Oh, you are going to want to gloat if he wins, aren't you?

Excellent Find!!! Just what we needed to understand a lot more about what makes Matthew tick!

There is a thread over at SS that discusses this... it refers over and over to the Saturn DVD and some things Matthew said.

He KNEW where the location was from reading spoiler boards, he had been to the Amazon (the handler was not too happy to find out he had done a trip before the location was announced.

He told the camera he was going to play dumb.

Matt is not Clueless

So Jeff said he was clueless because that is the persona they are portraying thru editing when in fact Matt is the mastermind. How sweet it is.

well could be, winkie.

It is Jeff's job as the frontman to lead us where MB wants us to go.

I am not at all convinced yet, but I am gonna be watching Matt very very closely for signs from now on.

Well, I just posted a lot about Matt on the "tonite's show" thread and I come here and I find all this information! I could have saved myself a lot of typing. LOL

Could someone send me a link to where the information is that Jeff gives out? I'd really appreciate it! Funny, at first I wasn't a big Survivor fan or really a BB fan until the 2nd season and then I got hooked. Now I've added AI to my list, including the Bachelor/ette. I think I might need a 12-step group soon. LOL

Thanks in advance if anyone has the link to the "Jeff info."

Oh, and I've wanted Matt to win from the beginning, too. I had wished some other people on the board would like him too. See, sometimes you DO get what you hope for! :)

I've liked Matt for awhile. Do I need to uncover some old posts to prove it so I won't look like a bandwagon jumper?

BASTABLE, why do the veins on Matt's muscles upset you? Is it just something that wigs you out? I'm all agog with curiosity now!

What's wrong with being a bandwagon jumper?
<jumps on>

I don't think he's brilliant in the game of Survivor, but I am seeing a side of him MB didn't let me see before. I see him as a person now instead of just creepy guy. He's really rather vulerable in the context of the game, but still doesn't have a clue that he is, and it makes me feel for him. But, I think he's going to go on an immunity run and it should be exciting to watch.

I think he probably IS a little weird, but I think the Norman Bates persona is a total fake out. If you think about it, he is doing a very intelligent thing either on purpose or by accident. He is being very useful, catching food, he votes as he is told...but since he is not a leader, he can never be held responsible for a boot.
I think people don't like him much, but he will probably win enough immunity or there will be someone more pressing to boot every time from now on.

I was just over at Sucks, and they have Jeff's weekly Friday morning radio interview posted.

Jeff clearly states that Matt is CLUELESS in the game of Survivor. Without a doubt.

The thing is, I have come to like Matt, despite his odd quirkiness. So, I am on the Matt bandwangon. I don't have to think he is playing a brilliant game to cheer for him.

I still say Matt will go on an immunity run, there is no other way he can advance. What we see on the show is how it was per Jeff.
The only secret alliance Matt had was with Rob, and that is all one way.

Going on an immunity run is still an admirable way to get to F2 (IF he does) I don't need him to be a brilliant game player in addition to that to support my support of him.

Also, being clueless in the game of Survivor does NOT mean that he is clueless in life. Two different things. I'm sure he is very intelligent irl, but too trusting and nice for this game.
Will he get to the end anyway? Time will tell

Did anyone else notice that Matt looked clean shaven on last night's espisode while the other men still have beards? This is the first time it has really stood out, were the Survivors given razors? Just curious, on cbs.com it says he brought a high school wrestling jacket as a luxury item.

bastable, you make me laugh. (but i'm with you on that vein thing!)

They won toiletries a while back, maybe they had a razor?

I was thinking the same thing Square. Matt is A LOT smarter than he has shown to his tribemates.

He is acting. He knew about the location before they were told from the spoiler boards, he went to the hotel that Chillone went to. He is acting for the tribe and the big difference is, he is acting for the camera. This is a big show.

Maybe Matt uses his highly-sharpened machete to shave with??? (OUCH!!!)

I really think Matt has a lot a book smarts, and a lot of survival skills......but he is lacking in the social skills (and maybe in some common sense) and that hurts the way he comes across on the show, but those survival skills of his are absolutely AWESOME for this show! He really did throw that RC last night, didn't he?

Regarding shaving: I was thinking last night they MUST let the women shave all along or they would look as hairy as the guys in places women shave! I would think that wouldn't go over well on TV where they're trying to interest the people who like to look at the "hotties" in the bikinis. And the women did win all those toiletries and now that they are combined, I'm sure all those things were transported to the new camp. The funny thing about thinking about the whole shaving bit last nite is, I didn't even notice Matt clean-shaven. LOL

Oh, and anyone who wants to jump on the Matt bandwagon is A'OK with me! ;)
