The Granola Bar

Heyltslori | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 10:10 am     During my H.S. experience it was the librarian that was the most influential in my life. I hung out in the library a lot and this amazing woman taught me many things. She encouraged me a lot and really made those years a lot happier and more productive than they would have been otherwise. I think that during H.S. it's about making a connection...whether it be with a teacher, a librarian, a counselor, a friend, or a group. Now...to get this thread back on track. It was my granola bar. I admit it. And you should see what else I've got hidden!! |
Moondance | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 10:12 am     Hermi you must check out that video profile of Hedi's on the CBS site... you may change your mind. Of course if you don't I may have to leave in a HUFF! |
Hermione69 | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 10:25 am     Moondance, why do you say that? I can't really get a lot out of the video profiles because they are not captioned, so you have to tell me and you cannot leave in a huff! P.S. Lori, I'm thrilled you had such a positive experience with a librarian. Stereotypically we are still thought of as territorial old bats who go "Shhh!" a lot, LOL! |
Moondance | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 11:34 am     Well you really do not need to 'hear' anything... if you watch, you see a gronala bar (similiar to the one that was found) right by her bed. She does say though in the video that ... 'she brought granola bars and triscits with her from home'.
BTW Librarians Rock! |
Seamonkey | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 01:05 pm     Just to stir the pot, Christy lists granola bars amongst her favorite foods As for Janet, I'd say one of the difficulties she had in adjusting and not being able to form an alliance WAS being accused of having been the source of the granola bar.. |
Curlyq | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 01:21 pm     Wasn't the granola bar they found in a red wrapper? The one in Heidi's video profile is in a silver wrapper and she calls it a "fruit bar". |
Hermione69 | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 01:22 pm     Here's my new theory: Heidi smuggled it in as evident by the fact that she had a smiliar item in her video footage. But Christy saw it and stole it from Heidi because it is one of her favorite snacks. She hid it in Janet's bag until she could find a chance to sneak away and eat it. Jeanne did indeed see it in Janet's bag and she snuck it out of Janet's bag and slipped away to eat it in the middle of the night, but dropped it by mistake and it was too dark to find it despite frantic search efforts on her part. Joanna stumbled across it early the next morning when she got up to pray, but thought it was an evil granola bar conjured up by the Idol and pretended she didn't see it. Then Jenna, when she got up to pee, saw the granola bar laying on the ground and promptly hid it in her bikini bottom, but then she decided it was too gross to eat and she threw it aside and went to boil her bikini bottom for having been contaminated by the gross granola bar with all those bugs that must have crawled across it. Whereupon Shawna found it later and tossed it in the wooden box and meant to say something to everyone, forgot, and was too scared to admit she put it there when it was found. Deena found it first in the box, briefly thought about eating it herself, but settled for interrogating everyone as befitted her profession so they would know not to cross her later. Viola! We have the granola bar incident. And poor Janet, the only one who never actually laid eyes on it until it was found in the box, is blamed and voted off. <edited to add Deena who got left off in the first scenario> |
Moondance | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 01:26 pm     Yes Curly but the bar found at the camp was a fruit granola bar with a silver and pinkish wrapping... same as Hedi's. LOL Hermi! Love it! |
Whoami | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 02:09 pm     LOL Herm! Sounds a lot like Murder on the Orient Express to me! |
Alaginger | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 02:43 pm     APPLAUSE FOR HERMIONE!!! |
Seamonkey | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 02:56 pm     Perfect!! But I think Heidi originally got the granola bar from Ryan, who she'd secretly met before the tribes were formed. He asked her to hold onto it but was foiled when the teams turned out to be split male vs female. He was so distraught that he was off his game and thus was booted first. |
Hermione69 | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 03:01 pm     Good one, Seamonkey! ROFLMAO! (Anybody else think I have too much time on my hands to come up with a scenario like that?!) |
Car54 | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 04:26 pm     Joanna had granola bars too. Her friends gave her a food basket as a going a way gift. Hermione, you need to watch the Mole when it comes back on. It will drive you nuts. |
Fruitbat | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 09:42 am     Moon, good catch! We will never really know for sure is my bet but looks like Heidi. |
Car54 | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 10:03 am     I think they do call in or e-mail questions for the booted survivors on the Early show. We need to ask this every week til somebody spills it. |
Emt911 | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 10:15 am     I think it was originally strapped to "I'm not gay Roger's" inside thigh to make him look well-endowed in the family jewels department. We had a guy in the E.R. years ago, wearing spandex gold lamee pants and when we had to cut his pants off, we found a salami duct-taped to his thigh! It's good he was unconscious at the time, because we all laughed out loud! |
Webkitty | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 10:22 am     LOL Emt! Herminone, that was a superb post! <still chuckling> Moon, I agree, it sure looks like Heidi could be the culprit. |
Grooch | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 12:25 pm     From TVInsider Survivor: The Amazon's Granolagate Monday, February 24, 2003 Survivor: The Amazon's Granolagate Forbidden food items always fuel drama amongst Survivor's half-starved contestants. Army officer Kel was marched off Australian Outback for sneaking beef jerky. Basketball coach Clarence got bounced out of Africa for secretly snacking on a can of beans. And last week, Janet Koth was Survivor: The Amazon's second castoff, voted out for allegedly packing a granola bar. On this show, that's a no no. She denied guilt to her fellow femmes in the Jaburu tribe, but will Janet now eat her words? "Absolutely not," the 47-year-old Missouri housewife tells TV Guide Online. "Some people believe you cheat, lie and steal to win Survivor. That's not me." So Janet was framed? Well, that's her take. "I think it's interesting that [the granola bar] was smuggled in and planted on me," she says. "I don't know why I was chosen. I can't wait to find out who actually did it! They totally frisked us before we started the game — I don't know how somebody brought it in." Janet calls Jeanne — the accuser who claimed she'd seen the crunchy treat fall out of Janet's backpack — a "very aggressive woman." Sizing up her rival, she adds: "Of course, everybody is questioning Jeanne's motives. There were two of us middle-aged women out there. Did she want to be the only mom figure? Otherwise, I don't understand the threat that I posed that would make her pinpoint me." Survivor's self-proclaimed "mid-life crisis" also doubts Deena — "the know-it-all prosecutor" — as well as her younger tribemates, like Heidi, Jenna, Shawna and even Christy, the deaf contestant she briefly forged an alliance with. Janet blames editing for making these junior deceivers look "sweet and innocent" to viewers, although "that's as far from the truth as you can get." To sum up, members of the jury, the defendant pleads her innocence to the last. "On day two, I was collapsing and weak," Janet reminds us. "If I'd brought [a snack] in, I would've eaten it! But it's still lying there on day six?" Hmm ... — Daniel R. Coleridge Link |
