Webkitty | Sunday, April 06, 2003 - 04:58 pm     I can just see Jeff now: Do you want to know what your playing for? An authentic Amazon feast, complete with entertainment. And, since you were away from your families for Thanksgiving, (whips out his Cingular phone from his pocket) a call home to your loved ones. |
Moondance | Sunday, April 06, 2003 - 05:06 pm     I think you got it MsKitty! |
Webkitty | Sunday, April 06, 2003 - 05:11 pm     TY Moon You gave me the wire I needed to make all the connections work. |
Csnog | Sunday, April 06, 2003 - 05:52 pm     I have to laugh. We are getting pretty good at detective work. Hope the Mole comes back. |
Alaginger | Sunday, April 06, 2003 - 06:09 pm     I have to laugh too!!!

Clp | Sunday, April 06, 2003 - 09:48 pm     Herm - I think you are totally right about Matt! That "back" under the radar thing struck me, too. What has Matt been up to this point except all the way under the radar? Matt wins RC, takes one of the girls and then worries in a confessional before the IC that he is scared of being seen as too much of a threat because the threats are getting axed quicker than you can turn around. Matt gets to the IC, sees it is gross food, and knows he has it in the bag. The man ate fish eyeballs without even flinching for goodness sakes! He wins the IC and now the New Jaburu to vote off Matt plan is blown all to h*ll and that is when we see the scramble for power mentioned in the first website clue. Rob, Matt, Alex, Butch - vote Deena Jenna, Heidi, Deena, Christy - vote Alex IT'S A TIE! I haven't the foggiest who goes, but it wouldn't surprise me if Christy changed her vote to Deena. On top of that, I think the Butch-Christy alliance isn't so much an alliance as two free agents who slide into the final four because the other six are to busy cannabilizing each other to notice that Butch and Christy are taking advantage of the chaos. WHEW, I think that is my longest post EVER! BTW, I like Milkshaky too, except for the fact that he has been defending Heidi with every post, she is indefensible to me at this point! |
Alaginger | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 07:25 am     Clp........that was excellent......Sounds very plausible!!! Okay Guys.......I've been over to Survivor Phoenix, and the only new pictures they have up this morning are 4 overlays. Remember, a few days ago in this thread, I put up a really pretty picture of Christy, and then an overlay picture of Christy and Matthew, and then the single picture of Matthew. Well, this morning at Survivor Phoenix they are showing 4 overlays in a row. First is the one of Christy fading into Matt. The next is Matt fading into Jenna. The third is jenna fading into Deena. And the last one is Rob in one outfit fading into Rob in a different outfit. I have absolutely no idea what all of this means, or even why they bothered to put those up there.....but I'm going to go looking and see if I can find any write-ups that explain what any of it might mean. If I find anything......I'll be back!!!.............G |
Fruitbat | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 07:42 am     Sounds good Clp! Not to beat a dead horse or anything. I am still thinking Rob or Alex go this week. The crux of this contains two things. No mention of Deenas painful insect bite in promo yet. The friend of a friend who said Deena spilled the info that she *just* made the jury has to be false. This woman is a lawyer who signed a contract. I have all kinds of senarios of how this will come to pass but I will save you the 10 inch post.  |
Webkitty | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 08:33 am     Clp, good post, I am leaning toward Matt winning the RC myself. (still have Deena in my back pocket, though) Ginger, those overlays sound interesting. I really think ep9 is going to be "the Matt show" I think he will be key to a lot of what goes down. Commercials should start running today, I have the vcr fired up, I will post the minute I see one. I hope Mick shows up today, and I hope she had a good weekend, considering. Bat, I think there is a possiblity of Rob going because of the face time he got last episode, and because of the preview of him saying he is the one in charge. A possibility, but I still think Deena at this time. I am willing to keep an open mind about it though. Deena's bite (if she even got one) could come when she is trudging to TC, and we won't even hear about it until she gives interviews. On to another topic regarding Deena. Her weight loss is hearsay. Now, I have just contradicted myself because I am all about the spoilers. But, a spoiler is just that, hearsay. It's obvious that she did lose a good amount of weight, we see it for ourselves every week, she very well could have lost 31 lbs out there, but I don't recall reading anywhere that this was post show weight (after she got home) I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that her weight loss was reported by the same friend of a friend that said she gets a bite. Information could be corrupted through the telling. On the other hand, we have a picture of Rob posted on the internet that was taken at Christmas, showing him much thinner than he is now on the show. This makes we wonder if he makes F5. Alex going this week would be a shocker (for me) but not as much as Rob going. |
Micknrc | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 10:19 am     I'm here, WK! And my weekend was fine, considering the Drama and Trauma of Friday...(thanks for asking!) I'm with you on a lot of this (for today, anyway!) If I had to vote right now, I'm looking for a Matt RC. He brings Christy, because 1) he is still aware of his own loner/outsider status and sees the same in her (of course he hasn't seen her 'creepy' comments LOL) 2) the fact that the other 'cute' girls intimidate him--he knows as Rob does that they wouldn't give him the time of day outside the game and 3) it's not inconceivable to me that Christy could be the 'fair runner-up pick'--not one of the guys. (there's that pic of Alex and Rob standing to the side like they may already be out of the RC) Remember she's an outdoor adventure guide and I can picture her doing well at spears/darts. This is the date that brings (unexpected for Christy) some pleasure and happiness and a new perspective. One could argue that either they actually compare strategy/alliance notes and form new perspective/bond (which explains them in F4) or that the experience merely sets up a bond that will help them as they navigate this new shakedown in the order of the 'chain' we're looking forward to. IF they (or for that matter pretty much anyone who wins the RC) actually talks strategy/alliances, the killer is this-- We still have NO FREAKING IDEA (correct me if I'm wrong) of what Christy and Heidi think, know, or think they know about where they stand with Deena and the NuJaburu gang. Rob and Deena are trying to keep their thing on the DL, Rob is trying to do the same with Matt, and in the preview we have Rob gleefully explaining that he is in the middle of two people (Alex and Deena) who each think they're the boss when he really is! So at this point, any info-sharing is bound to explode in someone's face, while being exactly what the sideline players NEED to get going... I am also leaning towards a Mateo sweep of the challenges this week (although I don't think he necessarily will need Immunity when the shite hits the fan) with a Deena boot. Deena is skinny already--I have a hard time telling the difference when my DH (the RB) loses 10 or 20 lbs. and I see a big difference in Deena now. Plus I think she might be voted 'most likely to keep the weight off' as she was the one who said she wanted to go on the 'Survivor' diet (me too!) The RC took place on thanksgiving day. whew, if I think of anything else.... and yes, I am addicted to parenthetical phrases. |
Alaginger | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 11:04 am     I was just thinking this morning about the RC and how the pictures keep showing Butch and Heidi. There is a leaning to the spears being the starter and eliminating some players, and then the blow-darts being the final factor. And, I was thinking......who are they not showing. I was thinking Christy (and then I come here and read Web and Mick's remarks.....and go WOW!!!). So, I don't think Heidi goes, I think Christy goes....but I was thinking that Butch won the challenge. I think Butch would take Christy in a heartbeat.....but Matt taking Christy, that would be sooooooo neat to see! I would love to see him and Christy mix it up mentally and then kick some patooty! |
Car54 | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 11:22 am     If you read Dave's chat, he says there was some great footage of him and Christy swing dancing at camp that was not shown in his last episode. I think that shows a side of Christy we may not be seeing...that she does have good relationships and that she did have fun while there...she is portrayed as this left out character, and if she does make F4, she had to have gotten along pretty well! I am hoping they saved that for the recrap. |
Fruitbat | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 11:30 am     I agree. This is why many cry foul with the editing. If you don't put it out there they can't get it makes sense for displays of temper and acting out but not in their relationships with the others. Matt is definately an introvert but not as creepy and mysterious as he is portrayed. I am sure they all had pleasant conversations with him around camp. |
Webkitty | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 11:30 am     Mick, glad to see your weekend was fine Could you tell me how you know the RC took place on Thanksgiving Day? I know I saw a schedule somewhere, and I remember thinking at the time: I should print this out, but of I course I didn't This could mean something. I was reading over at Sucks that someone thinks the RC (darts) is a paired event. I am leaning towards Matt/Christy winning, and that is what brings these two unlikely people together as reward winners. They could share info, and this might be what causes Matt to have it out with Rob when they get back. I just caught a commercial, and it looks like Christy has clean hair and Matt's looks freshly trimmed, this could mean if they won the RC, they got a day spa along with food and a phone call to home because its Thanksgiving. I am going to review my tape of ep8 to see if Matt's haircut matches up. I am hoping we get a different commercial that will show something different, so I am continuing to tape. I am leaning towards a Matt sweep too. He is just too high on the target to not win immunity this week. This must be what throws everyone into a tizzy. Although, I have to tell you, from slow motion and freez framing, it doesn't look like Matt is going for it at all in the bug eating, while it does look like Alex is chowing down. But, it looks like there are three types of bugs they have to eat, and the commercial doesn't let us see which round this is. I agree about Deena and weight loss. This is not a consideration for her staying at this point, imo. She has already lost a lot of weight that would be very noticable to co-workers, even if she gained a few pounds back. I am looking at her pre-show pic right now and the difference is striking. |
Webkitty | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 11:34 am     LOL Car, ...recrap..... |
Webkitty | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 11:38 am     I'm going to go watch the TC meeting from ep8 right now, and observe Matt's hair. Then I will look closely at his hair for the IC (bug eating) I can do it quick, be back in a few. |
Micknrc | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 11:50 am     Webkitty-- TDT has a calendar... they put the RC on Turkey day w/ a question mark (I think they hedge due to unforeseen/unknown circumstances) but the timing works out. The link is on the spoiler page (ha ha, I know, I never look at all those lil links either...) |
Theowl | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 11:57 am     Mick, did you see your message in the members area?  |
Webkitty | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 12:09 pm     Mick, thanks for the info, I never look at the links either, but maybe I did one time......... Matt's hair at the IC is neatly combed back, almost like there is gel in it. It looks like he may have had a trim too, but I'm not certain. Of course, this could mean nothing except he combed his hair before the challenge. Chrisy's hair does look cleaner than it was in ep8. Maybe there WAS some shampoo left, but the other gals have their heads wrapped up in buffs for the challenge. She seems to be the only one with fresh looking hair that is not wrapped up. This could also explain why she is gagging. If she just had a big Thanksgiving meal the day before, she wouldn't be as starving as the rest, and the difference of what she just had to eat compared to the bugs might be too much for her. When I watched the commercial again, I did see Matt finally go for it, he was hesitating at first. |
Micknrc | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 12:46 pm     Owl, I had to look hard for it-- My folder fell off ages ago. But, I think we have a little misunderstanding goin' on. My marriage isn't over (it's fine, really, no, I mean it!), just my husband (I only call him the ratb@stard JOKINGLY, ha,ha) was laid off on Friday, and on the way home he stopped to pick up the taxes only to find out we owe $1800. It was a stellar day....but thanks for the condolences anyway, I'll apply them to my impending bankruptcy....ah ha ha ha aha hhhha hhha ha ha |
Grooch | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 12:49 pm     (((Mick))) And to top it off Russell Crowe just got married today. |
Micknrc | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 12:52 pm     I know, I'm wearing black. And Armani or not, (I usually love him) the old cow's dress was MOST unflattering! wait, maybe that counts as a good thing... <edited to add: and if you guys see the footage tonight on the entertainment-tv shows, I don't want to hear any carping about the blond ponytail-- he has to keep it until they're sure they don't need any more shots on the upcoming film> |
Theowl | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 01:01 pm     No No No Mick!!!! I was talking about RC!!! I'm really sorry if I said the wrong thing!!! I didn't know anything about your home life, I only know about your fantasy life!!! I'M sorry for the misunderstanding!! It was suppose to be a joke.  |
Micknrc | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 01:05 pm     Doh!! ...phew, I was worried there for a minute! <edited to add: "okay, youse, move it along... nothing to see here... back on topic..." roflmao> |
