Hey Guys,

If I get lost for a few days, don't forget me!!!
DH contacted the Charter Comm people today to get us on the pipeline for faster service than AOL is giving us. We've been AOL since 1996. Once the people show up, and we make the change......I hope I don't get lost from this board. I need my daily "fix". (LOL) You guys are the greatest!!!
Plus, if that happens......Moon will have to jump in and start doing the pictures.......Ginger

The calendars report

1 day RC
2nd day IC
3rd day TC

They have to fit everything into every 3 days.

MB and everyone else mentions TC every 3 days.

16 people 13 episodes. The last episode is 2 hours.

They might stretch a season with a recap. May is sweeps month.

I can just see me tackling the cable guy and screaming, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY FAVORITE PLACES???"

I'm sure I'll be fine, but it may take me a couple of days to learn the new server system....but I'll check in as soon as I can. So far, we don't know when they are coming because we missed the serviceman's call this afternoon on the answer machine, and the phone number he gave to call sounded like 1-8*%-$#(-*^(%. We listened to it a dozen times and it still sounded like 1-8*%-$#(-*^(%.

Alaginger,

You wont have any problems. I went from AOL to DSL and the only thing I saw was instant connection and higher speed. No problems with my screen or fav's.

Oh, I hope so Csnog........

I was reminded this evening that we will have both AOL and the new server until I cancel AOL, so that's another plus if I get confused. Actually, I'm really excited about this because sometimes I spend forever doing what other people tell me should have been a snap!!! When I download pictures from other websites for us to use here on the board, I know where they go so I can retrieve them. I will have to learn quickly where they go on the new server so I can retrieve and then upload here at TVCH.

Not for Episode 9 or the Recrap........but starting after all of that, while I'm thinking about it.....here are 3 pictures of Rob for comparison by our team of experts!!!

rob2
Rob 11 days after the end of Survivor

Take the middle picture, eliminate the facial hair in your mind, and determine if you think he has lost enough weight yet or has a few more episodes to go.......

Ginger, you are the best!
I think when Rob gets booted, he will not worry about trying to keep the weight off, so I would expect him to gain some back in 11 days.
But, it does look like he's getting close.

can you do the same for Deena?

Remember Peter from Marquesas? He said he was encouraged by MB to work out and lose weight after his boot (to use the time to get himself in shape). It was to help disguise his boot order too, if he went home thinner.

I am not so sure he would not want to keep it off. :) I think he is looking forward to fame bringing him some action in the babe arena.

He was a little heavy and I would not be surprized to hear he battles his weight or was a chubby kid.

He may just like what he sees in the mirror and maintain the loss.

I doubt the food on the yacht is all that fabulous. Jeff has mentioned the food is usually bad. He went ashore for a few days in Thailand and had a chicken sandwich at a Sizzler and said it was the best sandwich he has ever had, he was so desperate for good food. They hire local people to cook and they do their traditional food, they do not have special meals. It is usually very repetitive and starchy.

They ate local stuff at this one, I thought I read somewhere. Do we know where the losers were kept?

On a yacht and yes they are having a lot of rice and beans Jeff said.

Web-----re: your request for Deena ----- here it is. There was no picture of Deena after the show, but I copied a blurb from Survivor News!!!

Deena At The Start Of The Show

deena2
Deena At Episode 9

Blurp cut and pasted from Survivor News......
A longtime poster on another message board posted a rumor about Deena's possible longevity. "She was gone from work for like 7 weeks & came back all tanned & 30 lbs lighter.....so everybody was going crazy trying to figure out what happened."

I thought the jury was on the yacht. Where are they?

We had lunch on a river boat on the Amazon and it was great.

They served us fried fish, a wonderful rice dish, pasta, all kinds of fresh fruit, vegetables, pie and wine.

Oh, Csnog, when did you go? That sounds wonderful.


Bat I just realized I read what you posted backwards (I read it backward, not you posted backwards).

I meant where is loser lodge? Do we know where Jeanne and Janet and Shawna and Joanna are...oh, and Roger and Daniel and Ryan. Wow is that the weirdest mix of people stuck together for 2 weeks ever?

Deena looks like she's lost at least 30 lbs.

I read the jury was kept on a yacht too. (per ChillOne)

Thanks again Ginger!

Bat, I'm not getting the vibe that Rob was a chubby kid. He doesn't look all that heavy in his pre-game pic to me, just regular. Remember Jeff said that Rob knew more about playing the game of Survivor than anyone. He probably knew to beef up from his normal weight before he went.

From our thread "Chill One's Spoilers from S.S." which was copied and pasted for us by Hermione, #17 says:

17. The Tribal Council jury will live on a mega yacht once they are voted off and will stay there until the final episode's winner vote.

It doesn't say anything about the first 7 that were voted off. Where are the first 7? They can't come home because once the show started people would know that those in the first group back didn't last that long. So they have to be somewhere else. If the jury 7 are allowed to intermingle with the first 7, then this will give Alex and Shawna more time to get to know each other. Now I'm really curious, like Car, as to where the first 7 are?????

I am not getting any vibe that he was a fat kid. I meant that different things motivate Survivors to keep the weight off or gain it back quickly. Just musing that it could be that he is off next week and decides to work at keeping it off. That is all.

You know, I feel pretty convinced between CO and the CBS employee betting who the final two are, so it really doesn't matter who goes when...it matters HOW they go. To paraphrase Brian, it is all about the jury vote. They don't have to like you, they have to like the other guy less.

So who will make people madder and why... that is what we should be looking at. Of the supposed final 2, what role do they play in each boot and how will that win or lose them votes.

With Brian, the game was his to lose...by taking Clay along, all he had to do was not make anyone too mad...he came dang close if Helen was a more spiteful woman.

We have two fairly innocuous finalists right now ...one potentially "creepy", one who is pretty self-centered. Who will vote for who and why or why not. This time, I am thinking that it will be a vote against rather than a vote for that will win this.


Now I am interested again.

Ok Bat, I gottcha I was thinking that Rob lasts until F5, but maybe he DOES go the next TC after this. I still think Deena goes this week.

Car, ChillOne also said that the pre-jury boots were given a meal and sent home immediatly. This was challenged and he admitted that his intel probably just thought that, because they did NOT stay at the hotel there. (can't remember the name)
They were probably sent off to travel around the area like previous pre-jury booties.

Ok, I am laughing so hard I can't type.

Someone just posted a theory in the CO thread that DEENA is the tall muscular man with the side part who makes F2 with Jenna.

Ok, time for bed...the monkeys are out.

I have a slow connection tonight, its taking me forever to post

This better be good tomorrow night! Whatever happens, I want drama! I hope its not all red herrings, and Alex gets the boot, that would be so lame to me. The two big dramatic boots would be Rob or Deena, imo. (or any of the final four that ChillOne identified)

I want to see someone drive their car off the road and stuff their foot in their mouth! lol

Webkitty, I think maybe they learned something from GDiva posting her stuff before the show.

It would make sense to send the losers off on trips on their own or with a minder...that way they have no idea of the boot order. The only way is if they stay in touch when they get home, andn the ones who were not on long probably had less people to stay in touch with.
