I didn't understand Car's last paragraph either.

Oh, BTW, the coverage of the shows is very much needed and appreciated.

I think what I meant is pretty clear, if you don't want info about the show, don't come to a site and folder with info about the show.

I promise I will not be contributing to the issue any more.

Excuse me, but I DID want info about the show. I wanted info about the show that is posted in the title of the thread, the 4/10/03 show. I just didn't think the Final-2 would be revealed.

I'm a little worried about Christy - this is not the first time she has been on the wrong side of the majority - is she missing stuff because of her hearing impairment - is she being dismissed as irrelevant by the majority for the same reason?

Maybe she can succeed by keeping under the radar and unite with Butch and Matt or hopefully win immunity and let the egos self destruct

I apologize that I've offended you, Car. I really didn't understand what you meant about the facts of life about Survivor...and I'm afraid I still don't. I'll move on from this conversation as well since discussing it has upset you. That was not my intention. I was hoping to raise awareness and see if it is possible to do something different.

Spygirl, go read the Brad Lascelle thread over at SS if you want to see what other people who are into Survivor think about this issue.

I do this for fun. I just ceased to have fun and will do something else next Thursday. I spent one whole season not spoiling last year for exactly that reason. Not at all offended, just not having fun.

They gave the ending away when they aired Rob saying that the person going tonight is the person who least expects it. The Rob curse (name) should kick in soon.

Hummingbird, that was last night's show (Rob's statement.) That didn't bother me. It was that the F-2 were revealed that upset me.

Wiseolowl, Christy believed she was in an alliance with Deena. She has been loyal to Deena and voted with her since the tribes merged. I don't believe the rest of them let Christy in on the big switcheroo. I think she believed that the rest of them were voting with Deena against Alex.

Can someone clarify just what exactly everyone is bickering about? Is it that there are posts in this thread that tell exactly what is happening in the show at that very moment? Or is it that people are speculating - the "I heard from a friend who works for CBS" kind of thing or the "I just read on this website" thing?

I consider "spoiling" to be anytime I hear something about the show before I get to see it. Living here on the West Coast, I know that everyone in the East and Central time zone will see the show before me. Thus, I do not enter this site or thread until after I see the show. Simple as that. Won't get anything spoiled for me.

Maybe I wasn't reading carefully enough, but I didn't see anything about the final 2. Won't go back in the threads to read it just in case it was there. But just how does whoever know who the final 2 are? Again, is it mere speculation?

For what it's worth, I'm on both sides of the argument with the spoiling/non-spoiling. I've noticed too, that a lot of spoiling occurs here, unconscious or otherwise, and I don't want to know what happens ahead of time. So, I just avoid the Survivor room all together, in most cases. Yes, I don't get to talk about the show with y'all, but I'm not going to ask everyone here to censor themselves for MY benefit-that's absurd. Bottom line-if you want insurance that you're not going to get spoiled, stay away from the Survivor room.

Kind of like, if you're on a diet, don't go to the bakery.

I did come here to say this , though, about tonight's show:

I CRACKED UP at Heidi's "The two assets I bring to this game are my athletic ability and my intelligence." Excuse me, but no one that skinny and scrawny can have any athletic ability, #1, and #2, if she were so intelligent, she'd eat a sandwich once in a while!!!!"

Beachcomber, it's possibly all wrong. There was a guy who posted on another board that he took a vacation in the Amazon right after the finish of this season's Survivor. He gave out who he believes from his sources were the final 2, but he has been WRONG about some of the order of people going off so he could be wrong about the final two. You can read all about it in the Amazing Spoiler thread if you want to be spoiled.

Bite me!

I have been spoiled when I didn't want to (found out who left before the show) and laughed!!!... that's what this board is about... discussion. Can't & shouldn't control where that goes... it is all for fun. I understand what Car is saying, when the fun is yanked then what's the point...

Overall, I think everything is speculation- some speculation just has more reliable (or just more in general) sources than others. With or without the spoiling from other sites, it is possible to sit and try to figure out different scenarios for what may happen on future episodes. I think the problem is when people take information that they have seen regarding who the F2 are, and backtrack using that information to figure how how things work out to get to that final point. If that makes any sense...

I think everyone knows that this thread is for people to say what is going on in the show so you can find out what happens that night before seeing it. I avoid this thread until I see the show, then I read back starting at when the show ended to read comments. What should be avoided (and what is the issue here) is looking forward in regard to spoilers in terms of "since this happened tonight, we know that this spoiler was true so that indicates that whatever (as per a spoiler) will happen". Again, if that makes any sense...

I know it is hard to do and the threads tend to get confused. Maybe instead of doing a weekly show thread, there should just be one huge monster thread to discuss the show as it is happening, with a note written in near where you post that reminds you to not post future spoiling info in that thread. That way you wouldn't lose track of what thread you are in and give something away unintentionally. I doubt anyone does it on purpose.

Then there could be something like a future episode speculation thread where we could discuss what happened in that episode based on the spoilers. I think people just forget that there are some people here who don't read them and don't want to know how the whole thing will turn out.

Why can't spoilers/speculation be restricted to that thread instead of put in a thread labeled for discussion of the episode that just aired? It doesn't seem a hard rule to follow, and I for one would appreciate it (not spoiled at all and loving it).
