Who's Next To Get The Boot???
Lorry | Saturday, September 27, 2003 - 06:51 am     I thought it would be interesting to try and guess who would be the next survivor to leave, and from which Tribe. Drake - Jon - I kind of think the others feel he might be a tad annoying, and not really pulling his weight. Morgan - Lil - I hate to think Morgan would be dumb enough to kick out Lil, but she seems to be the odd man out right now. Plus, she might be a little too honest to last. I hope I'm wrong as she is a favorite of mine. I'd like to know who you think is next and why. |
Lori | Saturday, September 27, 2003 - 05:08 pm     Those would be my picks as well Lorry, for the very same reasons you stated. I like Lil as well but she hasn't really bonded with anyone (except Ryan S. - and he's gone). |
Queenfish | Saturday, September 27, 2003 - 06:56 pm     I think Lil will stay around for quite a while. I think I saw a little bonding between her and Andrew. Possibly there is more and we just haven't been alowed to see it. I just gotta hunch that she may stay longer than it looks like. Just a thought. |
Wrat1010 | Saturday, September 27, 2003 - 08:01 pm     Drake: I'm leaning towards Shaun over Jon, at least if they lose the next immunity challenge, because we've had negative comments about him from several players. Christa called him a puss. Sandra didn't like that he didn't share coconut milk. Rupert doesn't like him for losing the spear. I think there might be a Sandra-Christa-Rupert alliance and they may also have Trish (just guessing there) and Jon, and I include Jon just because of Week 1 when Sandra's comments to the camera suggested she needs him even if dislikes him. Morgan: It would have to be Lil or Osten. We've seen no evidence to support anyone else getting booted. A mutiny against Andrew might develop but I doubt it would happen all in one episode with no foreshadowing from the previews. I don't think Andrew would risk keeping Lil over Osten so I think Lil will go unless they win immunity and they certainly are due for a win after several close defeats. |
Whoami | Saturday, September 27, 2003 - 09:07 pm     Ummmm.....ok. This may belong in the spoilers folder. But, I'll tell you what I think. But, I'm gonna print in invisible ink, in case you don't want to know possible spoilers....if you want to know, just use your cursor to highlight below this.... I read a spoiler out there at one time that the third vote would be a male, and a "mercy" vote. That would lead me to believe Osten is the next to go, if he is really serious about wanting to leave. They could vote him out because he is begging them. Heck, maybe he will deliberatly sabatoge the next IC to prove to Lord Andrew that he was serious about wanting to go. |
Chippy | Saturday, September 27, 2003 - 09:23 pm     Cool cursor trick... I had no idea you could do that. I sure don't see Morgan pulling out a win next week either since they're sleep deprived, hungry, half way dehydrated and just plain dumb (Gawd, it took them the whole first episode to find out the water well was on the fricking map). And, of course Osten will surely have pneumonia by then (WTF is up with that?). |
Enigma2 | Sunday, September 28, 2003 - 06:06 am     Drake: I see Jon as the obvious choice to be voted out. Morgan: maybe Tijuana will be booted (this very pretty girl doesn not seem to have many 'survivor' skills) Note that in the 'Dive for Treasure/Dig for Treasure ( w. subsidiary pillaging privleges)'competitiong, Big Lil did a very good job of successfully diving for some booty. (Ryan O. did not do much better than Ryan S.) (unfortunately, it was already too-late for Lill's effort to do much good...) whoami: really liked the invisible message/ very appropriate for Pirate theme (the -fictional- clues written in invisible ink on a treasure map) |
Lorry | Sunday, September 28, 2003 - 07:40 am     I sure hope you're right Queenfish, as I think Lil is simply holding back on her skills at this time. I'd love to see her become invaluable to the Morgan Tribe. Lori, great minds think alike (hehe). Whoami, I am freaking over the curser trick. Now I can go back to those hundreds of sites where I was unable to read the print.... you rock!! Enigma2, I like your take on Tijuana (is that her name?). I was hoping she would do well, but you are right... she seems a bit pushy and a little too vocal, as per her arguing in the village. Wrat, your thoughts on Lil and Osten seem right on... but I'm still hoping Lil stays. I love to look at Osten, but for some reason I've got this feeling he just might sabotage his team. Chippy, I'm still undecided as to if Osten is faking it or what. If he is, then he sure is lowering the moral of his team, and if he's serious, then I have no respect for him. He should never have signed up to be on the show... and by the way... surely if it were true, the producers would not have taken the risk of including him in the cast, IMO. I also feel Morgan might have been set up by the producers, if indeed Osten's health was an issue they simply ignored. I'd like to see Morgan get a win to bolster their egos and give them some incentive to try harder and work together more. |
Enigma2 | Sunday, September 28, 2003 - 07:55 am     Three more pro-Lill comments: 1. Andrew seems to be noticing that Lill is far from the weakest Morganite when it comes to competitions. 2. Lill was the one noticing that Osten has all the strength and gusto he needs when he is cavoting/playing 3. At the tribal council, Lill expressed the tribes need to start fishing (They are starving) (They need to use some of that netting shown on their shelter to fabricate fishing nets.) (Lill was also the one who said: we need water NOW) |
Lorry | Sunday, September 28, 2003 - 08:00 am     Yeah!!! You have me all happy here Enigma! You're right... she does know what to do, and I hope they take her advice! Another thought.... why can't they fashion a spear from some of the bamboo? It would not be as efficient as the loaded spear the Drake tribe has, but it would still be better than nothing, and the fish seem in abundance so it wouldn't be that difficult. |
Surreal_Badger | Sunday, September 28, 2003 - 09:55 am     morgan -- as much as i'd like to see this bedraggled crew dump their "leader" Andrew, i'm afraid that lil will be next to go. i think her vote for osten at the last tc revealed/confirmed her alliance with ryan s. and hence, since she's not one of the "cool" people (which is, according to ryan at least, how this tribe is deciding who to boot), i think she's a goner. i really don't see who else would go. drake -- i think that rupert is next to go from this group. he has had a lot of airtime, which is at this stage often a sign of an early departure. i would LOVE to see jon go. but i think the promo with the fight between him and sandra is just misdirection. and i would love to see shaun go (he's the only other person besides sandra and rupert who's been featured in footage thus far), but i think he's buddy-buddy with jon and burton. i have a sad, sinking feeling that whichever tribe ends up at tc this week, that i'm going to be upset with their decision. |
Chippy | Sunday, September 28, 2003 - 11:38 am     I don't see Rupert going and I cannot believe Morgan would be stupid enough to vote out strength at this point. I'm like the rest of you and wish they'd pay attention to Lil. Seemed that Jeff got a little irritated with her answers at tribal council- I was LMAO thinking she was trying to be subtle and dumb it down so she wouldn't be targeted in the near future. |
Enigma2 | Sunday, September 28, 2003 - 01:33 pm     To Surreal: The problem, with your idea of "dumping" Andrew as leader, is determining who would replace him. (There is no one better qualified.) On the other hand, I was sort-of amazed at Andrew's comment at tribal council, that they would start to get-it-together 'tomorrow'. Sounds a bit like Scarlett O'Hara (I'll think about it tomorrow) or (tomorrow is another day) And just to get it off my chest: I am having a problem with the term tribe. A 'tribe of pirates'? (A tribe refers to an aboriginal group tied together by the same ancestry.) A 'confederation' of pirates would work, but it's long-winded. Maybe just sticking to the 'game' term of 'team' would work. (OK. am anal retentive. I've said it and I will now forget it. Sorry, in advance.) |
Surreal_Badger | Sunday, September 28, 2003 - 02:41 pm     in response, enigma, i'd trade in andrew for lil's leadership!! (or i'd scrap the notion of a leader altogether -- but that's just little ol' anti-authoritative me.) and "my bad" on using the term "tribe." i guess we could say "kudos" to CBS for dumping the cultural appropriation verbage. (but oh wait. . . pirates were often involved in the slave trade. so much for an anti-racist, anti-colonial survivor) |
Enigma2 | Tuesday, September 30, 2003 - 12:31 pm     To Surreal, Chippy and Lorry: Big Lill is my favorite Morganite. But putting her in a 'leadership' role is just too, too logical. (I do not think that –say Osten– thinks in a logical manner.) |
Lorry | Wednesday, October 01, 2003 - 07:51 am     Of course Enigma, you're absolutely correct... Logic is not one of Morgan's strong points. Plus I sure would hate Lil to have an even bigger target on her back. I hope they don't boot her. I hope, I hope, I hope... Thursday night, along with the popcorn I think I'll have a bottle of Pepto Bismol... haha |
Enigma2 | Wednesday, October 01, 2003 - 08:31 am     Lorry: I had a dream. I dreamed that the Morganites were smiling and happy because they had won an immunity challenge. I dreamed that as the triumphant winners lifted the immunity idol high over their heads, their shorts slipped to the ground. It was a good dream. And the moral of the dream: even incompetence has its rewards —And Big Lill slept well that night... |
Maris | Wednesday, October 01, 2003 - 09:37 am     I think Lill has a great deal of potential as a leader but I wonder if we missed something that they did not air. In the first show Lil said something about her being the outsider and she chalked it up to her age. I wonder if she didnt do something to alienate her tribe that we do not know about. Did she come into this game with the assumption that she would have nothing in common with these people because of her age? She is my favorite of the Morganites but I wonder if she is walking around with a chip on her shoulder that we are not seeing on the show. My absolute favorite for the win is Sandra. I like this girl and I am hoping she and Rupert form an alliance to go to the end. They are the best players and from what I have seen have jumped right into this game playing it hard. |
Auntiemike | Wednesday, October 01, 2003 - 11:09 am     Maris: I agree with your choice of favorites. They are mine too. I'm curious to see how Christa developes also. She might be part of their alliance. |
Not1worry | Wednesday, October 01, 2003 - 11:12 am     Enigma, did you happen to dream who's getting voted out next? |
Enigma2 | Wednesday, October 01, 2003 - 01:13 pm     To Not1worry: I didn't need to dream. My personal choice for removal would be Jon. To Maris & Auntiemike: I think that Lill is just a tiny bit paranoid (re being the oldest Morganite) (There may have been some question about Lill's strength and stamina before the first challenges, but that has since been proven false.) After Rupert, my favorite Drakette is Trish. (I think that she has a lot more to offer than Christa or Sandra...) |
Maris | Wednesday, October 01, 2003 - 03:50 pm     Well Trish sure had something to offer the shopkeeper in the village............ |
Pannie | Wednesday, October 01, 2003 - 04:44 pm     good observation, Maris. What are blue eyes going for these days? <glad Trish played along, and didn't know to be scared of the shopkeeper's intentions...> |
Enigma2 | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 02:16 am     To Maris & Pannie: Trish was the first one moving rocks in that first 'canon comp.' (while the other Drakettes were still standing with their mouths open...) Trish was also one of the (S&M-bondage) twosome tied onto the raft in the 'treasure chest comp.' Her bio says she is 41; married (knows how to compromise); has 9 yr old twin kids (knows pain and has patience). She has also run 24 marathons (physically fit and much stamina). And then, there is that dark hair and those pale blue eyes. Trish is (for me) a 'winner'. |
March | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 09:18 am     Well my guess would be RC - Drake wins IC - Morgan finally wins Boot - Jon (hopefully) |
Charjo | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 12:18 pm     If Drake played it smart this week, they would throw the IC competition and use the opportunithy to vote off Jon or Shawn. In the past, when one team has lost 3 players, then there is a switch the next week. This ploy would avoid that and keep the team together. IMHO |
