Okiekerriella | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 06:43 pm     What the heck was that about? he is the strongest player on Morgan and HE wants to quit? Why did he even apply for Suvivor if he was just going to quit? |
Ketchuplover | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 06:54 pm     I don't know |
Seamonkey | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 06:59 pm     He flatly refuses to tell me. |
Tweety | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:20 pm     Carefully edited footage - he's not giving up! |
Not1worry | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:22 pm     I think Lillian pegged him perfectly. He was losing and didn't like it. |
Teachmichigan | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:42 pm     He seemed rather smug at the vote...like he's whining was just that, whining for losing. Have to agree with Tweety...careful editing. My guess is Osten deliberately misled Ryan (after having his minitantrum with the other two), so he wouldn't "know" he was being voted off. I'm definitely rooting for the other team (Drake?). Even when they were upset with each other (the spear hook), they didn't have baby tantrums. They aired the anger then went on to solve the problem. Got a feeling Sandra didn't make any possible "alliances" with the raid if she makes it to the merge. Suppose that's the logic behind the whole looting reward? Tick off the other team so that cross-over combos are less likely? (Love it, regardless!) |
Squaredsc | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:06 pm     well if i was there in my undies an not an outdoors person i would take the first thing smokin back to boston, imo. |
Bob2112 | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:09 pm     Square, would those be the uncomfortable undies?  |
Squaredsc | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:19 pm     yep bob.  |
Mygetaway | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:07 pm     I almost wish they would have sent him home... What a sore loser. (BUT nice to look at either way... lol) |
Catfat | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 10:01 pm     Maybe the reason they have the looting from the other tribe is to put a stop to people throwing the reward challenges. Not only do they not get the reward, they actually lose something valuable. |
Pannie | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 10:07 pm     What a sore loser - you are right. Boo hoo hoo. I still think his entire goal is to become a model and this is his showcase. Since he's a loser and going to catch pneumonia (in the tropics??), then time to head home to the Ford modeling agency. Look for him next year in the Abercromby & Fitch catalog sporting those undies. Hey, it worked for Markie Mark! |
Texannie | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 06:04 am     Catfat, there have been times where tribes threw a reward challenge?? |
Lori | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 06:44 am     I think he commented his body was giving out or words to that effect. What is he talking about? He is probably the most physically fit tribe member. He may have a strong body but certainly his mental stamina is lacking. |
Sweetpea1994 | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 07:17 am     His body seemed to be working fine when he was throwing coconuts with Ryan O. |
Grooch | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 07:24 am     He is using reverse psychology on his teammates! He is just letting them think he wants to quit, so he isn't perceived as a threat and they will keep him when the numbers dwindle. He has them and all the fans bamboozled! He is the master! Go, Osten! |
Lilfair | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 07:35 am     I agree with all that Lori wrote. Osten is built like a brick sh!t house and he has the gall to complain his body is giving out. I'm getting the sense this Osten isn't to bright and even though he may be physically fit mentally he's out of his league. My favorite Lil moment was when she pointed out that even though Osten is complaining about his body giving out he didn't seem to have any problems playing football. |
Tasia | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 07:55 am     Osten may be eye candy but he has the pretty boy mentality. The focus has to be on him. It wouldn't surprise me if we see other "stunts" coming up in the future from Osten for that coveted air time. I think he really did want to be voted off. The man can't stand to be on a losing team. (Have an ex the same way, bought the tee shirt etc etc). What came across to me was I could almost think he wanted to be pampered by the other tribe mates because of his physique. He's spoiled and he's there for the wrong reasons. I personally think Morgan should have kicked him to the curb last night. Someone that self involved doesn't need to be there. He's more of a hinderance than an asset. |
Lilfair | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 08:29 am     My first prediction is that Morgan will keep O for 1 more round then boot his tight a@@ to the curb. I'm not getting that anyone has that loving feeling towards him on the team, in fact they all seem disappointed in his whiney ways. We've had 2 very physical immunity challenges and reward challenges right off the bat. I bet the next challenge might have more of a mental aspect to it and I doubt O will be able to contribute much. My hope is that Lil gathers up her thoughts and begins to organize and inspire her teammates and in doing so gets rid of O and Andrew…both of whom haven’t inspired nor helped to lift the spirits of Morgan…in fact have done the opposite. |
Murph | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 08:44 am     IMO, Osten craves attention and needs constant ego stroking. By telling the others he wanted to leave he had them telling them how much he was needed, we need your strength,etc. They were trying to convince him he is so needed and he loved all the attention. I think he was a little over the top with his," blood in my lungs". Poor, Poor , Osten. |

Lilfair, I see that Osten has you bamboozled as well. From his profile: He is currently employed as an equity trade manager with an investment management company. Taylor attended the Thompson School of Applied Science where he received an Associates Degree in Business Management He went on to study resource economics at the University of New Hampshire. He is most proud of having worked on Wall Street, which was a childhood goal. His father is his hero because he was able to put himself through college and graduate school, graduating Magna Cum Laude. I believe Osten will excel in the mental challenges. I'm telling you, this whole "I want to leave" thing is a sneaky (and very smart) strategy on his part. Yay, Osten! |
Lilfair | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 09:05 am     Grooch, I guess we'll have to see. I don't put too much stock (pun intended) into the mental superiority of the Wall Street/trader types. I am somewhat in the business and know many idiots in the field. We all know too many people with Masters degrees, Doctorate degrees and seemingly high academic credentials that are dumb as a box of hair. The beauty of this game, for me at least is trying to predict the human behavior of the castaways. And I’m so happy to have found a place to post about the show. |
Grooch | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 09:18 am     Well, I'm easily impressed by anyone who will study economics by choice and not as a requirement. Btw, welcome aboard! |
Lori | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 09:54 am     Well Grooch that could have proved a costly strategy. The tribe could have taken him at his word and voted him off. I agree with Lilfair re: education. Some of the most educated people I know are the most clueless. Welcome Lilfair! |
Kmjm | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 10:01 am     Uh, just want to point out that,according to the above, Osten didn't graduate magna cum laude from graduate school, his father did. What is resource economics anyway? I don't think Osten is a mastermind either, BUT what was up with only Lillian and Ryan being convinced he wanted to be voted off? This is not good news for Lillian. At the end of the show they showed that lawyer armani guy who is their leader (forget his name) talking to her about something to do with the vote I think, sounded like he was scolding her for voting Osten. Can anyone remember what he said? I worry that there was some plan to out Lillian and Ryan in terms of their loyalty. Certainly Lillian was not privy to the group decision at tribal council. |
