Thanks Cathie! I guess I should pay more attention to the links I post.

Do you think that there is a rule that the tribe about to be pillaged is not allowed to hide stuff? Why else would they leave the good things out in the open.

Spear

Yes, there is a rule. Ryan S. mentioned that in his online chat.

Thanks Spear.I thought there had to be a reason.

(Sept. 1 on CBS. For a time, he says he fell for "the greatest lie ever told on 'Survivor.' "

"It's brilliant. It's brutal and it's brilliant and it totally suckered me," says Probst, who, naturally, won't divulge who told the lie or what its ramifications were. "My first reaction was 'Motherf----r,' and then my second reaction was 'Wow, that's amazing.'
The fantastic fib would seem to fit well with the overall theme of "Pearl Islands," which is piracy. The two tribes are called Drake and Morgan, after two English pirates (Sir Francis Drake and Capt. Henry Morgan) who sacked Spanish forts in the 16th and 17th centuries. Probst says working with that theme helped keep the show fresh for him and the crew this time.

There's ... a very, very regrettable event that happens, and the person to whom it happens is going to regret it ... more than they have any idea right now," he says. "I couldn't believe it when it happened, and I can't wait for it to play out.
Anyone have any idea what the big lie is?

O.K. Starlymaie. I'll try:

It will be discovered that Rupert is really a woman.

Actually, I've read other interviews with Jeff that state that it's Jon that lies, and has the regrettable event - I'm pretty sure it's coming up shortly - maybe even tonight... :)

Over at TWOP there was mention of a swap and Rupert goes to the other tribe. Jon gets drunk and acts like Jon.

It was also stated in the post I read about the lie, that the lie started during the 2nd show.

I caught the show after the first 15 minutes. What happened to Osten in the water?

Danzdol, the challenge was to get pieces of jigsaw puzzle from the bottom of the sea or buried in the sand. When it was Osten's turn he tried to dive for the piece of jigsaw puzzle, and I don't know if he got breathed in water or something, but when he came up he said something like "I'm going to drown", Jeff told him to grab the rope, but that didn't help, so two guys went in to help him back. I don't understand why he didn't go for the one of the pieces buried in the sand instead, but that seems to be typical Osten behaviour.

Has someone answered this elsewhere....Why did Shawn vote for Burton? I thought they were allies. What did I miss?

Lorry

Redpen: Burton gave an interview in which he thinks that Jon went up to Shawn at the very last moment and told him that he (Jon) would be voting out Burton... and that Shawn more or less had to go along with it.

Burton seems to feel he would have had to do the same had it been Shawn being voted out. No hard feelings toward Shawn from Burton... so I guess Shawn had to.

Redpen: along with Lorry's info, Jon said he has a one-to-one alliance with Shawn, too (along with all his other alliances.) So Jon filled him in to keep that commitment. Jon likely sold Shawn on the 'boot out of strong guy' theory.

Yes, Jon said that he had three alliances: a five-way; a four-way and a two-way (w. Shawn). Perhaps that two-'cheek' run down the beach was a signal that he was going with the two-way alliance???

Enigma: You are soooo full of Piss & Vinegar today... and I love it... hahahahaha

I think all that nekkid butt running is part of Jon's plan to disgust the ladies to where they want to be voted off so that Jon has a better chance of winning... haha

Yeah, I noticed the 'long' pants also and wondered about it. I remember him cutting off the legs on his Armani.

Poeticdebi & OphiliasGrandma:

Great question! Another "mystery" for us to solve...lol

We have to get some more input from the other posters... maybe someone has a clue for us.

Maybe he bought a suit with two pairs of pants?

Lorry

Weinermr: Sure he did, but did he have both pair on when he jumped in the water? lol

I have a question... Why didn't the survivors booted off leave their clothing for their teammates? Ahhhh I know they probably were upset they were going... but still... with the chance of coming back... I'd think they would garner some points by leaving their clothes.... but then again... I'm an old lady with little to do but dream up these wacky ideas...rofl

You people are just too sharp for me. I remembered Andrew going into the jungle and he was wearing his suit jacket. But I didn't notice the pants. I just went and looked at my tape and –yes, indeed– both Andrew and Ryan were wearing long pants.

I see two possible explanations:
A. Again, in those murky mists of memory, I seem to recall that on that first show, Andrew was not the only guy wearing a suit. Burton &/or Shawn was also wearing a suit, and when he jumped-ship, he left the jacket behind. (I have a mental memory of someone in pants, a blue shirt and a red tie (no jacket) jumping off the ship.) The guy with the cut-offs may be Burton or Shawn. (And Andrew has been neatly keeping his pants in the closet...)
B. Rupert –now that he has a sewing machine– has opened a tailoring business, and (via those mail boxes) is supplying the guys w. pants.

(I am finding that –due your sharp observation skills– I cannot just watch the show. I need to keep tapes as 'evidence.')

I see all the little crabs around the Morgan camp. Does anyone know why they don't catch and eat them?
