Theowl | Friday, October 31, 2003 - 08:44 am     On the Early Show, did Osten REALLY call Jeff a Coward???? What the ????  |
Ninja_157 | Friday, October 31, 2003 - 09:09 am     I didn't hear about the coward comment...someone please dish... On Osten quitting...I think he knew he was going to be voted out anyway, so maybe he tried to make it look like his decision instead of the tribes. Now he can always say he CHOSE to leave rather than he LOST. I agree he is a quitter, but I can also see how he would think his health was worth more than a million dollars (if that was a honest reason). |
Djgirl | Friday, October 31, 2003 - 10:18 am     Don't forget Daniel from last season, who didn't quit, but will have to live with the threat of malaria over his head for the rest of his life?!!! Osten is an <M>, plain & simple - in my opinion anyway! Editted for spelling & to add: Don't forget, Osten was talking about pneumonia after the third day there - don't tell me that he gave it his all - he quit three days in! |
Gidget | Friday, October 31, 2003 - 11:00 am     You are making my point for me Djgirl. Malaria for a game??? Ridiculous. |
Djgirl | Friday, October 31, 2003 - 11:06 am     Oh My! I was modded for the first time - sorry Mods my temper got the best of me! Won't happen again! |
Bastable | Friday, October 31, 2003 - 11:12 am     "Malaria for a game??? Ridiculous. " Then why go on Survivor at all? Isn't it pretty much a given that conditions will be tough? I say, if you're not willing to be on Survivor, don't go on Survivor! |
Djgirl | Friday, October 31, 2003 - 01:24 pm     And as an afterthought - I wasn't trying to support Osten's decision to quit - I'm quite opposed - as others have pointed out, this is Survivor's 7th season, and he should have been well aware of the conditions he would be living under. I am not impressed with Osten's "woe-is-me" attitude, especially when there are thousands of others who didn't get this opportunity - he threw the towel in at day 3, not day 30. |
Spear | Friday, October 31, 2003 - 02:41 pm     Osten did call Jeff a "coward" on The Early Show. He elaborated a little bit in his web chat with Shawn: link Q: Osten, why did you call Jeff a coward? Osten: The reason why I called Jeff a coward is because a) he is a coward, and b) the reason I stated he was a coward is because if you have something to say to someone, you say it to their face, not wait until they're gone. |
Gidget | Friday, October 31, 2003 - 04:07 pm     I can see your side Djgirl. I really can. But this whole thing with Osten has got me thinking why do I find people really risking their health and well being a form of entertainment. I am not talking about inconvenience and discomfort. I'm talking about contestants picking up diseases the civilized world has endeavored to protect us from and starvation as a game is an insult to the billions of people who go to sleep hungry every night of their lives. I really didn't see this until one of the contestants (Osten) stood up and said enough. |
Bastable | Friday, October 31, 2003 - 10:23 pm     But Gidget, Osten didn't get a disease. No one has. Osten quit for a "what if." That's quite different from actually compromising his health. |
