The Extra Clips Unplugged
Bcandscott | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 10:08 am     Sometime later today, I'll try to do the voting cam stuff. I have a sick doggie (they are so much like BABIES when they are sick) but I'm going to work on it later. There is a clip of the vote that ousts Andrew, and ALSO the votes by the outcasts on who they want to re-enter the game! I hope to do a "what they said" vs. "what they really meant" kind of thing. We'll see. |
Grannyg | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 11:18 am     please, little doggie, get to feeling better so bc can help us out. |
Pamy | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 11:45 am     Thanks BC!! I just can't understand why they didn't show the wedding, it sounded sooo sweet and something they have never done on a Survivor before!!! You are so great to do this for us!! You always make me laugh! I am sending good thoughts that your doggie gets well soon!! They are like our children. Please let us know how he is doing |
Bcandscott | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 01:31 pm     Morgan Has Mail Andrew and Morgan walk out to get the seachest mail. It has a little anchor attached. It says "If you're waiting for an easy challenge, I wouldn't hold your breath, Submerge yourself in the will to win, This is a genuine pirate test." Darrah explains they think they have to go under water and hold their breath. She says a lot of other stuff, but her Mississippi doesn't translate well even to my Ohio transplanted from West Virginia, so I have NO CLUE what else she might have said. Ti immediately says she can't hold her breath for long. Lil looks glum. (This may or may not have to do with the mail since Lil has looked glum from the moment she pulled that orange buff out of the pot and found out she was going back to Morgan.) Andrew says, It's all about who wants it the most. The most important part of this clip is watching Andrew and RyanO walk down the beach in their undershorts to get to the seachest thing. RyanO wins, IMHO. Voting Booth Andrew votes Jon - He says, Little Jon, you talk too much smack. He writes Little Jon What Andrew really wanted to say - Your tribe got the island with all the fish, you got the lemon tree, you got the best spear, you bought PINEAPPLE, and if it wasn't for YOUR tribe, I would be winning this thing. I'm sorry I let you wash your hair. Jon votes Andrew - He says, Ooooo, yeeah, Mr. Macho, Mr. Savage goin' down. Dig it! He writes SAVAGE. He bounded up to the voting thing all perky. It was annoying. What Jon really wanted to say - You recognized me from Springer, didn't you, Mr. Smartypants lawyer. RyanO votes Jon - He says, It's not because I don't like you, I just don't know you that well, it's too early in the game. I don't know, you're the only one I could vote for. Bye then. See you around. He writes, Johnny Fairplay. What RyanO really wanted to say - I don't like you. Darrah votes Jon - I'm voting for you tonight Jon because of my tribe. Otherwise, you're a pretty cool guy, but I don't know you that well. She writes John. What Darrah really wanted to say - Pass me some beans and cornbread and give me an extra helping of greens, would ya? Trish votes Andrew - She says, (I think, music is annoyingly loud.) You are a beast being out here. You're a smooth talker, too. Goodbye. She writes SAVAGE What Trish really wanted to say - Heh, when we did the cannon challenge, I saw your willy! Lil votes Andrews - She says, it's time I stood up for myself. I'm so happy that we've learned and now I know your feelings. I would have been gone anyway. This is for me standing up. This is for my friend Nicole. And this is for Ryan Shoulders who does have 110% heart. She writes Andrew. What Lil really wanted to say - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. BWAHAHAHAHAH. BWAHAHAHAHA and by the way, in case you missed it, BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Burton votes Andrew - He says, this is a strategic move to keep my alliance strong and tear your tribe apart. He writes ANDREW. What Burton really wanted to say - Would you leave me your jacket when you go? Sandra votes Andrew - She says, I really didn't know you, so there's not that much I can say about you. Usually I like to say ugly things, but it's time for you to go, you know. Adios. She writes Savage. What Sandra really wanted to say - Well, OK, I want to say something ugly. When we did that cannon challenge, Trish and I saw your willy and we can't figure out how YOU ended up "leader of the tribe." Rupert votes Andrew - After the feast, I tried to offer you a deal. I could get you to the six maybe more. It would be your three and my three. Then you come back two minutes before TC and tell me you want to take the deal. I can't change everybody after that. You're gone man, I'm sorry. He writes Andrew. What Rupert really wanted to say - You really should have tried to learn to fish. Ti votes Jon - She says, (she talks really quiet and fast) Johnny Fairplay, this is why this vote is for you. You came to our camp and you stirred things up over at the Morgan tribe and then after that I heard some bad things about you from your tribe, that you are a troublemaker, about you being manipulative. When it comes down to it, my tribe thought that you would be the one to go. She writes John Fairplay. What Ti really wanted to say - Johnny Fairplay, regarding what you asked me right after the merge....NEVER in a million years and if you were literally the last man on earth. The Outcasts Make a Decision Ryan Shoulders votes Burton and Lil - Burton is beyond deserving and he brought the challenge home for us today. Lil, I would never put your name down unless it's for something good. If it's not me, I hope it's you. What RyanS really wanted to say - PICK ME, PICK ME, PLEASE PICK ME!!!! Trish votes Burton and Lil - Burton I'm voting you back in because I know you can win individual immunities. I think you have a real shot of winning. I can't think of another outcast member winning so good luck! So good luck buddy, I hope you can do it. Lil, I'm voting you back in the game because I think you more than anybody have something major to prove and I know this is extremely important to you. I think that you will work with Burton to get down to the final two to do whatever it takes. I hope that you both end up in the final two. Good luck. What Trish really wanted to say - I really really really want to vote for myself, PLEASE let me vote for myself. Burton votes Michelle and Nicole - Michelle you are the only person in this game that I have talked to and trusted. You're the only one that never lied to me and I hope you get a chance to go back in. Nicole you're a really strong athlete and they never gave you a chance to be in it. I hope this is a second chance. What Burton really wanted to say - Aw, come on, I wanna go back...PLEASE let me go back. Lil votes RyanS and Trish - Ryan, you accepted me no matter what. I hope we can be together, thank you. (wind really picking up...remember there is a storm later, cannot make out half of what she says) Trish, I know I'm older than you but it was nice having someone close to my age to talk to. What Lil really wanted to say - If you let me go back, I promise, Andrew is history. Nicole votes RyanS and Lil - RyanS I am voting for you because I honestly think that you can win this game. I hope you do. Lil, my vote is for you because quite honestly, because if I end up not getting in I don't want to listen to you complain anymore about not being in the game. (Wind is getting worse. You can see the torches being blown around more.) What Nicole really wanted to say - Don't send me back, I do NOT want to wear this dress anymore...EVER. Michelle votes for Burton and Nicole - Burton, out of the 16 people out here, you are the most deserving person and the most capable, I think you can go all the way, Good luck, Burton. Nicole, uh....this is for the underdogs. I know you are one bad b**** and you'll go and get them. So, good luck. What Michelle really wanted to say - Aren't I cute. Notice how much I am NOT a girly girl. Really, I'm soooo cute. You're going to send me back, aren't you. AREN'T YOU???? Immunity Challege: Keel Haul This was the challenge as seen on TV. Jeff welcomes the tribes to council. He asked Sandra about the food on Drake. Sandra discusses the menu and Savage talks about how they have no food. Andrew says he doesn't expect a merge or big buffet. NEW BUFFS! They are black. They are ONE TRIBE. I think they are all thrilled....why...they all have a CLEAN ITEM OF CLOTHING....a new buff. Immunity will be individual. The new immunity icon....a sword. Jeff explains keel hauling. In the olden days, if a pirate was bad he was tied to ropes running under the ship. He would then be drug or "hauled" from one side of the ship to the other UNDER the keel. He had to hold his breath the whole time and the barnacles on the bottom of the ship would shred his skin. His blood would then draw sharks. Pirates weren't all fun and games. As we suspected, the Survivor version of keel hauling is a little less strenuous. Heck, without Osten to fake drowning, how exciting can it be? They have to swim under a platform pulling themselves by a rope. There is a tempting hole in the middle of the platform where one might be tempted to come up for air. They have to do two laps in heats. Rupert and Trish and Jon are running strong. First heat, Rupert and Jon. (Wonder if they know that Rupert lists being on the high school swim team in his bio....heh.) Watching this this time....Andrew doesn't even seem to be trying. He's just whipped. I don't know if it's the fatigue from lack of food, or the fatigue from complaining about lack of food, but the dude isn't on his game. Rupert is strong, Burton is too. It's SOOOO close. (Anyone notice that Rupert has gotten more buff. It's not weight loss so much as toning. He's not got the ripped look of Osten, but he is looking so solid now. He was a little flabby starting out, but at this point he is just big and tough.) It's REALLY close. Burton wins basically because he gets the medallion on the post and dives in during a fraction of a second where Rupert is putting his medallion on the hook. Jeff explains about how the immunity can be passed along. Jess also mentions food. Andrew is thrilled. Everyone cheers. |
Pamy | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 02:09 pm     Thanks so much BC! That was great, I couldn't wait til tomarrow so I read it today! Damn, now what will I do when someone pisses me off tomarrow! LOL BTW,,when you wrote Christa did ya mean Trish? |
Teachmichigan | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 02:13 pm     WONDERFUL commentary BC...thanks so much!! I've been grading research papers all day, and I definitely needed the laughs! Now I can face more papers! |
Teachmichigan | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 02:13 pm     Oopss...sorry!! I didn't see Pamy's comment...No need to correct things twice!! Is there any way I can edit my own posts? |
Pamy | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 02:21 pm     I think BC can ask a MOD to change the name for her |
Bcandscott | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 02:51 pm     Hah, I could have messed up more than once. I think I said something about Lil this morning when I mean Ti, so hey. MODS, feel free. I'm not proud. |
Teachmichigan | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 06:59 pm     BC...I actually found a way to edit my own posts. My first comment after Pamy had actually said something about Christa vs. Trish, too. If you go under profile, it lists the posts you've made...and it appears that you can edit them within a certain amount of time (I could access the ones from today...but not ones from ealier). That being said...I'd say WHY BOTHER?? You're spending sooo much time keeping us entertained with your commentary that I wouldn't take time to edit anything, if I were you! We love you no matter whose name appears in the summaries! LOL ;) |
Bcandscott | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 07:24 pm     Well, I tried, but wasn't able to get to them because they were more than 10 minutes old. I don't know why, but I have trouble with the names Christa and Trish....I switch them. I know who I'm talking about but will call them by the wrong names. Heh. Oh well. Again, if a mod sees this and wants to fix for me, cool. |
Reader234 | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 08:00 pm     I'm sure a mod wiill come around, but thanks so much for your post, and your commentary!! Awesome!! I just learned the trick to add "new messages", dont know if the mods use that, that is why I stated "mod" in the opening of my sentence, hoping to alert them... then again In any way, you DONE GOOD!! and I want to thank you!! |
Gina8642 | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 03:29 pm     It's kinda interesting that neither Burton nor Lil voted for the other to return to the game. Methinks that makes an alliance between the two less likely. |
Bcandscott | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 08:46 am     I'm sorry I didn't get the clips done this week, but I promise...DOUBLE DOSE next week...I'll do both weeks at once. Hopefully, going to Doctor on Friday and will find out why I'm such a lazy butt these days. |
Lorry | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 02:09 pm     BC, I sure hope everything goes well at the doctor's office... and hope you're just having a lazy spell (I have them ALL the time..hehe) and not something serious. Take all the time you need... don't overdo. We will be here waiting for you and your wonderful posts. |
Bcandscott | Saturday, November 29, 2003 - 07:42 am     I'm trying like the dickens to get this caught up. I had a sick dog and have been slightly crazy. I am fine, dog is recovering I think and I'm going to catch this up or know the reason why! Orange Thief There used to be 6 oranges, but now there are 4. Christa says she remembers there being 5. Ryan thinks Christa is looking at him. He's ticked. They split the remaining oranges. Christa admits wishing she had been PART of stealing the orange, but this time, it wasn't her. Rupert mentions he didn't get any grapes, now he's about to miss out on oranges. I can't help but remember past survivors where an orange would have been like a ball of gold sent down from heaven. These guys are all eating pretty well at this point, but if I had to point a finger...the Morganites who merged in look a wee bit hungrier. Immunity Challenge: Mixed Nuts This does NOT refer to the deterioration of the undershorts everyone is running around in. This is the challenge as seen on TV. Everyone was led to believe that the tribe was ready to dump Rupert. Pieces of eight? Darrah and Ryan are wrong. Everyone lays their coconuts on RyanO Keekhauling? RyanO is done. Darrah gives Christa a coconut and Sandra gets Darrah back for Christa. Rupert, NO COCONUTS. Morgan ransacked panama? Burton, Darrah and Ti gets coconuts and Darrah is out. Panama a peninsula? Lil makes stupid remarks about breakfast. Duh. Cat o Nine Tails? They are all acting very friendly with one another. Lil still whining about breakfast nails Burton. Rupert NO COCONUTS. Barnacle? no cocnuts for Rupert Buccaneer, Privateer? Sandra finally gives Rupert a coconut. Sandra flips Jon off. Cutlass? Jon and Sandra are out. It's down to Rupert and Christa. Pirates Chest contents? Rupert gets it right and puts a coconut in Christa's holder and RUPERT wins immunity. Hmmmm, thought they wanted to get Rupert out. Something tells me you can't trust the editors! Reward Challenge: Signal Fire This was just like it was on TV. While recent developments regarding Lil and some of her actions toward the young men on the game make me a little queasy about a challenge where she's trying to "light a fire", the game begins. The reward is breakfast. Probst gives them a sweet roll to tempt them. This is pretty amusing watching Jon try to use a sling shot. I regret he is out of the challenge after two shots because his technique was entertaining, sort of like watching a chicken shooting a slingshot with it's feet. Then the next group is up and Christa is also really bad....and I think a little dangerous. Lil keeps thanking the lord for good hits. Rupert wins this. One has to wonder how things might have been different if he'd kept this reward and had taken someone else with him. He gives the breakfast to Burton who takes Lil with him. IF Rupert had taken Lil or Burton with HIM, might he have made a more solid alliance. Better yet, if he'd taken JON and pushed him out of the boat.....but well, that would be wrong...and I digress. Voting Booth Sandra votes RyanO. Sandra is NICE voting him off saying he's just too strong and a huge competitor. Rupert votes RyanO. He says he would have traded Ryan for a bunch of his guys. I think he means Jon. Hah. Christa votes RyanO. She says, you are the rudest most disrespectful man I have ever met. You're SO negative. Ryan votes Krista. He says she is a b*tch. Didn't like her before, doesn't like her now. Darrah votes RyanO. She thanks him for being respectful of her having a boyfriend and thanks him for being a good friend. Jon votes RyanO like everyone else and still manages to be stupid about it, writing Gore Gore Gore on the vote. Ti votes RyanO. She says he betrayed her and he is sending the vote with a big smile and he made her laugh and on a personal level is an ok guy. Conflicted much? Burton votes RyanO. Purely a strategic vote. He says he wishes Ryan could be there longer than some of the idiots he is stuck with. Lil votes RyanO. She says he was kinder and more caring in the last few days and she is going to miss him. She looks very sad, but then she always looks very sad. Ryan is Back Ryan discusses starving. He says it's tough to share food because he needs more protein. He says a LITTLE bit of protein did make him feel better though and now he is back. The merge really saved him. He needed food. He comments that the sandbag weight challenge, he and Andrew won that on sheer will because they had no food, even though the other tribe at that time had plenty of protein to eat. He says he won't look at it as this group had protein and this group did not. Which is pretty much what he just spent two minutes telling us. Without fail the men from the Morgan tribe have whined about protein and how they were more deprived, from "our lagoon wasn't the most FISHY lagoon, they had more over on the other lagoon" to blaming each other for not fishing enough while not fishing themselves. The fact is, whether one is a good fisherman or not, they needed to get off their butts and FISH. Ryan says that Ti didn't seem affected by not having protein, Darrah did pretty well, but the MEN had problems. Hmmmmm. Tree Mail: Reward Challenge When the morning light is breaking and you drag yourself from bed, would you rather have a four course meal or rice and an old fishhead, so just pass the torch and raise the flame cause a steady aim is the name of the game. Jon is excited about dessert. Sandra says everyone's stomach is full, they don't need food today. Hmm, these survivors are getting a tad spoiled, methinks. Tree Mail: Immunity Challenge Burton and Rupert retrieve the mail saying to one another that THEY must win the challenge and continue to win all of them. NOTE: while mail is read, Ryan is playing with Darrah's hair. Ryan was hoping for a strength challenge but it's going to be a mental challenge, so he's bummed. Yeah, and he's gone too, but he just doesn't know it yet. The Day After Eight minutes of Ryan explaining his experiences from the day they hopped off the boat until his eviction. He didn't mind being thrown off the boat. He said he jumped off the boat on pure excitement. He says he wasted a lot of energy running around not being able to speak Spanish or communicate. He says he learned a lot about himself, he learned how tough he really was, that he could really do it. He says the other camp referred to Morgan as the diet camp because they had no food. But he says because he and Andrew and Osten pulled together they were doing pretty good...wait, did he say OSTEN???? Ok, he's still hungry, that can cause delusions. Ryan says he was stunned at being voted out. He says he got voted out because he was a threat. Everyone loved him but he was a threat. It's a compliment and Jeff made the issue the other day that he got nailed out really quick in the immunity challenge. He says Jeff said he was put out so quickly because he was a threat and the others were afraid of him. MORE PROTEIN WHINES. He also mentions the handicap of his tribe having TWO people who couldn't swim. He says he's glad he got to day 24 but it just wasn't good enough. He says that Rupert taught him a lot about how to deal with people. He says Rupert would get angry but for the most part he talked to everyone gently and really knew how to get the most out of people. (Hmmm, didn't some people say Rupert was a "bully?" Ryan seems to disagree with that assessment.) The experience was the "best time of his life"...the hardest and the best. He says that after this, you have to think about how important people are to you and you have to quit taking things for granted. He says he is a different person. He is going to go home and not be such a jerk, and self-centered. He is going to "look around and smell the roses." |
Bcandscott | Saturday, November 29, 2003 - 08:27 am     I'm on a roll now...hah. Immunity Challenge: Killer It's the blowdart game. Considering the hot air requirements for this, I think it's heavily weighted in Jon's favor. Hah. The women aren't making the target...including Jon. Rupert nails it as does Burton. When Rupert takes his last hit, Jon smirks. It wouldn't have been good to hand me a blow gun at that moment or I would have run Jon off that beach with those darts. Watching the demeanor at this challenge, I notice something. In every other immunity challenge I've watched like this, they were pretty light hearted. Oh here's your coconut, etc. Haha, oh well, I still love you. That sort of thing. In this challenge, these are NOT friendly people. Everyone has a look on their face that says something and except for JON and his ever present SMIRK, it's not a NICE something. Game is getting nasty. Voting Booth Cam OK, you guys KNOW I'm biased and this is breaking my heart here.... Christa votes Darrah. It's time for you to go, you're not part of our Drake tribe and you're the next one. Tijuana votes Rupert. First of all because you are a threat and we don't have a fair shot. Your friends Christa and Sandra have been too confident thinking they have it in the bag. Burton votes Rupert. Our island is not big enough for the two of us and I don't have any plans to go anywhere anytime soon. Sandra votes Jon. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you and I know you have it out for me but before I go home, you're going home. (I think she hates him.) Rupert votes Darrah. Jon votes Rupert. To be the man, you gotta be the man. Whoooo. (I think I agree with Sandra.) Darrah votes Rupert. I'm voting for you because there is no longer a Drake alliance. There is a new alliance and I know you're going to be shocked by it. Lil votes Rupert. I love you dearly. You're the nicest guy around, but in order forme to stay in this game I have to get rid of the biggest threats. Reward Challenge: Rats in the Rigging Just like on TV. They built a pretty elaborate set for this thing. They are playing for deep sea fishing on the neato catamaran (sp?). Beer and pizza. Hmmmmm. Interestingly, Christa and Burton are almost evenly matched in this thing. Lil is not very agile. Neither is Sandra. JON forgets to ring the bell. Someone smack him for me PLEASE...haha. OK, it's Rupert and Jon, vs. Burton and Lil. This whole thing comes down to working the puzzle. It would have been extremely easy for Jon to throw this thing if that is what he wanted to do. Burton and Lil win. The look on Jon's face at the end is hard to read...not sure if he's actually disappointed or not. Lil announces she wants to keep. Burton gives his to JON after promising Rupert that he would give ANYTHING he won to him earlier. Rupert: The Day After Sigh, I knew it was coming, still makes me sad. Rupert started the game in the heaviest jeans he owned. He was NOT dressed in his "game clothes". Of course they threw them overboard. He says the swim in wearing those heavy pants and thick boots almost killed him. He was exhausted. He said the team looked at him and thought, "oh no, we have a fat old man on our team." He says he and his wife had planned very very carefully what to wear as "game clothes" and they had bought quick dry things to make it better. After two days on the island, he was growing fungus IN HIS PANTS because his pants were still wet. He put his shirt on as almost a diaper because he had to lose the pants. Then Christa donated part of her dress. He actually BEGGED for a dress and he wore it for a week. After they made the dress, Burton, Shawn and Michelle laughed at him continually for two weeks. It was jock, cheerleader mentality. He says the second night he sat on a log and cried for his family because he didn't fit in. He has been in the psyche, mental health field, and he could read the people looking at him and thinking he was a loser. He felt lost and alone, with no friends. The one saving grace was the ocean and the animals. That was where he found his refuge from taunting and teasing as a child. Running away and finding animal friends was always his escape. This time he had to kill them, because he needed to eat, which really bothered him. The tribe threw away a lot of food. They would eat and throw away what was left over. He says he saw the stupidity of the tribe but couldn't do anything about it. Rupert didn't like tribal councils...he didn't like voting ANYONE out. He would NEVER have thrown a challenge. He said that was a big mistake. Going TO the TC in a leaky vessel they had to paddle through to go to an old gothic fort was intimidating. He never thought he was in jeopardy. He felt he was too important to the tribe because of the food situation. He just didn't like GOING to tribal council at all. When Jeff asked questions about the tribe, he would be brutally honest and he probaby shouldn't have been. He told them they were lazy and bickering and inadequate. It showed him the ugly side of people, the dishonest user side of people. He didn't like seeing that. Day 27, the seas were rough and there was a conspiracy to vote him out he didn't know about. He's cocky in TC saying he would fall out of his seat if he were voted out. He KNEW they had almost no food and he would be needed for food. He didn't think there was any way he would be voted out and then his name comes up...and again. He doesn't remember his torch going out only that that he said "I cannot believe it." Lil is Ashamed Lil has modified her scout uniform. She's wearing the buff now. She is crying about going on the reward challenge she won because she wanted pizza. She says Rupert sent her on breakfast and she shouldn't have gone. She should have sent Rupert on this and it's going to have a big impact on her position in the game. She always carried herself as a kind person and she just got a little selfish here. She is not going to enjoy this and it will cut at her heart for the next two or three days and people will call her a scumball, but she wants to be one or two in the game. With her going, all the people could turn on her. She's not a fishing person. Rupert should go and she wants Rupert to go. Rupert would catch fish, she can't. She'll be gone and it will be Lil bashing day among the seven people. Jon's attitude is a little wishy washy as it is (WHOA, bit understatement there, lil). She knows that Rupert would come home with fish, she wants him to go so badly. She doesn't want to make anybody mad, she doesn't want anyone upset or brought down. It was a selfish move, a very selfish move. Burton did the right thing by sending Jon, and he whispered in my ear to do the same but I'm not that good at the game. I got selfish and wanted to go. I don't go on vacations all the time, I can't afford to do these things. I saw a chance to go on a beautiful boat. Rupert and Christa said it's OK but I really really want to stay. I'm dead meat, I'm dead meat. No, Lil, you aren't dead meat. What you are is disingenuous. Throughout this whole diatribe it becomes clear to just about everyone that you don't really feel MEAN or evil because you chose to take the reward but since you try to make people believe you are good and kind, you are concerned this may have blown your cover. You are worried they will talk about you while you are gone. You think this has hurt your chances to win. You could care less whether Rupert "should" go or not, you just don't want anyone realizing you are as cutthroat as the rest of them. Christa Believes in her Plan Everything is still going as planned. Rupert and Sandra and Christa have a new order for the top six, assuming they are still tight. She believes they are strong. They plan to keep the whiney Lil. She is confident. She doesn't realize the perfidy of Jon. She wants Darrah and Ti out soon. They are not part of the 6 person alliance and most definitely they need to go before people bond with them (too late). Burton and Jon are both threats and need to go soon after. They would only take out Lil if Burton or Jon have immunity. She thinks she may have votes coming her way. She obviously saw no danger to Rupert. She says if it turns out to be her last day, she'd be OK. She thinks she can make top 4. |
Bcandscott | Saturday, November 29, 2003 - 09:15 am     A True Fish Story Apparently last night, the fish were thrown into the forest and Sandra and Christa were accused and Christa ended up taking the blame. She did NOT through any fish anywhere. She did NOT through the fish into the forest but Burton and Jon made up this story. It very well could have been Sandra, because Sandra snuck oranges or mangoes before, but she swears she didn't do it. Christa said she had about 30 seconds when she was out of the view of everyone because Jon and Sandra were arguing. Christa feels HORRIBLE for being blamed because she has no way to prove she didn't do it. Lil said that she didn't think she could trust Christa because she believes she threw the fish out, that she tried to sabotage the camp. Now nobody wants to talk to her. She can't PROVE she didn't do it. Tijuana the Day After Ti says that the two most memorable things for her was being tossed off the boat in the beginning (she didn't swim well and had only jumped off a diving board twice in her life) and the time in the challenge diving for pieces. She was proud to have accomplished that when it was something she didn't think she would ever be able to do. She says the game tests your willpower and strength. There are tests everyday, and not just the challenges. It was a fulfilling experience. Some days were hard, but even up to being "shockingly" voted out, she could have gone on. She wants this experience to make her better as a person. She is anxious to see it all on TV. She would do it again of course, and she would love the opportunity to learn more (is she pitching for Allstars here?). The day she was voted off, she was on her high horse. She had tried to be as honest as possible and on that last day she didn't play the same honest game she had and she thought she could control things and it was a good reality check, it came back and bit her. She wasn't paying attention and if she HAD payed attention, she might have lasted longer in the game. She probably tried to control things too much. She says she had some sort of relationship with everyone, sometimes good, sometimes bad. She says she took Jon's word because he sounded like he had valid points, but she knows she was very naive. Her relationship with Jon was not a "good" move. She says she made some friends and regardless of how the game was played, there are no hard feelings. In the end they were all people trying to win...and how they played was how they played. She respects that and the game, including people who hurt her and helped her. What Tijuana Learned She learned a lot. She learned what she was willing to do where people are concerned, about her ability to deal with mental and physical challenges. She said the game was difficult because you reached a point where you were willing to do things you would NOT normally do with regard to people but in the game you began to comtemplate those thing. She thinks her taking a leadership role cost her the game. She was a messenger and she took that risk and it nipped her in the bud. The rain, the wind, the cold nights and having to do challenges. People's reactions to you and the way people you think care about you may NOT care about you. She is surprised that she continued to have a more or less positive attitude. She knows there were times she was hard to get along with, but she's proud of surviving as long as she did. All the dynamics of life experiences are compressed into the game along with trying to deal with the elements. You can't get away from it because even if you walk down the beach and are gone too long, people will talk about you while you are gone. She wants to do more things with family. It's hard for her to trust people after this. She was normally very trusting, but this was a reality check. It was a game, but still they are people. Ti talks ninety miles an hour and says the same things OVER and OVER and OVER. I'm exhausted just listening to her! Voting Booth Cam Sandra votes Ti. (NO, vote burton sandra...eeeee) You came to our tribe and tried to take over. You tried to delegate what we are going to do, when we were going to do it and I'm sick and tired of you. By the way happy birthday, goodbye, adios. Darrah votes Burton. Burton you are the biggest threat we have right now. Thanks for the fish and thanks for everything. Christa votes Ti. (I'm screaming why why why.) You are very rude, disrespectful, you like to order people around and I just don't want you around anymore. Ti votes Burton. Not because you're not a good person, we appreciate all you've done. It is merely because you are the strongest player mentally and physically and I heard you talking to Jon and you contradicted our alliance. I hope when this is all over, we'll be friends. Lil votes Ti. (she's got her uniform back on, whew) It's a little bit of payback time. You broke our alliance and got rid of me 4 weeks ago and now you want to get rid of our main food source, Burton. I'm here to protect Burton and it's time for you to go. Burton votes Ti. I know it's your birthday tomorrow. One of us won't be here to see it. Never assume you are in complete control of a situation unless you are 100% assured. Jon votes Ti. He spouts some gibberish I can't hear and slinks back to his seat. Reward Challenge: Loved Ones Overboard Does anyone but me think they should have figured out some way to drag Jon's grandma out there and threaten to run her off the plank saying they wanted her to have a "burial at sea" while Jon explains his BS???? Jon says he wants to send Sandra and Christa off the plank. The loved one thing always makes me cry. I note Lil does NOT kiss hubby with as much verve as she has bestowed on some of the Survivor guys lately. Geez. The grandma thing. You know, it's SO wrong. But the thing that pushed it completely over the top was his nasty thing about "I MUST NOW WIN". It sucks on so many levels. This was JUST completely wrong. Knowing that these people want so much to spend times with their loved ones.....and watching that guy screw them out of that chance is just evil. I take a certain amount of satisfaction in knowing that Mr. Fairplay will always be in danger of someone who REALLY loved and lost a grandma will beat the snot out of him. I also think Lil needs a heavy dose of reality. She is WAY too gullible about everything. Ick. Burton says it's the worst day of Jon's life, so he should get his friend. I think the worst day of Jon's life will be when these people realize that Jon took them for a ride. If you want to talk brutal....it SHOULD be brutal. Immunity Challenge: What do you make of this? As an avid player of the game TEXTTWIST, this game would have been right up my alley. I once ran a score of over 3 million points...haha. So, this was interesting to me. I couldda been a contendah! Hah. Also notable is that, as is often the case, the immunity challenges have become more mental. Until that last one, usually an endurance thing. "Liaison." Probst blows the call and accepts "Liason." How does he figure out he blew it. Oh well, here we go again. Immunity is back up for grabs. Sandra, Darrah and Lil have to do a new game. Time trial. They all agree it's fair. Darrah wins. Burton looks a little glum. Burton could have been sent home this week, but with the help of the mourning Jon, he managed to squeak by, sending Ti on over to loser lodge. And I am CAUGHT UP with the clips...whew. Have a good week, y'all. |
Pamy | Saturday, November 29, 2003 - 11:32 am     Thanks BC, another great job!!! |
Teachmichigan | Sunday, November 30, 2003 - 09:15 am     Thanks BC! Your summaries are awesome! I have the Insider clips, too, but I'm actually considering canceling them. This week (as well as the past couple) there have only been 2 or 3 that weren't seen on the show. With your wonderful recaps, I'm not sure it's worth the monthly fee!! |
Lorry | Sunday, November 30, 2003 - 10:49 am     BC you rock!!! Thanks so much for adding to the excitement of this season's Survivor. Hope the doggy is feeling ok. My little boy (dog) has been doing nothing but lying around after eating his Thanksgiving dinner. rofl. |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, November 30, 2003 - 11:10 am     Great job BC!! These are great to read. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to post these. |
Bcandscott | Sunday, November 30, 2003 - 01:39 pm     Lorry, I think my doggie had a bad reaction to a new vaccine the vet used this year. She's still on medication for it, but thankfully there isn't any long term extensive liver damage. It was horrible and EXPENSIVE right at the holidays too! but we're OK and she is OK and well, I'll survive. I'm just tired of medicating HER four times a day and the CAT twice a day and I got behind doing the clips fighting the holiday blues! I am glad I have had the extra clips, Teachmichigan, because I really do think I got a better feel for some of the people (especially the vote cam) and where they were headed. Some of the clips make me a little sad because I can go back and look at them and realize where things started to go wrong for some of my faves, like Rupert. It was easier to make fun of them at first, because there were more of them and because there was a lot more goofy interaction with more people out there, but I figure I started this and I'll get it done. I have a hard time now deciding who I want to win....I have a feeling the couple of people I still like are doomed. I HATE when that happens but it happens every year. I sometimes think I jinx them by liking them! Please, anyone else with the clips, feel free to post corrections or alternate opinions. These things I do are just one gal's thoughts on the subject! |
Caycaye | Monday, December 01, 2003 - 12:41 am     No...Bcandscott...I agree with all of your interpretations of the clips....especially Lil's diatribe on feeling so "guilty" for taking the fishing trip...Lil goes on and on ad nauseaum...I could hardly listen to her whining any more...pitiful little Lil. I used to like Lil, but after listening to her go on and on about how she is DEAD MEAT now for being so selfish...etc....I realize what you say is true...she REALLY isn't sorry, she just wants everyone to THINK she is....Disgusting.... |
Stilllurking | Monday, December 01, 2003 - 06:25 am     BC, Thank you so much for all the work you've done on the recaps. Your sense of the players motives are right on and witty to boot. Reading your ReCaps has been one of the things that has made this Survivor, the best, IMHO. I think back to previous years and wonder about the great laughs we all would have enjoyed had they had the Insider and you were doing your Recaps! Heck, Survivor Africa might have even been amusing! Glad your dog is doing better! |
Bcandscott | Monday, December 01, 2003 - 11:46 am     Well, now, Survivor Africa had it's moments. The BOIL. The stolen beans. The....well, OK, there wasn't A LOT going on there...you know why though...NO WATER. They need this to be on an ISLAND or near a river. Obviously. Hah. |
