Gen | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 09:28 am     Hey BC, I am enjoying your clips. Keep it up! Weekends are a little slow on the board - just wait until the weekdays and you will hear from the rest of the population. Good work! |
Scarlet | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 10:40 am     Bored with this stuff? NEVER! THANKS! |
Pamy | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 11:25 am     BC... you are doing such a great job I think everyone is just sitting back and enjoying your take on things. PLEASE keep them comming!! Sorry I didn't comment on your latest work yet. I enjoy them so much that I savor them! I print them out and read them on break at work. When I get stressed at my desk, I grab my printouts of your summaries, go outside and read for 10 min. It is the best thearapy!! So, I am looking forward to tomarrow when I can read them! Now, I look forward to someone pissing me off at work, gives me an excuse to grab your summaries and head outside! lol thanks! |
Lorry | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 12:54 pm     Oh my BC.... You are just the best. You simply do not understand how much these add to the show. Without your reports, we'd have to depend on how MB edits...lol and you know how that would suck. You are doing a wonderful job... and a job it is. Don't think for one second we don't appreciate the work, or the time it takes. We sure do appreciate you. Thanks so much!!! |
Konamouse | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 01:28 pm     BC, please do not stop - this is a great service you are providing to those of us who cannot access the clips (and wonderful entertainment for when some are at work - on a break of course). Thank you! 'squeek' |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 01:34 pm     Bc--please keep going!! I was going to wait till you finished with the audition clips to comment on your efforts (I didn't want to interrupt your great work!!) You made me laugh more than once! |
Bcandscott | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 01:54 pm     Hey guys, I wasn't begging for comments on MY posts, seriously. That hoping for comments comment was about about some other people with clips giving THEIR take on them. I like to know what other people are thinking too! I even enjoy when people disagree with me as long as they are cheerful about it! Anyway, more audition stuff is coming. |
Whoami | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 04:26 pm     I've also just been kicking back in my chair and enjoying your posts BC. Don't stop! Keep it coming! |
Bcandscott | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 06:52 pm     Audition: Christa Hastie Christa wants to be on Survivor because she likes money. She says she is a logical person. Sometimes she has weird dreams about infinite loops. She dreams about code that is going to crash the server. She goes to the gym at 7 am, and she KICK BOXES. "Ya want a piece of me?" She likes to go 4 x 4ing in her truck. She's a rough and tumble gal. And you thought RUPERT was scary. Hah. Audition: Trish Dunn Annapolis Md, sales exec. Getting ready to go for a 20 mile run. She should be picked for survivor because she is a great sales person. She's ALL about the money. She is a born leader, loves to take control, natural problem solver, gets along great with people (well, uh, there was Michelle that didn't like you ...and Rupert got a little upset with you, and well...) and she plays to win. She wants the money. Her first motivation, the money. Her second motivation, the money. She's seen every survivor and there is NO challenge she can't do, no person she can't handle. (Uh..well) She's focused and self confident, can run 20 miles in a snow storm with bleeding feet with blisters. She says CUT THAT CHECK RIGHT NOW. Ya know what, she's so self confident, I can't stand it. Audition: Rupert Boneham We get to see Rupert showing his daughter a turtle. The family was playing in the swamp. He's 39. He was in a Survivor game at the state fair. He picked the wrong person to stay with him in the final two and lost the vote. There he is in the swamp again. I think he just caught...yes...HE did just catch an ALLIGATOR. But it's a little one and he lets his daughter pet it. It's a little guy, but he is very patient with it and his daughter is thrilled. They release it to go back to his family. Just like Croc Hunter. Crikey, what a beauty. I still like him, can't help it. He's a big old wooly guy with rough edges and a temper. He could be a relative. |
Bcandscott | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 07:18 pm     Finally, all caught up and ALL the audition clips that are available ARE DONE. WOO HOO! Can't wait till next show...I'll be in withdrawal. Audition: Nicole Delma 24 year old massage therapist from Hermosa Beach, CA. She left corporate America to move to the beach and become a full time massage therapist. She won a half marathon, plays to win. Flirtatious, a little boy crazy. She will use that to her advantage. No problem getting naked. Lives have her life in a swimsuit and has NO problems with her body. Well, Nicole, neither did Osten...he didn't mind getting naked and had no problems with his body, but he flaked out. You got voted out almost immediately. Interesting...the nudity factor. Is there some right wing conspiracy to make the people who are likely to be NUDE unpopular or evicted early on survivor...Only time will tell. Audition: Jon Dalton He's an art consultant? He thinks there will be lovely girlies running around. He has LOTS of girlies in his life. He has been studying for Survivor. He also might do puppet shows. But there will be GIRLS and that will be great. But then there's the million dollars and with that he can have all the girls in the world (Uh, not this one, Jon). Johnny Fairplay, (and this is a quote folks) "Five foot eight, one hundred and thirty five pounds and ten pounds of dangling fury. No worries, I'm gonna win Survivor." He's been running up and down the beaches, hills and valleys working on his physique because he is going to win Survivor. Why is Jon Dalton going to win Survivor. He went to Virginia Tech and before that he was Sr. Class president because he was smart. He knows how to party and that just sounds great. And did he mention the girls. It's not a fashion show or a popularity contest, he doesn't thing it's even the toughest guy, it's the guy that plays the game the best...and he is going to win it. Uh, about that dangling fury, he wasn't talking about what I think the was talking about was he? A booger? Audition: Shawn Cohen I'm spontaneous. In college he was a high roller. You don't think of people getting the four star treatment in Vegas, but he was picked up in limos and comped great suites, all from 200 dollars the first time he went to vegas. He played blackjack, won 98,000 dollars once, 106,000 once, 46,000 once, and he graduated college as well. He had FUN with the money. I have a serious question for Shawn. If, counting cards or whatever it is you do would allow you to go to Las Vegas, sit at a blackjack table where girls in really short cute skirts would bring you free drinks, and you could sleep in a huge suite with satin sheets, and in about 15 trips you could WIN a million dollars without having to starve, without getting eaten alive by bugs and crabs, without having to go filthy and smelly without a shower for 39 days, what exactly is your reason for wanting to be on Survivor??????? Are you NUTS???? Geez, and I thought Jon was goofy. |
Caycaye | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 09:37 pm     Hey BC!!!!! Keep up the great posting and comments!! VERY enjoyable....just one comment to you , by way of an explanation... Here...way down South (below New Orleans) most of our hunters, ala Darrah in southern Mississippi, wear camouflage. They only wear bright orange when hunting dear or boar, etc. Most of our hunting is "shooting up"...i.e. duck hunting....if you are not camouflaged and in a duck-blind made out of native reeds and thatch...no self-respecting duck will come anywhere near you! LOL...just letting you know,,,LOL |
Bcandscott | Monday, November 03, 2003 - 06:03 am     Caycaye, OK, I understand that, I guess. My experience with hunting is limited. I've never hunted anything except my sweetie and that was more of a running tackle than a shooting kind of thing, hahaha. However, my friends who hunt in Ohio are usually hunting deer and they wear bright colors. My sister is familiar with hunters in Arkansas where the statistics show that one of the major causes of paralysis is getting drunk and falling out of your blind. She also tells the tale of a group of guys who formed a circle to flush out some deer they were stalking. They slowly closed in, the circle getting smaller and smaller until they came out into a field, the deer standing in the middle, the hunters standing in a ring around them. They opened fire. Nobody was killed but at least four people got shot by someone across the circle from them. Argh. Every place has it's unique qualities, eh? |
Puzzled | Monday, November 03, 2003 - 08:12 pm     LOL, BC--that kind of idiocy happens around here all the time. Them's of us who were brought up in the boondocks were always lectured--don't shoot at anything until you see it! Guess these boobs didn't get Lesson 2--and make sure that no one else is in your line of sight. |
Pamy | Monday, November 03, 2003 - 09:05 pm     Great stuff BC!!! You really have a knack for this!!! Thanks!! I am curious what your screen name means, everytime I see it I think of Bandicoot from that Playstation game, so I am picturing this little cartoon guy writing these! lol |
Bcandscott | Tuesday, November 04, 2003 - 06:13 am     Hahah, bandicoots are cute little Australian critters, I think. (I'm a Croc Hunter fan.) My name however consists of my initials, BC and Scott (Scott being my sweetie.) He watches Survivor with me and likes to analyse the strategy as if they are all playing a role playing game. He's pretty good at predicting stuff that way. |
Surfgirl | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 10:56 pm     Hey Bcandscott...I just love your post..this last month, well .. its the first time I ever attempted to post.. I admire you because it takes a lot of guts.. can be a intimidating ordeal, and you just do a really awesome job. I relate to the armchair hubby commentator, have one on my shoulder also..(thank god) just dont tell him that lol ;0 Keep up the great post you are awesome!! |
Enigma2 | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 12:00 am     Bcandscott: I finally got to read all of your posts. Thanks for a great effort. |
Pamy | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 01:00 pm     Can't wait for this weeks BC summary! |
Lorry | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 03:50 pm     BC.... Lorry waving to BC and to Scott... I'm here with my tongue out, waited with baited breath. (I have no idea what any of that means) Can't wait to read more of your clever take on life on the islands. |
Bcandscott | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 08:30 pm     Christa's Wedding As an aside, I LOVE the scenery and the music they use leading into these clips. I'd buy the album. Hah. Apparently Christa postponed her real life wedding to Peter to be on Survivor and the day of her wedding arrived. Sandra points out that she would be somewhere getting her hair done today or on her way in the limo to the church. Christa says she put a lot into planning her wedding and it sucks to be missing the big day. Rupert says that Christa is a really sweet girl and he wants her to have the best day possible. Sandra explains they are fixing food, including opening a can of pineapple and making "popcorn" out of coconut. They also have fish, rice and cans of CORN. Now, I have to comment at this point that these people are amazing shoppers. Seriously, this is like day 19 or something like that, and they still have rations from their original trip to the town with their "balboas" to spend. Whether what they are eating now is a few balboas worth of food (or a few fancy dress shoes worth), the fact remains, they still have PINEAPPLE. They have PINEAPPLE and coconut and at one point had booze! Dang, they could have been doing pina coladas, while caught in the rain. They don't need junk food, but they deserve some champagne. Heh. Any way you look at it, what it boils down to is this. With a few balboas and a few stolen dress shoes, one group of people can manage a feast while another group of people, for the same number of balboas and someones clothes minus their droopy shorts will starve. Did Drake have COUPONS? Was it double coupon day in the village. You know, God likes the Drakes best. First off, he gives them Rupert who manages to catch about 20 pounds of fish a day and THEN, as if that wasn't good enough, he gave them a lemon tree so they could pretend they were at Red Lobster. Sorry, I digress. Rupert has carved a GROOM for a mock wedding. Well, actually he carved it for a symbolic wedding and then Jon got involved and Lord knows, he could make a mockery out of anything. Anyway, they have a carved groom, Sandra is the maid of honor, Rupert gives the bride away and Burton is best man. Jon is the minister and sings the wedding march. Everyone is smiling. Burton thought this would be corny but it was actually really cool. Christa held the rope arms of her groom throughout the wedding. Jon says (to the wooden groom) "Do you take Christa to be your lovely bride, to provide her with kindling and other woodly possessions?" This was cute. Then he zeroed in on the groom's name and became rude. But this is Jon we're talking about. Could we have expected anything else? Rupert wasn't particularly thrilled. Neither was Sandra. Everyone had a great time and Christa cried. She says it was fabulous to have someone show her love when she needed it most. Rupert says it meant something to her, it meant something to him. He loved having that wedding there. Andrew's Thoughts Boy does Andrew have a lot of thoughts. I suppose though, in some ways, this is Andrew's closing argument in a trial he just lost. He really went through a lot and he's proud that he proved to himself that he could take it, both mentally and physically. It's comforting to know that he could do it. Surprisingly the lack of food didn't bother him that much. In the real world if you get a little hunger pang, you go eat a Snicker's Bar or something but on Survivor, that doesn't happen. UNLESS of course you are on Drake. Andrew says it didn't bother him that much. I don't know who that Andrew look alike was that complained about not having food all the time was in those other clips and on the show, but Andrew wasn't bothered. But wait, he says the lack of food wasn't so bad but the resulting lack of energy was a problem because it took so much more effort to do things. Being part of Survivor was like being part of a group of close friends who plane crashed on an island. You can't compare it to a rugby team. (A RUGBY TEAM?) He says in real life you get curve balls and on Survivor every day you got curve balls, and with very little food and very little water. (Oh, Andrew, you HAD water, you just had to go get it and boil it.) The reason Andrew was voted out, according to him, was because LIL took being voted out personally. They chose to boot Lil instead of Darrah because Darrah was stronger in the water. If he had to do over, he would have tried to make her feel more like a part of the tribe...no, wait, he wouldn't do that either....she was going to do what she was going to do and nothing he could have done would have hidden the fact that he was tight with Ti, RyanO and Darrah. Gee, Andrew...think you might want to hide your obvious disgust with the gal just a tad...after all, SHE is still in the game. He thinks that back when they had energy, they SHOULD have built traps or something to catch fish. Obviously that sling thing didn't work (Uh, Andrew, that was a SPEAR) and if they had figured out a way to have fish, they would have been a lot better off. You can't compare what Drake went through on Survivor with what Morgan had to endure. It was like apples and oranges....actually MORGAN went through hell while Drake was on Fantasy Island and those Drakes complained about running out of LENTILS!!!!! Well, gee Andrew, MAYBE the reason Drake had it so EASY was because they PLAYED better. First of all, they used the balboas and the dress shoes your tribe left unguarded to buy food....LOTS of food and supplies. They didn't run off to the boat with part of their money still jingling in their pockets. They also WORKED and Rupert FISHED and they didn't sit and whine all day. They didn't keep someone on their tribe that was obviously not interested in doing anything but POSING to show off his muscles. YOU accepted leadership and then you threw the only people who really WANTED to be there to PLAY THE GAME off your tribe. I know, I know, God gave the Drake's that lemon tree. Did YOUR island have a lemon tree? Did you look? Just wondered. He is soooo proud of Morgan. They won THREE challenges!!! He couldn't be prouder of what they accomplished. WHEEE. Andrew Finally Eats Or is that Andrew bites? Anyway. After the merge, there was a feast at the Drake camp. Bread, cheese, meat, nuts. It was magical, like a dream. Food never tasted so good. He didn't even need dessert! Wow. The very bestest part was warm bread, cheese and a little sip of wine. It blew him away. Then he ate a little piece of bread with red grapes. And a little chocolate. And a little red wine. (Starting to sound a little obsessive here, dude. You're starting to sound like a Bertrice Small romance novel here.) Those bites of food made him feel human again. He thinks now he may actually make it out of this place. Uh, Andrew, everyone always survives...really. Nobody has died yet. Fishing wasn't possible on Morgan. They lost their hooks. Trolling didn't work. The spear was supposed to be RyanO's job because Andrew didn't feel good about swimming without flippers. (Well, la di dah.) Dragnet didn't work. He knows it sound like excuses but those are the reasons why. Dang, I can't make this any funnier. This dude sits there in an ARMANI suit and says, I lost about 20 pounds because the other guy couldn't fish and I didn't want to swim near the shore without flippers. Amazing. A Stormy Discussion This clip is astonishing if for no other reason than there is a lot of footage of this incredible lightning and thunder. This sort of storm around where I live would have the weather team cutting into regular programming about every four minutes to tell you that your electricity was about to go out. Wow. Unbelievable, it's like the bombing at the end of Apocalypse Now. Andrew and Ti are in their raincoats. Why didn't they take those raincoats, or some of them and make their roof more watertight, I wonder. Torrential rain for 6 or 7 hours. They just got back from tribal council and it started. Their shelter is full of water. Ti is talking about Osten. When he first said he wanted to go she was shocked, she just couldn't understand, but when he said THIS time he wanted to go, then it was time to let him go. As a tribe member, Ti would rather have a stronger person mentally by her side. She's sitting next to Andrew. I'm not sure she is getting her wish. Andrew says that Osten was an incredible hulk of a man who lacked the mental attitude to keep going. (Oddly, most of us saw a pretty boy in droopy drawers.) Ti says even the worst days, she can look out at the ocean and think about how beautiful it is there and she is glad to be there. Andrew is baffled by Osten, sees him as stripped of his dignity. Andrew is talking about who might come back. He is angry about it because he says "they fought so hard to get rid of those six of those misfits" and now one of them will be back. Ti says she expects Burton to come back, but she can't imagine Lil will be back... Heh. A Paranoid Tribe Are you really paranoid if everyone really IS out to get you? Hah. Ti walks over and sits down with a sour faces Lil. Andrew sees Ti and Lil talking and his sense is that something is going on. Now he doesn't trust Lil. With the exit of Osten, she may have something else in mind. She might be rallying the troops against him. So HE goes to Darrah and RyanO and makes a special alliance with THEM. He keeps saying OVER and OVER. "Nobody is taking over this tribe. Nobody is taking over this tribe." Possessive much, Andrew???? Ti notices that Andrew is talking to Darrah and RyanO. UH OH, she has a feeling they are "one" now. She knows that she would be the fourth man out. So, are you really paranoid if everyone really IS out to get you? Probably, but you know, Andrew should have let somebody who really knew what they were doing take over the tribe. |
Caycaye | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 08:42 pm     Bcandscott... Jon says..."Dearly beloved....we are here for a mock ceremony to join in marriage Christa and Peter....Marriage is a "SACRED" event...which reminds me of "MACARONI & CHEESE" which I consider SACRED"... What a GOOF!!! |
Grannyg | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 07:33 am     Bcandscott, great job!! You are just to wonderful to do this. I love your commentaries. So Ti thought the other 3 were tight and she went with Lil? So does that put Ti and Lil with the Drakes? How many votes did Jon get? Andrew, Darrah, and Ryan O must have voted for Jon. Was there more votes for him? |
Caycaye | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 08:01 am     Tijuana voted to oust Jon...not Andrew...even though she was starting to mistrust Andrew.... |
Lorry | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 08:48 am     I really do think the lack of food affected the Morgan's thinking. I'm not sticking up for them, or making excuses... sort of.. not really, but they can't ALL be so inept at this game. It had to be something in the water... hahahahaha Or perhaps it was something or someone NOT in the water enough... hahahahaha |
Lorry | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 08:51 am     Duh.... I MUST BE A MORGAN... hahaha I forgot the main reason I wanted to post to this thread.. to just plain say thank you to BC for the incredible job she's doing. The wedding sounds awesome... Jon of course is Jon and I expected him to make a fool of himself. You rock BC. |
