Geeze, Osten was soooo contrary while Rupert was there. He seemed to not care even though they won their first IC. And he even argued against moving the shelter while they had Rupert to help.

I know Morgan needs him, or feels they really need him, but he's a moral killer for sure.

Do you think they really are that afraid of booting him???

<Lorry, you are asking some good questions tonight. Since I am a west coaster, I usually seemed to be here while everyone else is asleep.?.>

For your Osten query, I was thinking just simple jealously or scepticism. Osten is Morgan's BMOC (big man on campus [or coast, hehheh]. So he didn't like getting displaced by the omniscient, big man Rup.

I think Andrew has hitched his train to the big man: Osten. And O is tied to Tij's apron strings. They are solid and have other bootees first.

<is that enough cliches for you? hehehe. just having fun here by my lonesome>

I want to like Osten but he is giving me nothing to work with! well, except that hot bod...I am hoping it is bad editing and he will step up soon. Even Rupert talked about him not doing anything.

Osten's body is only that. I would REALLY like to see some brains to go with it, or maybe some bravery, or maybe some survival skills, or good social skills. He is on a par with all the women from previous shows who had cantaloupe implants up front and not much else.
I agree, Pamy, I'm looking for something to work with here. Not finding it, though.

I also assumed that I would like Osten, that he would be a nice addition to the cast. But he has got to be one of the most useless survivors in the history of the show. I DO HAVE TO ADMIT, he did fine in the food comp tonight. I totally expected him, based on his prior performances, to choke (lol) and totally blow the food thingy.

He didn't, but I still think he cannot stand up to most pressures. I think he is spoiled and cowardly.

I was kind of surprised at his "condemned man" attitude. As if he were a prisoner and is there against his will.

Or else that's his strategy... to only put any effort forth when he absolutely has to. Take them all by surprise by winning all the immunities when he is sure they are booting him.

As it was said above, "he is giving me nothing to work with", I still can't come up with any sympathy or warmth for the guy. If he's not faking, I think the producers should step in and have him checked out by the "shrink". He looks to be in bad shape this episode... mentally.

Awwwwwwww, IMHO Osten went into this relying on his physical attributes.
It would be interesting to know his background. My guess? Osten is used to being the centre of attention. People making sure nothing he attempted would become too difficult for him, and if it did there was always someone ready to help out or even do it for him.
On that island he suddenly finds himself no longer the "rooster" in the yard, and that realisation has completely deflated him.
So rather than swallow his ego, he pouts and behaves like a spoilt brat that received a wooden push-toy and not the battery-operated remote control kind he asked Santa for.
Unfortunately for Osten's comfort his tribe mates are not prepared to pick up the slack. Hey, they are not even willing to improve their own comfort if it involves some elbow grease.

Now watch that editor completely manipulate my opinion and Osten turn out to be a stand-up guy after all. Wouldn't be the first time for me, but in this case I won't be holding my breath.

I'm still holding out that he is doing this lame pretty boy act for a reason. He wants to keep his fellow tribemates disarmed. He's got Tijuana and Andrew as solid allies for the most part.

Then again he could just be a jerk.

Surfgirl, you've done it again. I'm in love with your mind...

Osten is seriously freaking me out...lol That bit with the machete, and the pelican....the look on his face... ewwwww he seemed like he was going over the edge...rofl

I'd sleep very very lightly if I were the Morganites. (sort of kidding, but not really)

This guy ..... I can't get over him. But what I find myself wondering is WHY we never see him saying anything to the camera. You see almost everyone else in the "confessional" but I can't recall seeing him??

Lorry

Friday, October 24, 2003 - 05:41 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Good question Missy.... Probably because the camera people can't stand him...lol Ohhh I hate being mean, and I wanted to like that buff body soooo much. Oh well... He's going to hate the way America see him as a wimp. What good is all that muscle???

Surfgirl, I plain forgot about Matt... He gave me the creepy crawlies too. I didn't know he was really unbalanced though.

I think the Morgan tribe should up their protein intake and eat Osten. All of that lean meat will really help them in challenges. (J/K)

Lorry, what did you mean by saying you didn't know that Matt was "really unbalanced."? Did something happen to him?

Whats up with Osten ? He applied for this show not really realizing what he was getting himself into. He needs to go home.

Lorry

Friday, October 24, 2003 - 08:29 am EditMoveDeleteIP
ImmunityMan, above my post, Surfgirl mentions that Matt really was crazy. I was taking that statement to mean somehow it came to light that Matt really did have mental problems. By his actions, he did appear, much like Osten did last night, as though he might go over the edge.

MissLibra, how did he not know??? The only thing I can think of is, he applied to so many reality shows, like BB, and some of the others, that he never checked into them to find out what they were about. There is just no other reason for his behavior.

Unless he's the greatest actor alive...lol In that case, wow, that's brilliant... but will it take him to the end? I doubt it.

Has he never watched Survivor????

Good point about no confessionals, now I am really starting to wonder if he is infact the big lie and is saving his strength til the merge. Maybe he is telling the cameras his plan but we aren't seeing it yet. It fits into what JP said about the lie.

Lorry

Pamy, good thinking about the confessionals. I've wondered myself why he is never shown.. figured the camera people couldn't take his whining...lol

Surfgirl

Friday, October 24, 2003 - 10:44 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Maybe not many confessionals because ..well face it.. same boxers for 3 weeks .. afraid of water.. not many baths..looks like you would have to get pretty close up for a confessional..hard to run camera when eyes are watering..lol and could explain why pelican was so attracted to him!..ok i know im going to get slammed for this was just kidding couldnt resist!;]

I don't think they have any choice about doing confessionals. They have to do them. So I like the theory that producers have held them back so far. We haven't seem Osten's big moment yet.

I like the theory that he has talked about the "fake drowning" thing and its being held back.

Lauram

Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 07:32 am EditMoveDeleteIP
if he had been talking about his "fake drowning" and love for nature during confessionals, why would JP be so surprised about the big lie? It seems that Jeff was lead down the same path as the viewers and then realized some big lie had been told.

Maybe the cameraman told MB and MB decided not tell JP, so he could see his reaction when Osten starts winning.
I rewatched the tape and no one could act that look of terror he had on his face with the bird! LOL
