I am thinking that if I have some extra time this week, I may go back and do an Unplugged version of the Audition tapes. I like to go back and look at those after we've seen the people on the show for a while to see if they live up to their own hype. Osten's audition is pretty funny now, looking back on the last few weeks. Heh.

Bc ~ Reading about Drake heading to Rio and Jon having heard about topless women there was to die for! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Bc, I went and looked at the audition tapes just last night. I hate to say this but I had never looked at them before!

I have a whole new feeling about Trish. I really didn't understand how she could be 'the leader' of Drake, but if I had seen her audition and profile tape then I never would have doubted it.

I also just LOVED Sandra's audition tape. It was so down to earth (I think I've lived in her house) The kid making noise in the background was a great touch, too. She could do a 'Calgon take me away' commercial.

Rupert's tape made me go awwwww that's so sweet.

Burton, Osten, Andrew and Shawn all had tapes that made me want to barf. Children can we say, 'phoney boloney'

I'd heard a lot about Darrah's tape being so cool. I thought it was AWFUL. I have advice for both Darrah and Trish. Get a more natural color of foundation! They both must have little bitty mirrors that only show their face and not their necks. Both of them freaked me out because it looked like their heads were floating on someone else's necks. Blend, blend, blend and if it doesn't blend in then you need a more natural color!

After seeing Michelle's goofy tape, I can't for the life me figure out why they chose her.

Anyway, if you haven't looked at the tapes, you definitely should go take a look.

Will do, Azriel! Interesting observations.

Bc, you are so good! I've really enjoyed your biased, opinionated commentaries. Puleeese comment on the audition tapes!

Thanks so much BC, you have a definite flair for writing. You have certainly added so much to this season of Survivor. It's almost as good as LFs.. hehe

Can't wait to read your take on the audition tapes.

Azriel, loved your take on the tapes... please continue to add your thoughts to this thread.

This is one of the best threads on the board.

I just found this thread! BC, are you related to Bunny?
Azriel, I have watched the audition videos and agree with your take all the way.

Keep it coming guys, love this stuff!

At the CBS site, I think.

I have an iMac and can't get the audition tapes to play. Does anyone else have a Mac with that problem? If so, have you solved it? I'm dying to see them.

Auntiemike, do you have Real Player installed? You can download it for free from real.com.

Auntiemike: Real and the Mac

I'm having a problem as well, but it is of my own doing (I think). Yes, all Macs come with Real player already installed (use 'find' and type in 'Real' and it will tell you where it is located on your Mac) The problem starts because some Macs (including the i-mac) come with both System 10 and System 9. And each of these systems require a different version of Real. Once you have 'found' Real, look at the 'readme' troubleshooting area (your problem might simply be solved by trashing the Real preferences file) There is an email address given for tech support.

My problem started when I tried to get the live feeds for Big Brother. (yet another version of Real) It was only after I had paid; had installed that version; found that it did not work that I found an obscure note telling me that it would not work on the Mac. I phoned Real; they apologized and refunded my $. In the process of trashing the Real version which I had installed, I became 'over-ambitious' and trashed one file which I should not have touched. (And I'm just too busy to start hunting for that file and solving the problem...)

Last resort: phone Real and complain (they seem to be nice, helpful folk...)

Lastly: There is rampant anti-Mac discrimination in this country; we need to band together; sue; get an attorney (anyone excepting Andrew...)

BC, loved your unpluged version of last weeks show. Can hardly wait for the next one.
Agree with you about Rupert and his decision to go home last week. I am sure as much as he probably wanted to stay and take a shower, he knew that would just put an even bigger target on his back. Smart move on his part.

Thanks for the Real player info Spear and Enigma. I have re-downloaded Real Player's 14 day free trial and then found it already in my Applications folder.

Enigma: My hubby has been messing with OX and System 9 (trying to get all four of our iMacs able to do the same things) and I think that may be part of the problem. I have forwarded to him your paragraphs in an e-mail (like he has nothing else to do at work but read e-mails from his wife!) but I want him to help me out. I can figure out a lot of stuff on our computer but not everything.

I will now try to "mess" with the info I have to see if I can't access those videos of contestants. Where there's a will there's a way, don't you think?

Thanks to you both for your help.

Hey Bcandscott, Azriel...ANYONE with the Yahoo Survivor Insider....I ALSO have enjoyed watching the special "extras" on the Survivor Yahoo site. It is worth the money to me...I agree wholeheartedly with your "biased" comments Bc...and I will start adding some of my own in the future...because I always watch the clips and usually want to YELL at someone!!! Or TO someone!!! LOL...ONE thing I must comment on, was how SHOCKED I was at how I had totally misjudged Michelle from just watching the edited show. I used to like her. I am GLAD she is gone now. I was so surprised to hear her nasty remarks about her teammates after Burton was booted off. She was so pride-ful and uppity. She actually RAMBLED on and on, in my opinion, about her "revenge" to them. She was LIVID!!! She even ADMITTED after it was all over with in the "next day" clip, that she "might have been allowed to stay longer if she had approached Trish and tried to explain herself...but WHO IS TRISH??? For me to have to ASK her to ALLOW me to stay"..Really resentful little girl....That is why they booted her. I was so surprised! I thought she was a nicer person. Very different insight than I had noticed from the show. She was definitely "playing" a role to her teammates, but obviously they picked up on it better than I did.

OH!! Two more things.....Yahoo gave us a choice between Real Player and Windows Media...after all of the trouble RealPlayer ALWAYS causes me and others, I picked Windows Media...and have had NO problems....

And, For anyone squeamish...don't get the Yahoo clips....I was SHOCKED at how CLOSE they zoomed in and how much time was spent on Ruperts puss-filled sores, and how they actually SQUIRTED puss...I had to avert my eyes! LOL! Sandra and Christa were cracking up, but were GROSSED out...It was horrible...poor Rupert....

Caycaye: re 'Who is Trish' / After Rupert, Trish is my favorite. She's a sleeper. She's good in the comps. She seems to know how to draw people out and get them to shoot-themselves-in-the-foot. And, quietly, Trish seems to have a lot of power within the alliance of four. If I recall correctly, when Michelle realized that she was in trouble, the first one she went to was Trish to see if she could save herself (Rupert second). When Rupert started having problems with Burton, he discussed it with Trish first....

Enigma my friend, I agree whole heartedly about Trish. I liked her from the first time I heard her speak ( what was that, episode 3? lol). I think that Trish is really the leader of the Drakes. Have you read the speculation that Trish might go this week, and then be the older returning woman? As if I didn't have enough to worry about with the possible demise of Rubert. This week will be awful watching and worrying about my two favs being booted. I eagerly await the boot predictions. If both are the two predicted to go I may have to put 911 on speed dial in case of an anxiety attack during Thursdays show.

Stilllurking: First time I noticed Trish was on first show during that canon competition. Drake was ahead and had just reached the area full of rocks. All looked a little dumbfounded, but Trish was already up front, all alone (in a dress), tossing rocks off the path.

You've got me worried: I thought that with the stong alliance between Rupert and the 'girls,' that Shawn or Jon would be next.

Caycaye

I REALLY cannot see Trish being booted off any time soon. Atleast Shawn or Jon would go before HER!!! There is too close of an alliance between Trish, Sandra, Christa and Rupert, in my opinion. Can't wait for the show tonight!!!

Caycaye & Enigma, I hope both of you are right. I would hate to lose either Trish or Rupert but alas, I fear that Rupert is not long for the show. As for Trish, I don't want her to go anywhere but I fear it may happen tonight. But the good news is many are speculating that Trish comes back!!

Enigma, did you see that some people are trying to get a Nor'Easter gathering of TVCHers together. If it happens I'd love to go and have you attend also. I'd love to meet you. Maybe we could even get Lorry to come!!
