Archive through November 07, 2003
Hermione69 | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 04:19 am     "Shocking, simply shocking" - A couple of Survivors are shocked by an electric stingray. - A sudden bounty of food for some causes energy levels to rise, egos to clash, suspicions to fester and one group of castaways to plan a coup. Will it work? - Two castaways, an unlikely couple, enjoy a private reward. |
Webkitty | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 06:08 am     THANK YOU HERMIONE! I was asking on another thread if this next episode was 8 or 9. Its 8, so thanks. Ummmm, so now we know what the 'shocked' part is refering to....that's IF we can trust CBS!  |
Alaginger | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 07:02 am     Oooohhhhhhh........this sounds good. From the "Accidental Tourist" Look for a reward challenge involving an overnight stay at luxurious Hacienda Del Mar. Sources say the winner is male and allowed to take a guest. Oooohhhhh... this sounds like a Reward Challenge where the winner takes somebody with them. You reckon that Burton will win and take Lillian!!! That would be too scrumptious!!! |
Hermione69 | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 07:54 am     Do do do do do do do.... I think she will take Jon, because it says "an unlikely couple." Burton is not unlikely, IMHO, because Burton and Lill bonded on the Ghost Tribe. Jon is the most unlikely of the bunch and it would leave everyone wondering, "What the HECK?" |
Tasia | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 08:41 am     My first thought was Jon and Lil as the unlikely couple, but then I second guessed myself and now I'm thinking Jon and Sandra would be a very unlikely couple as well. |
Gen | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 09:18 am     From Hermione69 Friday, November 07, 2003 - "one group of castaways to plan a coup. Will it work?" I think we saw a glimpse of this in the preview last night, but it went by in a hurry. There are now 5 women and 4 men. Are Sandra and Christa going to the rest of the women to plan a coup? It does seem likely. Ryan is forecast to go next, Rupert after him. This leaves Jon and Burton. It is forecasted that 2 women are in the finals. SNN has Burton with thumbs up/down. He isn't listed in the F8. Rupert is thumbs neutral. Ryan is thumbs down. Jon is thumbs up. Do the girls consider Jon as one of them? Or would he be the easy one to beat in the F2? Edited to add: all the women have a thumbs up except Christa. She has a thumbs neutral. |
Webkitty | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 09:41 am     Do you think Jon could WIN a challenge? I have to go with my gut and say that Burton and Rupert are going to be the challenge hogs for awhile. Both have been well fed and have the drive for the task at hand. Will this make them vulerable? You betcha. Especially if they fall prey to the Colby syndrom. They *should* back off on the reward challenges, but my gut says they won't. (you would think after 6 seasons they would know this, huh?) IF a male wins and brings a female, most unlikely couple: I'll take a wild guess and say Burton takes Darrah for strategy reasons. This causes conflict with Ryan, who by all accounts from Morgan bootees so far, has a crush on her. Jon will see this and use it to once again deflect the boot de jour from himself. Ryan gets the boot instead. I have to say, I can see why Jeff said he came to have a grudging respect for Jon. The guy has more lives than a cat! |

Hermione69 | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 10:16 am     I don't know that Jon could win a challenge (LOL!), but I think Lillian could. She might pick him. Although, come to think of it, Jon placed 4th last night, behind Andrew who is now gone. He doesn't have has the endurance or strength Burton and Rupert have, but in a short, "scrambly" type of challenge, he may come out the victor! Maybe. It is a stretch, though, LOL! Plus don't they usually mix in some mental challenges along with the physical? I don't know that I can see Burton picking Darrah. He is in a good place now and blatantly picking a Morgan would make him vulnerable. Plus he is an attractive young man and she is an attractive young woman so that doesn't really merit an "unusual" label, IMHO. I would think they'd try to play up a possible attraction if it was those two rather than it being "unusual." Something along the lines of "sparks fly." MB loves to tease us with possible hookups, even if they end up being nothing. Now Jon and Darrah... that would be unusual!! Especially after his little "pass" at her a few episodes back when she shot him down! ROFL! I just can't get Jon out of my mind because of the "unusual" tag, but I know how often things are misrepresented and it is probably nothing! I don't know if I see the women trying a coup just yet. Sandra and Christa still seem too tight with Rupert. Maybe later? I think the coup probably fails and it is probably Morgan trying for a last gasp effort not to be pagonged. |
Hippyt | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 11:21 am     I was reading the voice over from the promo,and it shows Jon mentioning booting Rupert to Burton,then Sandra mentioning booting Burton to Christa. This naturally makes me think neither Burton or Rupert is going anywhere this week. The old CBS red herring! |
Alaginger | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 12:19 pm     Okay......I've changed my mind. I'm thinking the odd couple could be........ "Rupert wins the reward challenge. He looks at his buddies Christa and Sandra and says something like "Can I let them have the reward?" JP says "No", so Rupert doesn't want to have to choose between them, so he says....."well, in that case, I'll take Ryan." While they are gone, the tribe goes to work and boots Ryan this week, and Rupert next week. Hey, it's only one scenario out of many, many, many that could happen!!! (LOL) |
Hippyt | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 12:23 pm     Ginger,I think you need a nap! LOL,just joshing |
Hermione69 | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 12:42 pm     Hippy, SurvivorFever has Burton suggesting to Jon that Rupert needs to go, not Jon suggesting it to Burton. Anyone know for sure? This is from SurvivorFever: "VO: Rupert is a Survivor hero and a fan favorite. Sometimes generous... Ti: Rupert does alot of hunting and fishing... VO: ...always dominating... Rupert: Damnit, look at me! VO: Now will the merged tribe conspire against the island king? Christa: We might be able to get rid of Rupert. Burton (to Jon): We've got to get Rupert off right now. VO: Or will they cut their own throats? Rupert (to Jon): You cross me, I'll kill you. VO: Plus a sinister plot is brewing... Tijuana: If one of the guys get hurt... VO: ...and you'll never guess who's behind it. Sandra: You want to come along?" Is this inaccurate? Because it has Christa mentioning booting Rupert also. |
Hermione69 | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 12:44 pm     (As you know, I can't hear well enough to figure out the voiceovers) |
Hippyt | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 12:48 pm     Is that written down,or sound? Cause my speakers are shot! lol,we'll figure it out somehow! Now,that must be a different one than I read. I got mine from Survivor Phoenix. edited to say DOH,it must be written! |
Hermione69 | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 12:49 pm     I just went to Blows and they have the same transcript. It is from the Web promo. This is interesting! Christa is saying that! Unfortunately, I don't have time to reflect on it now. I have an appointment in an hour to get my hearing aid fixed. |
Hermione69 | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 12:52 pm     Hippy, I think you probably read the TV promo one. |
Hippyt | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 12:57 pm     So,Christa is thinking of booting Burton and Rupert???? Has she been hit with the stupid stick or what? Rupert would take her and Sandra along all the way to the final three! |
Hermione69 | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 01:02 pm     Nobody wants to go up against him at the final TC and if he gets to the F3 and wins immunity, he's got it in the bag. In fact, he is such a threat to go on an immunity run that they do need to consider booting him sooner than later. I'm speaking from a strategic viewpoint. Rupert is a HUGE HUGE HUGE threat. Gotta go!!! |
Hippyt | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 01:05 pm     But...sniff,sniff......I wuv him! And,they are in the perfect Pagong position. I hope he does go on a run,at least for awhile. Hell,I'd be ok with MB renaming it The Rupert Show! |
Webkitty | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 01:07 pm     There there Hippy....Rupert will be on the All Stars! So, TWO whole seasons of Rupert. |
Caycaye | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 03:01 pm     I think, that once again, CBS is guilty of some "creative editing". I think they WANT us to believe that Rupert may go, and that Christa is even in on it..... But I can't see Christa or Sandra abandoning their alliance with Rupert so soon. They need to get a little further before they do that. Even if the "try out" the loyalty of the other women in order to vote out Burton or someone else...it won't be to kick out Rupert yet....mark my words... And Burton will NEVER betray Rupert to help JON...even if he needs to get rid of Rupert eventually. CBS is being too obvious with what they want us to think. |
Hippyt | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 03:03 pm     Here, here me matey! I totally agree! |
Alaginger | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 04:33 pm     Hermie ...... this is for you. At the CBS website the video shows Christa saying "We might be able to get rid of Rupert" and you can read her lips because it is quite clear.......however, you know what CBS is like and she could have said, "And then Sandra said, we might be able to get rid of Rupert". Right after that they show the back of Burton as he talks to Jon and he is saying "We need to get rid of Rupert, right now!" |
