I didn't vote Trish because of Snewser.
He doesn't even have a green checkmark up for this week yet. All he did was upgrade Jon and put Trish in a confusing catagory along with Osten and Rupert. He did post at Sucks when a poster brought up the CBS activities tab, but I'm still not sure if he was being sarcastic or not.

Anyway, a light went off for me when a poster on another board said they thought Trish was going to pull a "Deena" and get booted because of it.

Remember the week Deena went, the rest were on the same page to boot Matt, with a Butch backup if Matt won immunity. Deena decided all on her own that Alex was a threat for II and also he was too liked by "the girls". This made the rest of them uneasy, and she ended up getting the boot instead.

I think the same thing will happen with Trish. We see her saying Rupert has an awful lot of power, she knows he is liked by BOTH tribes. We saw her eyeing Rupert and Andrew intently last week when Andrew came for the rice. I think Morgan wins the RC and Andrew comes over and there is more bonding, or its Ryan and he gushes to Drake how great Rupert is. Rupert is also a huge immunity threat. They think the merge is coming up, Trish will try a brazen betrayal. (brazen is a word I think of most associated with women, btw) Sandra will say, "this is crazy!" and Trish will get booted, then she will come back the next week in the ghost tribe, and probably go far. I really, really don't think Lil is the one who makes F2. IF there is any truth to the rumor, I think its Trish, and she has to go this week for it to happen.

Okay, I found out the main reason the spoiler boards are buzzing about Trish. Someone posted on the Survivor Sucks spoiler board and said that every week they have noticed that a day before the show if you went to the website and clicked on the survivor's individual page (there are three tabs one for Biography, one for Favorites and one for Activities) the tab for Activities is missing on the person that gets the boot.

This week Trish's tab for Activities is missing. The reasoning behind it missing is that the webmaster has to put a lot more into that page for the person that is voted off that week and they are preparing for that.

They say that this has happened for every boot back to Ryan S. I dunno if this is in fact true, but I thought I'd throw this out there for our people.

Thanks Azriel, I was hoping someone would come along and explain that! Its late here and I was too tired/lazy to do it, sowwwy.

Did you see the post by Snewser in that thread? If you did, what was your take on it? I didn't know if I should take it on face value or if he was being sarcastic.

I was skeptical of this at first, but someone posted the "technical" reasoning of why this oversight or glitch or whatever might be valid.
Not being techinal myself, it seemed plausible to me.

Anyway, like I said above, I had just read on another board the "Deena" comparison and was thinking, I think thats it! when I happened on this thread at Sucks. It all fit together. Now watch Shawn or Rupert go tomorrow, lol.
Gotta get some shuteye, thanks again for that clear explaination.

Thanks Hermione69 for those links to Snewser.

I agree with you Auntiemike, the involvement on these boards has been very enjoyable and positive. I can't wait to get on-line and read everyone's theories. So much fun and sooooo addictive!

Azriel, I read that earlier theory about Trish and I recall hearing similar rumors during the BB season about it's website. While it was a interesting theory it didn't turn out to be anything significant. While I'm not a webmaster, I don't think that you have to take page off-line to work on it. You just revise a copy, then upload your new version. Maybe someone else here who knows more about web design could give us more info.

Webkitty, I saw Snewser's comment and it was a bit puzzling. It looked like he was being sarcastic, but who knows.

As a webmaster for many years, I can guarantee you don't have to take pages down to update them. The transition from one to another is very quick and smooth and generally quite "transparent" to the webee. Especially if its a static page, which that one is.

I never take any "spoiler" regarding what's happening on the CBS webpage seriously. There's always lots of them every year and they never hold water.

Hermi, I want you to know that I love all your ideas (including the one about Trish this week). I don't always have a chance to post a response (I'm usually at work) but you can be sure I'm reading!!! Keep it up. I love everyone's ideas. It makes Survivor worth it and actually our ideas are much more exciting that what usually happens! Maybe EPMB will change that this year.

Herm, I love your ideas too. I'm sorry I didn't respond to the one about Trish. I think you were right on another thread, that we get so "into" this spoiling that we tend to tumble all over each other with our enthusiasm. This is a good thing, imo. Sometimes, I picture us all as one giant brain throbbing with ideas! lol.
I agree Jeep, our different (and changing, sometimes by the minute) ideas are just as fun as watching the show!
...I'm a Survivor geek, I'm a Survivor geek, I'm a Survivor geek.... Its allllll good!! wheeeee!!! (is it on yet?)

Putergirl and Andy, I was just saying what the reasoning was that other people were giving. I don't know alot about websites, but I thought it sounded awfully stupid. I haven't seen it every other week like these people claim it has been so I'm not reporting that all of this is the truth. I just wanted people to know this was one of the reasons that a lot of people were suddenly rushing to vote for Trish.

Oh you guys, no need to apologize!! I was being full of myself! LOL! It is funny that I thought about her going, but not about WHY they would fixate on her, and Webkitty's explanation of her pulling a Deena is a good one and a plausible one. I can totally see that happening.

Oh, I am having fun! I am so glad that things have slowed down enough in my life that I can jump into this again. I feel like the first 4 episodes went by with me in a perpetual fog because I was so overloaded with personal stuff.

That is really interesting about the Activities tab missing on the CBS site, but I got to tell you, it makes me think of Gervase's X. They are playing with us for some reason!

I have been staying away from Sux this season. I rarely go there. I got the info from Wezzie's post just from following a link. I just don't like the climate over there. Maybe I need to suck it up and deal so I can stay on top of things!

So now, if Trish goes we can debate if she or Lillian is the older woman that comes back in. My money is on Trish.

Herm, I think Sucks spoiler board is hystercal! I love it when some first time posting idiot doesn't read the rules and posts a stoopid theory there. There was one guy that rambled on and on (making NO sense whatsoever) and Q came along and dryly said, thanks for the spec and promptly locked the thread (its a SPOILER board, theories are not welcome,they have a speculation board for that)
If you lurk there enough, you get the sense that these people know each other enough to whip back and forth with zings but they aren't really serious. (not to confuse the spoiler board with sucks, that place is like Jumaji, a vortex to be avoided at all costs, lol) The Mess Hall is very respectful there.

Anyway, my money is on Trish too. She fits the spoilers and Lil does not.

Also, has anyone seen Snewsers front page today?
He has two articles up. One on RUPERT and one on ANDREW. The one on Andrew is dated Oct. 16 ?! And, the pics in the article are in b&w, like after people get voted off. I think he loves to mess with us. I refuse to read anything into this.

The thing about the CBS site. I remember reading over the years here and there that they don't run a tight ship. I don't think they are messing with us on purpose. I actually think this "tab" thing might be a slip up on there part. IF its true that this thing has happened every week since Ryan S. got booted, there must be something to it.

The poster at SSB (sucks spoiler board) who posted about this was the same one who posted that Christa's fiance flew down there during filming. He said he was in the travel biz.

I keep going back to that word "brazen" The only time I have heard it used is in...~brazen hussie~
Logic says that Shawn attempting a coup wouldn't be brazen because it might be expected anyway, since he is the odd man out. The act of betrayal is being done to Rupert, who else, Sandra? No, because she thinks whatever is going down is "crazy". Christa? maybe. Jon, maybe, but Snews has him upgraded now, and we haven't seen his redemtion yet. Its got to be Trish. Yep, she pulls a Deena, and the rest are just as shocked as Tambaqi was and freak out and vote HER out.
(unless Snews is trying to tell us something with the Rupert and Andrew articles, but I'm not going there) <fingers in ears singing la, la, la la>

i just want to concur with webkitty and hermione (oh yeah, it was ME who initially blew off your idea about Trish. uh, sorry!) that trish would be a better candidate for F2 than lillian. if i was to assess these women based on strength and strategy, trish come out on top. (well, minus any attempt to oust rupert, that is.)

i think that MB has gotten a lot more savvy about the spoiling community, and i think he is encouraging certain rumors that just won't pan out. IMHO both lillian's torch not going out AND lillian's comments in interviews just seem a bit over-the-top. they seem very out-of-character for a show that likes to keep secrets. unless, of course, it's just misdirection and lil ISN'T returning.

(and, BTW, I just rewatched some of last season's show. i showed an episode to my writing class --the one right BEFORE deena was ousted. she made a lot of comments in that episode about how comfortable she was, about how much she was in control of things. it certainly was reminiscent of the type of control trish seemingly has at drake. i guess we'll see soon enough. . .)

Hello Darkness, my old friend

strumming the ol 12 string..

Well if Trish is wrong, I'm probably doomed.. since you guys have me pretty convinced..

Puttergirl

Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 11:12 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Nothing personal, but I sure hope you're all wrong cause I haven't changed my vote to Trish. I'm not convinced!!!

Also, Snewzer hasn't posted his pick yet.

I love reading all this spoiler stuff but I have to lurk at work and by the time I get home my comments wouldn't make sense!
Thanks for all the work spoilers!!
Hermie, you convinced me last nite and I changed to Trish before the deadline, I just forgot to go to Mediaho and do the same and now it is too late! damn!

well it's a mess this week again on the boot.....The major sources have it split right down the middle. Acme has Shawn going, while TDT and a couple of others have Trish going.

Actually, Trish going based on other spoilers makes sense. Remember, the rumor is, theres a second chance for one of the pre-merge bootees. Next week would be the traditional merge, and if Trish going is right and they merge, the teams would merge even (after Drake being up 8-5....shows why you cannot risk throwing a challenge). The player who comes back might want to go with the other tribe in an alliance to boot their former tribe members in a Pagonging....and also remember, the person who comes back is an "older woman", so it would almost have to be Trish or Lill (and I don't see Lil being that devious). Which might be good for some of the other spoilers, since the person who comes back supposedly makes final two.....Plus, Trish has had very little screentime. Perhaps to throw people off when she's booted and then comes back with a vengence...

If Shawn goes this week, and there's a traditional merge, Lil might be the one to come back, but I don't know.

So where is snewser's pick, is it only the page that shows the pick?? I thought he used to give confusing commentary as well and I can't find it.
