Okiekerriella | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 05:41 pm     Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Drake. They are my team and I would be SOOOO bummed if they lost BUT poor Morgan is definately paying for their poor planning in the beginning. They are weak from hunger and lack of sleep, they have very few supplies and their morale is about as low as it can get. They need a win if there is going to be a Morgan tribe left by the merger. |
Bomom | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 06:12 pm     I feel like Drake did get a huge early advantage by having a team member that spoke Spanish and was able to barter for so much more; but Morgan doesn't look like they made very wise choices in their purchases, which didn't help either. Obviously, they also have some team members who's heart really isn't in the game, which, in a group environment, can be demoralizing. I hope they can somehow rally, although I'm really rooting for Drake. It's so nice to finally see a team really gel on this show,not be all about youth and beauty, and work together to get things done without a bunch of prima donnas or "young against the old" mentality. |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 06:32 pm     Not really sorry for them, when they start acting like a team maybe but not yet. They have been there six days, why don't they build a shelter if they know that they need sleep. Why didn't they pick the scout lady as leader, why was it alpha male. I do feel sorry for the ones that are trying but geez they should have learned some survival skills before they left. You never know though if they win a challenge that might pick up their spirits and then they will start to work as a team, I hope so. I liked Drake the best from the beginning but I don't like to see a runaway and that young blond guy on Drake has got to go, he gets on my last nerve. |
Not1worry | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 06:32 pm     I felt sorry for Ryan S., but not for Morgan as a whole. They had written him off last time. They could have rallied around him and not sent him out there first. Maybe it was the all-powerful editing, but it seemed like he was doomed. Don't even get me started on Osten. Nope, I don't feel sorry for Morgan. |
Rupertbear | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 06:42 pm     Andrew seems very proficient at pointing the blame at others for the teams shortcomings. As the appointed & annointed leader, shouldn't he be held somewhat accountable for their reactive, not proactive stance? Ryan S summed up their deficiences quite well at TC. And I agree with Not. Osten....all show & no go. He came blustering in like a hurricane last week, now he is begging to be voted off? I think he's worried about losing his shape ;) |
Csnog | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 06:45 pm     So far it seems a show about the men. Not much footage with the women yet. Sandra handled the raid on the Morgan tribe very well. If they knew they were going to have to give something up like their tarp they should have hidden it. They must have hidden their water jug as that was the only thing she was looking for. They haven't even gone to catch fish? It looked like they had some netting. What are they doing? |
Wrat1010 | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 06:45 pm     Nope.. they're worthless. Every single one, save Lillian. Osten sells his clothes to make more money to buy supplies and they don't even spend all their money. This is the lamest tribe ever and I'm thinking Mark Burnett purposely stacked the deck against them by picking the lamest bunch ever for one tribe except then he realized he had two skinny guys so he swapped Jon and Lillian which explains how Lillian got stuck with such a bunch of losers. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:03 pm     I don't think Morgan had a water jug. When they finally figured out that the map showed the water well and Lilly and Ryan S went there it looked like they had big BOWLS. I don't feel sorry for them. And I also agree that Jon, on Drake is practically subhuman.. well that is harsh but, just really obnoxious. |
Dragonfly | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:07 pm     Usually I am all for the underdog. This is the first show that I like the winners. Maybe because I liked Sandra right off the bat and Rupert the Hagrid amuses me. He's got a great outlook. I don't really get a sense of who the other people are on Morgan yet. |
Not1worry | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:24 pm     Darrah is almost invisible and Ryan O is just beginning to appear. Let's hope Morgan can win something before it becomes too painful to watch. |
Csnog | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:27 pm     Mark is known for hiding his winner during the first few shows giving them very little air time. |
Jhezzie | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:51 pm     The difference between the teams is that Drake got into the spirit of the game from the get. Morgan is unorganized and don't seem to have a sense of teamwork. JMO. |
Ricki23 | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:10 pm     I do feel a little sorry for him. He seems very intelligent, if he only had the muscles to match the brain. I liked him the first show, when he wanted his crew to get together and come up with a game plan during the buying. And then he pointed out that they had extra $ and no one would listen to him. |
Sweetpea1994 | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:19 pm     I also agree that Ryan S. got the short end of the stick. He and Lil seem like the only 2 who don't have their heads up their A****s. All Andrew has shown as their leader is he knows how to assign blame. The only thing I will say about Osten is "Why did you sign up?" |
Csnog | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:20 pm     Andrew said the clouds are brewing over here but the storm is heading over there (Drake?) in that direction, a clue that Drake may lose next week. Lili was the only person that caught Jeffs smirk about Andrews leadership. Sandra was set up for the Morgan team to dislike and Jeffs remark about payback. |
Flamingo | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:04 pm     Morgan is too dumb to feel sorry for. I was cheering on Sandra when she was tearing off their tarp. Morons. I do feel sorry for Lilian being stuck with that tribe of idiots. Hopefully Osten and Andrew will go before her and she'll make it to the merge though. |
Kady | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:08 pm     I loved it when Lil said at tribal council that the tribe needs to fish more. Haha, you know she had more to say but knew to keep her mouth shut. I felt sorry for Ryan S tonight but not the rest of the tribe. Ryan seemed really nice. I would love for this team to sacrifice their leader as Jeff hinted to at tribal council. |
Jane_Bond | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:09 pm     I don't feel sorry for the team either. They are disorganised and crabby. Do none of them realise that building a shelter in the treed area off the beach will cut down on wind chill in the evenings? Poor Lil - they should've appointed her the leader. I mean, she's a professional team leader that involves wilderness training! But, of course, it's all about the alpha males taking control and not doing anything. I imagine they have the same attitude towards Lil that she faced when attempting to get into Scouting originally. I feel bad for Ryan S. They obviously haven't learned from previous shows that an effective team needs diversity. Brawn is ineffective without a few brains around for direction. |
Csnog | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:12 pm     Remember other teams that seemed down at the begining of the season and went on to SURVIVE! All may not be lost for Morgan. Wonder if the new tribe merge bands are in the chest. Early merge? |
Bendymonkey | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:17 pm     It already was painful to watch...but maybe that's just cuz i had developed a soft spot for Ryan S. From here on in tho, no, i won't feel sorry for them and i won't mind watching Morgan fall apart. *shrug* |
Texannie | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:38 pm     That reward challenge was just painful to watch!! Why did they put Ryan first? |
Carrie92 | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:44 pm     Don't feel too sorry for Ryan S. He's probably weak for a good reason. Check out: www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/hastiemain1.html I really don't feel too sorry for Drake. I agree Andrew has not stepped up as leader. "Tomorrow, we are really going to get to work on our shelter." What had they been doing all day for 6 days? They really could be a strong team if they gave it some effort and developed a game plan. Hopefully, Osten's whining is just temporary. He could be a strong player if he tried. And if he really wanted to leave, he wouldn't have voted for Ryan S. He had to have known the vote would be between himself and Ryan, so why vote that way? |
Pannie | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:59 pm     Pity. I feel pity for the Morganites. Too bad they're stuck with Andrew's blame-game leadership (as many of you noted so well above). Yeah, so next it's Sandra's fault for the next fumble. sheesssse. Oh and what language was Darrah speaking in? Could you understand her? Are we going to need an interpreter for the next xx weeks? Poor Lil, is right. She looks like a lone island to me. At least El Jeffy loves Lil; I hope he saves her. |
Jane_Bond | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 10:00 pm     Carrie - they've been playing "toss the coconut" for 6 days. |
Hippyt | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 10:14 pm     Nope,don't feel sorry for them. They need to get it together,they are pitiful. |
