Squaredsc | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 09:03 am     lol i can cause he scares me. |
Djgirl5235 | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 09:44 am     Kaili - I've read on other boards, that they're calling Rupert "Hagrid" |
Kaili | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 10:01 am     Awwww.... |
Myjohnhenry | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 10:09 am     Did you all see/hear this? To kick up the competition a notch for this installment, "Survivor: Pearl Island" presented its competitors with a new twist. The 16 men and women were told to dress for a press conference the way they wanted to appear to the world, but when it was over, instead of allowing them to grab some clothes before heading out, they were told the clothes on their back were the clothes they would be wearing for the game. http://et.tv.yahoo.com/tv/2003/08/28/survivor_pearlisland/ "This started the game as if they had been shipwrecked," explains "Survivor" host JEFF PROBST, who is enjoying the pirate theme. "It changed everybody's perception of how the game was going to work, and it played out as the first challenge." |
Kaili | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 10:40 am     They all wanted to prsent themselves topless? I mean Nicole from Team Morgan seems to have a dress on, and Ryan and Tijuana from the same team seem to have nicer looking clothes on but what happened to their clothes then? They must have let them be shipwrecked with bikinis and shorts at least. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 10:45 am     well that sort of explains the lady with the scouts uniform on. she scares me too though. |
Myjohnhenry | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 10:50 am     From what I have read so far the preview vidcaps appear to show wearing of buffs for womens tops (whats new) and the men wearing boxers/underwear. I am sure they had to get creative and we don't know yet if they had to go the whole game like this or until a reward challenge. Should be interesting. |
Djgirl5235 | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 11:18 am     MJH - the girls haven't really been wearing the buffs as tops in a long while though... I think this is a great idea though! |
Moondance | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 02:12 pm     Sure they have! Heidi and whats her name wore them last year as tops... as the girls did the season before that and the season before that! |
Moondance | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 02:13 pm     Thanks SquareBear!!!!!!!! |
Lycanthrope | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 02:50 pm     Well, I'm rooting for Rupert and Tijuana intitially; for very different reasons, of course |
Whoami | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 03:20 pm     Don't see it provided yet, so here's the official CBS site for Survivor 7. Survivor 7 |
Squaredsc | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 05:26 pm     yw moonie. yep buff wearing has been in all seasons i believe. |
Reader234 | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 06:50 am     Did anyone catch the early show today? They interviewed a (hope I remember this, thought for sure someone somewhere would've already posted!!) TV guide reporter, I came in late, but it sounded like he was there, and had video clips of the start of Survivor. He said the challenges were going to be more physical since the tribes are male/female. He said that in the first challenge you will see a few naked males, (due to the physical in order to do the challenge?) he mentioned the clothes, and it was already reported on this site, they came expecting one thing, and were whisked off w/ nothing but the clothes on their backs!! Julie had predictied Shawn (an S name male from the orange tribe) would be the first voted off (he scares me!!) and the TV guide reporter said, nope, not possible... then he looked over at his side, and changed the subject!! lol I apologize for my short term memory losses!! I make no claims on the accuracy of anything stated above!! |

Djgirl5235 | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 09:59 am     What I meant about the Buffs as tops, is that it hasn't been as prevalent as it was in the first two seasons - not that they haven't done it, but only occasionally. The first two seasons the girls did it all the time. The last few seasons they've only worn them as tops once or twice and the rest of the time they've been worn on their heads, or their wrists etc. |
Awareinva | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:48 am     Is it just me being wishful.... or is this an older group overall from past years? Seems like there are more older 20's and younger 30's.... maybe not, but seems like less real young ones this time out. |
Kaili | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:50 am     I think it's a way better age mix- especially compared to what CBS did with Big Brother with one person so much older than the rest. I'm pretty happy with the mix in this cast. I do think they are older too- the number of older people alone brings up the average. Hmm....I might just go and do that. Figure out the average ages.... |
