Okiekerriella | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 03:46 am     I realized this hasn't been discussed yet and was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on it? I felt it was much more tasteful and even appropriate than last year with Jenna and Heidi. Andrew and Ryan O. were (IMO) not only showing Osten that they appreciated the fact that he bartered his clothes for camp items but also that they were a team by going to the IC in their undies as well. I also feel like Osten's decision to just pull them off all together was to be able to give his 100% attention to the challenge rather than trying to hang on to his droopy drawers and once again Andrew and Ryan saw this and followed suit. To me Last night's nudity was MUCH different than that of last season's when Jenna and Heidi stripped for peanut butter and chocolate that was already theirs once they jumped in the water. There was no reason for it what so ever. (IMO) Where as, last nights was in the spirit of friendship and togetherness. So what did you think of it? |
Jagger | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 05:49 am     I thought it was rather funny, however they did let us know ahead of time it was going to happen. it didn't however give them a leg up, afterall they still lost the competition. I did love the way Jeff handled it, stating this was a first for Survivor. I think only 2 of the guys dropped their drawers, the 3rd must have chickened out. Seeing as how it is shown on TV I don't see any problem with any of them dropping their cloths, they don't show it either way. With them living in such close quarters they probably all see each others junk throughout the 39 days. |
Eliz87 | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 06:16 am     I sure didn't mind. ;-) Seriously...last year's nudity was gratuitous nudity. Those girls were just... Well, I don't want to get moderated so I'll just leave it at that. (I didn't get into last year's show at all.) With this year's nudity, there was a different intention. It wasn't a "look at me" kind of thing. At least I don't think so. |
Lori | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 06:21 am     I agree...this nudity was for practical reasons. I just loved the caption they showed "Morgan behind". |
Bracken | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 06:39 am     I'm not sure how to feel about the "all for one, one for all" Three Musketeers nudity last night. I agree there was a better underlying reason for it than last year. All I know is that I'm already tired of looking at Osten's crack. Maybe it's just me, but when you are walking down the beach with nothing in either hand, perhaps you could attempt to pull your briefs up. I believe Osten enjoys showing his body. He took his shirt off to jump in the water from the boat, why? It was just a t-shirt. I think his decision to sell his clothes was two-fold, to impress his tribe and to have an excuse to walk around with practically nothing on, but then, that's just my opinion. |
Bananaclip | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 06:56 am     Not to mention it was much nicer to look at than Heidi and Jenna's skin and bones. Since it's the beginning of the season the guys still had some meat on their behinds. |
Hummingbird | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:14 am     I couldn't help but wonder why Osten was wearing underwear that was six sizes too big for him in the first place. His bare butt was showing right off the bat when he climbed on the boat to go to his island. |
Crazydog | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:20 am     I agree with you Bracken. I think Osten wanted nothing more than an excuse to walk around practically naked and show everyone how strong his body is. I also don't understand why his underwear was so big either, and I don't fully understand why the others felt the need to get naked either. Team unity? So what. If he didn't want to be the only guy naked then he should have worn underwear that fit and he should have kept his clothes. Shawn on the other tribe doesn't look like he is wearing underwear either, but he at least kept his pants. |
Kady | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:58 am     There was naked men!! Oh my, I didn't even notice.  |
Squaredsc | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 08:22 am     i think the elastic just didn't hold. |
Denecee | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 08:30 am     I loved it! I want to say more but I have to finish my work first! |
Bendymonkey | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 08:41 am     I agree. Last year there was no reason nor excuse (cept fanning the egos of two already overly swelled heads) this year tho, being dumped with just the clothes on your back, i'm sure we are going to be seeing a lot of odd wearables. Let this be a lesson, Mom was right, always wear good underwear! |
Squaredsc | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 08:42 am     rofl bendy. |
Tishala | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 08:43 am     I thought Osten's Abercrombie underwear was quite fine, thank you very much. But not as fine, it appeared, as the flesh that underwear was hiding! |
Kalekona | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:06 am     This years nekkedness compaired to last years?? Hey three HOT guys in the all together what's not to like. I think it's about time female views got to see some eye candy and naked male body that doesn't leave you blind (Richard Hatch) I vote MORE nudity (i think the solidarity of Andrew and Ryan showing solidarity with Osten is a great team unifier and male bonding experience..) |
Squaredsc | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:23 am     ^5 tish. |
Tabbyking | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:26 am     i think osten is gay and was laughing inside for getting the other 2 to go buck with him. just a thought! i laughed til i cried when that "Morgan behind" came up across their rear ends! some editor has what i like to refer to as "an intuitive grasp of the obvious", and a great sense of humor. i loved it when rupert stole from the other floatie thing and bartered with the belongings. (did they even notice their stuff was gone when they came back?) i loved it when the market lady wanted to buy 'trish's eyes'..... a very good first show, IMO so far, not liking much: christa, jon or tijuana. let's see if that changes down the line! |
Ark | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:29 am     Cotten absorbs water, thus becoming heavy. It also stretches when wet, thus becoming large. The only way Osten is going to keep them up is if he makes a belt or suspenders. The nudity last night didn't offend me but last year's did. |
Tabbyking | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:32 am     i think salt water may effect the elastic even sooner.... i agree that last year's nudity was offensive. IMO |
Auntiemike | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:36 am     I didn't mind the nudity but I do think there were some other options. They could have gotten creative with pulling his pants together at the waist and tying then tighter or using palm frond pieces to "sew" them together or tie them (make two holes in waistband and tie tighter). Not sure if this is clear but I do think they could have handled it without nudity. Oh well...as someone else said, at least the flesh was good - not emaciated! The whole show was really good and I am SO GLAD TO HAVE SURVIVOR back on! |
Landi | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 10:35 am     i missed nudie butts?? DANG! i hate it when i have to work! anyone aware if they are going to reshow the first episode? noone taped it for me! |
Ark | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 10:53 am     It will be replayed Sunday. |
Hawaiiandew | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 03:57 pm     If Ostens drawers are falling down now, imagine how it will be when he starts losing weight. Me thinks we will see much more of his booty in upcoming episodes |
Texasdeb | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 04:23 pm     Surely dew, they'll get him some smaller undies by then. Gosh, if they don't?!?!?! His tribe isn't going to let him be booted at least until it looks like a merge is coming. Poor Osten is sure to get thinner. Maybe they could make him a diaper type thing out of something from Lillian's outfit? I'd go for that. No, I thought Jenna & Heidi "showing off" their bodies last yr for really no reason had no comparison to the reason these men put it all out there. |
Rupertbear | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:26 pm     Rupert managed to find some string, maybe off of the dinghy?...to tie his skirt at the waist. I believe Osten is all about showing off as much of his body as he possibly can. Remember, he advised the women to 'flash your boobs' at the horny old men on the island, to barter for things! |
