Unfortunately, I don't think Morgan can figure out how valuable Lillian is to them. I think she'll be targeted next just because she's "older". Their acting pretty dumb right now.

Maris, I agree. I do think she fears a leadership role. She sure didn't want to be pressed for any answers and wouldn't diss her team members at tribal council.

And, LMAO... I forgot about Osten's bounty that he had to pack away before jumping ship. He was there to party down. Maybe he thought the application said: VACATION: Pearl Islands!

Chippy, I was just about to write the same thing. I can safely bet the other members didn't notice that Lill was the only one who did that challenge well. They are blinded by youth and fitness.

Osten is a whiner! He doesn't want to be there anymore for one reason- he is not the leader! He tried very hard to carve out his niche as the leader all through the first show, only for the members to name Andrew. I don't think he ever bounced back from that air coming out of his tire.

And BTW, if you're prone to pneumonia, don't sell your clothes off! He is full of it.

He is a liability to that tribe now that they know his lack of commitment and they did wrong by keeping him over a kid who had heart for the game.

Panama is in a tropical climate. The humidty is high, all the time. Low nightime temps in the 70's, along with high humidity is NOT cold by any stretch of the imagination. Even with a breeze blowing.
Think about how unbearable it is to sleep in the summer where you are on some nights if you don't have AC. You live for that fan to come around and blow on you again. The humidity in Panama is far worse than most have every experienced. The breeze is a tropical one.
I would wager, that Osten, being from Boston, has never experienced the feeling of trying to get a deep breath in a tropical climate. Some people just cannot tolerate it. I'm sure, having had phenumonia before, Osten had some panic trying to force that thick, humid air into his lungs. Hence, his comments that he "knew" he was going to get sick from the "cold".

I would also wager that he demanded to see a doctor, or at least a nurse. He seemed fully recovered by TC, and not at all surprised that Ryan S. was voted out. I bet the medical person he spoke to explained all this about tropical climates to his satisfaction. He probably still is not happy with his "camping out" situation. He is a city boy, he either hasn't watched Survivor that much or for some crazy reason didn't think it was "real" or that he could handle it if it was.

I hope he gets a nice calendar out of this or something, but get him off this season, I like to see the ones with heart and fortitude go the distance. The ones who are true fans of the show and are willing and ready to suffer physical hardships while at the same time playing a superb mental game. The ones who can fully appriciate the opportunity of a lifetime they have been given, and maybe just maybe come away with a million dollars.

Sorry, but for me, Osten is all show and no go. For a Survivor geek like me, wanting to quit like he did on day 6 puts him in the Survivor basement. Maybe he will do a complete turnaround, but for now, I gotta go with the Osten is a wuss crowd.

To Webkitty:

Well put...

Might I add that Osten is at no greater climatic disadvantage than any other Moganite or Drakette. Rupert (from Indiana), Andrew (from Chicago), Lill (from Ohio) all seem to be adapting to the humid warm air. (And don't we all pay big bucks to vacation in similar environments?)

Can someone explain to me why all the other men are growing facial hair and Osten doesn't seem to have any????...I would have thought that after 9 days there would be at least some stubble!....

Different races have different patterns of hair growth on their face and the rest of their bodies, Need. He does have a little on his throat & some bumps on his face, which indicate he has some ingrown hairs.

I agree, is it too late to join the Osten is a wuss club? :)

Thanks Rupertbear..I really never knew that! ...I thought maybe he was a "picker" and picked out his facial hair....

Lol...never thought of that, Need ;)
I notice he doesn't have any chest hair either.Wonder if that's non-growth or a nice wax job before he jumped ship :)

OSTEN IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Who the hell else on that team could have lasted as long as he did in that immunity challenge?

NO ONE!!!

His problem was that he had Rupertbear to compete against.

He carried the whole team tonight, by himself. To bad that no one else helped him out. No wonder he thought about quiting for a full 5 minutes on the last show.

BTW, did anyone else notice that just about every other teammate (and who have more clothes than Osten) complained about how cold it was at night? LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!

Osten is the man! He ain't no wimp!!!!

He is the backbone of that team.

Ok, and wasn't it Osten's boat that was hiding in the corner during part of the RC??

I liked Osten a lot more last night. He sure was giving it his all in the IC. Like Grooch said, if it had been anyone but Rupert, he would have won it. I liked seeing his determination and grit. I hope he doesn't bring back that "I want to quit," ahem, "strategy" of his!

I liked him better last night too...up until the point where Michelle left with their tribe's pot and he started making fun of her- something about a big bird act or something and saying how fake, etc. A little uncalled for (not that I would proably be much different- I'd be a bit bitter too).

It's true, he could probably have won against anyone else on Drake (although Shawn may have given him a run for his money). But Rupert could also have gone up against anyone else on Morgan...and still won.

Did you notice how Rupert wrapped his buff around his hand to protect it? Did Osten try that? I did see Osten wrap the knot around his bicep...a good way to cut of circulation in his arm...

Every time I try to form a post to describe my thoughts on Osten, I realize it will get moderated.

That was actually a wise move. He was talking on to much water and backed away so they could bail some water out and then go back in. he was not hiding at all!

Harumph!

Awe Grooch ...you give him too much credit...but, Lill was in that boat as well...Coin toss to determine who figured out the best way was to back away???? (I take heads and Lill!) LOL!
