Hermione69 | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 08:29 am     I think Lillian has sounded a little bitter. She can't seem to let go of believing they booted her because she wasn't young and cute. I have no way of knowing how much (or little) of that is true or not, but she was aligned with skinny Ryan and I think that got her the boot more than anything. The others felt closer to each other than to her. |
Gidget | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 10:00 am     What webkitty said... no sense repeating, I'm with you meow |
Hermione69 | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 10:42 am     There is no question anymore! Go to CBS.com and check it out! The ghost tribe is shown in the video preview! I see Lillian, Michelle, and Trish. Let me go look again.... |
Hermione69 | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 10:44 am     . . . And Burton. I am going to try to get some screencaps loaded in the pictures folder. |
Surreal_Badger | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 11:15 am     this seems like the ol' escape-from-prison comp. looks like some are tied up inside and some have to get into the cages are rescue them? morgan looks quite dejected. do they lose? |
Hermione69 | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 11:25 am     I am not having any luck with screen captures! Still trying! I think I see Nicole, too. I think she is sitting beside Michelle in a confessional. I don't see Ryan. Did anyone see Ryan? |
Webkitty | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 01:04 pm     All of the booted players come back as the "purple" tribe. Some speculation at Sucks is that they will compete in one challenge against Drake and Morgan. Only one team can win, and the ghost tribe does. So, Drake and Morgan have to each vote off a member of their tribe. Then, in the second part, (the next week) the "purple" tribe votes on who among them will get back into the game. This person then joins the merged tribe, named Balboa. The rest of the game will play out as usual. I've said before I think having anyone come back into the game once their torch is snuffed is dangerously coming close to jumping the shark. IF, it goes down like the above, I guess I could live with that for just this season. MB could pass it off as keeping with the pirate theme and ghosts and such. I am excited to see how this will all play out, so I'll reserve final judgement until it does. I viewed the web promo, and these are some observations: Michelle has a sh!t eating grin on her face and her arm drapped over Nichole. When Jeff says: you may be going home...there is a headshot of Shawn. Andrew is shown saying, its a game to end all games, and then, it shows him with his head in his hand and big letters across the screen saying: worst nightmare Sandra says: no WAY!!! There is a big headshot of Trish Lil is not featured except a shot of her coming out of the jungle with with Burton and Michelle It looks like Andrew, Burton and Shawn are in a furious footrace Rupert says: I was ready to kill...... |
Alaginger | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 02:37 pm     How about this scenario: The players are told that one person in the "ghost" tribe will be allowed to re-enter the game only if they come in first or second in the challenge. If they come in first, both Drake and Morgan have to boot one player and the "ghost" tribe will compete to see which member returns to the game. But, if the "ghost" tribe comes in second, the tribe that came in first is exempt from booting a player, and the losing tribe has to boot two players. My guess......if this scenario works is that Drake wins and is exempt. The "ghost" tribe comes in second and an older women wins (probably Lillian) to re-enter. And Morgan has to boot two people --- probably Osten and Andrew. It's too early in the week, but I got this idea from something that Starlymae put in the other thread: From a write up earlier in the season: BRIEF HISTORY: "This is the seventh edition of the network's reality standard-bearer, set off the coast of Panama." STARS: Rupert Boneham as Contestant Tijuana Bradley as Contestant Shawn Cohen as Contestant Jon Dalton as Contestant Sandra Diaz-Twine as Contestant Christa Hastie as Contestant Darrah Johnson as Contestant Lillian Morris as Contestant Ryan Opray as Contestant Jeff Probst as Host [frank z then writes,] Note: Missing are Nicole Delma Ryan Shoulders Burton Roberts Michelle Tesauro Tricia Dunn Andrew Savage Osten Taylor |
Wisgal | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 02:56 pm     Totally agree with Webkitty about the Ghost Team winning the caged challenge and the Drake & Morgan Tribes each evicting a player. But...the final challenge on the Ghost Tribe is a water challenge and Lil walks away the winner. She came home with a 25 to 35 lb.weight loss.She is said to be one of the final 2 by her local paper(against another girl) And ALL the players return from what I could see in the pic. |
Surreal_Badger | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 03:28 pm     i should probably reserve judgment, but i don't think i like this returning player thing. i mean, what kind of situation have these booted folks been residing in? even if they were kept away from food and clean clothes, they MUST have been able to get a little r&r. just being away from the annoying jon or the judgemental andrew for a day or two could give nicole, ryan, lil and all the added boost they need. (well that and a sure desire for revenge). |

Seamonkey | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 04:57 pm     I think Starlymae's clue from yahoo is VERY important; glad it was repeated here! I also agree that bringing anyone back is a jump the shark moment, but remember, all star survivor is next, which to me is being eaten by the jumped shark |
Alaginger | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 05:25 pm     Reported at SNN on 10/23/03: All signs are pointing to previously booted players coming back into the game to compete against Morgan and Drake under a wine-colored tribe. It's unclear at this point how many will come back and over what duration, but we're told to keep an eye on an older woman, a black haired man, and another woman. We heard that one of the challenges involves an escape from a corral like structure and will involve knots, likely the one shown above. Apparently the older woman goes on to win another challenge later on that involves swinging bridges, canoe racing, diving for items and racing back. |
Meli456 | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 06:56 pm     Well, if it involves knots, then we know for sure that Lil wins and not Trish! |
Kappy | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 08:26 pm     Lol, Meli ~ I was just thinking the same thing . . knots to untie, swinging bridges to cross, canoe racing ~ why it's a boy scout's fantasy camp! Any chance the 'ghosts' won't compete at all to return to the game or is it a definite that they will? I really don't like the idea of any of them getting to return at all. What I would like to see is to let them truly act as 'ghosts' where they could go into both camp sights unseen and wreak havoc on the emotions of the remaining survivors. Imagine Rupert finding his spear gone or worse yet, broken! What if each remaining survivor found something gone that would really upset them? The booted would get a chance to partake in a little revenge as 'ghosts' before actually leaving for good. I know I'm way off but I love this pirate theme they have going and I would just like to seem do what real pirate ghosts would do . . . like kidnap someone in the dark ~ rather then just voting them off, lol! |
Alaginger | Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 04:07 pm     There is talk on the other boards about a wedding. I haven't picked up anything concrete I can bring over here yet, like a CBS or T.V.Guide announcement, etc. The actual words are: One tribe hosts a wedding. Some are speculating that it's a Reward Challenge for the winning tribe in the jail contest to throw and attend a real, live Panamanian wedding with feast and everything. Others, and less likely, some are speculating that Christa's fiance shows up early and there is a wedding. And then you have those that say wedding just means merging of the two tribes.....but I don't get that because why say one tribe hosts something or 'other. And then you have those that say it is a play on words and two pelicans or two snakes gets married, or whatever.....just clowning around stuff!!! If pictures start showing up, I'll bring them over and put into the vidcap thread. |
Alaginger | Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 04:16 pm     From the front page of SurvivorFever.net Pearl Islands Episode 7 Title: "What the...?" (Part 1) Twist catches the tribe members off guard; castaways contend with the curse of the Pearl Islands; a castaway makes a monumental decision. (Zap2It 10.23.03) Airdate: 10.30.03 -------------------- "What the ...?" (Part 2) Castaways react to the curse of the Pearl Islands; one tribe hosts a wedding. Airdate: 11.6.03 |
Surreal_Badger | Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 07:20 pm     well as tempting as it is to speculate that the wedding is between JP and Jon, or between Trish and that woman in the Panamanian village, it seems more likely to me at least that the word "wedding" is merely a play on words to refer to the merge. perhaps the ghost tribe hosts? |
Webkitty | Sunday, October 26, 2003 - 09:08 am     I think it will be a real Panamanian wedding. MB likes to leave good will behind at the different locations he films in. Maybe the local mayor's daughter is getting married and MB offers to throw a delux wedding for her if she allows it to be filmed and have the cast participate. The RC winner team is given "dress-up" clothes and showers for the event, lots and lots of delicious food, music and entertainment, and act as "hosts". This would probably take place in town and not at the campsite. I think the merge happens in episode 8. After the 2 parter. There is too much going on here in the 2 parter for a merge to happen too. The merge episode always has enough drama and footage to take up a whole episode. (Africa was pretty boring but this time I can't see that happening) I think the monumental decision is Osten decides to quit (finally). |
Catfat | Sunday, October 26, 2003 - 10:20 am     Osten decides to quit? Dare we hope? |
Surreal_Badger | Sunday, October 26, 2003 - 10:30 am     TDT has a funny caption to one of the screen shots for this week's challenge. Osten is watching the ghosties march in, and the caption reads "What the... you mean I could have quit and come back in at this point? You b-----ds!" LOL |
Pamy | Sunday, October 26, 2003 - 12:30 pm     ROTF! |
Webkitty | Sunday, October 26, 2003 - 01:24 pm     I saw that too, very witty!! |
Webkitty | Sunday, October 26, 2003 - 03:15 pm     Thinking outside the box for a moment....... After reading countless theories on various sites about what will go down, and how MB will get rid of 6 extra players and keep on schedule, I have come up with a different scenario. Why can't the GT stay as a permanent fixture and merge with the other two tribes in ep8? (not part 2 of ep7, but ep8) Then, they could vote off 2 players at TC instead of 1 starting with ep8. after 1 person wins the II challenge. If one player is voted off in ep7part1, and one in ep7part2, that would leave 4 players left in ep13, which is usually 90 minutes. (if Osten quits there would only be three) There are spoilers out there that place too many of the GT far in the game. People are trying to fit these spoilers into a three day shoot schedule. (part 1&2 of ep7) The commercial I taped today says: "you won't BELIEVE how they change the game!" There is also an article over at SurvivorFever that says: It is speculated that the "Ghost Tribe" will be a steady fixture of the "Survivor Pearl Islands" thwarting the contestants who are left in the game at the various challenges. I am having a problem with having these 6 people come back, and then only having 1 or 2 physical challenges to see who gets to stay. Something is not right here. I just have a gut feeling that the members of the GT are going to be around for the duration of the game. Of course, the others would probably pick them off asap, but some would be able to win II challenges to stay. Or make alliances with disgruntled Drakes and Morgans. Michelle has been saying in her interviews that she would jump to the Morgan tribe if given a second chance. She has good things to say about ALL of them, including Osten! I'm wondering if the challenges in ep7 part 1&2 will be not to see who gets back into the game, but to see who the LOSER is among the 3 tribes. The loser has to vote off 1 person. I have seen some theories that a member of the GT gets to pick a member of Drake or Morgan to swap out with. I think if a Drake or Morgan has to leave the game without being voted off, and without getting their torch snuffed, they will be back at some point as another twist later in the season. Jeff made a point of saying at the 2nd TC, ...remember, fire is life, until your torch is snuffed, you can ALWAYS save yourself. I can't see how a person who has had their torch snuffed could oust a player who still has fire, no matter how many votes or competitions they won. Maybe the GT just lives with the merged tribe and competes for *something* (got me) and are not eligable for the money. I guess we'll find out at least part of the answer on Thursday! |
Surreal_Badger | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:05 pm     pirated from survivor phoenix: TDT and Survivor Phoenix have learned that the Ghost Tribe will only get one chance to bring players back into the game. As we reported earlier (see All Booted Players on Ghost Tribe), all of the players previously voted out of Survivor Pearl Islands will return to compete against the Drake and Morgan tribes for a chance to get back in the hunt for the $1 million bounty. Read more... As initially reported (see Ghost Tribe Competes), should the Ghost Tribe win, Drake and Morgan will have to vote out a player each. Since we have various spoilers of returning players, it is most likely that we will indeed see a Ghost Tribe win on Thursday. We have also learned that if it wins the mega challenge, the Ghost Tribe will then vote 2 people back in to replace the newly booted players and that individual players cannot vote for themselves. With the Ghost Tribe comprised of an equal number of ex-Drakes and ex-Morgans, it is probable that the returning players will feature one from each tribe. Descriptions by various spoilers of returning players were said to fit best Lillian and Burton. Thursday's 3 tribe mega-challenge features an escape-type challenge, as initially reported by Griffe in a post at Sucks. The challenge involves a race to free tribe mates from a series of enclosures, in a challenge reminiscent both of Thailand and Amazon. Run, dig under, crawl, untie, pull, dig, reach for key, unchain, win. The previews for Episode 7 feature Jeff Probst calmly addressing Drake and Morgan players with a simple "Your past is come back to haunt you." Cue to the booted players emerging from the jungle under a purple tribal flag and sporting purple bandanas adorned with a skull & cross-bones logo. Clearly a jaw-dropping moment for the audience, not to mention for the players still in the game. For once, Mark Burnett's pre-season hyperbole does not disappoint. On another note, good news for Rupertmania. We have reason to believe that Rupert should be around a bit longer. Still developing... http://resources.survivorphoenix.com/postnuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=827&mode=thread&order= 0&thold=0 |
