11 Dec 2003 tonights show & spoilers
Dee | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 10:16 am     I know what you mean, Sky!!! LOL And it WOULD be funny if Jon's grandma tore herself away from Jerry Springer long enough to be at the Finale. LOL |
Pamy | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 10:46 am     I was thinking it would have been funny if Jon's grandma pulled up in the car |
Tashakinz | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 11:58 am     Did anyone else get the image of a dog humping it's master's leg when Jon jumped on Burton after Burton invited him to go with him on the reward? Hubby & I both commented on the whole body-hugging thing going on there... LOL (There's a capture from that scene up-thread if you want the visual stuck in your head lol) |
Auntiemike | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 04:36 pm     Ironic isn't it that Burton probably didn't choose Lil because he didn't want any more of her kisses of appreciation! However, he probably never planned on Jon's hugs of appreciation. Either way he has to take physical contact for sharing his reward. I guess that's something I don't see him too comfortable with. |
Gemma120in2002 | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 01:44 pm     This is the first time I've ever sat and applauded something in my living room! LOL! |
Dee | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 06:51 pm     I had a bunny who humped my cat. And my arm or leg. And his teddy bear. Here is his with my cat: http://images.andale.com/f2/118/111/5454457/994805016503_Mo_Hela.jpg Everytime I see Jon, he reminds me of a rabbit with that long-toothed smile of his. Now I've got the image in my head of him humping - thanks! LOL |
Allietex | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 09:14 pm     Gemma, I was sitting alone in my living room thrusting my fist into the air shouting "Yes! Yes! Yes!" And I did not even feel foolish. Best moment in Survior since John (can't remember which year) got vote off. |
Dee | Sunday, December 14, 2003 - 09:17 am     Which John was that? Where was Survivor filmed at that year? |
Pamy | Sunday, December 14, 2003 - 09:29 am     Dee, that pic is ttooo funny!! You should post it in the 'write a caption for this pic' thread!! |
Woofy | Sunday, December 14, 2003 - 10:05 am     Dee, I remembered the "Bunny Hop" from the 50's, but I guess the "Bunny Hump" is ageless! |
Gina8642 | Sunday, December 14, 2003 - 10:13 am     Dram - IMO the challange wasn't specifically designed to favor Darrah per se, but it is designed to favor any person with small hands and skinny arms (that will probably be a female in any group of mixed sex) who was coordinated enough to move quickly and efficiently along the planks, lower the booms, etc (someone athletic). From what I've read - the challanges are pretty much designed before filming even starts. So, I'm NOT saying that they day before the challange they said "we want Darrah to win this one, let's design something only she can win". All of these challanges are practiced before hand - to see how well they work, who likely will do well in them, to set camera angles, etc. It had to be immediately apparant that someone Burton's size with large hands would be at a clear disadvantage compared to someone Darrah's size. So, a small athletic female is favored. Lil was also quick to get her keys, but she wasn't as coordinated (i.e., not athletic) lowering her booms/planks. Jon also did well, probably due to his skinniness. IMO all the final immunities are designed to favor small athletic females. I think originally, they were just trying to give them a fair/equal shot as compared to someone like Burton. But over time (from season to season), IMO the have crossed the line to favoring rathering than giving an equal chance. Just my opinion. Examples: - Tailands final endurance challange. Yes, Brian won - but I think a small female would have done better than him. A shorter person in good shape could have easily beaten him. He only won because Jan and Clay were physically spent at that point. Clay reportedly had been suffering from a torn muscle for quite awhile and Jan looked like she couldn't even stand anymore. Tanya would have easily beaten Brian. (Or Penny, or Shi-Ann, etc...) -Amazon's final. A small (female) foot would have an easier time keeping balance on the narrow plank they were standing on. Females have been shown in several of the reality shows to be able to hold their hands over their heads for much longer than men (some speculate due to Men's arms being heavier due their muscles - who knows? - but women always outlast the guys here). So, Jenna was favored for both factors here. Plus, women in general have excelled at these pole standing challanges - perhaps due to lower center of gravity. Again - I don't know why - but it's clear from reality show to reality show. Women usually win these things. I'm not saying that a guy canNOT win won of these challages, they certainly can. It's just that they aren't favored - Just as a woman can win a weight lifting challange, it just isn't likely. |
Allietex | Sunday, December 14, 2003 - 11:04 am     Dee, I am not sure which Suvivor it was but it was the one where John and his little gang were in control until they had a reward challenge where they elimanated the other survivors, like idots, they elimantated them in the order they expected the game to go, letting the "coattailers" to realize they were just being used. They ganged up and voted John off. Changed the whole dynamic of the game. Maybe someone else can help us out. The leader of the "rebellion" I think was Kathy. Isn't it weird how soon we forget the people and the details after we are so wrapped up in them for weeks? |
