Lori | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 11:58 am     How embarrassing for Osten. How very pitiful. To be beaten in a strength contest by a girl. Not to mention, he's afraid of pelicans! |
Kaili | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 12:01 pm     Thanks Gidget- maybe I'll be able to hunt it down if not, but I don't know if I'll even try Too many archives, ya know! |
Lorry | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 01:16 pm     http://www.survivorfever.net/christa_wedding.html Kaili, hope this link works. Christa's wedding and a little article about her. |
Gidget | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 01:24 pm     Lorry rocks. Thanks Lorry |
Kaili | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 01:27 pm     Thanks...she does look nice in those pictures. |
Whit4you | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 06:22 pm     I've read so many places about Christa beating Osten in that weight challenge - same weight longer time. However folks seem to forget one thing - Osten's had next to nothing to eat for days, his team has lost everything even their COOKING pot... Christa has had plenty too eat and had just had a huge meal the night before with beef and lobster etc. I'm not suggesting Christa didn't do a great job but to me it seems like comparing apples to oranges to compare someone who's been starving or close to it for a week - to someone who's at their strongest physically. I'm still confused why they didn't have that pot on a very hot fire - which would have made it alot harder for the other tribe to take. |
Teachmichigan | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 06:27 pm     Sounds like BOTH teams were sleep deprived though....and that can overrule any "full tummy" effect. The insider clips show torrential downpours and storms the night before the challenge...and both sides talked about their loss of sleep (maybe an hour at most). Sorry...I don't feel bad for Osten...he hasn't gone fishing yet to FEED himself has he? (At least not with the spear). He might have been hungry, but some of it is his own fault. (Can you tell I have issues with whiners?? Sorry...I just can't find sympathy for him. It certainly didn't seem to hinder Andrew any! WOW!! He was awesome!) |
Pannie | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 08:52 pm     Good point Teach. Hungry Andrew had true grit like Rup & Christa. I remember how strong Christa was in Ep 2 - pushing that fiercely underwater treasure chest to the finish line. She "swims like a dolphin" too. She looked cute with those new freckles.  |
Catfat | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 09:21 pm     I am one person who doesn't think Osten's body is so gorgeous. Somehow it looks fake or enhanced or something. I get the same feeling about him as I did about those women in earlier Survivors with implanted breasts, almost an altered look. And add to that his whining, scaredy attitude, he is so unattractive. |
Surfgirl | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 10:08 pm     Lorry: Thanks for link to Christa's wedding pics! Needmylifeback: LOL Osten beat by a girl..and now a pelican lol..Maybe next week when he cant swim in a competition will be a woman that saves him this time? Denecee: "Dont take wrong".. sorry I did! To say they made Christa's weights "lighter" is so wrong! If it woulda been Rupert or another guy never would of been said!! And by the way Christa not so small framed! LOL. Is a strong lovable Amazon! She towers over Rupert! Whit4you: I agree with Teachmichigan, Osten and other teammates would be strong if they bothered to fish!As for no cooking pot.. acually they had xtra RUPERT won it for them in reward challenge part of shower set-up!As for Apples to oranges Andrew just as weak as Osten (proabbly more so does more work)but won it ..and Christa beat own team member..Shawn..LOL |
Kellannie1 | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 10:20 pm     I just don't buy into the whole "Osten was hungry" theory. Rupert showed the Morgan tribe how to use their spear, so if Osten is starving it's his own fault. You don't need a cooking pot to cook fish, put it on a stick like you would a hotdog and hold it over the fire. I think Osten just does not have it mentally for this game and gives up easily. Christa kicked butt and that is all there is to it. |
Enigma2 | Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 04:54 am     Christa rocks! Am afraid that I don't buy the 'hungry' excuse either. The Morganites have both rice and beans: and combined that equals a full protein. And now that Rupert has shown them how to fish, they should have another source of food. Osten should be following Dorothy off to Oz: he needs courage; he needs a heart; he needs a brain. And he could learn a great deal from Christa... |
Puttergirl | Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 07:20 am     Whit4you, I appreciate your sticking up for Osten that way, but the way I see it... Andrew hasn't had any more to eat than Osten and he held on. Osten has no inner strength. God help you if you really had to rely on him in a bad situation. |
Teachmichigan | Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 07:33 am     ROFLMAO Enigma....Maybe he'll get to meet the great and powerful Oz with a boot from the tribe next week! (one can only hope) Osten, repeat after me..."There's no place like home. There's no place like home." |
Needmylifeback | Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 08:02 am     Someone find the missing treasure and have some ruby slippers (Osten's size of course) in the bottom! |
Sunshyne4u | Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 04:52 pm     If I recall correctly, whit4you, the Morgans were SURPRISED that Jon went straight for their pot. Andrew looked over and said to his teammates" I thought I was told they were coming to take ___?___ not the POT!" * On topic- Christa is a BIG GIRL. Just her big bones would make it more likely she could support more weight. Sandra was a great choice to sit this one out. * Osten might be muscular......but he is pretty slim boned. Check out his wrists and knees. Someone earlier talked about Osten seeming "enhanced"...I would say it is because he looks to be a skinny guy who has pumped himself up! Now that he cannot maintain the 4000? calories needed to keep his physique he will be feeling the effects a lot more than anyone with more body fat. The burning of body fat gives you more energy than the body digesting its own protein from muscle tissue, if I recall correctly. |
Enigma2 | Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 05:53 pm     needmylifeback: I think you've got it. Osten is a displaced drag-queen... |
Bcandscott | Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 05:56 pm     Andrew said he thought they would take the SHOWER, not that he was told that they would, but that he THOUGHT that would be what they would want. Jon then said, well, I would like to wash my hair. Andrew let him use some shampoo. |
