New Survivor Season
 
Now, I haven't watched Survivor in years. I think the last one I watched was the season in Africa. I just lost interest.

But I must watch this year!

Jon Dalton, 29
Occupation: Art consultant
Hometown: Danville, Va.

Danville is where I went to college! I can't wait to see that little redneck city represented on TV.

Just had to share ;)

djtestudo 09-03-2003 06:00 AM

I have a feeling that if he is on "Survivor", he will not be a good representation of your town...

Fremen 09-03-2003 06:13 AM

Well, for myself, I can't get enough of Survivor.
I've heard it's supposed to be more intense this year.
I saw a promo of the survivors jumping overboard and not being allowed to take anything with them but the clothes on their backs.

I didn't get to see the first two seasons of it and was wondering if they would be out on DVD at anytime.
Does anybody know?

Just my college town ;) He'll either be a good old boy country hick, or a pretentious ass. Since he's an art consultant, I'm gonna go with pretentious ass.

I haven't heard about the previous seasons being on DVD. I'm suprised that hasn't happened yet.

Mr. Spacemonkey 09-03-2003 12:46 PM

I'll probably be watching it this year. I've seen all the others so i probably won't miss this one.

crfpilot 09-03-2003 02:14 PM

I'll definitely be watching. I was going to start this thread as a matter of fact, but you beat me to it. I couldn't get into the Outback one but have watched the rest.

bundy 09-03-2003 07:47 PM

i love Survivor (well, the Outback and Amazon seasons to be precise).

i´m just this total American (pseudo)reality TV junkie!!

but, as usual, we´ll probably be getting months after its over... so i´ll just have to find out who wins off you guys.

pornisbadforyou 09-04-2003 04:21 PM

last season was my favorite.. i thought it was totally underrated.. no one watched it.

but for some reason, the group dynamic was much better and it stayed pretty competitive right up to the end. plus, the DRAMA. it ruled.

i will definitely be watching this next season.

krd913 09-04-2003 05:53 PM

I will be watching this year I like the ideal of them getting nothing but clothes on thier backs but I bet there will be alot of food and water easy to find on the island

warrrreagl 09-04-2003 08:22 PM

I love Survivor, and I'll watch every episode just like always. By the way, The Smoking Gun has some great criminal reports on the current cast.

Fallen 09-05-2003 10:50 AM

I thought it was a cool idea when it first came out. I got disappointed when I learned that they really didn't have to survive anything. Their food and supplies were given to them. :(

crfpilot 09-18-2003 08:56 PM

Well, what did you think? Who do you like?

I liked the opening where they got to go to the village to barter for stuff. Rupert stealing the other tribes shoes and stuff to sell them was pretty clever, I would've done the same thing probably.

I laughed my ass off when I saw that! :lol:
Good t.v.

It looks more interesting already.
Personally, I wish Tijuana would have gotten booted, but Nicole was a good choice, also.
I thought Tijuana was going to come to blows with the shopkeeper there for a second.
I wonder if she had, would they have shown it?
Sandra was doing some fine negotiating in the village, wasn't she? You see where they compared Drakes' bartering skills to Morgans'?
Made me almost ashamed to be American. Also made me want to reach into the screen and smack Tijuana upside the noggin.

Anyone know if they're allowed to kill snakes for food?

Also, can someone explain that speargun to me?
I didn't see any 'gun' part to it. Just them pulling back on something, then the spear shooting at the fish.

As to who I like, it's gotta be Rupert. He seems like a regular Joe.
He even looks like a pirate. :D

warrrreagl 09-19-2003 04:35 AM

I'll be glad when Tijuana's whiny ass is voted off. Jon seems like somebody who badly needs to be slapped. I like the rest of the cast.

You just described the spear gun perfectly. It's a projectile launched via a spring. That's all there is to it.

It's referred to as a gun because it is a projectile.

Daval 09-19-2003 04:55 AM

I was extremely distraught when Nicole was voted off. She was a massage therapist who admitted to wearing nothing under her dress and she had nice cans!

I was yelling at my TV screen.

Averett 09-19-2003 05:24 AM

Eh... it was alright. I doubt I'll watch the whole season.

I don't think you'll get your wish for awhile. As long as Ousten (and what kind of name is that, really?) is around, he wants to keep Tijuana. He thinks he'll "get some."

Bleech.

Drake's rule. Morgan's blow. Kind hope Ms. Boy Scout makes it to merge, but I also think the Morgan tribe will be visiting the coucil fire quite a bit. Her chances are slim.

The Morgan tribe seems to have no unity and are as collectively intelligent as dryer lint. The poor guy they elected leader might as well tattoo "TARGET" right across his forehead. There were so many worthy folks to boot out last night, I couldn't pick just one.

And Rupert is my new personal hero.:D

JohnnyRock 09-19-2003 09:19 AM

Thought it was pretty good--needs some more hotties....I'll watch it during SmackDown! commercials...

To the guy/gal commecting on Jon Dalton:

In a few interviews that Jeff Probst has done, he talked about how much of an obnoxious ass this guy is. During Tribal Council while Probst was trying to give his little speeches, Dalton would start talking to him, trying to screw him up. Probst says he hated the motherfucker .. and that's a quote i believe.

...and on one of the later episodes (supposedly the one when Dalton gets kicked out), Dalton drops some sort of bombshell on everyone at Tribal Council. Probst said that it's the greatest lie ever told on Survivor.

I'll look for the article.

Edit::::

here's one of them - http://www.survivornews.net/news.php?id=127

Here's some more on the lie from zap2it and some interesting tidbits about upcoming eps. and next season.

'Survivor' Lie Fools Probst, Fuels New Season
(Wednesday, September 17 05:18 PM)
By Rick Porter



LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - After six turns as the host of "Survivor," Jeff Probst pretty much knows his job cold. Every now and then, though, something on the show catches him by surprise.

That happened during his stint off the coast of Panama for "Survivor: Pearl Islands," the seventh edition of the game, which premieres at 8 p.m. ET Thursday (Sept. 18) on CBS. For a time, he says he fell for "the greatest lie ever told on 'Survivor.' "

"It's brilliant. It's brutal and it's brilliant and it totally suckered me," says Probst, who, naturally, won't divulge who told the lie or what its ramifications were. "My first reaction was 'Motherf----r,' and then my second reaction was 'Wow, that's amazing.' "

The fantastic fib would seem to fit well with the overall theme of "Pearl Islands," which is piracy. The two tribes are called Drake and Morgan, after two English pirates (Sir Francis Drake and Capt. Henry Morgan) who sacked Spanish forts in the 16th and 17th centuries. Probst says working with that theme helped keep the show fresh for him and the crew this time.
"That was the creative box we worked in," he says. "[We were thinking] what would pirates do, how do we set them adrift, how do we do a mutiny, who can we make walk the plank."

The duplicity started right away. The 16 players were told to dress for a publicity photo while on the boat to their destination. Instead, though, Probst informed them that they'd be setting up camp with only the clothes they were wearing.

"It's not a huge twist in a sense, because it's just clothes," he says. "But it spins the game so differently from the beginning and puts them in a different mindset of being resourceful."

The two tribes were also given 100 Balboas -- the equivalent of $100 -- to buy supplies in a small village before being taken to their camps. They could also barter using the few items of clothing they had with them.

"What's interesting is one tribe comes out of there like they just robbed Fort Knox -- they have every thing," Probst says. "The other tribe comes out with not much more than when they went in. In fact, these idiots go back to camp with cash in hand. ... That's what makes the show still fascinating, is 'What are they thinking?' " <---- this paragraph cracks me up! :lol:

Because "Survivor" was essentially the starting point for the current glut of unscripted series, and because it's delivered consistently to a loyal audience, Probst thinks the show can outlive its newer, lesser spawn.

"I can see fatigue setting in with reality [shows], without question, because there's a lot of crap out there," he says. "Do I think it will affect 'Survivor'? No I don't. ... I think we're going to be around, I think 'American Idol' will be around, I think 'The Bachelor' will be around. Because they all touch on something, either fulfilling a dream or finding love or, in 'Survivor,' the adventure."

To make sure of that, though, the show's producers will keep coming up with new wrinkles. Probst promises more than just a grandiose lie by one of the players this time around.

"There's ... a very, very regrettable event that happens, and the person to whom it happens is going to regret it ... more than they have any idea right now," he says. "I couldn't believe it when it happened, and I can't wait for it to play out.

"There's also a huge twist to come that this time next year we'll be talking about, and you'll have an opinion on whether you loved or hated it."

Now I ask you, Is this a great show or what? :crazy:

Edit: Can a mod fix the link, please? I don't have the know-how, it seems. :)
Thank you.

It's ok. We know you're kidding. I'm sure all those luxurious meals that the crew gives them is what makes them all lose 30 pounds.

Derwood 09-20-2003 05:39 AM

Oh, and I'm now calling Rupert "Son of Gloin".

gold star to those who get the reference

DownwardSpiral 09-20-2003 11:08 AM

Survivor is still running? Jeez, I lost interest during the first one.

Troublebot 09-26-2003 06:37 AM

What did everyone think about last night?

Morgan sucks sooooo bad. No team unity, crappy leadership and too many "alpha males." I'll be very surprised the first time Drake has to go to tribal council.

As usual, Rupert is the man. The other idiot from his tribe loses the spear tip and comes back with some whiny story. Rupert just goes out and finds it.

Chubby guys rule. :)

BonesCPA 09-26-2003 12:15 PM

Because of schedule conflicts, I haven't kept up with the past couple of seasons, but I've seen the first two of this one and a thought keeps popping up in my mind: this year seems to have less of a survival theme and more of a piracy theme. I am not saying it is bad, but I am not expecting to see most of the players losing large amounts of weight. I've got a wait and see attitude on this new theme.

This year seems to me to be a lot more about survival than the previous seasons I've seen. (3 through to the present)
They started out with just the clothes on their backs.
They had to bargain for a lot of things in the village with only a small amount of money and only their own know-how.
So far, they haven't been given any food or blankets. Just water.
They make their own shelters.
Where's the not surviving part?
Granted, with the upcoming treasure chest of goodies, one team gets extra stuff, but the other will not.
(As far as I know, that is.) :)

This season is pretty interesting to me.
In the previous seasons that I watched, they had the food challenges and whatnot, and so the people were periodically fed.
Not this one............Yet.

I look forward to the rest of the season with anticipation.

Derwood 09-26-2003 04:54 PM

I think this season will go down as one of the best. I have yet to be disappointed in Survivor so far, and this season is no different. I'm gonna be really pissed when they vote Rupert off, because I think he's my favorite cast member of all time.

Troublebot 09-27-2003 04:31 AM

Right. From the beginning of this season, your success depended on how you acted as a team. One team had little leadership, rushed throught the town and got few supplies. The other team got together with a plan, relied on the strength of one of their players, and left with a multitude of treasures. It has made a diffrence ever since.

Only two episodes in and this is quickly turning into one of my favorite seasons.

Anyone looking forward to the "all star" season they're planning for the spring? That should start filming within the next few weeks.

That sounded good when I thought it would be celebrities.
I'm not sure about past contestants, though....nah, who am I kidding?
It'll be great!

If they pick the right players and an interesting location.

They need to make it a more hardcore survival experience for them since they've been through it before.

Spinach_Indeed 09-28-2003 05:28 AM

This is the third season I've watched. I watched the first two, and the first 2-3 episodes of the third Survivor (Got turned off at once).

By chance, I happened to catch the first Episode of this season. I'm really glad I did. Not only does it feature piracy, but... Rupert. Rupert IS the best Survivor... ever. Period. Don't touch Rupert. I'm going to be very upset when (or if) he gets voted out.

I was very sad to see Miss Boyscout and Ryan get seperated. Those two got stuck in the wrong tribe. Poor fellows.

Mr. Moe 09-28-2003 07:31 AM

I only watched the 2nd season, after my sweet Elizibeth left there just wasn't much point anymore.

johnnymysto 09-29-2003 06:28 AM

Oh man, Elizabeth was the cutest Survivor contestant yet.

I hate that there always seems to be a great team, and a stupid team. The stupid team makes me so mad. In this case, they don't act as a team, they whine too much, and they vote off the wrong people! I can't believe they voted off Ryan, who wanted to stay and play and be a team, and they kept the whiny crybaby who was the biggest, strongest person in the game! Oh well, they'll probably have to split the teams again, like they did in Africa.

Troublebot 09-29-2003 06:40 AM

Sometimes I wish they wouldn't split the teams. I'd love to see what would happen if one team completely dominated and never went to Tribal Council till every member of the other tribe was gone.

After being together for so long, working together as a team, how would they act when they had to take out one of their own?

Sounds interesting to me.

bundy 09-29-2003 06:54 AM

Woohoo!

we´ve finally just had the first show.

Averett, that Jon Dalton guy is already on my nerves, i hate to think about how much pain he´s giving the people on that island.

i love Blackbeard. that guy is a champion.

I'm sure the producers weren't happy about the either. Not good when one of the better looking cast members gets voted off. Especially after the whole 'no bra' thing.

gwr_gwir 09-30-2003 09:48 PM

(side note) personally, I wonder what would happen if, say, the next "Survivor" was held in New York City - the contestants are each given a nine millimeter with a single full clip, a switchblade knife, $5 Canadian cash, and have to fend for themselves in the ghetto. (/side note)

I believe that the first two seasons (and possibly number 3) are already out on DVD and video. But don't hold me to it. I've only really watched season #2, when I had a personal stake in how things went.....knowing one of the contestants made the show interesting to me, and I just haven't found that same level of involvement in any subsequent episodes.

As for the "All-Star" season, I'm not too sure how things are going to turn out for that one. I'm betting that they get the most high-profile past contestants (who didn't win - with maybe an exception for Richard Hatch) and let them duke it out for another shot at the million. If they do it right, then it'll be worth watching; but I'm not going to predict anything at this point in time.

....and as for filming, they would probably be leaving at the end of October or early November for the location and filming, to be completed by the beginning part of December.

Oh, and one last thing: if you think there's drama on the t.v. screen, you really ought to hear what goes on among the contestants while the episodes are airing! Some of those conversations are a riot!!!

almostaugust 10-02-2003 03:27 AM

Does anybody remeber ROB from the tropical one?? He was awesome. He was so stupid and funny and quick to anger. Shiann was such a bitch in that series. I actually did a jig when she got booted.

Who did you know and what kind of things did you hear? And did you know in advance who the final two were etc.?

You can't just leave us in the lurch here.

That's it.....BEG!!BEG!!BEG!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Okay, just kidding on the begging and evil laughter thing. You want to know? I'll tell....

My brother-in-law was a contestant (Mike - fell in a fire on Season #2) and I just happened to be a guest at his house for a few months when I moved back to Michigan; this coincided with the airing of Season #2, so I got to hear quite a bit from the other contestants - and meet a few of them in the process.

No, I did not know who the final 2 contestants were. As a whole, the contestants did not discuss things like that at all. What they did discuss were the little behind-the-scenes things that didn't make it into each episode. But perhaps my all-time favorite would be the reaction to Jerri's Today Show interview the day after the episode aired where she was voted off.....

Mike and I were out running around town, so his parents agreed to tape the early-morning interviews for him. Having finished our little missions for the day, we stopped by their place and popped the videotape into the VCR. Soon enough, the interview comes on and there's Jerri trying her best to look sweet and non-bitchy for the cameras, smiling widely and telling the interviewer how she really wasn't as vicious and heartless as she appeared on the show - that there's 72 hours of taping from several cameras that has to be edited down for each 1-hour episode.....

She went on to mention that there were many "tender moments" among the contestants which never were aired. Now in a supreme twist of cosmic irony (okay, coincidence), it was just at that moment that one of Mike's 2 cell phones rings. It's Tina (the eventual winner) calling to ask Mike if he watched the Today Show interview; when he told her that we were watching it right then and there, she asked if we'd seen the "tender moments" part. He answered that it had just happened and Tina came back with a comment that she would have loved to have seen some of those from her! That all she ever saw was attitude and bitchiness.

As this is happening, Mikes other cell phone rings. Now you have to know this about Mike - being on one phone will never stop him from answering and talking on the other one....even if he's driving his car! So he answers the other phone and guess who it is???? Colby! Colby goes through the same list of questions that Tina just posed, and comes back with the same response Tina did - that he too would have loved to have seen something other than Jerri's attitude. It was just too priceless!

And then there's the one about Colby never getting recognized. I heard this one from Mike, so I can only tell it as a third-hand recollection.... According to Mike, Colby and Nick (also from Survivor 2) went to a nightclub for a night on the town. At one point, several girls came over to Colby and one of them cleared her throat to ask him a question.... Colby, thinking that his notoriety would finally work for him, was all ears - but the girl wanted to ask him if the guy with him was Nick from Survivor.

Colby was devastated. I would be too. Imagine: you make it to the very end, and nobody knows who you are!

Well, gotta run. Glad I could help answer your questions.

Daval 10-02-2003 09:33 AM

Mike was the best guy on Survivor 2, I was really dismayed when he got hurt. Glad he was fine afterwards though - looked freaking painful! You should get him on here to act as our Survivor insider and commentator :)

I onyl really watched Survivor 2, havent gotten into the rest before or after, although I have been watching this one.

Sleepyjack 10-04-2003 07:01 AM

hmmm like temptation island and some other reality shows i used to watch, i think i might write this one off. The barter stuff was ok at the start but then it just seemed like the same shit different day. Jeff Probst is a pretty good host though.

Monre 10-04-2003 04:18 PM

when he caught that pig i was dancing and prancing like a 4 year old girl coming home from dance.

Sensei 10-04-2003 10:30 PM

Man, I LOVE Survivor. Of the seven seasons, I've only missed one episode-- when my TV recorded the wrong channel :( . Morgan needs to stop getting owned. And while we're at it, let's hope Michelle + Darrah make it to the Boobie board someday!!

grayman 10-05-2003 02:26 PM

Am I the only person who thinks that Morgan should have voted off Osten at the last Tribal Council? He has a piss-poor attitude and the only contribution he has for the tribe is his strength. We all saw how well that worked out for him last week. I sincerely doubt that there will be another challenge that will be based so exclusively on physical strength, so Osten has very little value in my eyes.
Also, I think that Drake should sit down and agree that if the show mixes up the tribes, that whichever new tribe has a majority of Drake members should throw the immunity challenges and vote off Morgan members. This seems like the best idea to me, since they will almost certainly mix up the tribes since Morgan has to sweep the remaining immunity challenges before the merge in order to have equal numbers after the merge. I think it is crap that they mix up the tribes, but it is probably the only way to keep it interesting after the merge.
Didn't Richard Hatch's tribe have a large majority after the merge and just picked off the other tribe one by one?

why the hell is this still on the air? never have watched more than 10 seconds of the first season/run, and that was not by choice. What are they up to now, take 5 or 6 of the idea?

Unlike "The Real World", "Survivor" reinvents itself each season. It's always got new twists and turns, which is perfect because it doesn't allow new contestants to plan their long term strategies based on past seasons. The challenges are always great too.

Overall, I just think it's a great social experiment. The show really brings out people's true personalites. When you are tired and hungry, it's tough to put on a happy face for people.

hansthemolemann 10-06-2003 01:51 AM

I love this season, missed the last couple though, but enjoy it again

johnnymysto 10-07-2003 07:59 AM

The idiots are at it again! I just watched my taped copy of Thursday's episode, and the crappy tribe lost again, and voted out the wrong person AGAIN!! Mark Burnett must hate this stuff.

Daval 10-10-2003 04:19 AM

Well well well. The Drake tribe finally lost a member. I'm glad it wasnt the girl (I forget her name), she is kinda nice to look at!

Rupert going to Morgan for 24 hours? It will be very interesting to see how he reacts, he seems to be a hyper-loyal type guy, and having to betray his own tribe for 24 hours will surely be hard on him - i'm sure he'll take it very seriously.

I only saw the last 30 minutes of the show so missed the rewards challenge and treasure chest - would anyone mind recapping what happened? what was the reward and what was in the chest?

And do you think that Drake threw that competition as they were hinting at before the immunity challenge?

johnnymysto 10-10-2003 04:54 AM

Drake won the reward challenge, thanks to Morgan's Osten being a complete crybaby. They had to dig puzzle pieces out of the beach and get them from the water, too. When Osten went into the water to get one, he dove down once, came back up, and shouted that he was about to drown. Whatever - he's the muscle-i-est guy ever to be on Survivor and he's also the whiniest. Anyway, Drake won and got the last part of the treasure map. They also won an old-fashioned sewing machine and a lot of fabric. Cool.

When they opened the treasure, they found lots of food items, but some of them had leaked or spoiled, so it was a bittersweet find. They also found silverware, some wine, and other stuff.

Drake definitely threw the immunity challenge. You could tell that some members didn't even put up a fight before going in the drink. Personally, I think that the producers threw in the member-switch deal just to mess with Drake. Oh well. That goober John is going to have a rude awakening when he realizes that his position of power will be GONE with Rupert's return. The only reason he was a swing vote is because Rupert wasn't there. He better lose that cocky attitude before the next 3 days.

Troublebot 10-10-2003 05:10 AM

I have a feeling Jon's cocky attitude isn't going anywhere. Could Probst have been more pissed at him at T.C.?

Can't see Rupert giving up any info to Morgan. Actually, he's in a great position right now. People in Drake see how much they need him. Morgan realizes what an asset he is. Any guy who can fish like he can and doesn't get on your nerves probably won't be a target for awhile.

Glad that idiot Burt got the boot. Love it when someone thinks they have power and it blows up in their face.

Fremen 10-10-2003 05:14 AM

I see johnnymysto and Troublebot have answered, now here's my version, D. ;)

I believe you are talking about, Christa, the blonde with her hair in braids. I agree, even though her voice is kinda strange sounding to me. ;)

Ahh, I don't see it as betraying his tribe, I see it as an infiltration and an oppurtunity to do a little recon for Drake.

I only saw the last 30 minutes of the show so missed the rewards challenge and treasure chest - would anyone mind recapping what happened? what was the reward and what was in the chest?
The teams were supposed to collect puzzle pieces from two places; underneath the beach and out in the water.
They were to switch off teamates, some to swim out and dive down to retrieve pieces attached on the ocean floor, and the others to dig up the pieces on the beach.
I don't remember who started the competition, but Tijuana was one of the swimmers for Morgan, and she essentially lost the match for them.
She couldn't get her puzzle piece up until after numerous tries.
Osten was up next to swim out for Morgan, but, he "seemed" to be having a little trouble swimming when he got out there to the site. (whiney bastard) :rolleyes:
One of his teamates had to swim out there to get him.
Anyway, Drake won again, as you know.
The reward was another "raid" on Morgan, they took their lantern this time,(Their only lantern, I believe. *heh-heh*)
and the third piece of the map.
In the chest was some moldy-smelling blankets, a jar of chocolate candies, candles, a bad smelling mosquito net, beef jerky, some unidentified canned goods, and a few other things I'm not sure about.
Some of the items leaked or something, 'cause when they opened the chest they were hit in the face with a bad odor.
They were very dissapointed in their treasure, to say the least. :D


And do you think that Drake threw that competition as they were hinting at before the immunity challenge?
Yes and no.
They picked amongst the strongest players to sit out the challenge, but the rest gave it their all, in my opinion.
Rupert was adamant about not throwing it, but he said he would sit it out if he was able, he just wouldn't overtly throw it.
With the stronger people left in Morgan, and Drakes' strongest sitting out, it's no wonder Morgan finally won one.
Are these helpful, Daval?


Daval 10-10-2003 06:04 AM

Thanks a lot guys, great recaps, fills in all of the blanks for me!

G5_Todd 10-10-2003 07:41 AM

this is a good season...first one i have followed since the original......

grayman 10-10-2003 12:44 PM

Wow, Burton's idea to throw the challenge really worked out well for him.
Did anyone else notice that Osten cost his tribe 3 straight challenges? He sank his own boat in the reward challenge last week, lost the tug-of-war, and cost them way too much time with his drowning theatrics in 6 feet of water. I know that he put up a good show in the tug-of-war, but it came down to him and he lost, period. Andrew insisted that they kept Osten for his strength and physicality in the cahllenges, but he hasn't helped yet. He cost them more time in the reward challenge this week than Tijuana, although I don't know why he went into the water knowing that he can't swim. At least Lil and skinny Ryan tried to contribute at camp.

Baldrick 10-10-2003 04:26 PM

Damn it all, I'm hooked... After mocking all of the Survivor fans for the past few years, I admit it, I'm enjoying this.

And I blame it all on Rupert...

frankgrimes 10-12-2003 11:13 PM

yeah, i loved burton's decision to throw the competition coming back to bite him in the ass. the thing is, his tribe is smart enough not to do just what the leader says, unlike morgan who just keep voting out whoever andrew says. follow that strategy, and sooner or later your name will come up next, unless you're andrew himself. morgan should get some balls and turf andrew, like drake did to burton.

wondash 10-13-2003 04:40 AM

What's really interesting is now both tribes have 6 members, at least for the next challenge. The question is, will Rupert give his best effort to help the Morgan team win? I wonder if they'll throw in another twist by letting Rupert decide which team to stay on?

totally agree.

Rupert is such great television talent... esp when he´s compared to whiny wankers like Osten.
i can´t wait til Morgan ditch Andrew... that guys an even bigger annoyance than Osten to me.
btw, i love checking out this thread... because we´re one week behind you guys, so i can check out whos getting screwed before it happens here.

dailyjo2003 10-13-2003 05:53 AM

Last season was great, lots of twists, fun to see how the female tribe reacted and then defeated the guys at some physical challenges. This season's pirate theme is a little much. The original concept was focused on what type of person or background would allow a person to survive. A Navy Seal versus a doctor for example. They have moved away from that a little bit this season, but it is still entertaining. The show allows you to get to know the people - if only on a superficial level.

It was my understanding that Rupert would only spend about 24 hours with the other tribe. Then again, I was too busy yelling at Drake for their stupid throwing of the competition to clearly hear what was going on. :)

He might participate with Morgan on a luxury challenge. That could prove interesting.

jerseyboy 10-13-2003 12:40 PM

Why the hell did they throw the challenge?? It makes absolutely no sense. As long as they maintained their advantage through the merge then they could pick off the other tribe one by one until they are forced to knock off their own. It seems like only stupid people make it on this show.

I'd also like to know what huge mistake this guy makes when he "falls on his face" and what his huge surprise was.

johnsmith 10-13-2003 12:43 PM

The Drake tribe are idiots for losing on purpose. They had a chance to put a final nail in Morgan's coffin at that challenge.

eirelander 10-13-2003 01:55 PM

I agree. If nothing else it's giving Morgan a little momentum going into the reward challenge, in which - I predict - Rupert will play an instumental role because the reward will be simply too good to pass up for the benefit of appearing loyal to Drake.

I usually root for the underdog, but in this case I was all Drake because Morgan was simply pathetic. However, Morgan is looking better. Esp. with Rupert.

wondash 10-24-2003 09:18 AM

Anyone still watching? At least the teams are tied up now.

Daval 10-24-2003 09:51 AM

If Rupert had been voted out last night I probably would have stopped watching.

Troublebot 10-24-2003 09:53 AM

Man, I can't believe Rupert came that close to getting voted out last night. I can't imagine they're giving this much screen time to someone who doesn't, at least, make the final three.

Jon's going to get his ass kicked. Next time Drake goes to T.C., he's a cinch to be getting snuffed. I'd imagine Probst will enjoy that. :)

Any ideas on what the "Past coming back to haunt you." line in the previews is about?

Well, the 2 people who voted for Rupert were Trish, who was voted out, and Jon. The preview shows Rupert laying the verbal smackdown on Jon when they get back from TC, which I can't wait for. Jon thinks he's the "Boston Rob" or Rob from the Amazon of this season, but he's way too openly cocky to last.

As for the past returning, i have a few guesses:

1. One of the challenges involved having to play with/against the people who have already been voted off.

2. People who have been voted off get to rearrange the tribes.

3. Someone who has been voted off gets to return to the game.

Fremen 10-24-2003 02:18 PM

Someone needs to skewer Jon on a spit and cook him.
After a necessary length of time tenderizing him, of course. (preferably with fists) ;)

Do you think they will find out he squealed to Morgan about Drake throwing the challenge?
Could that be what they mean about the past coming back to haunt them?

Well, it seems Derwood is correct. I heard on a promo for Survivor that one or some of the tribe members voted off, get to come back.
It didn't say in what capacity, but it made it seem like they were rejoining the game to stir things up.

I can't wait to see if they bring back what's-her-name with the no panties. ;)

almostaugust 10-28-2003 02:51 AM

Before the premier, there was some talk that one of the women (Nichole) had no panties. But in reality, I think it was only a bra that she wasn't wearing.

Daval 10-31-2003 05:26 AM

The no underwear girl with the huge cans is back!!!!


So who loved last nights episode? I thought the twist was awesome and a whole new dynamic to the Survivor show - I'm thrilled!

I've been a solid Drake supporter since day one, but I must say I was rooting for the Outcasts like mad during that challenge!

I woulda much rather of seen that little puke Jon? leave. That guy pisses me off just looking at him.

And I hope Osten in real life does not live this down, what a whiny little pussy, my body shutting down my hairy ass, he has no balls and no guts.

wondash 10-31-2003 06:07 AM

Very interesting twist. Assuming this had been a planned event (keeping the voted off survivors on a similar diet to the remaining survivors), then what would have happened if the tribes had not been even at 6 and 6? But all it really achieved was a way to extend the number of episodes. It's not likely that either of the two Outcasts can make it to the end.

johnnymysto 10-31-2003 06:09 AM

Screw Osten!!! I'm glad Jeff finally asked him "what the hell are you doing out here?" Osten pissed away his opportunity at a million bucks, which sends a big 'up yours' to thousands of people who would have loved to be in his place. He's the weakest person to EVER be on the show, and that includes all the anorexic girls who've been on.

I don't understand why Drake didn't send Jon packing, though. Unless it's because if Burton comes back, he and Shawn will be big buddies forever.

thats exactly why they didnt vote jon off. That dude is a pompous ass tho.

Troublebot 10-31-2003 10:10 AM

May I just say that this season, Probst rocks?

Seriously, he's doling out more shit to castaways and taking absolutely zero. last night was a perfect example. Osten doesn't get the usual, "the tribe has spoken," he gets a snide, "go home." Classic.

The only reason I can see Drake keeping Shawn over Jon is because of the possibility Burton comes back. How tense would it be if Trish came back? Personally, I think they'll but the outcasts on different tribes from the ones they started on. It'll give them a fighting chance.

And what the hell is up with Savage on Morgan? He's awfully concerned about the outcasts coming back and he seems to be turning into a bit of a paranoid freak because of it.

Derwood 10-31-2003 11:34 AM

Not only no "The Tribe has spoken", but no closing remarks at the end either.

Fremen 10-31-2003 03:47 PM

Ol' Rupert came within a hairs' breadth of cleaning Jons' clock at the beginning of the episode last night.
I'm glad he didn't, but a part of me wished he would have.

That punk Osten better have some understanding friends back home, or he's going to be one miserable sob.

Are they going to keep adding Outcast members to Drake and Morgan if one of the original teams lose, or was that a one time thing, do you think?

Btw, I want to say, Christa is getting sexier and sexier with every episode. :love:

I think that they will merge at the start of the show with the 2 new outcast. Since the two outcast are immune to the next concil, don't be suprise to see Jon switch with them and try to kill former Drake one by one. The only one who can make it is Ruppert. This guy is the best player without even knowing it!

Savage, Ruppert and Ryan O int the final 3.

Side note; Osten is one hell of a loser. Saw that coming since the second show. No final words even on the web site of survivor. Go home poster boy!

Plan9Senior 11-01-2003 06:26 PM

Osten is the biggest pussy I have seen on a reality show. Not only was it pitiful to watch a man act in such a manner, but it is pretty lame that he filled up a spot that somebody else would have loved to take. I found it hilarious that the host basically told him to go without even going through the voting. Total salt in the wounds...loved it :D

frankgrimes 11-02-2003 06:30 PM

Trouble- Savage is fine when theres no threat to him, he knows, as leader, he calls the shots as to who gets voted off, but as soon as theres any hint of a threat, such as someone joining the tribe whos not under his power, he freaks out. I think hes a pompous asshole.

frankgrimes 11-02-2003 09:51 PM

hey, for those of you who watched joe schmoe, did probst remind you of host ralph when he dismissed osten? "you're dead to us. please leave!" he would have loved smashing his collectors plate!

warrrreagl 11-03-2003 05:45 AM

I would bet that Osten is not back for the reunion show either. Possibly no David Letterman? CBS invested money in this lame pussy, and they can't be happy about that. They need to make a statement to future contestants. Also, think of the other thousands of people that he beat out to get on the show. Grrrrr!

The returning Outcasts will have to be protected by either a merge, or sending them to the opposite tribes. I heard Jeff say that they will be automatically immune for the next tribal council, too.
