PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Stoopid luxury items" |
Possibly the worst luxury items (aside from last season's skateboard):waterballoons? If they are not filled with water, then they would be referred to as "balloons." If filled with water, would you want to carry these on your hike to camp? High School Wrestling Jacket (from a 33 year-old guy) -- and -- he is named one of People Magazine's top 50 bachelors?
(I think Robb had a similar credit in his background). Does he still hang around the old school pickin' up the ladies? Magic 8 ball -- does the Magic 8 Ball have something to do with the John Nash gaming theory that Jeffy keeps mentioning?

1. "WTF?!?!?!?" |
Where to start, where to start...Finisher Medal: 2001 Wildflower Triathlon (Alex)- Ahhhhh, yes, I used to get these kind of things in elementary school. We called them "Thanks For Coming Out, Better Luck Next Time" ribbons. Not exactly the kind of thing I'd bring with me and totally useless, unless he's gonna melt it to make a spoon or something. Sage (Christy) - Is this like the spice? If so, it leaves me with one question. Why? Tis a shame really cuz I really wanted to like her. Magnetic Rings (Daniel) - What on God's green earth are magnetic rings? Are they those Q-Ray bracelets I see on late night TV? Water Balloons (Deena) - Yeah...what Mikey said. Daughter's Teddy Bear (Janet) - Not so much a dumb Luxury Item, just don't start rapping on the beach. Zeta Crown (Jenna) - Whatever the heck this is, it already sounds dumb. Magic 8 Ball (Rob) - Way to copy a college kid. What's wrong? Couldn't come up with something creative by yourself? Yeah, I'm done for now.

2. "RE: Stoopid luxury items" |
I thought I was being cynical, but the water balloons had me puzzled! Did she bring them with Riverside water, or are they deflated because then they're not water balloons anymore! The wrestling jacket was priceless, Fonz! The Zeta Crown must be a beauty pageant tiara she won and someone told her she looked like Catherine Zeta Jones. Magic 8 ball, because he IS an 8 ball! Weird! If he wins bachelor pad with a sign that says "open" all the time! He's the token virgin for S6, because he got way too excited about it! Barf! In defense of Christy's sage, sage is an herb (of course!) but in "cleansing" ceremonies, it it used to purify a toxic environment (ususally used in a dwelling, guess same thing in a camp) and drive out evil spirits. She may just have made a great choice. Then Joe Marathon brought his medallion. He's so afraid we may forget he RUNS! The magnetic rings I'll venture to say are the trendy "magnet therapy" kind you use on accupressure points to heal your big buffed body after strenuous challenges. Yuk!

What is up with Matthews HS letterman jacket?!?!?!?Is he stuck in the past?
What kind of a moron is he?
REAL HS athletes don't wear their HS letermans once they graduate and this one guy who was the best baseball pitcher and QB in the state NEVER even wore his. He gave it to his mother who was a principal at the local junior high. She wore it more times than he did. (he never wore it) Oh, and one more thing... A person that is in the restaurant business may do well in the game but they will NEVER WIN! NEVER! Look at Keith and Clay, yes they went far, just as I predicted, BUT they are faaaarrrrrr too annoying to win.

Congratulations Alex winner of S6

13. "RE: Stoopid luxury items" |
I have to disagree with the opinion about the Wrestling Jacket. Yes, a grown man wouldn't normally wear his jacket, but Matt figured out a way to bring something soft that he can lay his head on, and something warm, that if temperatures do get chilly at night, he can use it for warmth. Plus a good conversation starter with the younger crowd. When they ask on the application to list 3 items, you better make sure that all three items are going to be of some advantage to you, and yet, still be an interesting item, that the producers would pick for you to take. Butch bringing the banner means he probably also has a ready made pillow/blanket. (and remember how Paschal used his flag in a challenge?) JMHO,
Jo

Water balloons (Deena) are a total rip-off. They are small balloons that clearly say "water balloon" on the package. They cost twice as much as regular balloons and come with a mouth that is too small to fit over most faucets. So how do you fill them? Especially in the Amazon where there are no hoses? Dumb. Oh, wait. She's a lawyer. She'll spit into them.A school banner(Butch) signifies that when this loser is voted off he will make a speech about how he wanted to show all his "kids" that life is all about trying your best, and doing your best no matter what the circumstances are. Boring! Magnetic Rings (Daniel) are what he always uses to hold up his... oh, nevermind. I don't want my post deleted. Sketchbook and pen (Dave the Rocket Man) Smart. You can take notes & such. Make diagrams. Sketch out your plans for game dominance. And be the only man with toilet paper. Daughter's teddy bear (Janet). Smart if you use it for a pillow. Dumb if it's your only friend. Massage oil (Jeanne). Ha-ha! You're on an all-female tribe! Oh. Wait. Maybe she already knows that. Hmmmmm. Zeta Crown (Jenna). Isn't that some kind of Canadian whisky? Picture of her mother (Joanna). Boring. Goodbye, Joanna.

True, but it would also give your tribemates something to sneak a peek at, and learn your secrets and check out your tactics. Hummm but that of course, would be a great misdirection ploy. Maybe not so dumb after all. "Magic 8 ball will I make it to the end?"

Magic 8 ball -- does the Magic 8 Ball have something to do with the John Nash gaming theory that Jeffy keeps mentioning? And like others said, Its been done, by our own jeffGator. I wonder if he has been on these boards before and copied the idea from those threads. Or is it just a coincidence? Thoughts?

9. "RE: Stoopid luxury items (about the Zeta crown)" |
Jenna went to Duquesne University in Pittsbugh her freshmen year (when I was a sophomore there) which is where she pledged Zeta. She transfered out of Duq a few weeks after joining. One of my girlfriends was an active member of Zeta while Jenna pledged. She said the Zeta crown is a block of wood cut into the shape of a crown that all the sisters sign. Every pledge has one. No one in her chapter really heard from Jenna after she left and they don't understand why she would take her crown as her luxery item (apprently this is big news for the Duq Zeta chapter because my friend has received a number of emails about it).

Thanks for the info, Robbiefan51, and welcome to SB! Maybe she stayed active in Zeta at whichever school she transferred to. Or maybe it was the only crown MB would let her bring (not any beauty pageant ones). I guess a Princess just has to bring a crown to validate her lofty status--even if it is made of wood.Swami

I have to agree that the high school jacket is really lame. The banner however depending on it's size could come in handy...remember until they traded all thier shelter for more rice, that Colby's Texas flag was a great shelter therefore being one of the best luxury items of all time.

It's a nice-looking sig pic... however, it's 142 pixels in height. (right-click on the picture then click on "Properties" on the popup menu)Some time ago (I'm sure well before you ever found this place), a request was put out to reduce sig pics to a maximum height of 60 pixels to lessen the amount of time it takes to open up threads and scroll down to read user's comments. One idea is to have the "Survivor" and "Overlord" sandwiching the picture on the sides instead of stretching out over the picture? You can always put out a call to one of our bluemen, IceCat, who is always creating some amazing sig pics.

Oh, I wish... his money, that is, not his looks. If that's in reference to the sig pics -- it's not me, it's the blue men who passed that down before the start of S4 (I think it was) as there were complaints about huge sig pics taking up too much space. Don't shoot the messenger.

Pepe, I would never shoot you. Challenge you to a duel by slapping you with my glove, maybe, but shoot, never!!!! And my Bill Gates reference was only to your seemingly vast knowledge of this computer mumbo-jumbo. Now I have to try to get my pic down to 60 pixels (never did quite know what a pixel was) -- darn thing's at 80. hmmmph. As for Zeta - love the husband; hate the commercials - but didn't know she had a crown. (Thus I thought Zeta was a misprint, and the crown belonged to someone with superhuman powers - like Tina had over Colby or Amber had over Sir'rist.) Ah yes, back to Catherine - Probably has a doll named after her who drives a Porsche that some guy named Michael bought her. And to think I grew up with Barbie and Ken, and at the time Barbie had a one room "dream house". Again, I say hmmmmph. Bring 'em on, Burnitt. We're ready for the next bunch here at SB.

Seeing all this discussion going on, it got me to wondering just what the hell is a Zeta crown. So I googled it up and found this crown...
And it's apparently part of a frat thing for the Zeta Tau Alphas (Eta Kappa). So, great, we've got a Jughead coming onto the show. Bash on!

I suppose we should keep in mind that MB probably denied the castaways the opportunities to take some better luxury items along. Often the castaways are stuck with their third or fourth choice. I couldn't even think of five things that they would even allow me to take that were actually useful. My first choice: Listerine.

Zeta IS a sorority thang. Shame on us for not reading each and every post on this thread. See above for more information on the Zeta crown. However, had we read the whole thread, we wouldn't have been able to express our opinions in the creative way we did. So it's apparently a wooden crown. Hmmm the jacket and teddy bear are looking good right now.
Steffigurl: While Burnitt does choose what they can take, the choice is from among the things contestants bring with them. I can see bringing a golf club, a book, a journal, a flag, a piece of clothing, deck of cards, picture of loved ones, etc. A wooden crown -- I see kindling.

Actually, we have to give a little credit now that the first episode's done to Shawna and her EDIBLE massage oil - it's basically cooking oil and that can come in very handy for making horrible things actually cook (e.g., tortillas made out of that grain they all have, etc.). May not be as stupid an item as previously thought.
And what's with the flag/tarp exception? I thought after Colby used his flag as a tent those things were disallowed. Obviously the plasticky "believe in yourself" banner will be a great shelter, or cover for wood as suggested last night, etc.
