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."

"Tradewinds" |
In last night's show the "new guy" was explaining how the raft had to leave right away or they would be stuck for another couple of months due to hurricane season. He demonstrated that the winds were coming out of the north by holding up the plastic bag.
In the closing shot last night when Katie was slumped on the beach it looked to me like the bag in the background had shifted to the south. It was blurry but can anyone confirm this for me?

I taped the episode, but I didn't notice. Good catch!I expect the whole tradwinds thing is to set up whatever disaster befalls the rafters.

I think the whole point of noting the tradewinds, and them changing with the seasons, is to give an explanation as to how/why the raft ends up back at the island. They shove off quickly to set sail with the favorable winds and head out to see being carried by wind and currents. Unfortunately they left too late and a short while into their trip the winds change, current patterns shift, and wouldn’t you know it… we are back to the island. Sure they will land somewhere else, maybe they find the rest of the plane, the black rock, or the ‘others’, but they will return (at least the ones who survive the experience). This is the obvious conclusion based on the science teacher’s deduction that the winds will shift directly from North to South.  TenPin
I am a science teacher, and unless this guy has lived/researched out on a pacific island, or oceanography is his passion, his portrayal is pretty corny.

I understand that. I was just making the point that, with the shifting of the plastic bag, the monsoon season appears to be upon them quicker than the "new guy" was predicting so they don;t even have a shot at leaving early like they beleived.
