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."

It's also worth noting that Veruca Salt (and her talented cohorts), who work off of nothing but the editing of the show, had pegged virtually all of the long-term players (Danni, Steph, Rafe, Cindy) well in advance of the finale. They have a thread in Spoilers that is fascinating reading for the Survivor nut in you. Veruca even had picked steph and Danni as her final two very early on. It's incredible how well she reads into MB's editing. If you ever have a decent amount of free time, go back and read through the "thread of threads" that comprise this season's work. Great stuff.

Yes, but come on. You gotta believe there are Survivor leaks and a lot of that goes into things. My wife said she heard Danni was one of the final two...this was in the first or second week of the show. When something is taped so far in advance it is highly possible that one of the hundreds of people working on the show leaked something. Some people say it is their Sherlock Holmes skills but I gotta believe most of the spoiling is based on leaks. I avoid the spoiler more because of the leaks then I do for the spoiling aspect.

Yes, there are certainly leaks out there that make the spoiling easy at times. ChillOne ruined a whole season for me and the famous Snewser is nothing more than somebody with a really good source - but not so much a true spoiler. However, I firmly believe that Veruca is legit. She's been doing this for a long time and is uncannily good at it. This season she made her (correct) call on a vast majority of the long term players after the first episode, and she gives great detail on exactly why she feels the way she does, and it's all based on the editing. She's the real deal!After the ChillOne season, I avoided the Spoiler board like the plague because it took all the fun out of it, but over the last couple of seasons, I've been drawn back just to read VS's thread. I go in, read her thread and then get out and hope that none of the other Spoiler posters has gone and started a thread with a giveaway title ("Danni wins...guaranteed!") that catches my eye. Most all of the posters there are very good about not putting real spoiler content in the title, so that's rarely a problem. So I totally agree with your desire to avoid the spoilers... I just have a thing for Veruca's powers of observation. She's amazing.

4. "Love speculation, don't care for the spoilers." |
I gotta agree with you, Jacko, regarding staying away from the spoiler threads completely.I first came on these boards during Amazon, and was fascinated by all the spoilers. (I think that was the famous ChillOne year, yes?) As seasons went by, I found out that I enjoy the show more if I don't 'know' who's going to the end -- I like to be surprised. I like to hold out hope that someone will pull off a major change-up. HOWEVER, I still love to speculate. I love Veruca's editing thread mentioned above. And when I've gone into spoilers JUST to read that thread -- trying to avoid Uncle Cameraman's Neice...I still end up seeing more than I want to. So I've been staying away. *sigh* At least I get more work done now. I kinda wish there were two seperate threads -- spoilers and speculation. Don't know if that's feasable for the mods though -- there's already so much Survivor traffic.

I also found that playing all the predictive games on this board can indicate towards spoilers - when I was playing at the beginning of the season, by looking at other people's entries it became pretty obvious who was going to get booted. So I had to start making entries without reading other entries because I didn't want to spoil the results for myself. Naturally I went very bad in all of the games, because I was merely guessing the answers. I don't know whether I'll bother with the games next season. And a Tooheys New Year!
