So, pushing on with this project, it's time already to deal with the merge! Ah, memories, the nights out, camping in a dry river bed! The Gufu Award was established to determine the dangdumbest game move in Survivordum. Yet again, you have two nomination/votes per episode, and please cast those votes on the posts I will establish for each episode. (Go ahead, rack up some DAWs, I don't know why more people aren't.) Here are the links in order to refresh your memories.

LAST EDITED ON 06-26-02 AT 12:27 PM (EST)

Please post your episode 7 nomination/votes here. just checking if this can still be edited

1. Varner. Peanut Butter.

2. Kucha going for Colby at Tribal Council, especially after Colby was so willing to fall off his post in the IC.

1.Kucha for being gullible and stupid for thinking Jerri was nice and had no votes against her

2.Jeff for being incredibliy stupid and jumping of the pole for sum friggin peanut butter..if he really wanted immunity he could have stayed on and won

Vote 1: Jeff takes the peanut butter.

Can't think of a second, but I will say that this episode was perhaps Jerri's greatest play ever. As much of a villain as she is, she did an awesome job and showed the upside to having an actress (sorry, aspiring actress) on your tribe. (Sorry if I broke the rules of the gufu)

1. Kucha. What made them think, out of all the misfits in Ogakor, that Colby would have the most votes against him?

2. Jerri, for demanding that the new camp be built on the dried river bed. Hello? You think a dried river bed might become a wet river bed at some point?

A tough episode to narrow down to only two votes.

Vote 1: Alicia Gives Up (IC7)! She could certainly have outlasted Keith (though kudos to him for toughing it out on sheer determination), then Kucha might have gotten control of the game in spite of Kimmi's big mouth.

Vote 2: Camp Barramundi! Let's see: dry river bed + it's the wet season = sleep with the fishes. None of them could figure that out!

1.) As it's already been mentioned, Kucha going for Colby was the dumbest thing in this episode. I wouldn't really put it all on Alicia though, dabs - I mean her and Lis ~should~ have been able to see that one of Keith or Tina needed it since everyone else jumped off so early but from Alicia's later comment ("It had no effect on this vote") It sounds like they were planning to go for Colby even before the challenge.

2.) The second goes to Jerri for deciding that the camp should be in that dry river bed and that was final. And it also goes to everyone else for not standing up to her (even though from interviews we know a couple of them knew they shouldn't have put up camp there) Too bad - if they'd disagreed with her the inner b*tch probably would've manifested....

-----------------------------------
Now let us never speak of S3 again.

Please post your episode 8 nomination/votes here.

1.Liz for actually believing that Ogakor would vote against Jerri

2.Amber for being an idiot..When she was so surprised Jerri actually choose her to go on the reward with her

LAST EDITED ON 06-20-02 AT 08:55 PM (EST)

Vote 1: Elisabeth believes Ogakor alliance is cracking (kind of a Lis can't do the math, but in a different context)

Vote 2: Pending

-Antonia Zerbisias, The Toronto Star

1. Jerri (maybe she should just get #1 in all my votes til she is gone) for being so obnoxious about stupid things like cooking rice and thereby continuing to sow the seeds of her own departure.

2. Elizabeth for being unable to count.

Vote 1: Jerri Picks Amber (RC8)! Okay, she wouldn't have picked Keith or Tina, obviously, but that was one time she should have gotten Colby away from the others. Instead, she picked the only person she could honestly trust, leaving everyone else free to plot against her.

Vote 2: Jerri's Attitude In General! After playing "nice" in order to survive the merge, she went right back to her old ways that had caused her to be a target within Ogakor from day 1.

Production Gufu: That was a particularly lousy IC, it essentially amounted to little more than luck of the draw.

1.) I agree with dabo - if she had at least left Amber behind they wouldn't have said anything about her. Of course when she was gone they seemed to care less about hurting Amber's feelings but while Jerri was there each and every one of them was terrified of her wrath. And she thinks Alicia's the intimidating one.

2.) Elisabeth for being "a dumb optimist."

Now let us never speak of S3 again.

Please post your episode 9 nomination/votes here.

LAST EDITED ON 06-24-02 AT 11:44 AM (EST)

1. Jerri has a temper tantrum over drawing names from hats for the RC.

Edited to correct spelling error.

1.Jerri for just being Jerri..with her comments about the game not being fair..and not wanting to pick names from a hat..basically pissing off everybody even more than she already had.

2.Colby for supposedly yanking coral off the great barrier reef..and giving it to his tribemates

Vote 1: Jerri complains about drawing names. However...

Vote 2: Ogakor votes off Jerri. C/T/K got extremely lucky pulling this power trip because, had Amber played a smidgen better than she did, they could have been in serious trouble.

-Antonia Zerbisias, The Toronto Star

1. Colby - He had the opportunity to screw Jerri twice in this episode but only took advantage of the TC opportunity

2. Jerri - "Oooh, it's not fair". Bite me.

Vote 1: Jerri's "Not Fair" Comment! Ugh, was she trying to find a way to tick off everyone, even Amber?

Vote 2: Ogakor 3 Vote Off Jerri! Risky move, it left them prone to being outflanked in the next two TCs should Amber have decided to reallign with Kucha.

I'm going to go with stranger ones....

1.) Colby for helping to destroy the fragile environment and one of the Wonders. Thanks a bunch.

2.) Lis and Nick for totally sucking in the RC - I mean please, I'd expect Tina and Rodger to do badly but these two are young and strong. I'd bet even the aforementioned pair could've beaten them.
