"Episode 8 Preview (Many, Many Pics)"

Posted by sleeeve on 05-10-01 at 09:42 PM
The preview was twice as long as normal, so there are twice as many vidcaps, and it's taken twice as long to do... sorry so late... here it is:

Preview Transcript
Announcer: Next week, the final two hours of Boot Camp will blow you away.
Rosenbum: Aaaaaaaa
McSweeney: Aaaaaaaa
Announcer: It's the gauntlet; seven greuling events; the ultimate test of mind and body.
Francisco: It was brutal to watch it.
Announcer: Then, it all comes down to the final vote on dismissal hill, when Whitlow and Wolf come face-to-face with the six discharged recruits.
Brown: From Wolf, I heard a lot of arrogance, and Whitlow I didn't trust.
Yaney: Not taking responsibility is gonna cost somebody.
Rosenbum: The winner of Boot Camp is Recruit...
Announcer: Who will endure?

"Why Wolf wins..."
Posted by sleeeve on 05-10-01 at 10:01 PM
So I think that I've finally figured it out...

The producers of Boot Camp learned everything from S1...

We've seen eating worms, we've seen starvation, we've seen Moretti's tags in the opening credits as a red herring (a la Gervase), the only two shown in "the gauntlet" in the opening segment are the Morettiyiyiy's, because they were the two of the final four that did NOT make it... (ie: the two NOT shown are the final two... remember that trick from S1???)

We've also seen a pattern emerge:

Hutak's mission shown with people saying "I've got it" in preview, fails in show.
Morettiii's mission shown as chaos in preview, succeeds in show.
Yaney's mission appears to fail in preview, succeeds in show.
Jackson's mission not shown in preview, fails in show.
Morettyyy's mission shown as a failure, succeeds in show.
Whitlow's mission shown as sabotaged, succeeds in show.


Well, in the preview, Whitlow is shown as frustrated in the physical challenges, while Wolf is just shown as tired. Therefore Whitlow must win some of the physical challenges (also verified by the fact that the jury vote takes place, so not all of the events have been won by a single person)...

Wolf, however, is shown to lose the jury session (Brown clearly more disdainful of Wolf in tone of voice, and Yaney could only be referring to Wolf in the infamous equipment fiasco when he's talking about taking responsibility... thus Wolf will probably win at the end of the jury... in other words, Wolf wins it all....

Finally, the editing:

Much like S1, Whitlow flew below the radar for the first half of the series... she didn't really appear as a character until Ep5 when she injured her foot. (Remember Kelley???)

Wolf, however, has been edited as a central character from day one, and has been the guy we love to hate... clearly the producers hope that we will think that he has no chance to win, so that when he does, it will be a surprise!


Note to the producers: The reason that it worked with Rich in S1 is that, while he was a schemer and arrogant, he was also more noble than Kelley, and ultimately deserved to be the sole survivor... however, we have not been shown Wolf's good side... if he wins, the audience will be disappointed... he is not a team player, and is not what Boot Camp is supposed to symbolize (unlike Survivor, where the point is to be a lying, backstabbing, scheming, arrogant SOB)...

Not that it matters... there will not be a "season 2" of this pathetic show... to quote the comic book guy from the Simpsons "Worst Show Ever!"

"however, we have not been shown Wolf's good side..."

We've seen is good side since the very beginning.

He was a good Squad Leader and worked hard on all missions. We never saw him complaining unlike all others recruits.

Wolf is the best. That's why he can't win.

Letting Wolf be the winner would be like S2 letting Jerri be the winner. Most of the audience does not like the little punk. Everyone is only watching now to see him lose.

Whitlow hates Wolf. The reason she voted out Moretti was because she believes everyone dislikes Wolf as much as she does. Who better to go up in a final vote against than Wolf? She probably won't defeat him in the physical gauntlet. So she wants someone that she thinks she can beat in the vote.
