----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------First of all, what a coincidence that the first 6 weeks at Tribal Council were Tagi, Pagong, Tagi, Pagong, Tagi, Pagong, also there were 3 women and 3 men. Then it was woman, man alternetely (whatever it is spelled, English is not my first languag) Gretchen, Greg, Jenna, Gervase, Colleen. When Richard was going to be voted off he won immunity. It was fixed that Sean won reward challenge cause his dad was there. Rich said they would vote off Kelly just before Colleen fell and Sean wasn't there. There should be also more evidence.
Also, didn't you notice that Colleen, when she was voting Sean, said: "Same reason as last week" but she didn't vote Sean last week, she voted for him 3 days ago...any clue?

I am sure she was talking to us, the audience, and when she said last week, she meant last week for us the audience, but of course only 3 days for her.

colleen said 'same as lasst week' because the contestants know that there is one tribal councel per episode and that they will air weekly. I work in Television and know that these things are very planned out but I don't think the voting is fixed, I think that if Sean had not won immunity his dad would have visited the island or something, obviously the dad flew himself to P-Tiga and MBproductions<tm> used it to thier advantage, his dad was probably waiting at the resort to give him the 'good try Wally' speech when he got booted. Dad, realizing how stricken poor Wally, um I mean Sean would be, flew to the resort to pat his back and toast a 'you-did-your-BEST-son! beer'

I have also wondered was it coincidence that it kept alternating or was there something else to it. It just seems risky to have one group voting all of their members off before the tribes were to have merged.

What I found fishy was how some of the questions in the Reward Challenge seemed to be things any doctor would know... Hmmmm...
I don't think it's fixed, per say, but I do believe many of the challenges are set up with a winner in mind...

Yeah! It look like! You're right about one week Tagi get immunity, followed by Pagong, etc... But also, when they merged you have 5 peoples from each side. But what is stranger is the last reward challenge. I don't know if you, guys, read SurvivorSucks message board. Some weeks ago there was a guy saying he called the resort where the banned castaways resided, and he asked about people being there and from what he said only Sean dad had stayed there, so no Sue dad, Rudy wife, etc... and then this reward challenge about medical stuff, Sean dad on the boat??? Yes, it is pretty strange or a really great coincidence. It seems like Survivor is much more fixed up than wrestling! But I guess we'll never know!!!

If you read the episode summary at the official CBS site, it explains that 6 people were waiting at the LA airport, to be flown to Malaysia as soon as the winner was declared. As soon as they found out it was Sean, his dad flew out. I believe this.

I am not convinced the show is fixed. I think it is reasonable that some challenges WILL favor some people. What if all the challenges were physical, e.g. obstacle course/race? Hmmm... survival of the fittest!

It was not fixed that Shawn would win the reward challenge. Each contest had a potential relative or friend waiting for them . This was taken from the cbs website:How did Sean's father come to arrive on Pulau Tiga? Split-second timing, mostly. A significant other representing each of the castaways waited in Los Angeles, ready to board a flight to Borneo if their loved-one triumphed in the reward challenge.

The moment Sean won, word was passed to Los Angeles for Sean's father to board the flight. As he jetted across the Pacific to see his son, the other six significant others flew back to their respective homes

Also this morning on the Early Show Colleen said Sean
stayed on the boat the next night. Not the same night
as the challenge. The suspected that something like
this was being set up because they were told, oh we
can't use the boat tonight so it will have to be tomorrow
night. So this gave them 24-36 hours to fly the chosen
loved one from LA.

You know what ill have to agree with you Guac for one the guy girl thing and the fact that, but isn't it a little fishy that of the six of them Sean, who's dad just happened to have been in Malaysia and ready to be the 'captain' won the reward challenge? I don't imagine all of them had friends or relatives there waiting. or maybe they did, what do you guys think?
