I'm of the opinion that these don't really give us much to work with, spoiler-wise, but you never really know. Last season, we got Crazy Lex in that one shot, which panned out to be a clue that Lex would go bonkers. Nothing like that seems to be in this season's opening shots. I've skipped most of the scenes of Nuku Hiva and tattooed natives. Hopefully those aren't valuable.

47 caps coming now.

OK, so far these vidcaps seem to backup what I thought I'd noticed during the opening -- there's no clip of Gina's "photo."

Why??? Normally we get a "live shot" and a static photo of each survivor -- why is there none of Gina? Was it just REALLY QUICK?

-SB

OK,I just checked my tape... Hunter, Sarah, Paschal and Gina are the four without any photos shown during the intro's. Any ideas if this means anything???

-SB

During S2 Colby and Tina's opening shots were different than the rest. Colby had no still picture. Tina had no live picture. Everyone else had one still and one live picture. Since they wound up being the winner and runner up it might mean something. I never looked for this in S3 so if someone has a recording of it, they might want to check it out and see if a pattern is forming.

It was either MB's or JP's comments posted in an earlier thread, where when interviewed, he said don't assume anything.
Since MB knows that these boards speculate... he may very well change the intro to the program at anytime. Even if he doesn't, I wouldn't assume anything by the intro vidcaps.

What's more interesting is the previews for next week where it appears that Pat and Kathy are in deep doo-doo. The tag line "..even though it is Kathy who finds the food" could mean the end of her stay. If Rotu loses, IMHO, she's first to go.
Although Sean is saying that Pat is talking too much, the way in which his personality is being displayed, I would be surprised if he makes it to the merge. If he does, he's toast after that.
Vee is trying to make points with the group and with Hunter, but I don't believe that's going to carry her far either. Rob needs to shape up as well, he seems more like a fish out of water than Sean does. What can I say about Sarah? Nice teats!
Edited because of a tiny little word I used that got censored !(I see that this board is now editing out some words.... come on guys! Let's give some props to George Carlin!)

Um, OK, thanks for the Survivor 101 lesson, but you realize that analysis is pretty much all we do here, right?

Actually, I believe it was "But it's Kathy that finds food" -- something that has far less inferred meaning. That said, we already have a topic for talking about the preview, your comments about it would best be served there:

I don't think I've modified the filtered word list in probably close to a year, so I'm not sure what you mean by "now editing"

well, the "1 Survivor" frame (43) looks definitely to be a male, though i don't know that that says anything. i'd bet most anything that a female wins, since males have won 2 of 3 so far

also, while i was watching the intro this evening, i noticed a few of the survivors had water effects (like a rippling puddle type thing) similar to the fire effects in S2. Can anyone who taped it check to see who these are? Water definitely seems to be a bigger key in this one. They're given water maps (which also feature in the intro) and there was no "Fire is life" speech from Jiffy this time (nor did they receive fire at TC, though seeing as they both had it, it was unnecessary)
i have a feeling that Peter was one of those with water graphics, so i don't know if this tells us anything

The ripple effect was on Neleh, Robert, Tammy, Peter, Vecepia. I thought I saw light or fire with Gabriel, Zoe, Sean, and Rob (a single flame underneath him). Patricia had some whirly effect in the corner (hhmmm, maybe it was me, maybe the Snickers and SierraMist buzz was kicking in about then).

1 SURVIVOR

--------------------
CHAOS!

This does not look like an object we have seen so far. It appears to be made of a hard yet somewhat flexible plastic-type material. Zoe & Tammy are very focused, and both seem to be looking down into the turquoise-blue thing, whatever it is. From the flexed muscles on both women, they are exerting an intense effort. An awful lot of splashing that seems to originate from the point where their hands would be.

Could be challenge related. Tammy is clearly wearing her buff on her neck, as is (John?) beside her. Hard to tell in blurred photo, but John does not seem to have much beard growth here, altho he has some. This could very well be an upcoming challenge.

This looks like it is definitely from E2 reward challenge based on promo pix at survivorfever. Here is the link:

http://www.survivorfever.net/vidcaps_episode2.

I need to ask something....did anyone else find that the Opening credits shots of the contestants seemed like they were on fast forward or something? I seem to remember longer drawn out shots for previous survivors....this time I was like "that's it?"

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

Ever notice that Paschal is always hugging Neleh in the vid caps? I think there may be a strong possibility of a Rodger/Elizabeth-like alliance in the future here (hopefully they aren't the "romance couple" whom MB talked about. SHUDDERRRR).

This looks to be from a future challenge as she had no reason to high-five during the E1 challenge and, note, that her hair is wet.

Who else on Malibu (other than Peter) has that blue T-shirt? Would that have to Paschal? Or does anyone else think that they were given clothes by the producers/sponsors so that many of them have the same items of clothing?

....good call, this, along with the pics of a water based challege (probably reward) are our best evidence that Marlboro wins the first reward challenge.

...I thought I saw Hunter wearing a blue Reebok t-shirt during Ep#1....as we all know, they are given any Reebok merch they want during the filming, and our more media savy whores know full well that the surest way to secure screen time is to plaster the sponsor's name all over your body.

In the last sequence of shots just after the Ep1 challenge just before Rotu does the big victory celebration, the Mara's are shown approaching each other for handshakes and and hugs. It's quick and you really have to watch it on slow motion.

The positioning of the the torch, Gina's clothes, and Jiffy (he's the one wearing the blue shirt) are identical. This is unused footage from EP1.

MB is recycling footage for the previews again.

The T35 clip looks like it is from episode one after the IC win by Rotu. Gina's wearing the same set of clothes here as she did in the first IC. The high-fiving does not necessarily equate to a Maraamu win. She could just be consoling herself and her teammates of making a good effort in trying to win the IC. As posted in tribephyl's post in:

http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/2320.shtml

Although the pictures aren't very clear, it doesn't look like Gina's wearing the clothes worn in T35 for the RC in episode 2 so maybe this clip is from episode 1 after all.

The clothes for every person shown in pic 20 are identical to the Ep1 challenge. Go back and view the video of the post challenge victory celebrations in slow motion and you'll see.

Many people have been wondering just who is "the #####". Well, Sarah, kathy and Patricia could all fit into that role.
I believe however sarah is the hottie, not the ##### and that Kathy will be the #####.
How?
She will summon up an alliance to get rid of John. VidCaps show Neleh, Paschal and Kathy being playful together.
