"Revealing editing at the story challenge and tribal council?"

Posted by survivormitsx on 05-18-02 at 01:00 AM
Rewatching Thursday's absolutely amazing episode, I think i have came to the conclusion that the immunity story they were given ironically is like how this game will play out. When Jeff Probst was telling the story, at certain parts of it (maybe key facts and things which would contrast with events in the game?) He would focus on certain castaways. Here is the entire transcript of the story, and see if you gather and come to the same assumptions im making.

Jeff Probst: As beautiful as this place is, it is seeped in a history of violence . This place in particular was home to a legendary warrior, Kekahanui cheif of his tribe, and he was feared among all warriors. His body was covered in intricate Marquesean tatoos. The tatooing process itself was very crude. The tatoo combs were usually made from human bone sometimes pearl, and even occasionaly animal bone. The comb, was pounded into the skin by a mallet made of iron. Very painful took years. Kekahanui was feared in battle because he always seemed to know what his enemy was gonna do . He would do this by infiltrating the tribes of his rival as an ordinary tribesman. When he was living with the rival tribe they planned to make war on his own tribe. They didn't want to battle his own people so he would fake an injury. He went down to the sea, and grabbed two sea urchins. He took the guts, and he wrapped them around his foot with a tarpa, trying to fake an injury. The smell was so bad That the trick worked . The rival tribe thought he was capacitated, so they went off to do war. As soon as they were out of site, he stripped off the two urchins, disguised himself by taking his long hair by wrapping it in two buns, and then he grabbed his favorite weapon of choice, the war club, made of iron wood disigned to kill with a single blow to the head. He knew a short cut, and took off runnning. His plan was to ambush the war party and kill the cheif, and then the tribe would feast on the cheif. As you know cannibilism is a major part of Marquesan life. It was believed that if you ate the meat of the warrior you inherited the power, so the fleshiest part was reserved for the warrior who made the kill and a Marquesan feast would preside over this ceremony. And a monostone would be placed at the top of the victim's skull to capture their spirit. Well Kekahanui's plan worked perfectly. Victory for Kekahanui . He feasted on the cheif and he put his hair down and he revealed his true identity to his tribe . So with the power of the vanquished cheif now in Kekahanui, legend has it, it unified the tribe and that ceremony took place on this very spot.

- Jeez, after typing this and comprehending it (the best i could) i think this is really telling.

Tribal Council

This might not mean much...but take this for what you will.

Sean is voted off, and Jeff turns to the tribe and says:

Jeff Probst: Well i don't know if you noticed tonight or not, but the jury is all wearing black-I don't know if that means something. I do know this- The only thing that guarantees you a spot in the final two is winning two more immunities .

Interesting, ain't it?

I hope this churns some brains...
