"MB fooled us again"
Posted by esquire on 10-17-03 at 10:44 AM
You have to give MB credit. We all new that the reward challenge involved some type of relay race involving running and the water. We all new Morgan had 4 stud guys (Ruppert, Andrew, Ryan and Olsten) as part of there 6 man team. We all new that Drake's team had 4 girls and only 1 stud guy (Shawn). And yet, MB was able to convince virtually all of us that Drake would win the reward challenge. Looking back, I don't know why I didn't step back and think to myself that the players left on each team made it almost impossable for Drake to win the Reward Challenge, but I didn't.

...here:

...is it possible that Morgan wins, Ryan and Rupert hug to celebrate and, even though Rupert is allowed to share in the reward, he decides not to out of loyalty to Drake.

The picture of Rupert pumping his fist could be his way of saying to Morgan, "Enjoy your reward, but I'm going back with my original tribe."

I could kick myself because I had Morgan winning RC on this basis first, and then changed my mind!


"Oh yeah"

I am extremely irritated with myself today. I was a sheep and followed the BIG spoilers! I originally had Morgan winning both RC and IC. The vidcap of Rupert and Ryan was a pretty good give away! Duh!

In regard to the boot. I knew there was no good possibly explanation for Christa going this week. She was in a strong alliance last night and Michelle was not. Pretty clear pagonging, yet I went baaa!

*is going with gut* from here forth!

"Thanks BR"

Thanks for the recognition!! I was so excited when that happened last night, and my husband just thought I was a freak.

Considering my awful prediction of what I thought would happen last week, this helps boost my spirits.

No problem, the idea sounded perfect to me when you posted it. Then I was SO pissed when I saw it happen last night!

jkokoj is right, we needed to go with the gut more for yesterday's picks.

Congrats, samboohoo! Good call. And Rupe was smart to leave Morgan to enjoy their reward while he went home to Drake to share their miseries. Shows he has more game savvy than I previously thought of him. Sometimes you just gotta go with your gut, so to speak.
"WooHoo!!!"

Game on!!!!

Actually, I aced Spoiler Island last night, nailed it on all three choices. And congrats to richthedevil who still has a perfect score going! Anyone else want to crow?

I saw your vote before snewser posted Michelle.

When there was still one logical vote left (Michelle was in the minority just like Lil), most of us over-thought and over-analyzed.

I should have listened to VerucaSalt for thinking logic and simplicity, and to you for concluding Michelle.

Oh well, it's a good lesson.

WTG to samb and dabo

Naturally in my VS way, I refused to see past my blinders of the hug; someone put a piece of blueberry gum in my mouth and roll me away

forehead, my LOGIC (feh) was in the right place but failed short with Jon. I knew the Ep. 6 title could pertain to Jon and that he didn't quite fulfill Jeff's comments but still chose him due to my internal argument no way Christa could go. Unfortunately Michelle's hair wasn't blonde enough for me

Onto the next logical scenario lol

"logic indeed"

>forehead, my LOGIC (feh) was in the right place...

It certainly was! I got a good chuckle reading your vote

I almost changed mine, but erroneously concluded the ep6 title referred to Jon. I never thought about Michelle until I saw dabo's vote...

>Onto the next logical scenario lol

Yep

Relative Newbie crowing! I finally aced my Spoiler Island picks, and picked Michelle in our vote thread hours before Snewser posted. Unfortunately, I joined the Spoiler Island game after weeks 1 and 2 so I am still low in the standings. (Not to mention my less than perfect picks in weeks 3 and 4)

This is my first post but I have been watching the spoiler board for a long time now. In fact, thanks to you guys I won my office pool for Marqueas. Every Wed night I would religiously read through the votes, State of the Spoiling, etc. I always went with the majority and ended up so far ahead of everyone in the pool it was amazing. The SOTS seemed to always be dead on with the picks for reward/immunity winners. Anyway, I guess I am just bummed because I am literally in LAST place for the Panama pool! I was the only person who picked Drake to win the reward ARHHH!! I finally saw the links to SNS & TDT and that is great but 2:00pm on Thursday does not help me out when I have to have my picks in by Wed night at 10:00pm. Anyway, I'm just curious why things seem so different this time around. Were there more inside sources for Marqueas than there is for this one?

Thanks for listening!

Aack, I think I got fooled by the spoilers this week. As soon as last week's episode was over I said to myself- "Michelle goes next- she has no alliance". But I read all the spoilers and scenarios and got convinced Christa would go. As soon as Michelle puked I knew it was all over

I thought it was unfair that MB fooled us with the CBS blurb of one tribe's female members were furious when the tribe's men decided to build their shower in the open. I picked Drake to win based on that blurb since I expected Darrah and Tijuana to go baaa to whatever their tribe's men decided to do (which they did).

I changed my pick from Michelle to Christa based on the baaa factor too. D'OH...

This season MB/CBS have out and out lied to us about some of the sneak previews. Unless they play them up in the recrap, they never ever happened. They tell us something will happen and then it isn't even mentioned on the show. Were these blurbs written before the show was edited?
