Osten is faking drowning. I've watched the video again and again, and when someone is drowning they flail (sp) their arms in panic, grabbing at the water to pull them up. Their legs go at rigged and awkward angels. They sink or bob up and down. (Going once, going twice, going thrice.)
Jeff says "Well, I'm in danger of becoming Mark in over-hyping the lie, but I'm out there actually believing this thing, and when I find out that its really a lie, it surprises me!"
and "It's brilliant. It's brutal and it's brilliant and it totally suckered me," and let's not forget ""My first reaction was 'Motherf----r,' and then my second reaction was 'Wow, that's amazing.' "
Well, tonight he will be watching someone supposedly in danger of drowning and believing it.
I also believe that Mark Burnett kept insisting that no one was in danger of drowning when asked that question in the pre-show interview. Now, perhaps he slipped by letting us know that it was the lie. Because if it was true that someone almost drowned, wouldn't he have played it down instead by saying "Well, you'll have to see the show to appreciate what happened. We had the situation well under control." See what I mean?
