"Newest Hot Spoiler on EZ Board" |
LAST EDITED ON 03-26-01 AT 08:12 PM (EST)Hello Everyone. I haven't seen this on the Blows board yet, and yes, I looked through the threads. The following is a post made to the EZ board on SS by someone called cbshascrappybenefits and also a partial post of his. You can look them up in their entirety if you like. That is if its still there by now. They have been doing a lot of deleting over there lately. The person claims to have been working for CBS. Of course its prob bull but nonetheless fun to read. Make of it what you will. The order is nothing like Ryan's (my uncle was a cameraman) spoiler. Here's the posts, their words not mine........... Author Comment cbshascrappybenefits Registered User (3/26/01 1:06:50 am) Burnett can bite me, here's the skinny... -------------------------------------------------------------------i recently quit working at a CBS contracted post-production studio. we did some work on the surv2 dailies as well as the rough cut. we didn't actually do mix, sync, or any work on the final cut. but regardless, i've seen all the footage. (btw, everyone involved in production, as well as all the cast members, get $35,000 bonuses plus 4% of your scheduled shoot pay if the winner stays a secret - why do you think no one ever lets it get out?) anyway, i could care less as no one will believe this post and it won't get any publicity and everyone will still cashout. i'm just sick of reading all the crap on this silly message things.
blah blah blah this will happen or that will happen blah blah blah. enough you lying kids, here: nick rodger elisabeth jerri amber keith colby/tina tina and if you're too stupid to figure out what that means, maybe you don't deserve to know. peace OK OK OK i will give you some of the "specific" blah blah information you want. i can tell you this.. the final challenge thing (with C/T/K) is an endurance test. each of them has to lay inside what looks like a bamboo coffin. it's above ground but very small. the last person to stay in the coffin thing wins the final immunity. they cannot see the other 2 people while they are laying inside it. after 49 hours (yes forty nine) colby quits making tina the winner. keith had quit after about 35 hours or so. tina votes off keith and has the final vote with colby where she wins it all. what you people dont know (and you'll love it because it's hilarious) is how shocked jerri is when she gets voted off and how angry amber is with colby in the days afterward because he lied and led them on so much. as for why tina would vote keith off, you should know this by what they've already aired. colby and tina were an alliance from the very beginning. they made promises to each other. and for tina, it was a smart move to go up against colby anyway (aside from the promise) because jerri and amber were pissed at him for lying and would vote against him, along with most of the kuchas for how cocky he was when jeff was booted - which meant the end for the kuchas.

1. "RE: Newest Hot Spoiler on EZ Board" |
Sorry... there is a GLARING error in this attempted fake:Tina vs. Keith vs. Colby going into the final three and Tina picks Colby to go against in the final vote? Because he was cocky when Jeff was booted? Sorry... I certainly did not see Colby being cocky. It's interesting how the list simply goes through the balance of the Kuchas in reverse order of typical audience appeal and then switches to the Ogakor list and does the same thing. Now if you had matched my list: Nick Rodger Jerri Liz Amber Colby Keith Tina AND had SOME sort of believable evidence... I might just believe you. For now... thanks for your post. IceCat

4. "Here is why this MUST be true :)" |
Well... yah see... this whole challenge is based on the legend of the Sea Faring Kangaroos...Deep in the past that the aboriginal peoples call the 'Dream Time', a race of sea faring kangaroos existed. They could swim for hundreds of miles out to sea and return to tell the tale to their 'boomer bretheren'. One of the greatest of the sea faring kangaroos set out one day to travel as far out on the ocean as she possible could and began to swim north of the island continent towards the steamy jungles of Indonesia. Having explored this new and intriguing land, she set off to return to her 'kangaroo kin' with a bundle of this remarkable giant grass which the Indonesian people called 'bamboo'. She tucked the bamboo into a slit she had cut into her fur. Alas the prevailing currents and tides on the return trip were not as favourable for our intrepid explorer and the poor soul died of exhaustion within sight of her beloved 'down under' home. The other kangaroos found the battered body of their comrade and her cargo of remarkable giant grass washed up on what would, some day, become the Queensland coast. Assuming that this giant grass must be magical, they created a sarcophagus out of the bamboo and tenderly laid the cold body of their friend into it, in the hopes that it's magic would save their friend. The kangaroos kept vigil over the bamboo coffin and waited for a miracle that would never come. Their sorrow grew with each passing day and their desire to swim upon the southern oceans waned until their great sea faring spirit was finally broken. To this very day... kangaroos no longer swim the oceans of the world and the females of the species still possess the slit that held the bamboo. It is truly touching that MB has decided to build an entire immunity challenge around this touching story of the outback. Or maybe the IceCat has being smokin a bit too much of the 'giant grass'... You decide...

9. "RE: Here is why this MUST be true :)" |
LAST EDITED ON 03-27-01 AT 02:02 AM (EST)I don't know if bamboo is native to the "Outback", but it is native to Australia. Refrence www.bamboo-oz.com.au/ regarding a 49hrs. immunity challenge running over the production schedule... maybe I'm missing something but they are in the outback for 42 days. After 39 days there should be 3 people and 72hrs left. It may be tight, but it looks to me like they have time to fit in a 49hr immunity challenge. Regarding "no evidence" Colby's disliked by kucha... After he jumped off the post into the water he stated "my strategy was to make the kucha guys mad, to convince them I'm the man to vote for. If I can draw some attention away from Kieth and Jerri who both have several votes for 'em... we really need for one of those guys to win immunity and the other one to be camouflaged." We weren't shown what, if anything, Colby did to piss off the Kucha, but by his own statements we know that's what he was trying to do. I'm not saying I believe this post, frankly I don't think there is enough info here to know if it's true or not, and that's probably reason enough to disregard it. But the reasons listed by shakes, ice cat and lizzlover strike me as being beneath their logical prowess.

16. "Re: Logical Prowess" |
LAST EDITED ON 03-27-01 AT 07:10 AM (EST)Actually... Due to the limited nature of the material provided by the poster, opportunities for a logical analysis are meager. My assertions that Colby has not displayed any offensive behaviour and that the Kuchas have not displayed any dislike was based upon the entire lack of of any evidence displayed on the show that the Kuchas interpreted any of Colby's actions as 'cocky'. Check the tapes... nobody... NOBODY... refers to Colby as cocky and there is not even circumstantial evidence that even hints that such feelings exist. The lack of evidence to back up his/her meager claims makes this post not much more than the typical 'I think Liz is gonna win cuz everybody likes her' kind of post. If you think that is too harsh... read the post again: the poster asserts that Tina picks Colby to face in the final vote because she thinks that the Kuchas think he was cocky. The poster would have better evidence if they had said that Kuchas couldn't stand Colby's snoring A statement of intent (which Colby made to camera while everyone else was out of ear-shot on the pole-standing challenge) to 'make the Kuchas mad' is hardly proof. You have made an anecdotal reference to an event that might possibly be interpreted as having a causal link to an unobserved entirely hypothetical phenomenon. That is the key point, here... the phenomenon described was not observed in any of the episodes. I shall leave it to you to decide who stands upon the less stable logical terrain. Hypotheses have to arise out of and be supported by observation. No direct evidence to support the poster's contention has been observed. The easiest case to defend is one where the prosecution presents no evidence. All the defence needs to do is say three words: 'the defence rests'. I rested by writing a little satire I put waaaaaaaay more time into the 'Legend of the Seafaring Kangaroos' because this place is not just about logic and analysis. It's about having a laugh every once in a while. I hope that you are not suggesting that we only pound our keyboards in order to engage in speculation and debunking, that would result in a board that we would be so dry and boring as to be barren. There... Prowess demonstrated... Flames launched... IceCat out...

43. "RE:legend of the seafaring kangaroos" |
I may very well owe you an apology, I didn't intend my criticism of your argument against the "Great Spoiler" to be personal. As I read my prior post I think I was a bit harsh and I will try to tone it down in the future... chalk it up to being a little over eager in my first post.Now, I really enjoyed your story "The Legend of the Seafaring Kangaroos" and have been trying to find it on the net, most of this evening... without luck. So, Is "The Legend of the Seafaring Kangaroos" a truly Australian story, or do you know? My reason for asking is that considering MB's love for recycling challenges from the first series, it strikes me that we haven't seen a challenge based on local folklore this season like we did with the Blair Witch ripoff last year. It seems to me a challenge of some sort based on local folklore will almost be a gimmie on ALL survivor shows. The point being, if you confirm "The Legend of the Seafaring Kangaroos" is Australian, the original post, while threadbare in details, goes up a notch in my book. It certainly won't come anywhere near PROVING the posted "SPOILER" is legit, but It would prove to my satisfaction that the original author of the post atleast knew the story of "The Legend of the Seafaring Kangaroos".

Well...There are two possible scenarios at work here: 1) Mavsfan is laying a little flame bait by pretending to not realize that 'The legend of the Seafaring Kangaroos' is a piece of IceCat original fiction composed for this board alone on the night it was posted and ever only posted once; 2) Mavsfan simply has not been paying attention and truly did not realize that he could search the entire web for a million years and not find 'The Legend of the Seafaring Kangaroos' beacause it did not exist until I wrote it a few days ago. I shall assume the latter... I shall now be very clear... 'The Legend of the Sea Faring Kangaroos' is not an Australian Aboriginal legend. 'The Legend of the Sea Faring Kangaroos' is an entirely original, fictitious work created by me (IceCat) and was posted only once, by me, on this board for the sole purpose of entertainment. 'The Legend of the Sea Faring Kangaroos' may cause blurry vision, dry skin, premature hair loss, facial warts, erectile dysfunction in males, (oops wrong disclaimer) I hope this clarifies the matter for you, Mavsfan and thank you for the compliment about the story. It was appreciated. IceCat

51. "RE: Fish on! Heh heh..." |
Thanks for the clarification of the origins of "The Legend of the Sea Faring Kangaroos". I guess I wasn't paying attention and missed any clues that it was just an entertaining tale spun for my fun, and at my expense as it turns out. "The Legend of the Sea Faring Kangaroos" sounds like as plausible a piece a folk tale to me as: 1)Paul Bunyan and Babe his blue ox 2)Jonah getting swallowed by a whale 3)Goldilocks and the three bears 4)Any of Aesop's Fables If you don't write childrens books, you may have missed your calling in life. P.S. If yall are trying to flame me turn up the heat. I don't think of it as flaming if we are arguing points of logic or the merits of a post ie. Did Colby try to piss off the Kucha or not. In my book flaming is when ya criticize my haircut.

17. "RE: Winner is not known by crew" |
Actually it is quite common for human camera operators to not be present. Most news interviews are conducted in small office-sized studios with a camera operated remotely from the control room. Remote operation is not even a requirement - once a camera is locked down and focused there is little else to do... especially if the talent is always going to be standing on the same mark (ie: at the voting podium).In this case, the cameras could have been locked down for the head-and-shoulders shot and for the over-the-shoulder shot; the two shots used to depict the voting. Once tape is rolling, they could have the camera operators walk away from the cameras and retrieve the tape only after voting was complete. I think such an approach would be entirely appropriate and entirely effective from a security point of view. These tapes would probably be kept under lock and key... not necessarily in a 'lockbox' (said the same way Dr. Evil says 'laser') It is entirely plausible that MB is the only one who knows the results of the vote. Anyone else would have had to indivually canvass the entire jury to obtain their votes and would have had to receive a truthful answer... a somewhat less plausible scenario. IceCat

20. "RE: Winner is not known by crew" |
Supe - I am suspicious of any thread that starts: "I have a source....," unless of course it is me with the source. This is the one and only thing I know conclusively from a source, and believe me I wish it was a bit meatier. As mentioned, it is not necessary, especially conisidering the simplicity of the shots, to film with a cameraman. MB has taken extreme security measures in S2 (consider Mitchell transcript) and would be very buttoned up about making sure crew was not aware. If the producer is unaware, the rest of the crew would be as well. Sure the jury could compare notes, but think about this. If the vote is close, it would take only ONE person holding out to leave complete uncertainty over the winner. In S1, Greg's vote could not have been easily predicted, and I would bet he would not have told anyone either. MB will obviously ask them not to share their votes, and the fear of his wrath might just keep several of them tight lipped about their votes. Oh.....and now that I am 99% convinced Jerri will not be in the Final 2, I suspect the vote could be a close one. So no grossly intuitive situation at the end.

LAST EDITED ON 03-27-01 AT 03:14 PM (EST)You know, generally I don't post very much at the Spoilers board because I'm bad at it - I don't understand all the intricate theories, scenarios, etc. So, I keep my mouth shut over here, and generally put my two cents in if it's something I understand. THIS I understand. THIS is a load of crap. And on an emotional level (sorry Shakes!), let's just say I have seen this kind of poster come to the spoiler's board too many times to count, and it's always the same - they post a supposed big spoiler, and then proceed to abuse the rest of us on the off chance we don't believe them (and I quote, "and if you're too stupid to figure out what that means, maybe you don't deserve to know." - Oooooohhh!!!!! cbshascrappybenefits is gonna be mad at us if we don't believe him!!!) God knows I'VE never posted anything earth-shattering on this board yet, but it always amazes me that we're supposed to trust someone who can barely construct a single sentence to figure out who wins the million! Shakes, my apologies, I know you hate these "I have a feeling" posts - but this attention seeking BOBO shows up with some post about who REALLY wins, abuses the posters before we can even say we do or don't believe him, and yet can barely muster the alphabet - pardon my barely concealed laughter! *edited in order to capitalize "BOBO"!* ************************************** What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about???

28. "Another one-post wonder" |
LAST EDITED ON 03-27-01 AT 08:05 PM (EST)Normally, I have been the calm person on this board. But my patience is wearing thin. shakes has already identified the phenomenon of the one-post wonder, who shows up to defend an obvious hoax (and may in fact be the original hoaxster), earlier in this thread. Here is another one-post wonder. Such posts do not deserve a response ... except maybe ... Tamia, is that you again? I saw flying squirrel have to go through this kind of crap last week on another "spoiler." We should not even need to explain that this is an obvious hoax, obvious to ItzLisa, obvious to shakes the clown, obvious to IceCat, and obvious to everyone who thinks about it. I don't have a problem with Wallflower having transferred the original post over here, because it's funny to see the new hoaxes, but I do have a problem with meisje1's response. meisje1, you have received your 15 minutes of fame. Now please go away and leave us alone. Go haunt the slEaZyboard or some other place where attention whores such as yourself perform self-aggrandizing acts of death-defying stupidity. There will be a lot more people in such a place to fawn over your attack on an intelligent poster, ItzLisa, who doesn't want to have to put up with people treating chicken sh!t as chicken salad any more.

I am just curious if any of you actually read the original post by that bitter 'CBS' guy? While his initial 'spoiler' list obviously invited flames and mockery, his follow up gave the whole thing some validity. I wouldn't base your opinions simply on the cut and paste that initiated this thread. His second post on the EZ board was actually much more involved and gave the spoiler a hint of credibility. While I have no doubt that this spoiler is a hoax, it has some element of substance. Not much, granted, but it is not the lamest spoiler ever.

This thread has seen no less than THREE "1 post wonders" break their cherry defending this load of crap.Why would 3 supposed longtime lurkers suddenly choose this load of crap as their reason for breaking their silence??? Are you telling me that this "HUGE SPOILER" is that much more amazing or inspiring than anything else that has been posted on the board this season? We have had arguments that have stretched on for weeks about the validity of spoilers and theories and yet, THIS is the one that these 3 choose to finaly get off their ass and write about???? It's total boolshit, and I think we can pass a simple unwritten rule when it comes to spoilers....that being that anytime a "one post wonder" shows up to defend a "HUGE SPOILER" that everyone else is debunking, we can almost be 100% sure that the "one post wonder" had something to do with the creation of said "HUGE SPOILER"
In fact, I'm just about ready to permanently dismiss any "HUGE SPOILER" from now on solely on the basis that a "one post wonder" shows up to defend it...that in itself is a big clue that it's fake.

A crude one is something like this: I KNOW THE WINNER!!!!! or, say, AMBER WINS!!!!!! People who create these generally know very little about the show, and their posts are easy to debunk. The second kind of hoax comes from a more sophisticated poster who actually knows something about the show and generally knows much of the "theory" on the boards. This person's real goal is to get the hoax believed, and so he or she generally sticks around for a while and does follow-up posts that try to plug the holes in the original post. The story gets better as time goes on, although there are always some weaknesses, but it includes a lot of generally-accepted data. The third kind of insider-knowledge spoiler post is NOT a hoax. One thing that is generally true is that it doesn't lay claim to too much knowledge; it has a reasonable source of knowledge (which will be explained in the initial post); and it comes from someone who has been an active poster (or even a slightly active poster) for a while. Sorry, slacker, but this is an example of the second type of hoax. The fact that the follow-up gave more information doesn't help. Without going into much detail, I'll give you one reason: from day 1 of Survivor 1, Mark Burnett has used "life" metaphors for Survivor. You know the drill: fire represents life, etc. The last challenge in Survivor 1 included fire-walking and a huge immunity idol as a symbol of life. Why would MB suddenly choose to use a "death" metaphor for the last challenge of Survivor 2? We hope you stick around, slacker. In time you will read these stories and be able to see that they are obviously, no-explanation-needed, fakes. It only seems hard at the beginning.

...I'd bump this up so all the idiots who defended it could feel real stupid all over again. Kind of like a great big wall of shame.

60. "RE: just thought i'd keep this on page 1 so i could find it" |
Knowing when to give up has never really been a characteristic I've displayed in the past so why start now?Certainly those who attempted to discredit the original post are now known to be right, it was a hoax, no doubt about it (although not of my making). I also think I deserve much of the blame for this thread getting much more attention than in deserved. Having made those concessions, I still think my original post (mavsfan post 1) is still valid in that the first 3 responses to the "hot new spoiler" fell short of disproving the spoiler. That was the only point I was trying to make. Sorry things got a little out of hand. P.S. I kind of like the idea of posting something to this thread every day or so just to keep it on the front page... it'll make it easier for me to find in the future when I want to look at my first ever post.

Well in one TC your suggestion went down the toliet! What the hell was the point of posting this bullshit? You know I was a little pissed with someone on this board because I thought they were too harsh when they disagreed with a certain post. Now I can understand why they were pissed. I owe squirll an apology because he or she was right about all the bogus ##### that some will post! After you typed out who goes and in what order You posted that," if you're too stupid to figure out what that means, maybe you don't deserve to know" I guess the person telling you this bullshit figured that you are too stupid and don't deserve to know. I mean after all they gave you a lie to digest so leaning on your own words I would say you are the stupid fool who doesn't deserve to know.
