"Who Knew?" |
I've seen a fair amount of bashing and scorn for the survivors because they weren't smart enough to pick up on the non-merge - they apparently all got sucked in.So, many of us must be a lot smarter than the survivors (I guess that goes without saying), but I'm curious about who honestly knew that Jiffy was playing with them and there wasn't going to be a merger as the show unfolded. Now, don't play unfair and say that going into the show you knew there wasn't going to be a merger and you were right. I'm asking, as the show unfolded you can honestly say you never got sucked in. Respond to this in the subject line - I knew - or I got sucked in. And if you want tell us why. I'll be first to go. 2002 IceCat Originals, Inc. All rights reserved.

2. "Not Me..." |
... and it really made this episode enjoyable. I guess its that whole dramatic irony thing (where the audience knows something that the characters don't).Seriously, though... Once they made it back to the beach and they were still wearing separate buffs it was entirely obvious what was going on. I cannot believe that the tribes did not even suspect. I think that they did and those comments were edited out. Note how Shii Ann says '... this is definitely for individual immunity...' when she is reading the tree mail. It was almost as though she was trying to convince herself (and the others) that the tribes had truly been merged.

Jiffy is just a nickname for Jeff Probst. Actually, it's one of many.....

12. "I got sucked in!" |
We didn't get to watch the show until yesterday (mi familia went out to dinner during Survivor so we had to watch it SO much later) and my husband and I were just discusing this very thing (actually more like debating).I honestly don't think I would have suspected for a minute that this was not to be a merge. Of course, as viewers, we have a much better idea of what's about to hapen (or not happen in this case) based upon clues we've been given throughout the episodes. The castaways aren't privy to the same information...and even if they were, I'd like to think that 18 days on an island with a bunch of strangers whom you may or may not like at all would have a major influence on that little part of your brain that tells you that these clues all add up to no merger. Of course I thought "hmmmmm, that's odd, there's no choosing a tribe name/painting the flag/getting new buffs", but since this is supposed to be a "different" Survivor, I figured there must be some new way of doing this. And I'm certain the last thing the survivors thought about when put into their new living arrangements was that it might not be a merge...despite what clues there may have been to tell them that it was not a merge. I think most people take things as they see them and analyze only when they see the need. I don't think a single one of them (as evident by their collective shock) felt they had any reason to analyze this situation and just took all the things they HAD been told and assumed merge. My husband (who doesn't like Shii Ann) seemed to think she should have known (even though he had no idea) or at elast should have kept her mouth shut until after the IC just in case. It sure is a lot easier for us to say "she should have/could have" though, isn't it? Anyway, sittem, I was totally and completely sucked in...even knowing all of the detailed list of events that take place with a merge (choosing a tribal name, painting the flag, getting new buffs, etc.) I had no clue - and I'd like to think I'm smarter than the survivors

16. "I knew" |
Alright we had the benefit of previews and the epsiode title hinting at no merge, then all the talk about living together, etc.But when they came up with a tribe name on their own, it dawned on me. They were never asked to do that, why...? They have no paints (for the flag at least) and no material to make a flag, they are assuming things. I knew instantly and was sooo upset Shii was doing what she was doing. So in closing, it was obvious to me, but I do not think it would have been if I had not seen previews and been thinking about it prior to the episode. D.R.

He noticed right off that they didn't get new buffs (he's a born spoiler). If it weren't for him, I would have been fooled. I would have just figured they edited out the buff issuing because it's boring.
