Krautboy 2750 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 08-29-01, 04:12 PM (EST) "Weight Loss Theory" The Weight Loss Theory proved to be very reliable last season. All those individuals who were reported to have had "significant weight loss",(25-35lbs)stayed in the game past the merge. The list included Colby, Rodger, Nick, Keith, Amber; don't remember who else, but it was 100% accurate. This season, thanks to Noitall30, we have the list of contestants just as they have come back from Africa, before they have too much time to regain lost weight. We are also well on our way to knowing their hometowns, thanks to the efforts of many, and have a great opportunity to gather weight loss information and verify it with photographic evidence from local papers, neighbors, etc. So, I hope we can use this thread for that kind of information. The discussion has already begun under the contestant threads for "Big Tom" Buchannon, reported to have lost 65lbs and Lindsey Richter, who has been photographed since her return(bandana/cornrows) without any apparent weight loss. Preliminary conclusions: Lindsey Richter gets the boot premerger. "Big Tom" goes far... Krautboy   Top

"Exactly right, Krautboy" ...meaning that pictures of or contact with the current acquaintances of any of these people would be invaluable -- although we don't really want to become stalkers.   Top

SurvivorBlows 15230 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-29-01, 04:52 PM (EST) 2. "Yes, please, no stalking..." I had a conversation with sleeeve about this last night, and I'm just going to post my feelings on the topic here. I just want to be clear that "SurvivorBlows.com" or myself is not advocating or supporting the "stalking," phoning, or harassment OF ANY KIND for these people. These are normal people, and in our efforts to have some fun, let's not take it to such extremes that we become the "paparazzi" (or worse) that everyone hates. Driving by the home address on the off chance they are outside is fine -- parking the car outside the house for an hour or two, is, IMHO -- a bit over the line. Walking up and knocking on the door would also be a no-no in my book. If they work in a job that involves dealing with the public (bartender, whatever), then it's fine to patronize their workplace, but if anyone is going to try these things, please try and keep it reasonable... Btw, the above ESPECIALLY applies to the "unclear" candidates. Already we've had a couple of folks -- who turned out to NOT be contestants -- start to get harassed and have their livelyhood effected because of not so much the irresponsible actions of the spoiling communities, but instead primarily as a result of the tendency of a number of print media sources to take something that appears on a website as a rumor and confusingly represent it as FACT in their publications. I understand that some actions have been taken to correct this, but it's something I'm just asking that folks keep in mind when posting information. -SB   Top

PepeLePew13 26134 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-30-01, 01:02 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Weight Loss Theory" Assuming it's true that Big Tom lost about 65 lbs, it's a given he goes far, maybe even to the final episode. Lindsey... in my mind, the jury's still out because weight loss can vary wildly from person to person. Sue looked exactly the same from start to end over 13 weeks in S1, while someone like Elisabeth (whom I would have guessed wouldn't show much of a weight loss) did show a tremendous loss. I'm a pretty athletic guy and I've been known to lose 7-8 pounds simply from playing golf which isn't exactly an over-exertive sport, while I have friends who are bigger than I am but wouldn't lose as much. I do agree, however, with Lindsey's apparent lack of intelligence combined with a lack of weight loss shown, it strongly indicates an early boot. Also agree with the call to avoid any stalking! There are plenty of ways to dig up information on a contestant than to try to break in pretending to be a plumber or something like that... "Permit me to introduce myself. I am Pepe Le Pew, your lover."   Top

Lindsey... in my Regardless of whether he loses 65 pounds -- or say the report is a bit off and it's only 40 pounds -- I think that he definitely makes the merger. If it's truly 65 pounds, then yes, I'd say a Final Four appearance is likely (I know metabolism is a part of it, but remember metabolism's also adjust during the course of 39 days, so if he loses that much weight, I thing he has to be there for a damn significant stretch of time.) >mind, the jury's still out >because weight loss can vary >wildly from person to person. > Sue looked exactly the >same from start to end >over 13 weeks in S1, >while someone like Elisabeth (whom >I would have guessed wouldn't >show much of a weight >loss) did show a tremendous >loss.

Yep, Lindsey isn't looking too good right now (I could make a blonde joke here, but I tried to stop doing things like that a few years ago), but hey... we'll have to see. But no, the cornrows and the bandana on the head the first day back in the States -- and a photo that ran on every wire service in the country -- must have had CBS and MB fuming.   Top

Oh, do you really think MB would be mad at her? Just because she sent out an e-mail to all of her friends telling them that she'd be traveling for the summer -- after they already knew she made the final 50 in the S3 auditions? And because the fact that SHE was known to be in the show enabled someone who found a link between her and a suspected contestant to put together the entire contestant list? That wouldn't tick MB off, would it?   Top

LAST EDITED ON 09-10-01 AT 04:16 PM (EST) This kinda popped into my brain when I was reading what Aya posted about Lindsey: Aya said: <<<<<<Oh, do you really think MB would be mad at her?

She has done all sorts of stupid things that would normally be something that MB may start suing her about (or at least warrant a firm spanking) We know that they held some last minutes auditions, maybe MB in his weird, twisted little brain decided that he was going to find one person to take with them to Africa to throw people off (or perhaps even 2 thus the 18 castaways idea) She hasn't really lost weight. Cornrows? Bandana? Sending out a mass email? In my mind this is pretty darned suspect.

Thrill Seeker 220 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 10-09-01, 04:00 PM (EST) 27. "RE: Weight Loss Theory" > Sue looked exactly the >same from start to end >over 13 weeks in S1, >while someone like Elisabeth (whom >I would have guessed wouldn't >show much of a weight >loss) did show a tremendous >loss. Sue actually lost a lot of weight. In the "Best of Survivor 1" video where they showed the mirror and weigh in competition, Sue had lost about 25 pounds at that point and definitely looked much thinner than when she got there. However, Pepe's point about metabolisms vary greatly is correct. Lindsey might have lasted a long time and just happened to be on a team that kept winning food rewards so she lost negigible weight. She probably didn't make it to the merge, but Lindsey might surprise you with how long she lasted with such a tiny brain.   Top

diamond 2307 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Seventeen Magazine Model" 09-10-01, 10:05 AM (EST) 12. "RE: We need "after" pictures..." LAST EDITED ON 09-10-01 AT 10:09 AM (EST) I hope this doesn't come off as too negative, but keep in mind that the "before" photos we have may not necessarily be an accurate measure of what these people weighed before they went to Africa. For instance, were those photos of Carl and Jessie from the newspaper article take specificaly for the article, or were they older photos? That photo of Ethan, since it came from a high school yearbook, is likely almost ten years old. Weights can fluctuate significantly in even short periods of time. Plus, haven't some Survivor contestants (e.g., Jeff Varner) in the past deliberately put on weight right before going on the show in anticipation of the weight loss they assumed would happen? The before photos we have would not reflect this. Anyway, just something to think about. diamond "So typical, a battle of wits, and I've come half prepared." - The Trashcan Sinatras   Top

SurvivorBlows 15230 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-10-01, 12:18 PM (EST) 13. "RE: We need "after" pictures..." Exactly the same point I was going to make diamond... For starters, I believe the above Carl photo is a file photo from the "magnet" story that his local paper did on him a couple of years ago. I am uncertain of the original source for the Jessie photo that they published. Can anyone tell which police uniform that is? (didn't she work for two different towns forces before going on Survivor?) Kelly's images obviously look like they were taken by a little web camera thing -- something like the Connectix things that were so popular a couple of years ago or one of those X10 camera's we all see an every popup. Based on the settings, etc. my guess would be that they were from her years at Duke -- but beyond that who knows. Personally I don't see Kelly (or probably 90% of the rest of the women out there) intentionally packing on the pounds before going on S3 (imagine the bikini horror!) but for some of the guys (Tom, Frank, Lex, Carl) I can certainly envision that occurring. ...for the more "hardbody" guys -- or at least the ones that are looking like they'll be the "hardbody" guys -- like Ethan, Clarance, and Silas, I also don't see them bulking up before the show. They care enough about their looks to keep in great shape in their normal life so I doubt they are going to take the "risk" that, should they get voted out in Episode 3, the only image the public has of them is as these "overweight" (in their own minds) specimens. ...particularly Silas, who was ALREADY pursuing a Hollywood career before getting on the show.   Top

dangerkitty 1913 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 09-26-01, 11:18 PM (EST) 17. "Fattening up..." New article that specifically addresses the weight issue: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010925/re/leisure_survivor_dc_1.html The pertinent lines: Hot bodies are out and carbohydrates are in on the next edition of CBS's smash reality series ``Survivor. Unlike the second ``Survivor'' that featured a younger cast chock full of beautiful bods, the new cast is a more motley crew whose members cover a wider range of ages and are even endowed with the once unthinkable: body fat. Among the 16 contestants on ``Survivor: Africa,'' two are ''tubby guys,'' said Joe Rhodes, a TV Guide reporter who spent a few days in July on the set with the crew. One of the two tubby fellows, Tom Buchanan, is a 46 year old goat farmer from Virginia. The other, Carl Bilancione, is a 46-year-old dentist from Florida. One of the two tubby fellows, Tom Buchanan, is a 46 year old goat farmer from Virginia. The other, Carl Bilancione, is a 46-year-old dentist from Florida. ``The first cast was interesting, and the second was more eye candy -- many people thought they were boring,'' said Rhodes, whose stories on the new show will appear in next week's issue of TV Guide. ``The third cast is a combination.'' In fact, the third group may be more well rounded -- literally -- on purpose on the advice of the ``Survivor'' show doctor who told people to fatten up in advance, Rhodes said. ``All the people got so thin last year that these people were advised they should carbo load,'' he said. ``The calorie intake is 200 to 500 calories a day once the show starts.'' The food situation -- already bad in the first two shows -- will be even worse in the third show because no hunting is allowed on the game reserve where the action is set. ``There will be no wandering piglets this year,'' Rhodes said, in a reference to a graphic and controversial sequence in the second ``Survivor'' where contestants hunted down and killed a wild pig. And some bonus text - looks like their will be more "Smelli Kimmi"s this time around: Rhodes said this year's crew also will likely be much smellier than past ones due to limited washing opportunities. The one major river accessible to the cast is infested with crocodiles, while a nearby spring contains numerous parasites. ``They're going to be hotter, they're going to be hungrier and they're going to be stinkier,'' Rhodes said. dangerkitty   Top

Krautboy 2750 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 09-10-01, 02:28 AM (EST) 10. "Carl is now "considerably thinner..."" Here's a report from GatorGrrrrl, who was a patient of Carl Bilancione since he came back from Kenya. The report describes Carl's weight as "considerably thinner". Since he was a marathoner and in good shape before he left, this is probably a good indication that he is a good candidate for making it to the merger. We could use more specifics. Anyone need dental work? ----------------------------------------------------------------- GatorGrrrrrl Member 26 posts 08-28-01, 02:11 PM (PST) 20. "RE: Carl Bilancione" In response to message #0 LAST EDITED ON 08-28-01 AT 02:13 PM (PST) Anyone waiting to hear from me today ?? LOL The novocaine is still wearing off (couldn't have guessed THAT would be happening !), but here's my report: Folks, I am 99% certain this is our guy. Physical observations: He has a dark tan. Especially on his face. Dr. B is now sporting a FULL beard (a la Keith), which I have never seen him do before. His hair has grown out longer than I've ever seen in person or in any pictures. Both his beard and hair are a mixture of dark and gray (I'd say about 60% gray), he definitely does not color his hair like the dark hair you see in his group picture. He most closely resembles the picture of him on the motorcycle, but the tan, long hair and beard make him look CONSIDERABLY younger than 45. He was much more handsome than I remember too ! Makes his beautiful green eyes stand out...but I digress. Although he is a runner, he has an average build --- up until now. He has several pictures in his waiting room of himself at the different marathons he's run, the most recent one was from 1999 --- and his build was still average in that picture. He is now considerably thinner than his pictures, and he is much thinner than I have seen him before. He was wearing short-sleeved scrubs and he does have that wiry-armed look that we saw on Rodger and Keith last season. Disposition: He was VERY nice --- laughed and joked with me a bit. Chatted about a couple things we have in common. Didn't have a chance to talk with him about his summer, as he seemed very busy. He did, however, take as much time as I needed to go over what my dental problems were. The clincher: On the way out, I mentioned that I tried to get an appointment in July but was not able to. The receptionist said he was "out" the entire month of July. I didn't feel comfortable pressing her for more info, but I will get it out of her at my next appt (which *WILL* be on a Friday !) If I had to bet, I'd say Dr. B makes it far --- the physical changes coupled with his sparkling personality strongly suggests so. Now this Gator has had ENOUGH dentistry for one day ! ----------------------------------------------------------------- I think this counts as confirmation and as indication of "significant weight loss". Carl makes it to thr merger with "Big Tom"... Krautboy   Top

Good find, Krautboy and interesting comments from Gatorgrrrl... One thing I do find interesting is that Carl would go right back to his dentistry job and risk having people grill him with questions or info on Survivor so soon after getting back. I would think he'd take some time off to fly under the radar before the show and take in all the publicitiy tours after it starts. But that's just what I think I'd do... So... the early scorecard is: Likely gone before merger -- Lindsey Likely there past merger -- Big Tom (to final 4?) and Carl "Permit me to introduce myself. I am Pepe Le Pew, your lover."   Top

I don't know about you, but this all but confirms to me that he goes very far in the game. I don't think he'd lose that much simply getting to the merger, so I believe we're talking Final 3 or Final 4 here. http://www.bristolnews.com/MGBJ5IYH2SC.html The rumor is true By JASON REEVES Bristol Herald Courier Yadda yadda yadda... He had lost about 80 pounds, had grown a full beard and would neither confirm nor deny rumors that he had been out of town shooting the show.

"RE: Weight Loss Theory" Lack of weight loss was less helpful, but here's another one (pulled from Oakland Press, I think): But there still are a few imperfect ways to judge success on the show. Past contestants that advanced over several weeks reported weight losses of between 25 and 40 pounds. Colby Donaldson, Survivor II's runner-up, reportedly lost as much as 45 pounds in the Australian Outback. Black has a similar build. Friends agree that Black did not lose a significant amount of weight.   Top

From the Smyth County News: "Not only did he help his granddaddy on the farm, but I enjoy watching him play," Raymond said. Raymond is sure of two things on the show. Yes, Buchanan did lose some weight while in Africa, but not the 40-plus pounds spoken about in rumors. Also, if Tom is wearing any outfit on the show, it may be his farming bib overalls. "He’s still the same Tom," Raymond said. "He’s still wearing the same britches. I expect him to wear those bib overalls on the show. He’s a bib overall man." If one is left to wonder how many overalls could be bought with $1 million, they need not ask the Buchanan family. They will remain steadfast and silent. "We have to go by the rules and we will continue to go by the rules," Raymond said. Think this guy is an MB plant, anyone? Do we have a reliable source that he really did lose 60 lbs?   Top

He is probably 250 pounds at least. If he lost less than forty as stated by Raymond, his father, I'm not so sure he goes as far as we thought originally. He has a least sixty pounds on Colby and Keith and they both lost 25-30 pounds. He probably got past merger, but I'm not sure if he went to the final four as we had been thinking. So many conflicting reports on his weight loss, but you would think his father would have a better idea than most?   Top

"RE: More on Tom" just something more to think about with this weight loss theory. i was actually in south africa for almost the same duration as suvivor 3(july 3-august 20), and i managed to lose about 15-20lbs. although i may have eaten less and worked out a little more, it was not even a fraction of what the contestants endured. although tom's significant weight loss may be strongly associated with his apparent success in the game, he could just as much have been booted off the show, stayed in africa until the end, and lost the weight due to an altered diet. so once again, just something to think about.   Top

I also remember the gaunt, concentration camp look of Dirk after just a couple of weaks in Borneo. Nick too lost quite a bit of weight, but with the parasite or whaterver illness he was suffering from, he probably would have resulted in a fair amount of weight loss regardless of where he was. ie. in the outback or back at the ranch. Incidently, does anyone remember how much weight Elizabeth or Tina lost in the outback?   Top

Richard Hatch lost something like 39 pounds...

Thrill Seeker 220 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 10-09-01, 04:14 PM (EST) 28. "The Fat Guy Correlation" If you look at history, there is sort of a correlation to being overweight when you show up and getting close to winning. Richard, Sue, Rodger, Kelly, and Keith were all chubby when they arrived and made it close to the end. I have a feeling Big Tom's weight was lost during the game implying he made it to the near end. Of course, there is the other extreme where the very skinny people like Lis, Colleen and Tina make it a long way too. Maybe this observation is meaningless.   Top
