Krautboy 2750 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 10-16-01, 02:15 AM (EST) "RC2 Reward is Water?" Water has been a dominant theme in the show so far...Boran dumping their clean water,the tribes searching for their water source, Samburu boiling water, Boran dehydrated and longing for water. The tribes still have food, so it only makes sense that the first reward is clean fresh water... Here are some vidcaps from this week that focus on the Boran tribe and water, foreshadowing the outcome of the RC... Tom at the water hole, in the polluted water, longing for clean water. Clarence talking about the importance of water. After the reward challenge or foreshadowing a victory? Water gourds on a pole being carried by two people from the reward challenge? Clarence and Tom? Clarence drinking reward water? The Boran may sweep this week... Krautboy   Top

Add: The (IC or RC?) revolves around a "bar" and "drinking" (blood/milk). Water (God help us if it's Mountain Dew) seems to be logical...   Top

weltek 16936 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-16-01, 11:53 AM (EST) 2. "RE: RC2 Reward is Water?" I recall reading somewhere, while S3 taping was going on, that the tribes were given bottled water. I assumed they had this from day 1. Maybe that isn't true and bottled water is the reward. I'd buy that for a buck. And the Boran emphasis could lead us to believe they win. I'm still very skeptical about our conclusions on who wins the IC & RC. We have no concrete evidence that leads us to believe either. It's all really based on high speculation. Something just doesn't seem right.   Top

Bungler 497 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 10-16-01, 12:17 PM (EST) 3. "RE: RC2 Reward is Water?" Krautboy, Here's a series of caps from the gourd-carrying portion. Wonder if we can identify what the thing in the middle is (the big thing in between the gourds). My only reservation with the RC reward being water, and especially with Boran winning it, is that these are the same idiots who dumped their water because it was too heavy. They were told right off the bat how valuable water was and they still dumped it. Assuming they win RC, would they have to carry water back to their camp? Then again, we have Clarence in the preview talking about the value of water. Maybe they finally figured out how important it is to their survival. Bungler   Top

Krautboy 2750 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 10-16-01, 12:33 PM (EST) 4. "...thing in the middle..." Bungler, Thanks for the great vidcaps as always. From your vidcaps it looks like the "thing in the middle" may just be the silouette of someone walking next to the two people carrying the gourds. In the last pic the silouette is off to the right and no longer in the middle. The person at the back of the pole is wearing a hat and is probably a male. This is not of much value because Tom, Clarence, Lex, Silas, and Frank all have wide brimmed hats. The reward could also be a combination of water and food which must be carried back to camp. I think it's safe to say the Boron will not be dumping the water this time... Krautboy   Top

40thandUp 43 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 10-16-01, 01:38 PM (EST) 5. "RE: ...thing in the middle..." If you look closely it appears that the thing in the middle is attached by ropes/strings to the bar as well. I would guess that it may just be a larger ceramic container like they had when they first set out to their camps. On another note. Last year it was debated whether we (up in Canada) watching Global wound up seeing slightly different previews for each week. Has anyone noticed anything along the same lines this year?   Top

Bungler 497 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 10-16-01, 10:26 PM (EST) 9. "RE: ...thing in the middle..." LAST EDITED ON 10-16-01 AT 10:32 PM (EST) Good catch, 40th... Here's a capture of Boran pouring out their water from Ep 1. Looks to be the same container that's in the middle. So this is very likely Boran. This makes me think that this is not RC-related, no matter if water is a reward or not. If it were, Boran & Samburu would have had to transport their gourds/containers to the challenge site in order to take their haul home.   Top

Krautboy 2750 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 10-17-01, 01:12 AM (EST) 10. "RE: ...thing in the middle..." Nice work Bungler, you nailed it! Now what does it all mean? Krautboy   Top

Krautboy 2750 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 10-16-01, 03:34 PM (EST) 8. "Jumping to conclusions?" Maybe we are jumping to conclusions... This series shows two tribe members wearing hats carrying something that looks like gourds tied to a pole. Men who have hats could be Silas and Frank if it's a picture of Samburu or Clarence,Tom or Lex if it's Boran. They may be coming back from a Challenge, they may be competeing in a challenge or they may be on a "water fetch". Questions: Do we have any pictures of the male tribe members arriving at or competeing in the RC wearing wide brimmed hats or do they remove them for the challenges? Have we seen any vidcaps that show these shapes of gourds belonging to one tribe or another? Guess it's apparent that we have much more speculation that facts...but looking at these pictures in the context of the storyline and other vidcaps, I am still leaning twords a Boran victory in the RC with a reward of food and water.

allaboutme 13 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 10-16-01, 01:45 PM (EST) 6. "RE: RC2 Reward is Water?" It seems odd that only two people would be carrying all of the water back to camp. Why wouldn't they divide it up? I think that more likely this is part of the challenge itself. Remember the one in S2 where Mike and Colby had to hold the weighted poles? Maybe the team that lasts the longest gets to take back all of the water they had on their pole.   Top

Krautboy 2750 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 10-16-01, 03:15 PM (EST) 7. "Part of Challenge or Unloading the reward?" LAST EDITED ON 10-16-01 AT 03:18 PM (EST) Allaboutme, good observation. Yes it does look like the silouette in the middle is coming up to the two members holding the water and removing one of the gourds. In the last pic in the series it does appear that one of the gourds that was hanging on the pole has been removed. I am still speculating that this is a pic of the water gourds being unloaded after the return to camp. We will keep looking for challenge pics that might place this as part of the RC itself.

Frau Hexe 716 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 10-17-01, 07:40 PM (EST) 11. "RE: RC2 Reward is Water?" I'm just not getting RC from these caps. I especially don't think this is the weighted pole bit because these appear to be the same water recepticals they've had since the beginning, AND there are only these three recepticals on the pole--not much weight to that. Not to mention that this wouldn't make much sense as a weighted pole challenge. One or both team members would have to let go of the pole in order for another receptical to be loaded on, then they'd have to pick it back up--it just doesn't seem like MB's style--not very practical, and in fact, a little clumsy, in terms of a challenge. Doesn't it seem logical that the tribes, for their own benefit, would figure out techniques to easily carry as much water as possible with only two people (as shown above with poles) so that the whole tribe needn't go gather water? In this case, doesn't this simply look like two of the men (from either tribe) are on a run-of-the-mill water run? This seems far more likely to me. Frau Hexe   Top

Frau Hexe 716 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 10-17-01, 08:02 PM (EST) 12. "RE: RC2 Reward is Water?" All right, I just looked at the Ep2 RC vid caps, and I definitely don't think this is RC material. Look at the size of the poles they're using in the RC: As opposed to the size of this pole: Although they still *could* be carrying water back from the RC, I highly doubt it now. It really looks like they're transporting water from the water hole. Frau Hexe   Top
