"Ethan had glasses last EP! WTF?"
Whoa... anger just set in over me.... Ethan had glasses... If he had glasses, why did it take the Moron's so long to create fire? Obviously, if someone watched S1, or had any scientific knowledge... then.... grrrr.

If you remember in S2, Rodger wasn't allowed to have his reading glasses with him the first couple of episodes until after a fire had been built because they learned from the lessons of BB using his glasses to make a fire in S1. I think it has been documented elsewhere that MB would not allow anyone to have their glasses with them until after both tribes have established a fire.

Ack, yet another reason why I could never play Survivor, I can't see beyond two inches without my glasses. I still don't understand why Boran didn't take stock after they got to camp, find the telescope like Samburu did, and make fire; if they all knew about lenses being used to make fire because all their fire-making glasses were confiscated for the first three days, this especially makes no sense. Or did Boran leave their med kit behind with the other supplies they didn't bring to camp?

I recall in the first few episodes that Jessie had glasses on. They were tinted. Could they have still been used?

The lenses would have to be designed to focus light, like prescription or reading glasses, or the lenses in telescopes and binoculars.

Jessie talked about this on the Early Show the day after she got booted -- they checked her glasses and determined these were incapable of being used for something like starting a fire, so they OK'ed her to keep them from the start.

I remember, also, that Elisabeth also had her stylish glasses in S2 that weren't present in the early episodes of the show.

As for the telescope, I don't think they anticipated anyone thinking of using it to start a fire so they said "ok" to including it in the first-aid supplies kit. You can bet yer red ass that MB won't allow this kind of stuff in the supplies kit in Tahiti for S4.

I don't know about that, Pepe, it seemed to me MB planted the telescope to see if anyone would find it and use it for making fire. If not a telescope in S4 maybe something else will be planted in the supplies that could have a fire-starting dual-purpose. But that's S4. Getting back to S3:

A suggestion that we could have our winner right here? This will be interesting to go back on the further the game goes. We'll have to bump this post if Lindsey goes to the final 4.

Leave it to EPM to discriminate against those of us who are "optically challenged". I shudder to think about keeping my contacts disinfected out there, so I'd be forced to bring my coke bottles. Making fire would be the only strength I'd have going for me!

I remember reading someplace that Boran DID find the telescope lens and tried to make fire with it, but were unsuccessful. We just never saw it...

MB wants his contestants looking beautiful.

We've heard from past contestants, that there is contact lens solution provided in the first aid kit, so that the contestants can clean and wear their contact lenses.

Also in the first aid kit:
-tampons/sanitary napkins
-antibacterial soap
-telescope
-band aids

...that's all that I've heard confirmed for sure... but I'm sure that there's more.


You never know what might be up my sleeeve...

Only magnifying lenses will start a fire. Not all eye glass lenses are magnifiers. Some are reducing lenses. Others correct for astigmatism.
