PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

House building-thing is the IC? Damn, I've thought all week that was pretty weak challenge, never mind it's merits as a IC -- that's even worse. ...if the house-carrying thing is the IC, then things are not looking good for Samburu (given their lack of water, lack of any strong equivalents to Boran's four strong men team of Tom/Lex/Ethan/Clarence.) ...we also have Carl's post-boot interview comment that implied things didn't end up working out for the GXA or such -- although exactly what that means (problems before the merge? problems going into the merge with only 4 people?) is very unclear. -SB

The reason for a Samburu to sit out is that they will be running fewer legs of the relay if they don't. Admittedly, for a few items and a one-person difference, it won't be much, but think of it in terms of a bigger imbalance in the number of people (eg, 3 to 6 - each person on the smaller team has to run two races for each race run by a person on the larger team. If there are, say, a dozen items, then each small team player runs 4 laps, while each large team member runs only 2).Of course, every time I analyze something, MB does it the other way... )O_II

You all raise some interesting points (and thanks, dabo for the prompt reply). It may be to the Borans advantage to repeat a player in the RC. They can choose their best candidate, and he/she will have the advantage of knowing the course during the second run. If the Borans have to repeat a player I would think they would choose Kelly, who is young and flexible and would probably scramble the best. Lex is tall, and that would be a disadvantage IMO. Ethan is all thumbs and his hair would get tangled in the net. Clarence, Tom and MamaKim don’t seem like obvious choices. If Kelly is responsible for a Boran win then it might explain why she is being featured on the local news.On the other hand, Boran might not want to depend on Kelly again after she lost the blood-drinking challenge. As far as the house building, I hadn’t thought of putting the thing back together. Frank may indeed have the skills to direct this, but will the mallrats listen to him? KimP and Lindsey have mentioned in every episode that they don’t like to take orders from him. If they choose to ignore an oldster’s directives, that is another scenario for Linda’s sarcastic “thank you” to Lindsey. If Boran wins another RC, one would think that the fresh water and food items would make them even harder to beat in upcoming episodes. The “twist” in ep 5 could just be that they lose the next challenges anyway. Lame, yes… but I don’t put a lot of stock in the hints they’ve been dropping. ess_too_dee

I agree with you, except on one point. Although the mall rats have complained about Frank's orders i have noticed they almost always follow them. When he was directing them about the boma building and the SOS sign, they all rolled thier eyes and complained, but continued to do what he directed.

There are 12 bags, so Each Boran goes twice, whatever happens with Samburu Smburu either uses everyone the first time and two people go only once, or they sit one out and everyone goes twice. Either way Samburu has some choice. Boran has done.I can see Tom just flailing with the net component, but who knows? In the house-building, I agree that Frank makes a good director and the Xers will listen to him during the challenge. Lex is potentially good director for Boran assembly. I think Tom will shut up and follow directions. If it takes brains, i.e. a puzzle, then Kelly (brainiac) could be an asset.

12. "RE: The Rock Formation/Boran" |
In the second segment on the Early Show, on survival:they said: "Out in the bush, everyone has protection from animal attacks..." As they said it, they showed a shot of the rock formation (empty) on which we've seen Boran standing. Could there be a connection? I posted earlier that they could be up there taking refuge from the Cape Buffalo (having dropped their load, I mean their gourds and poles) and high-tailed it out of there. There is a vidcap of Boran running down a slope not wearing challenge buffs... Some picnic.
