"Is Osten faking or is he really a BIG WUSS?!" |
Okay, I've read a few posts regarding Osten's "strategy". Some have speculated that Osten's whining and lack of ability at the challenges is all strategy on his part to keep him from being a target. Personally, I don't buy it...I may have to eat this post later but at this point I doubt it. I think he really is A BIG WUSS. That whole near "drowning" thing looked like a cover-up to me. Example...in the 4th grade we had to run two laps around the track under a certain amount of time to pass gym class. Me, being the cute chubby type knew half a lap into it I was never going to make it...and I don't get F's. So, being the plump but bright girl that I was I faked a hyperventilation attack and was taken to the nurse, sent home, given a weeks bed rest (with the TV brought into my room) and a B in gym. A little cover up and sympathy go a long way. Osten made it out to the buoyed area fine, he went under a couple of times and JUST LIKE SKINNY RYAN could not pull himself to the bottom to get the puzzle piece. After so many lambasted Skinny Ryan's performance (including Osten) he could not just swim back with his tail between his legs so he fakes a little drowning, gets some sympathy and doesn't look like another skinny Ryan. I might buy into the whole "I want to go home" strategy IF Osten was performing well in challenges. How could anyone foresee that being a whiner and performing poorly is the way to the final two? I don't get it! Yea, the near drowning was fake, but the rest...he's just a wuss (with really big muscles)!

LAST EDITED ON 10-10-03 AT 08:08 AM (EST)LAST EDITED ON 10-10-03 AT 08:07 AM (EST) Osten is a really big WUSSY. I am not so sure he is all that intelligent either....after all he traded his close away and then didn't spend all the money.... edited because I can't spell or type. Even the dancers at the nudie bar know better than to throw an IC.

He's not only a wuss, but he's a none-too-bright wuss! The mask is supposed to go OVER YOUR EYES, not on your forehead! Of course you're going to get discouraged if you're a poor swimmer and can't see what you're trying to pick up.The guy is a monster. He could probably turn me into a squashed Beetle Bailey in no time flat. It's just disappointing to see that he didn't physically prepare for the game (by improving his swimming skills), nor mentally prepare for the hardships in advance. I can't put my finger on it. It's similar to the outstanding athlete who always finished first and won championships through his/her youth, and is a huge athletic success. But, when he/she is finally challenged with competition or meets that first bit of adversity, he/she just totally folds mentally. I don't get it. This is a game that's about stretching both mental and physical limits. Osten just seems like he's in over his head, but he should be in control.

I gotta agree with you on that one...I mean HELLO didn't he even watch any of the other Survivors to know that he'd be swimming?! WHAT A PUSS! I'm on the fence as to whether he's faking or not... we haven't really heard him discussing too much strategy to date...he might just be good looking, well built and dumb as a box of hair! Funny how his "I want to go home" routine suddenly disappeared though....hmmmmmmm gonna have to think about this one!

10. "I'm about to drown!!" |
That's right, folks. With my last breath, instead of yelling: "I'm drowning," I'm going to add some extra, unnecessary words just to make sure that this one, last, glorious breath is completely wasted."I'm about to drown!!" WTF is that?? That's not a cry for help, it's a frickin announcement. A play by play. "I'm flailing my arms and gasping my breath and now, watch closely folks...I'm about to drown!" It's all a ruse. If he were really drowning, he'd be getting that message across fast.

14. "RE: Boo Hoo Mama's Boy" |
Ever since he first boo hooed over losing his tarp and cried to go home, I have been waiting for him to be kicked off. They wanted him to stay for his strength. Laugh. He was been directly responsable for losing two challenges. GET RID OF HIM ! After he almost drowned (yeah, right,I am buying that one, you Choked, Pal, You Choked!) with the goggles on top of his forehead, I have to say that I agree; he is indeed pathetic and that that has to be his stategy because it is pathetic, too. I have to wonder how he makes it in the real world. Waaaaaaa Waaaaaaaa
