zzz 703 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 03-08-02, 09:56 AM (EST) "Can We Ignore Tahiti Press Now?" Apparently, there have been various reports about what the Tahitian press wrote about Survivor 4. I believe that two of them have now been proven false: (i) three people refused to participate in the "gross food" challenge and (ii) the first two people voted off were from different tribes (someone correct me if I am wrong that these "spoilers" were attributed to these press reports). Does anyone think there is any value left in trying to use these press reports as reliable spoilers?   Top

Is it possible that these tahiti press reports were red herrings planted by MB to throw us off the trail? Or did the reporters just not know what they were talking about?   Top

Is it possible that these tahiti press reports were red herrings planted by MB to throw us off the trail? Or did the reporters just not know what they were talking about? As Webby pointed out in the East Coast thresd last night, it was probably some of both. MB probably found these reporters easy to manipulate, and they dutifully reported what they thought to be true, not realizing they were being duped. *** Contradictions don't exist.

LAST EDITED ON 03-08-02 AT 11:22 AM (EST) I already voiced my opinion of the whole thing last night: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/2340.shtml#50 I probably sound like a broken record, but I've been saying FOR MONTHS that I was unconvinced that any of the TP (that's just about the right abbreviation) articles were useful. They just seem to be a very crappy source of reporting -- conflicts everywhere, no acknowledgement of previous conflicting reports, etc. Hell, the African Standard was a far more credible paper. Maybe we can now finally kill the "one tribe moves before the merge," and "jury of 14" rumors -- time to file them away with the "S3's TC is in a treehouse" rumor. And: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/2340.shtml#53 >Do you suppose MB used that paper as a red herring >source?!?! I threw out the idea several months ago... I don't think the reporters knew they might have been getting used, but I suggested that MB might have been playing them. ...I think I particularly mentioned it when the whole "1 tribe moves" idea was thrown out and their "evidence" was the area where the other tribe was still supposedly located was "still being patroled." My thought was that what was to stop Burnett from doing something as simple as keeping a couple of guards in the area and making the locals think the tribe was still there when instead they had already secretly moved to a new third merged tribe camp along with the other tribe. It just seems too damn easy for Burnett to have played games with these guys -- even without having to resort to paying off some of the locals to lie to the reporters. I've heard that there are still TP defenders out there now claiming that TP wasn't wrong, they were misquoted (something about TP saying that when Burnett first saw this native dish, three of the DINNER GUESTS refused to eat it) but I'm not buying it -- these guys are even worse than the Futurizmo folks. -SB   Top

What does confuse me though, was that the article about the gross food said that he discovered the dish in late September, and the date of the IC challenge was in early September. Naked   Top

Personally, I never saw any evidence that there was more than one Futurizmo guy, and if his name wasn't Varner it should have been. > What does confuse me though, >was that the article about >the gross food said that >he discovered the dish in >late September, and the date >of the IC challenge was >in early September. > The original schedule for filming S4 would have had the game begin in October, I believe, but 9/11 forced them to find a new location and the game didn't commence until November. And, yeah, I think MB exploited the Tahitians' lack of knowledge about Survivor knowing it would leak out to spoilers, just his way of saying, "Pardon my French."   Top
