"Maraamu goes to TC once more...?" |
LAST EDITED ON 03-31-02 AT 03:01 PM (EST)While rewatching my tape of Ep.4, I noticed something that has been bothering me. I don't know if this is a trick of the light, but it looks to me that Pascal's black long-sleeved pull-over suddenly turns Pascal Blue in the over-the-shoulder vote-writing shot. It looks like the exact same type of clothing, but the color is not the same. Also--the stubble on Pascal's cheek appears much longer in the over-the-shoulder shot that the frontal shot (particularly noticable difference when he turns to walk away after voting). Any vidcappers out there who can supply a comparison? (Front view of Pascal walking up to vote vs. over the shoulder).

The shirt that Paschal is wearing at the Ep4 TC is black. You can see it clearly with better lighting when JP asks Paschal his question. He is also wearing it earlier in the episode under the short sleeved blue t-shirt before they go crab hunting. However, in the over-the-shoulder TC shot, his shirt is much bluer than would be possible with a black shirt in different lighting. This is his long sleeved blue shirt that says "Reebok" on the front, and is obviously different from his usual blue t-shirt and his long sleeved black one that he wore to Ep4 TC. Also, in the over-the-shoulder shot, it seems that his hat is not bent in the odd way it is in the frontal shot.While it may seem unbelievable that MB would put in a clip from a future TC in, it's not like he hasn't done it before. In episode one, in Rob's over-the-shoulder TC shot, you can clearly see that the buff around his wrist is blue, and that his hat is on forwards instead of backwards. By matching it up, we now know that this shot comes from Ep5 TC. If MB would use such a noticable clip in that shot, it is not out of the question to assume that a more subtle case could be repeated.

Oh my gawd, you're right! Sorry, I didn't notice Paschal actually ~had~ a black shirt (who's keeping the clothing list this year anyway?) Damn, looks like Mara ~will~ be going back to TC afterall (unless for some reason MB edited that clip)And for anyone who doesn't want to go back and see it, yes you ~can~ clearly see the yellow buff in both shots, except his shirt turns from blue to black. (You can also see at the end when he holds up the Sarah vote during the credits that it is the black shirt) Good find lk! ---------------------------------------- Now let us never speak of S3 again.

It still could be from a post-merge TC with digital imaging to change the color of the buff, maybe even the shirt. Remember how Brandon and Frank had the same confessional scenes used before and after the merge with digital recoloring done to their buffs. Not saying this is what this is, only pointing out a possibility which should be considered.

12. "RE: Stand in?" |
You are correct that the shot where Tom's tattoo jumped to the wrong shoulder was never explained, and may have been a stand-in (body double). MB has traditionally used his doubles to create additional shots, usually long-shots (as in aerial views of challenges), for the purpose of editing together a better presentation. Unless something went wrong with the camera during the TC, or something happened to the video afterwards, I can't see him using the doubles for anything in TC, particularly if he can cull shots from other (previous or subsequent) TCs to serve that purpose. It is an intriguing prospect, though.Prior to it turning out the Rob TC shot had relevance, I primarily considered these odd "gaffe" bits to be in the vein of that Scharzenegger movie ("Last Action Hero" or something) where continuity mistakes were intentionally shot for the film, just something MB was doing because he could and he knew it would drive us to look for relevance in them.

The contestants are only allowed One long sleeve shirt in there small list of items they are allowed to bring. therefore Paschal could not have a blue and black long sleeve shirt. there has to be another explanation."I know I don't know you, and you're probably not what you seem, but I sure would like to find out so why don't you climb down of that TV screen" Gina Crews, the Sole Survivor!

Doesn't Paschal only have a SHORT sleeve blue shirt, and a LONG sleeve black one?

LAST EDITED ON 04-01-02 AT 08:01 PM (EST)Okay well that seems like the most likely answer now.... But now I need to know: Did anyone on the cast have a long sleeve blue shirt? Also, I'm no lighting expert, but how is the blue hitting only that area of the shirt, while the light hitting everywhere else is plain white light? Another thing: How is it that the blue light isn't showing in the other 2 caps where he's up there? Are we assuming that when the Survivors go up, the lighting crew adjusts the lights to their liking? ---------------------------------------- Now let us never speak of S3 again.

The only explanation I can come up with is that this shot is digitally altered to make the shirt look blue. I don't think the lighting would change it so dramatically. But the rest of Paschal seems exactly the same. The most important piece of this is that the logo on the buff is in exactly the same position in the blue and black shirt shots - on the left side of his neck extending to just below his ear and no farther back. How much of a coincidence would it have to be for him to go to 2 different tribal counsels with the buff LOGO in the exact same place?

There's a thread over at the EZboard that's also going with this (took it from here, though ;)http://pub53.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm2.showMessage?topicID=12759.topic Someone in that thread mentions something interesting: Just to settle the lighting issue - can anyone put up vidcaps of the others at the voting booth (so we can see if they're blue-lit also)? (N/K/G) ---------------------------------------- Now let us never speak of S3 again. Gabriel: "Alright, John go straight! Straight!" - Um, Gabe?

23. "RE: Maraamu goes to TC once more...?" |
First of all--thank you all for contemplating what this means. I'm still not fully convinced either way on what it means, but it is something to contemplate.I don't think this is an absolute spoiler. There are many factors that call it into question. 1. Neleh's t-shirt (white with blue sleeves)--the blue sleeves look a variety of colors from dark navy (almost black) to fully blue. When she votes, her over-the-shoulder shot does bring out the blue color quite strongly. However, even in the "dark" shots, Neleh's color is definately blue, and Pascal's pull-over does not appear to have any blue color to it...nothing that would indicate such a strong color change from shot to shot. 2. Pascal's pull-over looks like the exact same shirt, just color-enhanced. Is it possible that Pascal has two shirts that are exactly the same? I guess it is possible, but some have pointed out that the Survivors are only allowed one long-sleeved shirt such as this. I am not totally convinced that that is absolutely true, but it definately lends credence to doubt. And judging by the color of the cuff, this does not look like a blue t-shirt pulled over his black shirt. 3. Pascal's Buff. It looks like it is in the same position, but it is really hard to tell. I went back and forth with myself trying to find enough of a difference between the two to be able to conclusively decide if it was exactly the same of slightly different. Regardless, it is close enough to appear to be in the same position, so I'm probably looking for something that isn't there. 4. Pascal's facial hair. His frontal shot looks like less growth than the over-the-shoulder shot to me. However, the light in the over-the shoulder shot makes the silver hairs shine, while the frontal shot's light allows his silver beard growth to look almost invisible. So this is at best inconclusive. So...ultimately, I can't put too much credence into this as a real spoiler. I'm not totally convinced that this is just a trick of the light, but I'm not totally convinced that it isn't either. Lord knows, I'd rather see Rotu go to TC, regardless. On a completely unrelated topic that probably belongs on Fanatics, but doesn't really fit there either... I think Rob could have made a brilliant move by voting for Sean in the last TC. No one would think that he would vote for Sean, and it would make John think that someone in his 4-person voting block didn't follow his orders, throwing John into more paranoia about who he trusts. This could have been the most strategic move to make. MB would have been sure to show both non-Gabe votes, and as long as Sean didn't know about it, Sean would help sell it as a betrayal by one of the Rotu's against John. (Call this the honorary Teresa Cooper strategy, although she wasn't even aware of how effective this strategy can be with someone so vulnerable as Lex...or John).
