"Paratrooper's pick...."
LAST EDITED ON 10-30-02 AT 01:57 PM (EST)

Paratrooper has his pick already...don't read if you don't want to know...

Edited to add/change the following:
The pick appears to be Shii Ann, but it is not perfectly clear. I encourage you all to go to the sight, right click on the empty photo box, go to properties,and you'll see his slightly disguised pick written in the URL. Please also notice there are not enough x's to properly spell Shii Ann, so maybe it's really somebody else.

If you're not going to put the actual NAME of Paratrooper's pick in your post, then why did you label it "don't read if you don't want to know?" I *did* want to know, and your post does not tell me. Even someone who did NOT want to know could safely read your post.

But, y'know, thanks for the lovely link that I already have bookmarked.

Wow. I must really be a total idiot. Thanks for making me feel so welcome here.

I chose not to put the name in there after last week's very long and controversial thread regarding whether or not to reveal these picks. I'm really sorry the two extra clicks it takes to reveal the answer is so hard on you.

Anybody else wanna take a shot at me? I'm thinking about starting a new thread at bashers for your convenience--

Thanks for making me feel so welcome here.

Anyone can tell you I am not a member of the Hospitality Wagon. Anyone could also tell you I am not in the habit of flaming anyone but realityTV media whores. I don't have a problem with you. I don't even KNOW you. I have a problem with your *actions* in this one particular instance, and I told you so. Don't mistake that for a personal attack, mmmkay?

I chose not to put the name in there after last week's very long and controversial thread regarding whether or not to reveal these picks.

Yes, and the result of that thread, unless I am very much mistaken, was that someone was welcome to post the name of Paratrooper's or ABT's or Snewser's pick, as long as you had to actually click into the post to see it. You complied with that part, but when your subject line claims to give us Paratrooper's pick, and then all you do is give us directions on how to get to his site, what exactly is the point of posting this? Why take the trouble of making sure you don't "spoil" it for a casual reader by putting ample space in the body of the message to ensure that someone has to click into the thread to see the name, when all you're going to do is give us the link to PT's site?

I'm really sorry the two extra clicks it takes to reveal the answer is so hard on you.

Aside from the fact that others, including myself, seemed to be having problems with the rather unwieldy site, the point of posting something like this on the SB Spoiler board is to share information, so that we don't HAVE to go to someone else's site and dig for it. We all have PT's website address. If I wanted to go to the site, I could, at any time. YOU purported to be ready to TELL us who PT's pick was, and you didn't. So why post?

Anybody else wanna take a shot at me? I'm thinking about starting a new thread at bashers for your convenience--

Wow. One person criticizes something you do and suddenly it's "pile on wheezy" day? You must be having a worse day than I am.

"You must be having a worse day than I am."

I doubt that's possible. But there you go...that's the spirit! I know deep down you really do care about me. And my day is going really well, actually.

Listen, Samiam, I really want to squash the beef with you (to use the words of a true peacemaker, Robb). I'm sorry you feel I posted the thread wrong. I've made changes to the original post, though I'm sure you are muttering that it's too late now. I will try to improve my *actions*. Please forgive my shortcomings as I strive to be a better spoiler.

Wow...I'm gonna hold my tongue/fingers since I would hate to be unable to post on this board anymore for making a personal attack on a poster...especially one that has over 1000 posts. I will certainly agree though that you are not a member of the hospitality wagon. I sure am glad you are able to be kind and tender on yourself at least when describing yourself cause I certainly wouldn't have chosen those words to describe your *actions* mmmmkay?

Paratrooper appears to be pulling an snewswer this week, and the name of his pick is slightly encrypted. If you look at the properties, you can figure it out.

Here is the URL address for the episode 7 boot photo:

Edited again to say right click on the box and go to properties and you should see the URL address.

Notice "sxxxxn".

I guess this is supposed to be Shii Ann, though there are not enough x's to represent the missing letters.

I compared the URL adresses of the other boot photos, and the names are not included.

I am not sure that we can conclusively say that this is Paratrooper's pick yet.

Edited to say sorry if you can't see the URL address. I can't on my computer.

I agree with Sam (sans any interpreted negative tones).
The wording on the opening post was misleading.

Also, I don't think anyone should encourage SNewser, Paratrooper (or the herds to follow) to start a weekly "guess MY picks".

Could someone please put Paratroopers guess in this thread. This message board is for spoiling and solving the puzzles of Survivor, not solving the puzzles of spoilers.

16. "RE: Paratrooper's pick...."
Thank you true.
Each week the name is imbedded in the url. After the episode airs, I'm guessing paratrooper saves the photo to his hard drive and renames it, without the pick's name (which I think is why the Robb pic and all the others from previous weeks don't have the name clue anymore).
I can't explain the missing x. Maybe it's a typo. I have no idea. I just noticed it this morning while browsing, checked to see if anyone had posted it, saw that no one did, waited a little longer, and still it did not get posted. I know it wasn't there yesterday, 'cause I was looking for Ep 5 & 6 photos and the photo box wasn't there.

"Also, I don't think anyone should encourage SNewser, Paratrooper (or the herds to follow) to start a weekly "guess MY picks"."

Thank you Big Idiot, the alpha geek - hacker wannabe crap needs to GO. Just make your damn picks and be done with it. If your gonna play little cyber geek games at least make them challenging and worthwhile.

I told all you guys that Snewster was fvckin with us, but nooooooooooo everyone wrote it off as Snoochie's just ranting again, Snoochie had too much coffee today , Snoochie's a Snewster basher.

So HA! I'm right you're wrong, nananananana.

I believed you Snoocharoo.

I'm still picking Ken. It's just a scrambled URL, could put anyone's name and it will take you back to CBS. His other pics are linked to his site. So I don't know how much he knows or doesn't but it sounds like his personal guess, and next week I'll put a pic of my A-- on my site and will have it link to Shii Ann's pic as a clue of the next "BOOT-Y". Unless of course she's gone tomorrow.
And I really only wanted to say "how's the brown dog"?

32. "INSTRUCTIONS : FREE OF CHARGE"

1) Stay right here and don't go anywhere until you read this entire set of instructions
2) In this very thread, scroll up(arrows on right of your screen moving towards heaven, not down to hell) up, up to post #9 by Bebekid.
3) Notice the two empty picture boxes? They are the squares with red Xs in them.
4) Put your pointer (do I need to define pointer?) on one of the boxes, and RIGHT CLICK on your mouse. A drop down list should appear, and scroll down to the last line and you are at "properties".
5) Open "properties". It is a file and on that file the URL will have a sequence of words seperated by / symboles. Write them down!
6) Repeat steps 4 and 5 on the next picture.
7) Compare the two addresses. Bebekid was kind enough to show the difference in the two URLs.
8) Everybody, thank BebeKid, and "EVERYBODY WANG CHUNG TONIGHT!'

AND DON'T BELIEVE EVRYTHING YOU READ IN URLs! If you run out of electronic fun, take the Beatles "White Album" and play it backwards. I think it has the name of the final survivor.

ok. i'm having a real problem figuring the name out. can/will someone PLEASE make a damn post with the name clearly stated in it? could wheezy do it since wheezy started the thread?

i have been out of work and sitting at home for almost 2 weeks with a severe case of the flu and strep throat. i only have occassional periods during the day that the medication levels off and i can think intelligently.

this site has been one of the few places that i can occupy my time and feel connected during my quarrantine, but this thread is requiring way too much effort for me. i just can't do it. but i DO want the information.

This is the URL. After the word 'survivors/' is sxxxxn. This could or could not be interpreted as Shii Ann, or Shiann, or shiian. This is the first time that I can remember that he didn't just spell out the whole name. Maybe it's just a trick. The show airs on Halloween, after all.



If you use your mouse to right click on the box above, a window comes up. About half-way down (inside this box) is a long string of letters starting with http. Others have posted the URL above- you may want to read thru the thread again. When I tried to cut and paste, the box appeared.

This is confusing to me.
I'm too lazy to search it out, but didn't Paratrooper previously declare Shii to be one of the final 3 or something like that? How can she be next according to the same "source?"

26. "RE: Paratrooper's pick...."
That's an interesting question. It seems to obviously be her, but there are a couple of glitches:
Previously stated in this thread, in past weeks, Paratrooper has just typed out the name, not with the xxxxx's in the middle. Since there is no one else who's name starts with s and ends with n, what is the point of the xxxxx? It's not like anyone couldn't figure that out. Also, there is one letter missing. This seems like a simple typo, but the two things together make me wonder.
Finally, like I said above, Paratrooper originally said Shii was one of the final three and maybe the winner. Now he says she's going this week.
I can't think of an alternative explanation for what sxxxxn could mean, so I did vote her as going this week. On the other hand, people (snoocharoo for one) who have posted to this thread have then voted for Ken in the voting thread, so they must not be totally convinced by this tip.

The Early Show has Shii Ann listed as 'Shi Ann'.
Shi Ann = sxxxxn
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/08/13/earlyshow/series/survivor/main518556.shtml

Perhaps that is Paratroopers connection?
Anyways I personally think he is just having some fun with the spoiler community.
Last week he threw up Jan as a possible pick and in week 3 he had pictures of
Shii Ann posted at tribal council.
I am sure he/she is enjoying all the chatter out here..

Only one thing to do then, right? Substitute the other contestants names instead of the Sxxxxxn, cause you could type "#####" instead and until you have the right word you will not get a pic. Upload every possibility, and you will get a picture from CBS of whoever's name you typed because it is their picture link, but the file extension on their main pics is /main_pic.jpg. So that could be changed too, since it is /sm_2_x.jpg here, or picked up on a different page.

Well, PT also mentioned Penny as a final three, so it isn't too contradictary.

I think the thread starter is someone who is very familiar with computers. If any of you reading this haven't figured it out, it's not because you lack any intelligence, it's just that those of us who work with computers and websites, can read URLs better.

35. "RE: Paratrooper's pick...."
I don't think PT has exactly made official picks, more like clues...

Last week he put up placeholders for one from each tribe, and Robb was for SJ.

The fire on Shii Ann's intro pic--he intimated she would go farther, back when we were voting for her early on. Well, she did go farther. Now he is hinting she's completed her story arc, I think.

But then I would think that because I've already been saying that for days, and we tend to believe confirmation of our own theories and resist evidence that we are wrong. Except for when we are waffling and feel we are wrong, and are anxious to get pointed somewher better of course.

So if you believe it's Ken you probably think it's important that there aren't enough x's for her whole name and if you think it's Shii Ann you say "oh well--who else could it be?"

Does Paratrooper KNOW everything about the show? I for one don't think so, but I think sometimes he has selective info, and he rarely publishes something as definite when he's not sure. On the other hand, he's not always sure, and he has been known to change his mind.

That's only my guess.
btw, I don't see anything wrong with webmaster spoilers playing with their picks and having some fun. If you don't like it, ignore it.

MB plays games; it's inevitable that some people who want to outwit his game will play games of their own. The sport of spoiling attracts people who like mysteries.

I think that it's good for us to consider looking at these alternative ways of decoding PT's hints.

However, I doubt that Erin will go this week. I don't think she's had enough face time and she hasn't had anything happen that she needs to be redeemed for yet. If MB were to boot her without giving her some face time he would probably lose all of the heterosexual male viewers (that don't buy into the theory that she is actually a male by birth).

40. "Paratrooper's record"
I don't know about the first two episodes as I didnt follow what he did then. From Jed on he has added the pic links for the tribe/person who he believes is next. The picks have generally been late in the day Thursday, but sometimes earlier. The last two the names have clearly been identified with no "x"'s, but part of a subdirectory reference. Jed's was x'ed in the same manner as the current one. I expect it is shiann one word, but others can argue otherwise if they choose. From jed on he has been absolutely correct, even when others have picked differently. In particular I have noted that paratroopers picks have been up before Snewers, and on the two occurences when Snewser changed his pick I have wondered if he simply copied it from Paratrooper once paratrooper posted his pick.

The one exception to all of this was last week when late in the day he posted a second link for Jan to go along with the Robb link that was up much earlier (the jan link had question marks on it and he did not remove the Robb link). Why he did this I don't know, because he like Snewser posts no reasons for their picks simply the person they beleive is going.

As far as how to weigh it, I think it is not prudent to discount it completely. In the same manner it is foolish to discount Snewser either... your odd simply are not very good.

I find PT's supposed pick to be a bit obvious at first glance..that is one reason why I am a little hesitant to believe it is Shii right away...I think there is some sort of catch or something..I mean Snewer's little code last week was a bit less obvious at first glance..so that is the difference I guess

However PT is very reliable..although I am still confused cuz it basically alludes to the fact that he thinks Shii makes the final 3...so i am really confused....

Thanks for the excellent explanation, ICB!
It's good to get the detailed history, as I have not followed PT's site very closely--I find it a little hard to look at. (I usually hear his picks over here.)

It seems then that these are actual picks (contrary to what I said above) and some of the other references on the site to things that are "interesting" are more teasers--perhaps answers he chooses not to reveal yet, perhaps areas he has yet to decide upon.

As you said, when he gives a pick, it doesn't make much sense to ignore or deny it, given his track record. Maybe he's keeping it cryptic for now because it's early and he wants to give people a nudge in the Shii Ann direction but not totally ruin their fun if they want to run with Ken, Jan, Erin, etc..

Personally, I think Paratrooper is just playing us with this URL business.

Paratrooper has NEVER played around like this with the URLs. Usually he puts the pic up late Thursday.

I am wondering if he's really just playing everyone for lemmings. It wouldn't be the first time, and Paratrooper wouldn't be the first person to do something like this.

Of course, as OFG said, we have a tendency to twist facts to suit our theories, not the other way around...

I was thinking the exact same thing, Dawg!

After all the angst I've put myself through over the "source" in the past weeks, it'd be a real kick if he played us for once, instead of everybody playing the "source." Of course, I did vote for Ken, and as OFG said, it's human nature to try to bend the evidence to support our own theory.

I guess at this point, there's nothing we can do but wait. It's not over until its over, right?

Edited to add: It is red, in the same position as each weekly pick, so this seems to be his choice, but I'm no expert. Can someone verify if this is/isn't the Snewser pick?

Now he has a picture of a platform in a cave. We have not seen this on the show. Does Ken make the merged tribe construct a new "hut" for the Huts.

Could history repeat itself? Could they spend all their time building again. The Chewies might not mind, since they never had to build one before, but if they have a cave, who would demand a shelter be built.... Ken?

Thoughts anyone? I need as many as I can get

Survivor maps identifies a third camp for the merged tribe.

I spec'd on my merge thread that these shots of the two tribes walking in line MAY be on the way to a new camp.

They are wearing different clothes than the IC (unless the color has been faked, Brian has on an aqua shirt, but it's gray at IC).

I will believe the merge camp is at CG when I see it. I think that Shii Ann is visiting in the vidcaps.

Meanwhile, I'm doing the happy dance that PT and Snewser are going for Shii Ann and that for once I got my pick up early enough to beat them to their announcement. Most weeks I don't make up my mind so far in advance of the show.

I guess that means I think they aren't playing with us...
But then I WOULD think that, because I WANT to!

Thanks OFG, It was a good read.

Also, I too am glad I voted early this week. I think my NY sense and Smoking sense just tingled too much to avoid a shii boot. (if not for the smoking sense I posses, Ken would have been my choice).

But once I got over the Shii not making up in the LL idea, due to the fact that shii would most likely just end up annoying Jeb, Steph and Rob even more there, so mean comments do not mean they did not meet up in the LL only that they avoided eachother like the plauge.
