"Early Boot Profile" |
Mark Burnett has a formula for selecting the cast members for Survivor, from which he has not deviated in 5 seasons. It includes:16 Contestants representing a cross section of America. 8 men and 8 women Average age of the 16 contestants is 35 years old. 16 distinct personality types represented In an effort to determine who the first bootie will be in S6, let’s look at the past “early bootees” to arrive at an “early boot profile”. The following list is the first three from each of the previous seasons: S1 Sonya, 63, Teacher/Musician, Tagi BB, 64, Contractor/Developer, Pagong Stacey, 27, Attorney, Tagi S2 Debb, 45, Corrections Officer, Kucha Kel, 32, Army Officer, Ogakor Mad Dog, 52, Ret. Police Officer, Ogakor S3 Diane, 42, US Postal Carrier, Boran Jesse, 27, Deputy Sheriff, Boran Carl, 46, Dentist, Rotu S4 Peter, 45, Business Owner, Maraamu Patricia, 49, Truck Assembler, Maraamu Hunter, 33, Pilot, Maraamu S5 John, 40, Pastor, Chuay Gahn Tanya, 27, Social Worker, Chuay Gahn Jed, 25, Dental Student, Sook Jai Observations: In every previous Survivor Series the first person voted out has been over 40 years old. Looking at the first three episodes of each of the first 5 Survivor Series, an equal number of men and women have been voted out. The average age of the first person voted off is 47 years old. The average age of the first three people voted off is 41 years old. Early bootees are often “authority figures” with occupations such as, Police officer, Army Officer, Pastor, Dentist, Attorney, Corrections Officer, Etc. They often have overbearing personalities, and are frequently described as “bossy” or “pushy”. They are unable to stay under the radar. They may be viewed as a physical liability, due to illness or physical strength. They are sometimes viewed as loners who are unable or unwilling to “fit in”. Early Boot Profile:
The average early boot candidate is just as likely to be male or female. They are more likely to be older than the tribe average of 35, than younger. The early boot is likely to be between 40 and 50 years of age. They will usually not “fit in”, either because they are too pushy and controlling or viewed as “lazy loners”. The overbearing types often hold positions of authority in their real life profession. They are often also considered a physical liability because of illness or poor fitness. While most of this is obvious, I thought it might help to do an objective analysis before we are influenced by our impressions of the real S6 contestants…

1. "RE: Early Boot Profile" |
Thanks Krautboy...Its always good to go back to the basics prior to each season as sort of a touchstone for spoiling. It reminds us of the early game moves most contestants try to make. Now we just have to see what this "amazing, wonderful, exciting" whole new beginning is. But as you point out, changing the team formation/beginning still does not "greatly" alter the voting strategy of the contestants. I look forward to your ideas on S6, as during S5 you had many insights. Later all

2. "RE: Early Boot Profile" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-06-03 AT 10:03 AM (EST)At the risk of saying "DUH!" I'll just add these points: 1) Two of the youngest, Jesse and Tanya, were booted mostly because they were sick. Likewise, Diane was also booted for her weak physical condition. 2) Whatever happened about the Stacey lawsuit? Haven't heard anything recently, but if her claim is true that the vote was fixed, then we should consider that Rudy was the choice but MB saved him... and this verifies Krautboy's point: Older guy, authority figure, etc. 3) While Kel does match the "authority figure" portion, he and Jed must be looked at in the mode that they clashed badly with other tribe members, and Jed in particular (IMHO) got the shaft. Now Kel was accused of cheating by bringing in beef jerky... and Jerri didn't just make up "beef jerky" in her head... (in other words, I am saying that yes, Kel DID cheat), so his waxing was evident. Let's recall some other scenarios, however: 1) Kathy (meets these criteria) was certainly targeted by Rotu early... but Rotu never made it to TC to boot her. Likewise, Paschal might have been an earlier target, due to age and physical condition... but again Rotu never made it to TC in the early going. 2) Keith in S2 was targeted early... but was saved by Tina and Colby who realized that keeping him and booting Mitchell was their only hope to win. 3) Kimmy didn't make overall top-3, but she was Kucha's second waxing... over Rodger or sick Nick. The "didn't get along" played more than the older or sick guys here. 4) Police officer Ken stayed around awhile, as did ex-Seal Rudy, Navy SpecOps instructor Helen and schoolteacher Jan. So to me, the important thing is social skills/interpersonal relations, coupled with getting into the right alliance early and maintaining good physical health (never show illness or weakness!). This is going off-topic to this thresd, but to me, the MOST important thing is tribal IC victories. Just imagine how different S-4 and S-5 might have been. Hence, we can only glean so much from the contestants' occupations. But it's as good a place as any to start. ...and Krautboy... just remember that SeeBS misdirection is called "misdirection" for a REASON... NEVER take the website at face value... Contradictions don't exist. If you are faced with a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong. -- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

4. "SurvivorSibling Spoiler" |
Dawg:The "SurvivorSibling Spoiler" states that the first bootee will a young strong male, apparently in conflict with many aspects of the profile, but reinforcing your point that the interpersonal/ social skills are the single most important aspect of the "early boot profile". Here's an excerpt: ---------------------------------------------------------------- "My sibling gave me some information on the "bootees", but would not give me names or tell me if they were on his/her tribe or the other. The first person voted off is a young, strong man(late twenties/thirties). This man was very bossy around camp and tried to be a leader. This annoyed members on both teams and because there are more people in the "camp" to do the work, it wasn't as important to keep a young "alpha male" type around for the heavy work." ---------------------------------------------------------------- If this spoiler ends up being valid, our first bootee will be voted out because he was "very bossy around camp" and "annoyed members on both teams", not because of perceived weakness associated with age or illness... Just as you suggest, "not getting along" in the early going is the kiss of death... Krautboy

13. "Strong Young Male?" |
According to The ChillOne's Spoiler, Daniel will be the first boot.I've been looking for evidence to explain how he might be the first to go and early indications are that he is not the "overbbearing pushy leader" type, but rather the "misfit, loner, outcast" type. The limited vidcaps we have so far show him in the background or off to the side, not looking very happy. If they lose the first challenge, somehow because of him, and he doesn't fit in, it's feasible that a tribe of all men would vote off a strong, young guy, that the other alpha males figure they don't need anyway. So, the discussion we've had about the Early Boot Profile as it related to the SurvivorSibling Spoiler still applies to the ChillOne Spoiler. Is it possible that they are both legitiamate, but Survivor Sibling was asked to retract it and lie about it being a hoax? Probably not, but I haven't had time to compare the two. Might make for an interesting comparison...Hmmm Krautboy

14. "RE: Strong Young Male?" |
I posted something similar on another thread here. Kraut, the alienating or obnoxious contentions for a young strong male being booted are the usual reasons and most plausible.The funny thing is I never reviewed the first boot scenario in the context of a same sex tribe. With that dynamic, I see yet another plausible reason for the buffest male going first. Small sample: Ken and Brian. Now, some may argue with me but their animosity, IMO, was nothing but testerone and ego. Two alpha males who wanted to be top dog. This wasn't the case with Robb and Ken because Robb was young, viewing Ken as a big brother and egos didn't have as much place there while Brian was king of his domain with young buff policeman Ken coming into his digs??? View an all male tribe. There is going to be a battle of the egos with someone, that I can almost guarantee. Daniel is clearly a physically imposing person. I would bet the farm that at least TWO men on that tribe are going to feel their testerone is threatened. Couple that with ANY potential feelings from Daniel that he is alienating or bossy, he is toast. Why not overlook this to keep the strong to win? Easy answer. They are competing against women. Like it or not and correct or not, men essentially are not going to worry about competing against women physically, they just aren't. So what do they care if they get rid of their strongest, they are still MEN competing against WOMEN! You know they are going to think that. Women posters don't get uppity, I am a woman but I'd be worried seeing an all male tribe. Men posters, don't deny it, you would be thrilled seeing an all women tribe and would think you are going to kick their butts. Will this occur? I'm sure there will be surprises for both but I think the thought process will be that. And I think that may be a new rationale as to why the young, strong male may go first also.

15. "RE: Strong Young Male?" |
I agree this is why Daniel may be the first one out. Remember how Colby did not like Kel and was only too happy to believe Jerri's "jerky story" so he could get rid of him. And we can't forget Rob & Sean ganging up to kick out Hunter. Both Hunter and Kel were very strong. But the other strong males didn't want them around.
