"Possible reasons to resurrect a player" |
There's been a lot of talk of the resurrection of a player this season as one of the twists. Personally, I can't see MB just doing this as a twist without some type of catch to it. I've been wracking my brain, and came up with only two scenarios that this could be likely:1) This was my first thought - A player gets ejected from the game for breaking one of the rules (or two players causing the need to resurrect one). I read somewhere about Jon and Christa I believe killing a pelican for food. Not sure if pelicans would fall under the "can't kill" animals rules which might cause them to bring back one player either by a competition, or more likely, last booted, back into the game. 2) More likely - There has been the yukky 'tie' issue that's popped up and obviously the Pappy purple rock wasn't taken too well by fans. So...what if....in the event of a tie, where a consensus is not agreed upon, BOTH players on the tail end of the tie get booted and the last person booted gets to come back. This could very well happen after Episode 6, if there is a traditional merge and both tribes go evenly into the merge. In an attempt to pick off the strong, Andrew and either Burton/Shawn get a 5-5 tie, both get booted and the 6th person booted (Lillian or Trish) get to come back, giving a Morgan advantage for pagonging. There has also been talk of that same player getting reresurrected, which could happen at the Final 4. Say, Morgan pagongs Drake and get to the Final 5, prior bootee Lillian can then again be a target; smart players at the Final 4, can get rid of 2 players and bring back a wonderful Final 2 opponent of someone who has been voted off twice, by forcing a tie at Final 4, leaving Lillian to finish 2nd, with I'd guess either a Tijuana or Darrah victory in that circumstance. This may seem out there, but thought I'd pop it up for discussion.

1. "RE: Possible reasons to resurrect a player" |
Don't hate me because I'm new here. But here's my opinion:
There have been spoilers saying that Lillian possibly gets injured, broken foot or something right. So could it be possible that unlike when Mike got burned and had to leave making the teams even at 5-5, there's some reason to make it unfair competition if Lillian leaves due to injury so they bring back someone that was booted off to fill the void? I think this might be the most likely senario.

Just a thought --Too many stronger and more interesting players have been
eliminated early, while weaker and dull players remain
(Marquesas prime example). Rebirth of a player can
spark interest. With the "Reunion" saga coming, this would spark even
more interest. Sure Richard would be eliminated at the
first chance -- he's too interesting a character to sink
early -- remember this is "Show Business".

4. "RE: Possible reasons to resurrect a player" |
The ideas you bring up are very interesting as solutions to problems that might develop during the game, however, the reports we have seen in the "Accidental Tourist" article describe changes in the how the pre-twist bootees are treated as very preplanned, rather than spontaneous..."Those early days at Perico were no picnic for booted castaways. Their food intake was limited, soft drinks and alcohol were off limits and they were made to exercise their little hearts out. This is radically different from previous editions when ousted players had a nice loser’s vacation. The bootees may be out, but the game is clearly still on." MB had apparently planned to have one of the premerge bootees return to the game and made every effort to prevent the resureected player from having an unfair physical advantage. The timing of the twist also seems carefully planned... "While all booted players were sent to Perico’s cabins, not all of them hung around for the duration of the game. Reports place some Survivor players at the Gamboa Resort. Apparently they were moved there from isla Perico after the twist transpires. Later, the cabins are occupied with jurors." "An older woman wins and returns to the game. This is the reason for the spare rations and harsh conditions at the Ponderosa. Once this contest is decided, the double losers finally get a vacation - and presumably better rations - at the Gamboa resort." The twist/resurrection takes place around the time of the merge... "Our team has pieced together reports and concluded that the prejury boots compete with one another to win the privilege of returning from the dead and reentering the game... ...Sources tell us this superwoman goes on to win another challenge right after the first one." ...because the resurrected woman apparently competes in an individual challenge right after reentering the game. I guess my point is the logistics of all this is much to complex to be a reaction to something unforeseen that happens in the game. As for the reason to resurrect a player..MB likes to have the game evolve and keep it fresh...to let the players know that he is in control. He likes to play God, and only God can resurrect you from the dead.

LAST EDITED ON 09-12-03 AT 09:39 AM (EST)No one is positive when Lillian broke her foot No one is positive if Lillian broke her foot. As far as I know the only post that mentioned this is here, and it appears to be third-hand information. AyaK's been trying to confirm if it is true. queencityfan says that Lillian is not currently wearing a cast or sporting a limp. ***Edited to add: and Griffe does not think anyone gets injured during the game -- scroll down here: http://pub124.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm2.showMessage?topicID=16307.topic

8. "RE: Possible reasons to resurrect a player" |
Ok, I may be WAY off base here and if I am someone please help. Cowboy, you say that one or maybe two people could get booted for breaking rules and someone has to replace one of them. Well, one thing I found interesting while reading JazzyJax's thread earlier about Wezzie's pictures:http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/cgi-bin/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=4017&forum=DCForumID2&omm=0 is that Wezzie said the locals claim that Shawn and Jon are the last two to leave Isla Contadora by plane. Did they leave together? If so, was this typical to take the ones booted by pairs. The two leaving together made no sense to me. Because you would have only one leaving after tribal council. Can anyone help with an explanation?

11. "RE: Possible reasons to resurrect a player" |
I'm wracking my limited brain here trying to figure out how:a) this seems to be pre planned, and,
b) fits into the show, without going out into left field. The only thing that makes sense to me is that the person gets brought back from the dead through a reward challange. Isn't it Haiti that has the voodoo "zombies"? They are relatively close to there (though I wouldn't want to swim it), and perhaps the first individual reward winner gets to bring back someone from the dead? Tell me if I'm way out of whack here.
A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history - with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila.

Sounds great but they didn't know she'd win when they did this if it was devised before the game started. I think this is more devised for the whole pirate thing although bringing back the dead would be better for a Poltergeist theme

21. "RE: Possible reasons to resurrect a player" |
From the survivornews.net article Sources tell us this superwoman goes on to win another challenge right after the first one. One of the challenges involves an underwater endurance contest where players have to pick up items. The SurvivorNews spy kids took a vote, and have decided that this is clearly not the surprise of all surprises, since underwater rock carrying is old hat.From Trish's profile at CBS Her favorite sport is long-distant running (she's completed 24 marathons, including ten Boston Marathons). Her hero is her mom who she says taught her to like herself, be kind and caring, but also competitive and confident. Trish believes she's ready for SURVIVOR: PEARL ISLANDS because her athletic skills make her a viable and useful tribe member. She describes herself as extremely competitive, an excellent swimmer, a born leader and a gifted problem solver Trish seems like the perfect candidate.
