PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Osten lie?" |
Ok, I know this wouldn't qualify as the "Big Lie", but what is up Osten's sleeve? If he wanted to quit as bad as CBS made him out to want, why did he vote for Skinny Ryan? I think the thing was a juke, flushing out any possible allies to the Lil/Ryan S faction. Is there another possiblity that I'm not seeing? (Besides the possiblity that he is just a whinny moron)

3. "RE: Osten lie?" |
Still and all - if he REALLY wanted off, he should have voted for someone else (we thought Andrew would be a good choice!), and hope that one or two more went for him. But I too am suspicious of the whole thing; perhaps he was just lying to Ryan, plus whining a bit, seeking a little ego rubbing. (We love you, you are SO important to us, blah, blah, blah . . . )This incident is another example to me of hype over what we get to see in the show (like that "photo finish" IC.) I begin to wonder if they even plant some of these dramas. Look at the CBS website video "Osten Wants Off" (or something like that). Tijuana is giggling, laughing the whole time. It looks like a scam of some kind.

4. "RE: Osten lie?" |
From gibby at survivorsucks:"Began tonight. It's Osten faking like he wants to go home. Can't you people see it. It's as plain as the pecs on his chest. He wants everyone to overlook him. He knows they have to keep him if they want to win." From orangeena at survivorsucks: "No, but this IS the Big Lie
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No, but this is the Big Lie. And it IS brilliant. I totally fell for it, until you just pointed it out. Osten is making them keep him. Of course, Matt was playing crazy, and they all didn't consider it AN ACT, so that they'd dismiss him, and now Osten is doing it. There is no other possible lie that occured tonight, because NOTHING occured. Boring, predictable boot episode. After the thrilling opener of last week, I'm very disappointed. This could be called "Survivor as usual." But that is the Big Lie. It's Osten's. "

5. "RE: Osten lie?" |
He also now has 2 votes that he may not have received. Maybe a regret as well?

7. "More fuel for this theory?" |
LAST EDITED ON 09-26-03 AT 01:11 PM (EST)Osten's vote speech, from Markopolo's Insider transcript. Osten (votes Skinny Ryan): FUMBLES THE PARCHMENT PAPER... Fella, I enjoyed your company. Unfortunately, you had to go. Hope to see you on the other side. It does sound like he fully intended to vote for Ryan S. and get him out all along, and had no plans of going anywhere himself. As katethegreat pointed out, if he really wanted to leave, why didn't he vote for say Darrah to try to create a tie, like Shawna did? I don't know, though. It seems like too risky a scam, and I'm not sure what the point would be. He wasn't in danger of being voted out before he started whining. And it doesn't seem like something he could perpetuate after tonight.

8. "To add even more" |
PURE SPEC Osten may be setting things up for the next few days and fakes becoming extremely ill. So like Lindsey and Lex, Osten will get to be taken to the onsite Docs, given food or hydration and a warm cot with blanket to sleep on. Sometime later in a confessional he slips up about being ill or someone wants to actually boot him for being ill. Hence Jeffy stating "horrible, brilliant, mother ______!" The plan could backfire on Osten and he eventually gets booted b/c people really think he is too sick to carry on. Hence the regret. As somone else during the show pointed out last night, he is able to play cocofootball with Ryan O. but cannot do anything else!

12. "RE: More fuel for this theory?" |
I think Osten probably figured that the tribe, when comparing strengths, would want to keep him. And that is pretty much what happened. Also, we know that he was well aware of how much the others wanted Ryan S to go. Besides, did we ever hear him tell anyone but Lill and Ryan S that he wanted to go? I can't recall that he mentioned it to anybody else. Very risky I agree. I'm still kinda of leaning toward my treasure chest theory -- that someone finds it, uses it, possibly not getting caught until later in the game. That way, Jeff could say that most of the contestants wouldn't realize it until they saw the show. If it had food in it, hiding it would be a horrible, brutal lie. He would regret if he got caught near the finals and the tribe boots him out.

14. "Osten possibly not who he claims to be..." |
ok. i am currently at UNH working toward my C.A.G.S. i have heard osten mentioned a few times around campus this fall. so far what i have heard does not support how osten represents himself.
-i overheard a conversation of 3 girls. 1 claimed to have spent the week of july 4th with osten and "his boys" at pawtuckaway. she said that played a lot in the water(does this mean swimming?), did some fishing, one of the guys kayaked and they hiked. i'm not a nh native so i had to do some research to find out what pawtuckaway is. it's a state park. they would have had to camp out to stay there... when did survivor start shooting? is this time frame even possible? i am assuming that they meant survivor osten.
-i tried to get his year of graduation and i wasn't able to. word around the whittemore school of business is that he hasn't yet finished his degree, but that he has fulfilled his concluding project with an internship in boston.
-i am not able to look him up in the student directory.
-i have overheard several students mention that he likes to stretch the truth, that he's a player and other comments that make him seem like a kinda shady guy. (this was last week and they referenced survivor in their conversation.)
unfortunately, i have no way to verify any of this. i wish i did because i have been posting on here for quite awhile and i don't want to lose credibility. i was debating whether or not to post this and i figured that it would probably be best for me to throw it out to the board to see if any of you can verify anything or to even decide if it is worth the trouble.
 (wishes she wasn't so shy and actually had the kahunas to walk up to these people and join their conversations...)

18. "RE: Osten = UNH c/o 1996" |
ok. that contidcts what i was told at the school of business. they said he hadn't graduated!
also, i was able to locate a fella named jason eno that said he hung out with him this summer. jason is in education, like me, but he also has a business background.
i can't figure out why things aren't adding up. and more importantly, i can't fiigure out the significance of them not adding up.
i have class on tuesday. i may try to gte to camous a little early and see if the regitrar can offer any insight on the class of 1996. if they have him listed as a graduate, then i'm going back to the school of business to see what i can find.
i'm starting to get very frustrated with this!

Fighting for evil (and neat forums) since 2002
. I definitely think the "lie" relates to someone pretending to be someone/thing they are not in some sense...I went so far as to speculate that Jon (back when we thought it was certain that Jon was the liar) was really using another Jon Dalton's current background or something like that....identity theft, LOL. So if Osten's info continues to be suspicious...whi knows?
