"CBS Website Misdirection"
It's been a while since I"ve posted,,Please move or lock if already discussed,,,,

anyhow,, with all the talk of misdirection by C-BS this year I found a post on Sucks that says Amber's picture is missing
http://pub207.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm2.showMessage?topicID=17220.topic

Classic misdirection I thought, So I looked at the page and lo and behold I found even more misdirection in the source code
View source here
http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor8/survivors/index.shtml

I found a commented out section below the Tina section ,,, the spot reserved for the next boot

snippet of the code
I've put the "accidental" commented part, that we are suppose to find is in RED
and Who they want us to believe the next boot is in BLUE

2. "RE: CBS Website Misdirection"
Well excuse me,,, I've read the board,, I didn't see it, and this is big board man , so I posted with a disclaimer,, and still,, geez,,

( deep sigh )

OK ,, AGAIN IN ENGLISH ( for the challenged out there)

The cbs website has some misdirection on it.
Contestant Pictures are missing - classic MB misdirection. - see sucks board for this info.
Further more, in the HTML code of the player page on CBS we see more misdirection. (I hope I don't have to explain what HTML is)

The CBS webmasters have put in a commented out section of text on the players page

- A commented out section is one that will not show up on the page when viewed. The code starts <!-- and ends with // -->

This particular commented section is the next row in the table that displays the BOOTED players.

This Commented Out section has a link to LEX"S picture in it.

This "accidental" web mistake appears to be no mistake but a bit of misdirection on CBS's part.

someone (MB) wanted the spoiler folks to find this and think that LEX is next, but I believe this is misdirection,,,

Is that clear enough?

(btw,, I posted a snipet of the code in case it got changed - sorry to bother ya)

Thank you for the explanation, sgoogs.

I have no idea how to read HTML or even really it's basis in language. Nor do I need to have you explain.

But just for us lay, it is appreciated that you tried to "dumb" it down for us.

Interesting that Lex is next, at least according to MB.

You are right in your assumption that this is probably mis-direction.
I urge you to keep looking for these little mix up's.
We may catch MB yet.



But you can call me tribe. S7ABCABP Winner

ditto tribe. it didn't make sense to me at first either - i thought (s)he was talking about the Misdirection thread that gets posted every week. but this is interesting, even if it is only misdirection...i think there may have been a series in the past where there was a "spoiler" (i think it also was misdirection) in the source code...maybe we're getting All-Star misdirection as well as players this season

another thanks for dumbing it down for us

Right you are.

The Source Code Spoiler, er, red herring, happened during S2. The code seemed to indicate that Amber and Elizabeth were the F2. Fit in very neatly with the "Liz kicks butt" quote from JP that everyone latched on to.

I followed both versions Sgoogs, thanks for posting this! I agree 100% that this is no accident and part of MB's misdirection he is trying to throw at the spoiling community. This is something that he wouldn't have to worry about his general public stumbling upon since to view the source code you have to want to do just that.

So good catch and keep us updated if you would please!

I'm with KO...I followed you sgoogs. One thing that we know is that the CBS Websiters have been consistent since day 1...they mess up all the time. I don't know how much MB has a hand on it because I don't that he knows HTML. However, he could very well be behind telling them to put little things like this out there!

Please keep us updated!

It's OK, I speak HTML.

Someone needs to get in their Wayback Machine and see if the that comment section was there before Tina was booted. I suspect that it was.
<font class="navyBold12_700">SOMEBODY SOMEONE</font> 1st Survivor Voted Out<br>

That they put Lex's name in the image tag instead of just asdfing it is odd, but I don't think the web designers know enough to spoil. What we get from them is unintentional or misdirection from above.

ETA: I checked the Wayback Machine, the page is not there.

8. "RE: CBS Website Misdirection"
Wasn't there a huge CBS website problem at the beginning of last season where they would take away the activities list on the player that was about to be booted? But they did it like 2 days in advance? I'm wondering if that is the reason for the misdirection? Granted, they were handing us the boots last season b/c of it. Maybe it's planted as misdirection BECAUSE of the goof ups of last season. You think?

1. MB knows we look
2. He was probably PO'd b/c they webmasters screwed up last season
3. Why not plant something this season just so we 'think' we've found something?


just a thought.


sneezy.

Mr411 claimed (on Sucks) that this had been going on for several weeks right before Ep 6, when Trish was booted. I don't think anyone else had noticed it though. And I don't believe it continued after that.

As Webby and others pointed out at the time, there was no technical reason why they would have had to take down the page two days early, so if this *was* occurring, it was probably due to a lax maintenance procedure. The site was rife with other errors for the entire run of S7.

Hi BR

I followed up on MR411 info about the activities disappearing in the middle of PI. I didnt see Trish's stuff missing but I did check on Shawn and Andrews Boots and MR411 was spot on these came up with no details just before their boots. Osten's boot/quit between them did not do this.

This stopped happening after Andrews boot.

Cheers

Thanks for letting us know, crayZ. It may have been a matter of timing when checking the site, because I think I checked everyone the following week during Mr411's supposed timeframe and no one's page was missing.

...first MB brings up former players, then he brings us all the former challenges, now he's even bringing out all the former misdirection attempts.

Its all a waste of time....some one wake me when Gervace X or the fake final four picture shows up.

And will someone please please please put together a colored flow chart to track all the discrepencies on the CBS site.

Hey skoogs, your post made perfect sense to me, especially with the color coded text. I don't understand why you got a little bashing with bold text. Hey Naked, you must know a little HTML coding to do that. Busted!

Not sure if anyone else has looked but today in the Fantasy Game Sue's picture is the only one not working - just a big red X shows up - I would really like to see her go - but just think its bad website administration.
