KObrien_fan 8360 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-04-04, 11:59 AM (EST) "Saboga has an abundance of food" It struck a note with me upon seeing the first episode and the Sabogan's discovery of the banana bunches that they had on their island. It was vaguely familiar, I had read something about one camp being close to fruit and vegetable gardens and that the survivors frequently raided them. So I went back through my archives and found THIS link to Wezzie and Quartzeye report. "Quartzeye and Wezzie were told that the All-Star tribes lived on the islands of Mogo Mogo, Chapera and Saboga. Partway through the game, the tribes merged on Isla Saboga. Local pressure might have been behind the move. The village people of Saboga tend fruit trees and vegetable gardens on the west side of the island close to the survivor camp. During the filming, the islanders were not allowed to visit their gardens, and despite protests, received no compensation from Survivor Productions. The tongue and cheek joke on the island was that the survivors were living off their gardens!" So while they still need fire and water, sounds like they have plenty of food around, and if Rupert is already getting fish with his handmade spear, as speculated HERE, then they should be good to go once they get fire, which also looks like it is coming this episode as well.

"RE: Saboga has an abundance of food" Hmmm...I thought there were pretty solid restrictions on where the Survivors could go during filming. I also didn't know any of the islands were big enough to support villages (S7 Ep1 notwithstanding). Snewser has some pics of Saboga on his site, but I can't tell if it's populated. I'm lame at posting pics. -BbB   Top

KObrien_fan 8360 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-04-04, 01:31 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Saboga has an abundance of food" Saboga is the largest of the 3 islands according to the maps. I don't have time to go grab that link right now, but if someone doesn't post it, I'll do it when I get home this evening. As far as restrictions, they wouldn't let the villagers vist the gardens, so while the cat is away... Surgeon General G.A.W.K.U.R's of OT   Top

"RE: Saboga has an abundance of food" If they eat the bananas, won't that help stave off some of the dehydration? I mean, at least they'll get some water from the fruit.   Top

Loree 8616 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-04-04, 01:50 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Saboga has an abundance of food" Didn't Tina mention in her chat that they had bananas and coconuts? What about coconut milk? They could be drinking that.   Top

Smooth23 1244 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 02-04-04, 02:38 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Saboga has an abundance of food" coconut and its milk is a laxative as noted by someone in a previous season, so that would be likely to dehydrate you faster.   Top

big idiot 193 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 02-04-04, 02:27 PM (EST) 6. "and an abundance of water" And all the tribes would have been big idiots if they did not set up rain traps to catch all that potable water that fell from the sky.   Top

ruppiefan 14 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 02-04-04, 03:28 PM (EST) 9. "RE: and an abundance of water" no reason to think the tribes have tarps. rupert does however get a fish in this episode   Top

KObrien_fan 8360 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-04-04, 03:34 PM (EST) 10. "RE: and an abundance of water" You don't need a tarp to make a rain TRAP though, which I believe was his point. Surgeon General G.A.W.K.U.R's of OT   Top

okaloosajohn 1259 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beef Jerky Spokesperson" 02-04-04, 03:37 PM (EST) 11. "RE: and an abundance of water" Traps. Not tarps. Anything that would catch water (like their pot, for instance). A big, broad leaf or two would be enough to direct rainwater into the pot. They have access to bamboo. They could fashion some bamboo cups with the machete... There are so many ways they _could_ be getting water, but apparently aren't even trying any of them, instead, they have the fire blinders on. Agreed, they need fire or they won't be able to cook anything. But you assess your priorities in a survival situation. Water, then food, then fire, then shelter (if the environment is relatively friendly, as this one is). Too many people worried about comfort first...   Top
