Conspiracy Jim 198 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 08-11-00, 02:34 PM (EST) "Survivor the book cover - could it be a true spoiler?" Taking a look at the cover to the soon to be released Survivor book, there is a sole (assumed winner) person looking out towards the horizon holding the torch. Could it possibly be that this person is the actual winner? Lets analyze the photo for a second... The person could be either female or male but the "skirt" that he/she is wearing looks kinda added. The person appears to not be wearing a shirt (could this be an indication that a male wins?). The hair almost looks as though it is long and in braids (another slight reason to believe that it is a woman). - but this too almost looks added. The arms are very femaleish (sorry Sean or Rudy) though the legs a very deffinitely male-ish (though this does not disclude Susan). The real indicator here is the torch/staff. Each survivor addorned their torch with shells, braids, ect. This one specifically has something about 1.5 feet down from the top. It is possible that from watching the previous or future shows we will see that torch being carried by one of the Tagi 5. The picture does not look as though it could be Kelly but if Rich loses about 15 more pounds then it could be any of the others. Just a thought... The only other thing that I could think of on this is that the person on the cover is the real winner of Survivor... Mark Burnett.   Top

Devin 103 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 08-12-00, 12:54 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Survivor the book cover - could it be a true spoiler?" Ok, a few things here can be analyzed. But, it has to be done from the viewpoint that it is not doctored and this is the winner. Otherwise, the pic is worthless. We can look at the height, it appears as though the torch and person are on equal ground and straight up. If this is true, then the person is about a head shorter than the torch. This would exclude Sean, and I think Rich too. The waist appears to be that of a woman, excluding Rudy. This would leave Kelly and Susan. The figure appears to have a small bust, which could go with either. But I think those are Susan's hips. So, if this pic was not doctored, and is of the winner, I think it's Susan. These are two VERY big if's.   Top

Conspiracy Jim 198 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 08-12-00, 12:07 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Survivor the book cover - could it be a true spoiler?" I agree that it sure could be an actor but why. CBS and MB have so much foorage that a pic os this type would be easily obtainable. In fact, if you go back two weeks ago, right after the fire building contest and Rich's "I won, look at me dance", you see the contestants holding their torch in their left hand (just like on the photo), looking out towards the horizon (again, just like on the cover). It's really easy for them to take a silluette of the winner (or sure anyone else) and make it black for better quality. My only speculation here is that it would be stupid to take a picture of Susan and put it on the cover when lets say Rudy is the real winner. Also if you really look at the picture, you can see that it has been doctored to look as though it could be a woman, though I am pretty sure it is a man. The major indication that I now realize is the hair. It is obviously cut very short (though our three final male survivors have this sort of hair style). I was trying to find the picture of the WOTB, the one in which they are holding their torches. Could someone please add this to this post.   Top

melissa 55 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 08-12-00, 01:24 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Survivor the book cover - could it be a true spoiler?" well , I am a graphic designer and I must say that there is no way that this picture has not been touched in some way at least if nothing else the background. If this were any of the castaways, I'd say it is a man and that it is: the skipper (Rudy) look at the posture and slumpy old man shoulders, as well as no shirt and if it were Rich that wins do you not think he would say "hey, guys I am taking my final walk nekkid" haha   Top

Wallflower 62 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 08-14-00, 10:42 AM (EST) 12. "RE: Look at the posture and no shirt" I agree with you Melissa~! I think its Rudy bare-chested and with those long, loose shorts he wears. I think the book cover was altered to make the person look androgynous. See my comparisons in my post of 8/13. ~Wallflower   Top

jonathane 15 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 08-12-00, 01:47 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Survivor the book cover - could it be a true spoiler?" For what it is worth. Someone on SS.com posted something to the effect of someone who knows someone with the book (what is this, some sort of urban legend???) states that the winner is not the person on the cover, only an actor/actress.   Top

Conspiracy Jim 198 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 08-12-00, 02:40 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Survivor the book cover - could it be a true spoiler?" Jon, Just because someone claims that they know someone who knows someone, etc, doesn't mean that it's necessarily true. Hey, I knew someone who heard that someone found out that Gervase didn't have an X on his picture... He must be the winner? Here is an added pic from the EP10 fire building. You can see that the person (good be Sue or maybe Rudy) is looking out towards the horizon, just like on the book cover. Now the pic below is one where I cropped the persons head from the cover to "overlay" with the person in the above pic. Looks very close. Could this be an indication that Sue has a chance. At first I didn't think that the person on the cover could be Sue but looking at pics with her hair in braids and/or pics with her wearing a bandana makes it feasable.   Top

Can anyone help me out here and tell me for sure who the person is that is looking out towards the horizon, holding the staff, in the above picture(s).   Top

Wallflower 62 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 08-14-00, 10:33 AM (EST) 11. "A Comparison Photo" Hiya Jim~! I had not seen your thread yet when I started up with my comparison of photos last nite, see 8/13 posts. I think the person is Rudy barechested. Here's my humble comparison. The middle photo is one of Rudy in which I inverted the image horizontally. It has been said that the clue to the winner is in the first episode and the far right pic with words, "One Survivor" is in opening seqences. Looks like Rudy to me~! Please read my post of 8/13 to see further arguments. ~Wallflower   Top

Conspiracy Jim 198 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 08-14-00, 12:21 PM (EST) 14. "RE: A Comparison Photo" Wallflower, Nice help with the fire building pics. I am still not sure if that is Rudy. If you look at the comparison pics of the persons head with that of the book cover that I posted above, you will see the face matches. The chin, the shoulder, the cheek especially. Who is this person though? It is deffinitely not Kelly and likely not Rich. I can't make out a beard so that leaves Sean or Sue. This could very well be a spoiler. People keep posting that MB wouldn't put the person on the cover... I say why not? You can't tell for sure who the person is. The shorts that he/she is wearing have obviously been doctored to look as though it could be a skirt (thus male or female). One point that I can say while looking at your pics is that the person that you feature is wearing long shorts, just like what Sean wears every day. I'd still say the indicator is one of the following two things, ear or torch. In my picture above you can make out the persons ear. If this is the same person on the cover then the ear will prove who wins because it is a very odd ear (long with long lobe). The other again is the torch. As I said above, each survivor addorned their torches with beads and such. This one has something about 1.5 feet down from the top. Plus the torch itself at the top is kinda offcentered. If someone could find and post some pics with the survivors walking/carrying their torches then we may just have something.   Top

Devin 103 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 08-14-00, 12:31 PM (EST) 15. "RE: A Comparison Photo" The left and right photos look similar, but don't think they look at all like Rudy's. Just look at they way their arms are, the l and r pics have their arms almost straight, Rudy's arm is very bent. Also, in the l and r pics, the shorts are not long. If you look back towards the top in the large pic of the cover, it's clear that they come well short of the knee. And I'm not sure it looks much like a skirt. The person is standing at a slight angle, so the silhouette of the short legs blend together. And I think it's Sue. It look likes her silver and gray top with her yellow shorts. I'll post that pic in a minute.   Top

Stjarna 32 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 08-14-00, 11:07 AM (EST) 13. "The Image on Cover is NOT the Winner!" IMHO, this cover probably bears no relevance to who is the actual winner, and here's why: 1. It doesn't make sense to put the REAL survivor from the show on the front page. After all, they will hope to market it to some people who haven't watched Survivor (it might seem improbable, but many people have never seen the show!) to buy the book and find out for themselves. Why put the actual person who wins on the cover and ruin an element of surprise for someone who doesn't yet know who the winner is (I know, I know - there won't be many people like that - but still, it makes more sense to me). 2. It doesn't really look like any one of the castaways (maybe a little like Sue, but that's a stretch). Now, of course, it could have been doctored, but why would they bother messing with the picture when they can just hire an actor to pose as a hypothetical survivor?! 3. If it really were THE Survivor, do you REALLY think MB would allow the actual cover to be shown for marketing purposes??? It could be just a dummy cover, so that people involved in distribution/marketing of the book had no knowledge of who the winner is. For these reasons, I believe that it's just an abstract image with a model posing as a survivor, and NOT the actual winner... Stjarna   Top

BadAs 372 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 08-14-00, 12:59 PM (EST) 16. "thank you Stjarna" fianlly a voice of reason. This topic has been discused and discused and trashed by SS.com a month or so ago. I beleive Stjarna summed it up wonderfully!!! Let get on to better issues like C. Jim's mud people discussion. That is a topic worth analizing and has beated the hell out of anything the SS.com board has come up with. BA   Top
