"Home Depot's Return Policy" |
Just a question.After watching episode 3 again I couldn’t help wonder what has happen to the tools that the tribes received to build their shelters. In order to keep conditions so tough, I would assume that EPMB would have the tools returned and leave each tribe with as little as possible. I watched to see if Jeffy or the contractor or someone else picked up the tools…there was no clear evidence of that happening. Later in the episode there is a shot of Ethan sitting on the Home Depot box that the tools came in. In order to be fair and all that, the reward challenge was to only 24 hours. So maybe the tools were picked up then. Or maybe they were not picked up at all. I plan on watching the episode again and the following episodes to see of any tools are lying around. It looks like after the next storm all the shelters may need some repair work. It will be interesting to see if they have any tools for the work. What are your ideas? Has the been discussed else ware. I did a quick search and didn’t see anything. Could this play factor down the road? We will have to wait and see.

Not that this matters much in terms of spoiling as it does game playing, but if they knew that the tools were going to be taken away after a day, you'd have thought that they would continue building things up until the very end. For example, if Mogo2 had decided to actually put in the coconut phone, then that would give them that much extra string should they need it later. Or if Sabotage had decided to build a guys hut and a girls hut, then at least they would have had the materials to rebuild later.

That's a good point - put as much extra material into your shelter as you possibly can in the hope that you could reuse some of them later on. Nails and string could make a better spear, for example.

My take on it was that EPM found a way to give them a bunch of survival stuff as part of an RC to counteract the fact that they were all sucking at surviving with the bare minimums they were given.First he hypes that they get less than ever before, then he gives them as many tools as Swiss Family Robinson got off their boat ... I doubt CBS is going to be returning any tools to Home Depot (which they could only do if the tools were unused and in the original packaging), but they sure are banking the ad money from Home Depot, the first ad after the RC I think. Talk about product placement. I know, that's more of a Bashers topic. All those not on TV have only themselves to blame ~ Jackson Browne

Next thing you know he'll wreck an entire ship on the rocks and have them Robinson Crusoe as much supplies as they can before it gets broken up in the surf. It's just a matter of finding a sponsor.I kinda hope he did leave them those supplies, Saboga may need to build a new shelter after this week.

LAST EDITED ON 02-18-04 AT 00:44 AM (EST)My theory, they kept them. It should be obvious one way or the other after Thursday. With Sabotage (love the name!) having a Wipe Out, and the others suffering in the same storm, repairs will definately be needed. Since they are advertising the wipe out, they will have to show the aftermath, and we should then see the HOME DEPOT tools (or not). Edited to add: By the way, I do think this has to do with spoiling. I recently recieved an education from a long time spoiler that spoiling every little tidbit in the show is the goal. And this fits in that category. Plus, if they don't have tools, and Sabotage has a wipe out and cannot rebuild in a timely fashion, that could play into the game. And later, when we see something in a vid cap for future episodes, and see a tool, we would know for sure where it came from once we answered your question. Therefore we would not speculate on where that tool came from, if it was from a new reward, etc.

This would be completley rediculous if they let them to keep the tools! I thought these guys were the best of the best? And this was the toughest Survivor ever? First, they gave them flint (might have as well gave them matches and a tank of gas). Then they give them rice (given they have not open it yet). And now enough tools to build a freaking palace and a cruiship.... Just not fare - I say - Let them suffer!!!
