Chrissy gal 1413 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beef Jerky Spokesperson" 10-10-03, 02:22 AM (EST) "Is Osten "Faking It"??" Do you think that Osten is acting useless as a part of his strategy, or do you think that Osten is just out of his element and struggling? I look back at past Survivors and I think that nobody has used the strategy "I'm a big strong guy, but I just can't win anything!" Each week I think that Osten is performing just well enough for his current team to keep him, but not well enough to seem like a big individual threat after the merge. So right now I think he is "acting". I hope I am right, because I would hate to think that he is as pathetic as Andrew and RyanO.

PhoenixMons 4696 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Stuff Magazine Centerfold" 10-10-03, 02:44 AM (EST) 1. "RE: Is Osten "Faking It"??" I've been of the "Osten's faking it" camp for a while now. I am STILL trying to find my beloved tape with the first two episodes to go back and listen to his confessionals for more clues, but the ones I remember certainly didn't strike me as someone who was truly quitting and weak - he seemed to pick all the right the right words during the confessionals to lead me to believe that he's not really weak, never really wanted to quit, etc. I know there aren't many of us here who feel that way, but he does talk very differently when he's talking TO his tribemates as opposed to when he's talking on confessionals and in the TC voting "confessional". In particular, his comments after his Ryan S. vote struck me as very odd for someone who wanted everyone to vote him out. He got two votes at TC and I think that was something he didn't expect...so he kept his trap shut and did held out for a LONG time in that IC but still floundered on the RC. I don't know, nothing seems to add up with him and this is the only thing that makes sense to me. I hope I'm right, too.

sittem 4186 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 10-10-03, 08:09 AM (EST) 2. "RE: Is Osten "Faking It"??" Agreeing with you PM. After week 2 I was pretty down on Osten. However, near the end of that show I was beginning to ascribe to the faking it theory. What's strange to me about the swimming failures is that he's been the first one in the water both times - why try to "lead out" and then fail misserably - so it looks like strategy to me. BTW - is it just me, or does Osten remind you of Deion Sanders? 2002 IceCat Originals, Inc. All rights reserved.   Top

nailbone 27263 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-10-03, 11:11 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Is Osten "Faking It"??" LAST EDITED ON 10-10-03 AT 12:43 PM (EST) as pathetic >as Andrew and RyanO. > This is the only part that I agree with. Why would anyone fake being useless and cause their tribe to suffer like they have? Only the fact that he's got Andrew fooled keeps him in the tribe. If he faked it enough where they ALMOST lost or came CLOSE to winning but lost, I could see it. But he's cost them major losses, like the RC last night. With a tribe with any brains, he'd be gone already. Edited to add: I hadn't thought about it in terms of "the Big Lie" and all we know about that...Hmmmmmm... (c) 2003 IceCat Originals, Inc.

Spanky68 8092 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-10-03, 11:23 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Is Osten "Faking It"??" I don't think he was drowning. I agree with those who think this is the Big Lie. It would fit. I think he would've been a lot more scared if he was really drowning.   Top

sisyphus 321 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 10-10-03, 11:42 AM (EST) 5. "RE: Is Osten "Faking It"??" I will have to agree with everyone here that Osten may be the perpetrator of the "great" lie...I watched last night and immediately the thought came to me.....he was by no stretch of the imagination in any danger of drowning, the guys threading water....he did not even try to get the piece of the puzzle...I was totally disgusted then I said ...whow this is his strategy... Ep1...he appears to be the cool guy bring liquor and immediately forming an alliance with the guys he percieved to be the strength or power of the tribe....he even gets them to strip down with him....hence sabotaging the very first challenge Ep2....Morgan looses both challenges and he immediately goes into a slump..which I now sincerely believe was an act to solidify the thought in peoples mind that even though he was muscular and percieved to be strong he was infact weak and therefore not a treat...so pleads please vote me out...but his alliance does not buy it or rather buys it but thinks it is temporary and so votes out Ryan S....more evidence Osten votes Ryan S the one he pled to and the most gullible...Lillian was the only one that did not buy it and saw through him.... Ep3....Morgan looses again and it plays well into Osten hands since although he puts up a valiant effort fails in the end against rupert who although in a big man is not nessecarily the strongest....but then rupert is into the game and not worried about stategy at this point.....thus he proves again he is not a treat...strong as he may seem.... Ep4...what to say...he obviously threw the reward challege but since the Drake tribe was hell bent on throwing the immunity challenge there was not much he could do..... well that is theory anyway.....   Top

I like your analysis sisyphus, it makes Osten look even more suspicious. Nailbone - I think you are correct that this strategy would require that he be surrounded by people who aren't very observant. I can't wait to see how this plays out. Chrissy gal "Never underestimate the potential psychosis of a reality show contestant." managerr   Top

Nash 437 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 10-10-03, 11:30 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Is Osten "Faking It"??" Absolutely faking it! Osten's the big lie. HE CAN SWIM. He isn't suffering. He's masterful and I see him in the top 4.   Top

bobstew617 723 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 10-19-03, 09:48 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Is Osten "Faking It"??" If he is "faking it", it really is a brilliant survival strategy as he won't be the major target right after the merge--that would be Rupert. If he is a faker, he would start winning the physical ICs around Ep 10.   Top

1unatic 47 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 10-21-03, 09:17 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Is Osten "Faking It"??" He's not faking. He really is a big, stupid, wimpy, weakling who just looks strong.   Top

whoami 2936 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 10-21-03, 09:44 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Is Osten "Faking It"??" He could be faking it but I am not convinced yet. Some weight lifters are just that weight lifters and can not do anything else very good. WHOAMI We have but to choose what to do with the time we have been given.   Top
