For fans of the TV show Survivor

[Phil]

Read the following carefully:
Watch the first episode of Survivor and decide who you think will be the winner
of this season's show. I will be giving to the winner of this contest 500 NP$.
There is a limit to the number of entrants since each NPer can only have 1 pick.
You must be the first to post the name of the Survivor contestant and no one else
can choose the same after. You must post your choice after I've made my pick (in
an attempt to win my own NP$ back :P).
I will post my pick sometime between 18-24 hours after the time of this post.

Ashley Trainer, a spa sales rep from Maple Oak, MN
Ben Browning, a mixologist from Los Angeles, CA
Betsy Bolan, a police officer from Campton, NH

OK. I await your responses. :bah:

 

[johname]

[mis_chiff]

So who won 25 $NP ?

You didn't pick anyone and my guess was wrong
briguy is the only other person who posted one (I'll bet he's wrong) :o

I wonder how long before the back door hits Russell :hehe:

 

[johname]

Phil we hardley knew ya, lol

25 $NP sent

The show is teasing that shamo or russel is next, but i never let the show tell me what to think.

couldnt believe russ looked and found the idol before there was clues

Yasmin shut up your supose to be there to listen, not to be yelling at everyone

Disapionted they put a football (american) style game in Survivor. Of course thoses guy would hit each other hard, shouldnt create a game that hurts people.

Shamo come on you come back telling people there is 100k fishes but you didnt caught any, plus lose the mouth piece? briguy you better hope she has friends or her group keeps wining

 

[Phil]

What an interesting episode that was. I'm only posting now since the show is only
finished on the west coast when it's 1:00 AM here.:zzz: Just a tad late for me.

Well...the field is wide open for someone to win the 500 NP$ from me. At least I
went out winning 25 NP$. Thanks Johname :D.

That competition was rough. There's a reason they wear padding in American style
football. I found Ben to be annoying and disrespectful. He should have been voted
out for the good of the tribe. He's not doing his tribe mates any favors by keeping them
awake at night. They need to be rested enough to compete. Between Ben and Oilman
Russell the tribe just might implode and when the 2 tribes merge have no real strength
left. Then where will these 2 players be? Not a good strategy to put your own tribe
in a position where it will keep losing competitions.

So... any NPers out there want to adopt Ben as the Castaway to win Survivor? lol.

I know she not gonna win me no 25NP$..she winning the big prize!

You didn't pick anyone and my guess was wrong
briguy is the only other person who posted one (I'll bet he's wrong) :o

I wonder how long before the back door hits Russell :hehe:

I hadn't realized that was a guess for Shamo. No it's not her.

 

[mis_chiff]

I think Ben should be hung out to dry somewhere...
he was very annoying. Why didn't they tell him to
stop? I would have!

What was the beef between Ben and Yasmin about - I missed
what started it?

 

[johname]

Yasmin said he tackled her in the football game as hard as a guy. lol

 

[mis_chiff]

Yasmin said he tackled her in the football game as hard as a guy. lol

:lol: wuss

I don't know what happened on the channel I was watching, but after
they tied the game up - it all of a sudden went to them standing on the
mats. They mentioned the guy who left, but I never saw anything about it?
who or how the game was won.....

 

[Phil]

I found this on YouTube. How long it stays up there I don't know, so watch it soon.
YouTube - Survivor Samoa - Episode 2- Part 2/4 [dcdice]

Go to 4:40 minutes on the video to where they are tied up at 1:1. Watch for the cheap shot by
Ben at 5:50 as he makes Survivor history and contributes to his team losing the competition.

 

[mis_chiff]

Thanks Phil, Just watched it - big chunk I missed!

I still don't know what the logic in keeping Ben was

 

[johname]

I still don't know what the logic in keeping Ben was

Its that he is young and fast, they got to win challenges. If your tribe is the minority at the merge then chances of winning are very small.

 

[Phil]

That's the theory, but apparently Oilman Russel believes in weakening the tribe
early in the game so he can be a power of... 1, and that somehow this would get
him further. Ben is to much of an unpredictable wild card and should have been voted
out. Of course that would mean my pick, Betsy, would still be in the game. :D

 

[mis_chiff]

I know, young and good for challenges, but he's
weakening the rest of the tribe by keeping them up all night :p

I would have voted Russell before Betsy, but they'll find out
when it's tooooo late.... haha
