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.

wish I had a big brother

From what I understand Tony can use his special idol on just the next vote. (proof would be why not save what's her name with a T) I know he cant use it to get into the final three

So

Kass Woo Spencer

One of those will go next

Which leave tony plus 2

Which leave Tony two good scenarios

1) win imunity into the finals
2) Have some one take him into the finals
3) Just vetoed off because everyone dislikes him more than DU on NP

Woo on the other hand has the opposite problem. No one wants to go against him in the finals

He probably has to win into the finals or go to jury

 

[mis_chiff]

I don't think he can use it - but he wants them to think he can

I recall a conversation with WOO about the life of them. He said at 5 he has to stop
but he told WOO that is was till 4 remaining for the special one - bah...not sure

-Keep looking, its not in this thread or the 'shoot da s" thread

wish I had a big brother

lol thanks mis_chiff! Guess I can't post the URL to individual postings, have to use the "quote" option

 

[mis_chiff]

[hides] johname will be looking for me now :lol:

 

[johname]

Tony not the type of guy to let a special power time out

 

[mis_chiff]

Instead, he lets Trish get voted out and keeps the special idol (now useless) in a bid to intimidate the other players. Maybe it’ll work; who knows? But now Tony is down in numbers, all because he’s too selfish to save Trish.

looks can be deceiving

 

[johname]

Who missed the no help post. lol I tried to send prize but said that feature not hooked up yet

 

[mis_chiff]

ummm I dunno

 

[johname]

lol stupid Tony could have saved a loyal friend and got woo voted off in one show

 

[mis_chiff]

if he was on the ball - he could have let trish have the regular one
-they all vote for someone different
trish is safe with idol - tony would have been safe with other idol
should have been woo or big mouth

 

[johname]

Now my picks suck, guess ill have to bid on who ever doesn't get picked with the jade POP (which times out when the next survivor show starts)

 

[johname]

Kass has no idea how much she lost letting the jury see her flip off trish

 

[briguy]

Who missed the no help post. lol I tried to send prize but said that feature not hooked up yet

lol with all the alerts I get , that thread would have been on page two by now!

 

[johname]

Oh can anyone tell me the moment from yesterday's show that had me

 

[DU]

Kass has no idea how much she lost letting the jury see her flip off trish

I thought the same thing.

Tony will win if in the final 3 because he played the game but I really think Woo will vote with Spence and Kass and kick him off. Had he given the idol to Trish he would have won - no way she would have voted him off and we could have got rid of Kass, she's annoying. The smart play would have been to remove Spence and kept Trish (I'm not sure why Tony VOTED for her??)

Spencer will win if Tony is gone because he worked so hard to stay in against the grain.

If they are both left in it?? It will really come down to whether the jury buys into the "play the game" or "integrity" and Tony will have it.

So I will bet 100NP with anyone that Spencer wins.

Woo and Kass just kind of hung around and didn't do much.

Problem with Survivor is that there's no additional player value element involved. For example - say a player won "pizza every other day" at the beginning - it provides a reason to keep them. There needs to be some way to separate them because right now it's just a random vote with immunity and idols (the auction showed this when both bid everything for a clue). What if a player on a team was given status that included - "will receive a team bonus clue if he makes it to day 5" etc... changes everything. Replaces the old days where I heard it mattered if you could fish/build shelter etc and there was more of a societal value element.

Oh can anyone tell me the moment from yesterday's show that had me

Tony the LLama ?


I only watch this crappy show for Namepros!This will really come down to whether the jury buys into the "play the game" or "integrity".

 

[DU]

The "member" menu is really convenient... I almost don't need Johname anymore.

 

[briguy]

So I will bet 100NP with anyone that Spencer wins.

I just might take you up on that bet, but not sure what happening with the NP$?

 

[mis_chiff]

I just may hav e to watch this auction...with my Jade Pop in hand mwahahahahha

 

[johname]

Ok miss, Spencer and Kass are on the block.

I bid 1np$ on Spencer

and 1 $np on Kass

 

[mis_chiff]

Ok miss, Spencer and Kass are on the block.

I bid 1np$ on Spencer

and 1 $np on Kass

2 and 2 please :p

 

[johname]

Oh, I need to tell my

moment from this week's show.


It was when Woo was describing that the survivor castaways were like a big dysfunctional family, and proceeded to give each person a mom, dad, brother, and sister likeness. Then said he was the foreign exchange student .lol

 

[mis_chiff]

I remember that I

also

 

[DU]

Admittedly, I laughted at that too.

You could bid 100 on Spencer and then hedge by taking my bet. Just FYI.
