Everyone got picks in this week except for Taz. We haven't heard from him since week 1 and I can't send him a PM because he has them blocked. I'm putting his torch out.

 

[aengus]

so I won right?

 

[threeboysmom]

Randy has become my hero. His quick thinking and wit last night at the immunity challenge was priceless.

I missed it the first time around, but during the very last round in the big ball throw, Randy yelled out "FREEZE, ACE, FREEZE" to fake him out. And Ace listened and froze in place (!!) allowing the Kota ball to roll right past him and score the winning points! LOL!

Way to go, Randy!!

 

[threeboysmom]

so I won right?

You certainly did well, I'll admit that much

Without doing any of the counts yet, I think Dan definitely is going to be top scorer, along with Randy.

Sugar too might also be up there even with being on the losing tribe and going to exile. Her name was said a lot... and she cried twice from what I can see.

Dan, Randy, Sugar.... not sure about who else will make up the "dream team" this week. Marcus did squat. Hoping Ace is up there

ETA: Oh forgot Bob... anyone with Bob and fish scored well here on DIS too

Yep, I was impressed with Randy's quick thinking last night, too. I didn't like him the first 2 episodes, but he's really growing on me.

 

[CAJUNWDWFAN]

I had Bob with fish

 

[aengus]

Randy was actually impressive last week also, scoring the points. Funny even when he does well he flies under the radar, that is good at this stage, but might hurt later.

 

[Matty D]

Are we sure that counts as Bob catching a fish?

 

[threeboysmom]

Are we sure that counts as Bob catching a fish?

Pete and I haven't really discussed it in full, but I saw Bob pulling the net out of the water with a fish in it. I would consider that "fishing" and it was shown right there on TV...Bob.... net.... fish....

Also, directly afterwards in a confessional, Marcus talks about how Bob went down to check the net and trap and caught some fish...

ETA: Perhaps you're questioning whether the use of a net is considered fishing? Anytime anyone gets a fish out of the water into their hands regardless of the means, I would consider that fishing.

 

[threeboysmom]

Can someone please explain to me why the "misfit alliance" did not flush out the idol last night?

Why couldn't they have gotten Sugar to play it AND had GC voted out at the same time?

Seems to me the longer she holds that thing, the more powerful it becomes...

 

[Matty D]

...Bob.... net.... fish....

Then couldn't the same case be made for...Marcus.... net.... fish...?

 

[threeboysmom]

Then couldn't the same case be made for...Marcus.... net.... fish...?

Ah... Matty

Once again, I have not fully talked this over with Pete. I'm sure he'll chime in at some point.

I did review the episode again this morning paying VERY close attention to that opening fishing scene. All I saw was Bob at the water's edge... HIS hands pulling in the net... HIS hands taking the fish out. I paused the video many times trying to spot Marcus anywhere near that net coming out of the water. He was not in that scene. All we see of Marcus is him helping Bob carry the net back to camp. Helping to carry a net of fish does not equal fishing in my opinion.

Directly after this scene is a cut to a confessional by Marcus. He talks about BOB getting up and checking the net and trap that morning. He does not say that "we" (meaning he and Bob) caught fish... only mentions Bob.

That's what I'm basing my decision on. Pete could very well come on and completely override me, and that would be fine...I had Marcus down for fish.

 

[Matty D]

I'm playing under protest...again.

 

[KrazyPete]

Just to re-iterate, if the situation is questionable then there are no points. It prevents us from having to make judgement calls. If we're not certain something happened then we don't award points for it.

Both times this has been an issue this season, I've been on the losing end of it. I had Marcus down for catching fish last night too. I haven't rewatched it for myself yet but I believe Pink when she says there weren't any signs of Marcus there when the fish were pulled out of the water. We wrote the description on that category this way:

"Catches a fish
We need to see the survivor in the act of successfully catching the fish. Fish stories back at camp don't count."

A specific situation that Pink I discussed was Amanda's shark from last season. She carried it back into camp and everyone marveled at how she was able to catch that thing with her bare hands. They didn't show her catching the shark. We tried to keep things as simple as possible and if we get into infering that so and so caught a fish based on evidence after the fact it could get complicated. Amandas shark wouldn't count and Neither does Marcus carrying the fish to camp after they were caught. I will rewatch it though, I'm hoping Pink missed something.

Not another word out of you, Matty!

I'm glad to see your coming around to see my girl Sugar is running the show

They are idiots is the real answer however

Sugar scared Crystal pretty good huh? Pointing out if she does have it and plays it she can take out whoever tried to get it from her haha. I think she fired a shot across Crystals bow no doubt.

What a competitor too! Did you see how she was trying to use telepathic powers even to tell Ace how to move! BRILLIANT!
