Survivor: Pearl Islands *OFFICIAL THREAD*

[kbeverina]

I missed part of Rupert's speech about a traitor--was he talking about the guy they want to vote out or the guy who suggested they lose on purpose?

 

[jimmytammy]

kbeverina-Thanks for the explanation, that would make sense. I thought we were going to be home before it came on so I didn't set a tape, I was so upset with myself, but I did see the most important part although I missed things that happened in the camps. Thanks again!

 

[cyndilou01]

I also was sad to see lil go, she is a hard worker and I never see dara do anything but sleep, so I guess she would be stronger at the challenge if all she did was rest all the time... never tote fire wood, or anything else...

something is going to happen soon, drake is running away with this, how weird will this be if they do not mix the tribes and just let morgan tribe just vote themselves of one by one..

I just love ole rupert.....

 

[Planogirl]

I really, really messed this one up. I decided that there was no way on earth that Morgan would lose AGAIN so I made all of my picks based on that assumption. I was certainly wrong.

Funny but the spoilers predicted a man with a beard being voted off. They were certainly way off too.

 

[TIGGERSMOM]

I am a long time Survivor freak, drives my family nuts. So I figured I would finally join my 2 addictions - Disney & Survivor.

I was also sad to see Lil go. But could see it coming from a mile away. As soon as they showed her on the sailboat coming onin that uniform - BINGO - TARGET. She was spared for 2 weeks only because Nicole shot off her mouth & Ryan couldn't perform in the challenges.

I can't wait to see next week. If they do throw challenge I would guess the tribe member voted off would be the one who suggested it. Rupert seemed so anngry about it and the others have been looking to him alot.

 

[blizzard]

On realitytvplanet!! OK, I sure didn't help much, but we're in first place now.

Speculation Spoiler ahead - quit reading if you don't want to hear about rumours from other places....













Spoiler
(For those who like Lillian, the rumour is that there is a challenge before the tribes merge and someone who has been removed is allowed to return. I have seen it rumoured to be Lillian that returns)

 

[cardaway]

I was very impressed with how much strength both physical and mental Rupert has. I though for sure Morgan had finally found one they could win.

I think they made the right decision in taking out Lil. I don't see how she can say she was part of the tribe after the things she said in the private camera moments. She was willing to keep skinny Ryan no matter how little he did, or how weak he was, just because he was nice to her.

 

[DISshopkeeper]

I've said it before and I'll say it again....Osten is such a BABY! To see that young, muscle-bound twit lose to the old, fat hippie (and I mean that in an affectionate sense!! ) was totally gratifying!! And quite impressive, I agree, cardaway.

I was sorry to see Lill go, too, but I DO think they made the right choice, if they were thinking about the challenges.

I don't think Rupert will stand for Drake throwing a challenge.

COOL about our league on realityplanet!!!

 

[TiggerPiglet]

I was just checking the scores and I think I should have 60 more points. The questions was who will sit out in the reward challenge and I picked Jon, which is right. They have the answer being no answer. Unless I'm losing my mind , didn't Jon and, I forget the girl's name, sit out the reward challenge? Has anyone else had problems with their scores?

So, do you think that bit about the flame not going out was an omen of some sort?

Did everyone check their scores on reality Planet? DISBoards are in first and somehow they counted the round 3 scores twice.

 

[stormi65]

If someone is to return- maybe Lillian wouldn't that throw things off kilter in their 39 days as to finalists? Unless someone has to leave, gets sick or injured?

I am really enjoying the Drake tribe and Rubert especially. He is a strong player. As for Osten there have been rumors that he goes quite far in this game.

 

[Kirby]

I really didn't want Lillian to go but figured she would be next.

I don't think Osten knew how to leverage himself when it came down to the end. Watching Rupert, he just seemed to know more about how to hold onto the rope. I wonder how long it would have lasted had they let them stay down in the sand. But Rupert is full of surprises.

They haven't had a mental challenge yet where they just answer questions. Didn't they do this last time when one team kept losing giving that team a chance to win?

 

[stormi65]

I agree with you. The challenges have been more physical and re vamped a bit. The Morgan's have had no luck what so ever. Probably a mental immunity challenge is coming up.

Rupert seems focused and strong. Osten has much muscle, but maybe it is just for show.

 

[TIGGERSMOM]

I agree, I think Rupert would never go for throwing a challenge. I think whoever suggested it just puts a big target on their back.

I would love to Lil come back, this time a little more savy on game play. In her closin she said she wasn't good a lying. Half of the game is being a decent liar, and lying in a way that doesn't po your fellow competitors.

The challenge that included the puzzle did have some mental challenge. IMO Drake has one each challenge because they have mental toughness. Each time Morgan has lost, they have lost IMO because of lack of mental toughness. In fact, they have been ahread a couple times, but lost because Drake has more of a no give up attitude.

 

[TIGGERSMOM]

cardaway - Exactly. Drake is much more focused going into challenges.

IMO Osten is really a weak link. He may be physically strong but in both challenges last night he was a big factor in their loss. In the boat challenge he sat back at first when Andrew's boat was being double teamed. Andrew even yelled at him to get over & help. Then when he did, he helped sink his own boat by standing on a corner and letting water rush in. I can't see why Andrew doesn't see past the muscles to realize they have no heart behind them.


I would love to join the RealityPlanet league how do I do that?

 

[Kirby]

I guess I must have missed that one. I was thinking more of like the challenges where they had to remember what the guide book said or like the one last season where they went into a hut and then had to remember what was there. But on reflecting on the Morgan team, I'm not sure that they would win on that kind of challenge either. Since the challenges have been mostly physical, I expect a different sort to show up soon.

Does this year's seem a little different to you? We don't hear or see any complaining about no food, no water. We don't see them eating much at all, though I know they do. Sleep seems to be the big issue.

 

[cardaway]

The biggest unadvertised difference I have seen is the lack of focus on the attractiveness of the players. I think they received a lot of flack for last season.

I have seen nothing in the challenges that isn't similar to other seasons. Remember the huge ball in Africa and how Ethan got hurt? The difference in the challenges IMO is one team has been unlucky to end up with a lot of quitters on one team. I feel sorry for Andrew, but I think he will be there to mix with the best of Drake.

 

[Amy]

I certainly hope they don't mix up the tribes like they've done the last two Survivors when one tribe kept winning everything. Why not let it play out to it's natural end? It would be kind of nice to see Morgan self-destruct.

Even though I had Lillian on my tribe in the Fantasy League, I think it was time for her to go. For a Scoutmaster, she sure didn't show much leadership on the island. Maybe she was afraid to be a "strong female leader," but SOMEBODY on Morgan needs to get them organized and get some kind of schedule going! What are they going to eat once their rice is gone?

And I hope Drake doesn't throw the immunity challenge next week, although I can see Rupert being very angry at whoever might suggest such a thing!

 

[RUDisney]

At this point, I don't see how Morgan would win an intellectual challenge either. They have no spirit as a team and I think they'd psyche themselves out even if having to use their minds instead of muscle. They don't seem to be eating the way Morgan is. Nutrition has alot to do with mental capabilities.
