After leading all season in the Survivor Fantasy league, and royally kicking Aaron's (shoefly's) butt, I lost my 1st place standing over the finale. And why? Because I am no good at saying who is going to go out when and that's the only way to make points on the last episode.
I know that no one reading this will really care about the points I got on fantasy league which really are no good to me except as bragging rights over Aaron, but I wanted to beat Aaron to the punch of saying I lost my first place standing. Yes, Aaron I did, but I was in the lead the whole game and I kicked your butt so whatever. I admit I am no good at predicting who will win. I wanted Sandra to win, but I thought she would go out early and I did think Jon would make it to the final two. If Lill had been smart she would have taken Jon and I would have made more points. However the fact that Jon got no money out of the game makes me EXTREMELY happy.
So I came in second. Oh well....what place were you Aaron? Oh that's right we don't like to talk about that. Hmph!
Posted by nuala at December 15, 2003 01:54 PMI was in 5th place this season. Admittedly, you spanked me. However, you managed to leave out that i placed 1st last season, and kicked you butt in a very royal and ancient fashion.
Anyway, i'll give you your props, because you led all season long and only through a miracle was Chris able to overtake you (barely), in the final episode.
Did you like my list of 16 all-stars for the next season? I wonder if Rupert will be on that show. If so, then he probably left for another island immediately following the recent taping of the final for this season. I think Rupert was my all-time favorite, although I liked Tom the goat farmer a lot too, and also Alicia, the workout trainer. I actually enjoyed Jon as the villain too. You must admit, he was entertaining to watch. Some of the things he said about women were stunning. I think he must have had his tongue in his cheek, but if not, then he's a pretty sorry person. I know you hated him. I think it was an act though, and all for shock entertainment.
For the record, here are the final standings:
1st, 4210, turn it off (chris)
2nd, 4186, nuts to you (nuala/eecs)
3rd, 3430, henrymorgan (diane)
4th, 3606, yo-ho-hos (tiffany)
5th, 2259, the discharged sea men (aaron/eecs)
6th, 2024, the lightning five
7th, 1792, what is for lunch (jennifer/eecs)
8th, 1123, aquabeard (lorie/eecs)
Also, i may have lost, however i had the most creative team name. It was based on the pirate theme. Some sea men make nautical blunders and get discharged, you know.
Posted by: shoefly on December 17, 2003 03:38 PMJon probably did say things for the shock value, but I hated him none the less. I mean lying about your grandmother dying is just low and unnecessary.
But he was fun to hate and root against.
I did like your list. However I don't know everyone as I haven't watched all the seasons. I am looking forward to the All Star. I do hope Rupert is there. He was definately the best.
And as for your creative team name all I have to say is Nuts to You....
Posted by: nuala on December 18, 2003 07:28 AMHey!
Your Vik's Chaat Corner link is bad. It's absolutely unacceptable!!!!!!!!!!!
I was thinking, both of our team names are actually very closely related, because sea men come from nuts.
Posted by: shoefly on December 19, 2003 05:31 PMWell what link would you have me use. It's not like they actually have a site!
