COMMENTS & QUESTIONS

(A) What did you think of this episode? Please be as detailed as you can, wherever possible.

The first episode always is a bit stunted, but now that there is a reward challenge and exile, it feels more fluent. I like how Brooke caught on to Terry, giving some hope to poor Eliza. I hate how Chet didn't just outright quit, but what are you gonna do? People like Chet are stubborn like that, but he was a fitting boot as he doesn't seem developable based on what was shown on the actual show.

(B) What was your overall favorite part of the episode?

I liked Brooke catching on to Aras and Terry. I never read her season, but I really like her. Guatemala's editing always annoyed me because people like Jim, Morgan, Brianna, Brooke, and some others were barely shown just to give Stephenie more airtime. I always liked Brooke and wished she would have lasted longer. Erik getting jealous of Jason was pretty funny as well.

(C) What would you rate this episode out of 10? (1 being the lowest; 10 being the highest)

I will say an 8, and if I could give decimals, it'd be a high 8. That's just because I want to see something in the fans besides how stupid they are. They have really proven that on the show, so it's realistic. I hope something changes, though.

(D) Do you have any questions about this episode that you'd like to see cleared up in a future episode or at the Reunion Show?

Maybe why Chet didn't quit. I don't know why it made a difference to him.

1. SOLE SURVIVOR POLL

(A) Which castaway will be the Sole Survivor?

I'm liking Mary right now. She has an interesting character. I remember seeing how smart she was from her interview on CBS. She's really a smart girl who went before her time because of someone else's mistake. Kathy's fun too, I hope she goes far.

2. WHAT'S NEXT POLL

(A) Which castaway(s) will be voted off in Episode 3?

With the preview of Ami's womens alliance, I am hoping for that to happen and for Terry to go. I just don't like him. Maybe if the girls want to preserve the strength, they'll vote Earl out. For the fans, I think Jason's immunity will be very important, but I guess I think he'll go.

(B) Which two castaways will be sent to Exile Island? (One from each tribe)

Hmmm, maybe Kathy and... Sherea? I'm not too sure.

(C) Do you have any other predictions for Episode 3?

Nothing besides what I've said.

3. POPULARITY POLL

(A) Please rate each castaway's popularity from 1-10. 1 is the lowest score, while 10 is the highest. Please try to base your ratings only on the likeability of the characters in my story, not how they appeared on the real show.

(A) What did you think of this episode? Please be as detailed as you can, wherever possible.

I liked it. Essentially, it served as a vehicle to move multiple plotlines forward and "build-up" the tension within both tribes. The anticlimactic ending with Chet leaving, although disappointing, was the best way to extend the story line further. This is actually my first time reading this story (not coincidentally the first time I've had free time in a year) -- do you randomize the boots? All that being said, I think that the story should and will take off once the metaphorical levee breaks on both tribes.

I have a feeling that the Fans will eventually get the upperhand. Besides Jason and the whole Tracy debacle in Episode 1, the tribe seems fairly stable. On the Favorites, however, you have clear outsiders in Aras/Terry and a floater Eliza, who probably feels scared because nobody will trust her. The editing seems to be foreshadowing Eliza's status as a "Fan" -- I think this is a subtle hint that she will eventually defect.

(B) What was your overall favorite part of the episode?

I loved how we essentially got a character study of Jason -- from his eagerness to help the tribe to his naivete in lying about alliances to Eliza. I have not watched this season (or any since Guatemala) so these characters are relatively new to me. Just by reading this episode I think I have a pretty good idea of who he is. Unfortunately, it looks like Jason moving quickly and prominently to the front will not bode well for him.

(C) What would you rate this episode out of 10? (1 being the lowest; 10 being the highest)?

A 9. Editing wise, I wish I could have seen more action on the Favorites tribe besides the Dave vote aftermath (who, by the way, should have stayed :-P). I feel like I really do not know some of those "six" that seem to make up the core of the tribe. However, I recognize that this was more of a fan-centric episode and it fufilled the storyline progressions excellently.

(A) Which castaway will be the Sole Survivor?

Personally, I would like to see Aras or Terry. Realistically, I'll go with Earl. While not necessarily the focus of either episode, he has been prominently seeing looking "wise-ish" and making contemplative stares. I know this is a weird way to identify the winner, but I feel that both his editing and his position in the game suggest that he'll be around for a long time.

Hello ANDand19. Thank you very much for commenting on the episode. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!

The first episode always is a bit stunted, but now that there is a reward challenge and exile, it feels more fluent. I like how Brooke caught on to Terry, giving some hope to poor Eliza. I hate how Chet didn't just outright quit, but what are you gonna do? People like Chet are stubborn like that, but he was a fitting boot as he doesn't seem developable based on what was shown on the actual show.

Thanks for these comments. In a way, I agree with you about the premieres, but for me, there is always something a little special about them just because they're the first episode of the season. Sometimes it's hard to fit in a lot of stuff with the Reward Challenge and Exile, but it does feel more like a typical episode with all of this stuff. Yeah, I would have had a really hard time trying to fit Chet into a larger story for more of the season. And I think that the rest of the stuff that happens on Airai is great without him. I really like that tribe, as opposed to the real show, when I thought many of them were boring and underdeveloped.

I liked Brooke catching on to Aras and Terry. I never read her season, but I really like her. Guatemala's editing always annoyed me because people like Jim, Morgan, Brianna, Brooke, and some others were barely shown just to give Stephenie more airtime. I always liked Brooke and wished she would have lasted longer. Erik getting jealous of Jason was pretty funny as well.

I'm glad you like Brooke. In Guatemala, I personally don't think I was quite as intuned with all of the characters and their personalities, and I definitely didn't spend as much time trying to figure all of that out. But I enjoy her in this story and I think she comes across how I intend her to. I liked Morgan as a character in my Guatemala story though. But you'll find that I rarely have characters who are extremely ignored and underdeveloped, which I think is a good thing.

It's also nice to see that you liked the part about Erik and Jason. That definitely comes up again in the story!

I will say an 8, and if I could give decimals, it'd be a high 8. That's just because I want to see something in the fans besides how stupid they are. They have really proven that on the show, so it's realistic. I hope something changes, though.

Thanks for rating it an 8. You'll see more strategy from the Fans in the next episode (from the Favorities, as well) - some good and some bad, so hopefully not all the Fans will look stupid.

Maybe why Chet didn't quit. I don't know why it made a difference to him.

I don't have a good answer, but since there are 20 people, if he quit, someone else might have had to be voted out anyway, especially if he quit before Tribal Council or before the Immunity Challenge, so this way him getting voted out took the place of him "quitting" and no one else had to go. I hope that makes sense.

I'm liking Mary right now. She has an interesting character. I remember seeing how smart she was from her interview on CBS. She's really a smart girl who went before her time because of someone else's mistake. Kathy's fun too, I hope she goes far.

I definitely agree that Mary had more potential than was apparent from the real show. And I also enjoy writing for Kathy too.

And thanks a lot for your Episode 3 predictions (I can't really respond to them without giving something away), and for filling out the Popularity Poll. Nice to see quite a few high numbers in there!

Thanks again for your comments on the episode. I enjoyed reading what you had to say, and it's great to have you reading and commenting this season. Have a great day!

Hello aje1988. Great to see another new reader/commenter this season! Thank you very much for your comments on the episode. I really enjoyed reading your thoughts, and I appreciate you taking the time to be so thorough and detailed with your comments.

I liked it. Essentially, it served as a vehicle to move multiple plotlines forward and "build-up" the tension within both tribes. The anticlimactic ending with Chet leaving, although disappointing, was the best way to extend the story line further. This is actually my first time reading this story (not coincidentally the first time I've had free time in a year) -- do you randomize the boots? All that being said, I think that the story should and will take off once the metaphorical levee breaks on both tribes.

Thanks for these well thought-out comments. I usually find, with my stories, that the first two episodes serve sortof as an introduction just to set the stage and give an idea of what is going on within the tribes, and then by Episode 3, the strategy and the game really pick up. That's definitely what happens this time. I know what you mean about Chet leaving being disappointing because it was predictable, which is why I tried to throw some other strategizing in there about Jason. I don't randomize any of the boots. Every decision I make is a conscious choice so that I have full control over the way the story goes. I've never picked anything randomly. Thanks for giving the story a try and reading an episode. I hope you enjoy your free time - I know what it's like to get bogged down with a lot of stuff...

I have a feeling that the Fans will eventually get the upperhand. Besides Jason and the whole Tracy debacle in Episode 1, the tribe seems fairly stable. On the Favorites, however, you have clear outsiders in Aras/Terry and a floater Eliza, who probably feels scared because nobody will trust her. The editing seems to be foreshadowing Eliza's status as a "Fan" -- I think this is a subtle hint that she will eventually defect.

That's a very insightful comment about Eliza's "Fan" status, and it's definitely something that you'll have to keep in mind in future episodes. You could be on to something with that.

I loved how we essentially got a character study of Jason -- from his eagerness to help the tribe to his naivete in lying about alliances to Eliza. I have not watched this season (or any since Guatemala) so these characters are relatively new to me. Just by reading this episode I think I have a pretty good idea of who he is. Unfortunately, it looks like Jason moving quickly and prominently to the front will not bode well for him.

Thanks. I appreciate this comment. I've always felt like my stories did a better job of developing characters and showcasing personalities than the show does in most cases, especially in seasons with more than 16 people. Jason happens to be one of the major characters at this point in the game, and he's once again very prominent in Episode 3 and very developed. I will eventually focus more on other characters too because I like to show everyone.

A 9. Editing wise, I wish I could have seen more action on the Favorites tribe besides the Dave vote aftermath (who, by the way, should have stayed :-P). I feel like I really do not know some of those "six" that seem to make up the core of the tribe. However, I recognize that this was more of a fan-centric episode and it fufilled the storyline progressions excellently.

Thank you very much for rating it a 9!

I've noticed that the episodes do tend to favor one tribe a little bit more. Episode 3 shows one tribe A LOT more, unfortunately. I'm glad you liked Dave though - you would have had to read China to get a full sense of what he was like in there, but I think he was a great character in the premiere too. You're right about not knowing some of the "six" (probably most of them, actually), and that is because they are not all involved in the main story of what is going on right now. Some of them won't really be heard from until Episode 4 which is the drawback of having so many characters and me trying to keep this down to the length/content of an actual episode. It was definitely a fan-centric episode though, and the Favorites will get their time in the spotlight again.

Personally, I would like to see Aras or Terry. Realistically, I'll go with Earl. While not necessarily the focus of either episode, he has been prominently seeing looking "wise-ish" and making contemplative stares. I know this is a weird way to identify the winner, but I feel that both his editing and his position in the game suggest that he'll be around for a long time.

I see that you are a very thorough reader because you pick up things in the gray text. That's a great assessment of Earl with him appearing "wise." I also agree with that, and he seems to not be involved in any conflict or anything. It's nice to see that there's a fan of Aras and Terry though too.

Thank you for filling out the Popularity Poll. Good to see a variety of high and low numbers!

Thanks again for your comments. I really enjoyed reading them, and they were very insightful. I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback. Hope you enjoy the rest of the story, and have a great day!

Oh, I meant to say earlier that I hope everyone read the secret scene for Episode 2 (you have to scroll down to the very last page of the episode), and there is another secret scene for Episode 3 so please be sure to read it. There actually may be two secret scenes since it's so long already that I have to get rid of a lot...

Oh, that's a very interesting idea. For Episode 3, I have three secret scenes at the end and I prefer to leave this one like that (you'll see why when you read it and in my Episode notes, if you read that), but for future episodes, if the secret scene(s) aren't too revealing, I will consider doing an uncut version.

Here's the Episode 2 Edgic chart:

NOTES:

1) I decided to make Eliza a CPP. Only 2 or 3 people rated her this way, (most were CP neutral) but I reread the episode and felt that you were supposed to root for Eliza over Terry/Aras, and that the intent was positive in her favor. I'm still considering this a tentative rating and she might end up with a neutral or mixed if I think about it more and change my mind.

2) My intended rating for Mikey B was MORN4 but most people gave him MOR4 neutral, so I went with that.

3) Jason had 1 more vote for CPM than OTTM; however, my intention was OTTM for him because of his lack of self-awareness in many ways (as leader, about lying to Eliza, and possibly being voted off), and the one-sided way in which his Exile Island scheme was presented. So I tipped the scale in favor of OTTM.

4) And I also gave Aras the negative for association with Terry, and because Eliza and Terry/Aras should have been somewhat polarized with the two guys being negative and Eliza being (somewhat) positive.

EPISODE 3 - Undisclosed Title

Posts: 191

(05/15/08 8:48 AM)

Episode 3 - Undisclosed Title

Jeff Probst: <narration> Previously on Survivor… <'Dissent' plays, as the infrared camera shows a view of the moon illuminating the night sky, and then fades out to show the Malakal tribe's flag>

Jeff Probst: <narration> Aras and Terry's mystery vote for Sherea caused disarray within the tribe of Favorites… <Sherea can be seen turning her head, before the camera scrolls over to Ami>

Ami: Eliza, was it you? <The infrared camera then turns to Eliza>

Eliza: <to Ami> No, it wasn't me! Why would you even ask that? <Aras is shown subtly smiling>

Jeff Probst: <narration> …and threw suspicion onto Eliza. <Ami, Brooke, and Aras are shown next>

Aras: Here's the thing: <short pause> she was working it the other day. <Ami nods her head in agreement> She did not want Dave to go… <The camera zooms back in on Brooke>

Jeff Probst: <narration> But Brooke and Ami were skeptical of their story. <Ami is now shown>

Ami - CONFESSIONAL: I mean, I don't trust Eliza in this game right now, but I don't trust Aras and Terry more, so <long pause> I haven't figured out which one of them's gonna go first yet… <The camera fades out to show a clip of Brooke and Ami both laughing>

Brooke: You have to be a better liar than that to make it in this game! <A close-up view of the Airai tribe's flag is shown, before the camera cuts ahead to show the castaways gathered in a group>

Jeff Probst: <narration> At Airai, Jason took over Tracy's position as the tribe leader, <The camera scrolls across several Fans, and then zooms in on Jason> but the Fans continued to flounder. <Mikey is shown chopping at a coconut with the machete, as the blade hits the side of the coconut, and the coconut deflects a few feet off to the side>

Mikey - CONFESSIONAL: It's somewhat of a comedy show around here. <Mary is shown, as she asks "Hit this?"> We're clearly out of our element; we have no idea what we're doing. <The camera goes back to Mikey, who has a frustrated look on his face> Wow. It's embarrassing that we suck this bad… <laughs> <An expressionless Kathy is shown, as she scrapes the flint with the machete>

Jeff Probst: <narration> The tribe of Fans began a downward spiral: <A clip from the Reward Challenge is shown, as Eliza, Ruth Marie, and Earl are shown decoding a word puzzle>

Eliza: <talking aloud> If you win this Reward, you are "VICTORIOUS." <Earl writes "VICT" down>

Jeff Probst: <narration> First, they lost valuable fishing gear at the Reward Challenge. <Eliza says "Oh my God; that's it!" as the camera shows Jeff checking over their answer word: VICTORIOUS>

Jeff Probst: <shouting> Favorites win Reward! <A prominent drumbeat is heard, as the camera shows the excited Malakal members hugging and cheering>

Jeff Probst: <narration> Then, at the Immunity Challenge, <Quick views of two groups of Favorites pushing wooden barrels are shown> the Favorites won another close battle. <A wide view of the nine Favorites carrying their heavy flagpole over to its slot and drop it in. Jeff is shown raising his arms>

Jeff Probst: <shouting> Favorites win Immunity! <'Heroes' begins to play, as the camera shows Aras and Terry both shouting "Yes!" and then zooms out to show the excited Malakal members hugging>

Jeff Probst: <narration> On Exile Island, <The camera fades into a view of Jason and Eliza being boated to Exile Island> Jason came up with a scheme to tell Eliza false information about his tribe.

Jason: Um, <pause> you know, Joel is our tribe leader and he has an alliance with Tracy, Erik, and Natalie. <Eliza can now be seen looking up, as she says "Mental note">

Jeff Probst: <narration> But when he returned to camp and revealed the plan to his tribemates, <A view of Jason is shown, as he sits down in the shelter with several Airai members> they got angry.

Jason: I have to say, I think my idea was brilliant… <Joel now shakes his head out of frustration>

Joel: <talking loudly> It's brilliant for you, but you just screwed us over because now they're gonna think we got a [censored] alliance! <Mikey smiles and shakes his head, before Erik is shown>

Erik - CONFESSIONAL: Right now, I would almost want to get rid of Jason at the first opportunity…

Jeff Probst: <narration> But Erik's motives for wanting to take his biggest threat out of the game also included jealousy. <The camera continues to focus on Erik for a few seconds>

Erik - CONFESSIONAL: He has individual Immunity at our first Tribal Council, plus he's getting to spend one-on-one time with Eliza on Exile Island; <Erik can be seen putting a lime into his mouth> I want to get to know Eliza, you know? <A worn-out Chet is then shown walking over to his tribemates>

Chet: Guys, I think we need to have a talk before Tribal tonight… <A frustrated Natalie is shown>

Jeff Probst: <narration> With Jason immune and unable to be voted out, <A clip of Jason putting the Immunity necklace around his neck is shown> Chet announced that he was ready to leave the game.

Chet: I'm the weakest person on the tribe, okay? <A prominent sound is heard, as Mary looks up> At this point, there's no getting around that, so in order for you guys to win, I need to be voted out tonight. <The camera then cuts ahead to show a clip of Erik, Joel, Mikey, and Mary talking>

Mikey: Yeah, so <long pause> Chet, Jason… <Rapid clips of both Chet and Jason are shown> Done.

Jeff Probst: <narration> The tribe agreed to grant him his wish, <An aerial view of the Tribal Council village is shown, before the camera shows Jeff revealing the final vote for Chet> and at Tribal Council, he was unanimously voted out. <Chet is shown placing his torch into the slot in front of Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Chet, the tribe has spoken. <The camera now shows Jeff snuffing out Chet's torch>

Chet: Well, <pause> it's my pleasure. They're gonna win this. <Mary is heard saying "Bye, Chet">

Jeff Probst: <narration> Eighteen are left. <A wide view of the nine remaining Airai members is shown> Who will be voted out tonight? <The camera shows the nine Fans grabbing their torches, and then zooms out to show them walking out of the Tribal Council village, as the screen fades out>

Opening Credits: 'Ancient Voices of Micronesia' begins to play, as the camera shows a color-enhanced clip of Palauan warriors striking each other with war clubs, before a traditional wooden mask flashes onto the screen for a quick second. The Survivor: Micronesia logo is then shown, before the camera fades out to show a war canoe being paddled by several Native men and women. The words "20 Castaways" now appear, as the camera shows a rapid clip of a beautiful channel of water, and then abruptly cuts ahead to show the Airai ("Fans") tribe's orange challenge flag. A clip of Kathy picking up a palm frond is shown, before the camera shows a medium-sized photo of her with smoke around it. Mary is now shown running during the first Immunity Challenge. She is then shown smiling in a brightly-colored photo with water running down the right side of it. The camera fades out to show Joel chopping into a coconut with the machete.
