And, she of course was the only contestant ever to be in, ahem, certain other types of media. Oh wait, never mind cough Brian, Ozzy cough*

I suppose I was having a couple extra childhoods; we had an Atari in the late 80s, only I was in my early 30s. Did you ever play the game Solaris?

(Amanda, Cirie, Erik, Natalie, Parvati) I think this one is so iffy. Parvati was damn near invisible during the swap episode.

I think it's implicitly N to be so UTR/INV for so long; then when she did have significant facetime, she was NN. She should get a Red for this one. A similar argument for #6 - how is Natalie Green for this one?

The range for "2" was 7-15, Cirie had a 12 with 2 confessionals. Not a superduper 1st episode, but totally within the edgic guidelines. ETA: Hey, guys, if you want to see how truly strong Parv and Cirie are re their edgic, just check the season MOR etc. numbers. They are both in PERFECT shape to win.

Brian didn't have a big ep 1. Amber didn't have a big ep 1. Danni didn't have a big ep 1. Aras didn't have a big ep 1, though he was featured in the Viveros scene.

And almost always they are featured before the first commercial break. (Tom and Amber, I believe, are exceptions) -Tina was a deliberate trick by being the only person (aside from her family/occupation intro) not to have a solo single frame shot to go along with the sole zero confessional.

I was thinking it was all of them (though I remember her quote about it). She had the Time cover all to herself--although I don't really think there was any real basis behind her being the chosen castaway other than her happening to be a hot chick* in a tiny bikini. *At the time. Oh snap! Vee may not have had a big ep 1 but the "Sarah's got a cute body--she paid a lot for it" line was one of the most memorable parts...I remember a lot of the early reviews of the premiere specifically mentioned that line as a highlight. So she definitely made her mark during the premiere even if she wasn't a big character.

Oh snap! The cover read "America likes to watch" or something like that, and it had Jenna Lewis with binocular outlines around her in her bikini. It was all about how voyeuristic this new craze called reality TV is.

Speaking of guidelines, I agree with Panurge that they don't carry the full force of the law. I mean no-one has been carted away to any penitentiary for breaking guidelines. They're there to be stretched, even to breaking point when *logic*, in this case editing logic, demands that they be so stretched. And Venatrix Avia, are you going to sanction Jillian Lindsay Lohan?

(Amanda, Cirie, Erik, Natalie, Parvati) I think Parvati edit was pretty much close to perfect as far as visibility is concerned. Her low visibility in episodes 4 - 7 is something I look for when looking for the winner. Cirie on the other hand a 5 in episode 2 and 3 (in episode 2 she was 3 times the episode average) and it is not typical of a winner to get 5's that early, if at all, in the game. Amanda completely fails this guideline.

This is just going strictly by the charts, but the only person even remotely close to the past couple of winners, editing wise, is Cirie. Plus, I still think Parvati was invisible the switch episode. :p

Posts: 1507 (05/08/08 9:15 AM) Edgician Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	gr, I've always held to the penultimate thing. It hasn't failed once. Been more pronounced some season than others, but never failed. What do you think about the winner now? Last episode sucked for us. cl said I don't have the fondness for Cirie this season -still pulling for her, but it's not the joy I had when I watched her before. That's either you CL, or in my view, subtle Tone editing. Good work, editors, to keep a former fan's "fave" from coming off the same way while being the "same person." I think it was intentional. grenade, watch Chris in Vanuatu, for eps 3-5. Other than a debated CP that wasn't to most, he was completely UTR. It's not a bad thing. Michael

What, specifically, defines "the penultimate thing (which has never failed)", since I presume you'd be talking about tonight's episode? kthx...

Amanda was so neglected during it that I was like there is no possible way she's winning.

Posts: 1190 (05/08/08 9:48 AM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Francois, basically, the 'guideline' is used to eliminate the person edited as likely to win in the second-last episode. Conversely, the person given the most doubt in that episode is usually the winner. Lol, OTH. Not too sure about Alexis' chances any more but I'm still clinging to the theory that, in this special edition of returning players, group edits are more important than individual edits and that the favorites as a group have not been edited to win throughout the season. Long-shot now, I know, but like you, I'm sticking with it until I get Alexi'd two more times .

This is exactly why Watchdogs were created. To begin with, it was two UTR1s and one UTR2: three UTRs in a row, not 4-5. That's pretty damned low, but by that point we were expecting a female winner. Female winners have always received lower visibility than the men. Why? Ask SEG. It's probably some sexism on the part of the eds and the awareness of sexism in the tribes. The successful women avoid the "aggressive leader" tag as much as possible, which means keeping a lower profile. The very broad winner pattern is usually early game establishment (game cred), a fade into the general background between eps3 and 7, with a rise in complexity and visibility between just before and just after the merge. Two words to emphasize from that claim are "broad" and "usually". That's where all the fun is in this game.

I don't have the fondness for Cirie this season -still pulling for her, but it's not the joy I had when I watched her before. I thought Eliza was fantastic this season though and brought it, and is still bringing it on the jury. Maybe because Eliza was the same good ole underdog she was in Vanuatu, but Cirie has been part of the power alliance since ep.3. There was some Cirie vs Ozzy editing, but no Cirie vs Parmanda stuff. Since the merge, Cirie has became merely a member of Team Parmanda and the Black Widows Brigade. That's not great for her chances.
