My guess is #6 is the made up story.

(in Chicken’s voice)

DAMN!

I made it too obvious. No wonder I have bad luck on dates.

Well, here’s another one, and in keeping with the theme of October/Halloween, these are all murder-related.

Which is the made-up story?

1. A 15-year-old Oklahoma boy shot and killed his 12-year-old girlfriend because she refused to give sex to his best friend.

2. In Rhode Island, a man was convicted of killing four women and received the maximum penalty allowed under the law at the time - imprisonment for five years.

3. Two young men in Minnesota entered a convenience store and fired four shots into the clerk because a month earlier, the clerk had caught one of the men shoplifting and called the police.

4. An 18-year-old in Georgia shot his father five times in the head and then set him on fire. He was angry because his father had refused to let him marry his 16-year-old girlfriend.

5. In Washington DC, a teenage boy shot and killed a mother and her daughter in their home because the mother refused to pay the $150 he had been sent to collect by a crack dealer.

6. In Iowa, a man, accompanied by two of his friends, entered a convenience store and smashed the clerk’s skull with a hammer. They stole $61 from the cash register, divided the loot, and agreed that the man who had killed the clerk was entitled to an additional fifty cents.

7. Lawyers for a man accused of shooting an acquaintance seven times with a .22-caliber handgun argued that he should be convicted of third-degree murder rather than first-degree murder because he had been high on cocaine at the time of the killing.

8. Two girls, aged 15 and 14, talked their way into an 85-year-old woman’s house and stabbed her 28 times. When police captured the girls and searched their homes, they discovered that the 14-year-old had written in her diary, “We killed an old lady today. It was fun.”

They’re all bogus.

Either that or they are VERY obscure.

One of these two statements is correct:

Since they went back to 16 survivors, there will be a final two like previous editions.

There will be a final three so that a strong player can't just pick another player that isn't likeable in order to have an easier win.

If you want to know the answer, I will give it by private reply.

Nope, only one is bogus. But they’re quite obscure, yes. Most of the incidents happened over a decade ago.

Looks like Ashley was right when she told Davey, “I’ll be seeing you real soon.” LOL. World’s smallest violin for Dave.

Survivor seems to have had a lot of female cops on the show - there was Jessie from Africa, Amy from Guatemala, and Cristina from Cook Islands. The only male cop I can remember is Ken from Thailand. Were there any others?

First off. Posting at 3:45 in the morning? (my morning at least) Don't you ever sleep?

Second, I'll have to dig back in my files to answer your question so it may take a while.

I sometimes have to do night jobs.

Those Charles Schwab commercials with the turning real people into cartoons are really annoying.

Yes, Ken from Thailand has been the only male Cop.
Unless you want to lump FBI agents in with Cops.
Then you would have to include Brady Finta from Survivor: Vanuatu.

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen,

Yep! It’s me once again with your:

SURVIVOR PING!

The Fei Long (flying dragon) Tribe: Red Buffs
Aaron, Amanda, Courtney, Denise, James, Jean-Robert, Todd

The Zahn Hu (fighting tiger) Tribe: Yellow Buffs
Erik, Jaime, Frosti, Peih-Gee, Sherea

The Losers:
Chicken, Ashley, Leslie, Dave

The title of tonight’s episode is: ”Love Is in the Air”

For hints on what to expect tonight, start highlighting at the - > below:
For those of you in Rio Linda, that means DON’T highlight it if you don’t want to know what happens!

- > From the SeeBS website:
One castaway confesses that he is a virgin while flirting with a tribemate he admits he has a crush on.
A physical attraction provokes a shocking reveal--the existence of the Hidden Immunity Idol.
And later, chaos abounds after a tribal switch, leading to tears, fears, cracks in tribal loyalties, threats of throwing challenges and a blindsiding vote at Tribal Council.


I doubt that there will be a Reward Challenge tonight. Instead, each tribe will “select” two warriors to “kidnap” from the opposing tribe. What they don’t know is that these kidnappings will become permanent. The spoiler websites claim that the Zahn Hu tribe will pick Aaron and James, while the Fei Long tribe picks Frosti and Sherea. Also, both tribes are given a “basket of luxury items.” Which explains why most of the players show up for the Immunity Challenge in “never before seen” swimsuits.

The title for tonight’s Immunity Challenge is “Plunge, Pull 'n' Pop” and according to John Kirhoffer (Survivor’s challenge producer) is “one of the season's most grueling.” The challenge has two distinct parts. In the first, two members from each tribe start out on a raised platform in the water where, on Jeff’s “go”, they must alternately dive down as far as 15 feet to pull out a series of bamboo poles that each release a puzzle piece. According to Kirhoffer, “Visibility [in the water] wasn't all that great.” Once all 12 puzzle pieces have 'popped' to the surface, the survivors gather them in a boat and race to shore, where the rest of their respective tribes take over to decipher a complex puzzle. When is becomes apparent that one tribe is intentionally trying to “throw” the challenge, this tribe receives a few choice words of warning from Probst. Fei Long wins this challenge, sending Zahn Hu back to Tribal Council yet again.


Well there you have it: Cuz’s Weekly Survivor Picks

Start highlighting again: - >

Reward Challenge Winner: No Challenge, Tribal mix up instead
Kidnapped: No Kidnap, instead Aaron and James gets switched to Zahn Hu, Frosti and Sherea get switched to Fei Long
Immunity Challenge Winner: Fei Long (Zahn Hu throws the challenge to get rid of Aaron.)
Voted out: Aaron

I’ll be back Monday morning with a recap of tonight’s episode, so till then,
Take Care,

FReepmail me if you want added to (or removed from) the Survivor Ping List.

There’s a rumor that Christy actually intended to vote for Matt, but because she was deaf and wasn’t reading Jeff’s lips, she didn’t hear Jeff say “this time, you’re voting for someone, not against someone.” So when she wrote Jenna’s name down, she thought she was actually voting against her. It was never mentioned publicly because it would be too humiliating for Christy. Anyway, Jenna still would have won 5-2.
