Charlie had major weight loss. Given his behavior/traits I'd feel safe to just call it attention-whoring.

That and he probably doesn't win.

Charlie is also per items elsewhere giving print and radio interviews ALREADY. Not a good sign for his winning.

And he's a friend of Eliza's?I love Eliza myself. I especially loved her after seeing how kind and caring she was in the Ponderosa videos to the recent cast-offs as they came trudging in....

The Wedding Photographer Who Hates Weddings.

I like that as a title of something. He got a very complex, detailed edit, I thought also. Like he's in it for the long haul. He gets switched and the switch helps/saves him? He's MSing with Corrine And Charlie. I think that means he becomes part of the Onion Alliance. Replacing Bob and/Jaquie.And he's got Charlie there and not Marcus...Hmmm...

I still think this points to a Marcus win. Everytime someone...

Does he seem like he can control it? Like, we saw him being pretty mild-mannered, if not actually very constructive, with GC about cooking the rice in drinking water. If he can think humorous nasty thoughts in his head but not let them come out his mouth, he should be ok.

If he is a wedding photographer and hates wedding's he probably does that all the time.

Remember, Jeff-S2, Robfather-S4, ShiiAnn-S5 and Angie-S10 all had lots of screen time and confessionals during these seasons and they all went pre-jury.

I would like Randy to go far, but I just don't see it based on story arcs alone... yet. On a good sign for him, he's one of the only Fangs who we have seen discuss strategy for the road ahead as opposed to just getting through a TC.

From the TV Guide Preview: Randy - "Tens of thousands of dollars of therapy...

sorry... forgive me, another thought.

i feel like Randy is being painted like another Penner. we haven't seen it yet, but i'd wager he ticks the others off in a similar way. hopefully he's smarter... we shall see.

He's got Pygmy Island polarized. One of the mods has been deleting his posts (would a long-timer post so openly?), but not before several have been copied...

If anyone on Fang wins, it will be Randy (Ken a distant 2nd)

Marcus, Charlie, and Corinne are the 3 only Kota visible and strategizing enough be be edgically viable
Fang's edit was relentlessly negative. It sided with Randy and Michelle's assessment of the tribe. Thus, it's bumbling wannbe leaders like Crystal, GC, and Dan have no shot. But Randy might.

Randy's top MS friends are Charlie and Corinne. And Corinne was first to comment on both Charlie...

Randy/Dan are apparently teamed up, with Matt/Crystal/GC/Ken kinda a loose foursome and Susie out on her own.

Kota losing the next two ICs, followed by a swap, seems to be a possible scenario.

You think Paloma and Kelly or Paloma and Ace are out?

Possibly Corinne is a key player this season. In episode 1, she introduces herself as a bitch but we haven't seen it yet as she has started off being in the background in the first few episodes. This is reminiscent of Fairplay's edit in Pearl Islands. He was a background character in the first few episodes but did introduce himself as Jonny Fairplay who doesn't play fair in the first episode. Of course, Jonny became the major villain of that season. It's very possible...

GC, Kenny and Crystal (and later Crystal and Matty) were discussing who to boot (Gillian or Dan). I don't think this is a strong alliance, but they were shown them discussing it and coming to their consensus. Randy and Susie weren't part of that and that is very possibly an important omission. Randy is being cast as an outsider, albeit an interesting one.

feeds@yuku.com (Kirblar) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 12:38:35 GMT

What alliance? The Kota MySpace thing combined with the early negative facetime is what leads me to think he's out sooner than later. He's the only boot on Fang they've set up who's still in the game.

I *hope* Sun is around but while we wait - discuss the story arcs in this thread (I won't pretend to have the zing that Sun does)

So I know good vs. evil blah blah but it doesn't seem to be as simple as that. I see both on both tribes

Am I supposed to like these people? There may be a few gems but overall ..........
