wow, it's getting combative in here.

skoffing, about reworking the edgic formula- I think everyone has their own formula or hunches, some completely mathematical. none of that really works for me -the only thing I rely on are storylines, so I just keep rewatching and keeping a running tally on what is left dangling to be revisited.

I believe it's OnlyTheHunter that always keeps this in perspective that editing starts with the end result and works backwards- and I think that's a wonderful way of looking at it. And sometimes that's not always about the winner -Stephanie for example was their gold (in CBS's mind at least) and I feel was preoccupied with her- but working backwards works the best for me -usually in at least determining, narrowing down the final four.

I keep everyone alive until that CHARACTER'S (not person's) torch is snuffed. But I keep seeing what are they doing with the characters left in the game and where they've been and what would fit into the projected future -mainly the endgame. (Example: Can anyone see a final four of Randy and Bob fighting out and negotiating as a last two in an immunity challenge, as opposed to say Kenny and Sugar? I give more weight to the latter two because things have been more projected for this dynamic to return) All I'm looking at are things that can come up in the future -will I always be right, and sometimes there will be groupings that have me scratching my head? Sure- it's not a science, it's an art form. I'm just trying to narrow in on what I think is stronger in being built up.

Re: Corrine. To me, she's negative. Has nothing to do with me not liking her. I personally feel like she's the go to person to cut to in order to instill drama- and only with confessionals. I rewatched every episode after Marcus left, looking intently at every possible tread (huh, me a loser? well, I'll have you know ...okay, no, you're right) All she has is duping Bob because he's easy to do this, Charlie calls her smart in regards to this, and stating she hates most of these people. Kota IS/WAS the Onion alliance. What was the alternative to show? Paloma and Kelly? Didn't amount to anything. Ace making alliances? I totally get the reward and the kid moment -and I loved it, and I like Corrine. But I also feel like sometimes reward moments are almost like pausing the game and showing that everyone is human and compassionate (Lex was the villain in Africa but that all goes out the window when visiting the AIDS hospital), and you know these are real people who got to be on a hard, stressful game and is broadcast on television- no need to complete destroy them to fit them into a box. But then Corrine is used for her roll as the bad guy post reward- I can not possible think that Corrine is not being used as the one with egg on her face when she says things like, "Marcus won't leave," "She's a forty-seven year old woman, what could she possibly have over me?!", "Sugar's such a moron."
