**Jayjay** –now _that_ was funny-- they were showing Gregg & Marcia snuggling and everybody was… just… _staring_ at them… ---

What would be cool, is if Steph and Bobby John get to be the Pickers of two NEW tribes. Instead of a merge just break up the alliances in the other tribe. Then call them the Sharks and the Clams 😃 ---

> [@jayjay](#): > > Koror is probably driving the camera teams crazy. Here they’ve gotten used to sluggish, predictable contestants the last few seasons and suddenly they throw this bunch at them! Always off doing SOMETHING, poking at snakes or chasing sharks or swimming for clams or watching the couple canoodle… the poor camera crew have had to work harder this season than they’ve had to since probably Marquesas. Ha! You’re so very right. And I’m guessing that’s why I like this season so much. There’s very little of the usual bits of people lounging around; Janu excepted. The Ulong camera crew must be bored stiff, on the other hand. ---

I just think it would be awesome if it came down to Bobby Jon getting voted out (or something) and only Steph was left …only to have her commence kicking every single Kororian ass left, one at a time. THAT’d be good tv. ---

THAT’d be good tv. And I think she could do it! She is an awesome competitor. Too bad she got stuck with such a bunch of wusses. ---

What I want to know is, how does a covered well end up with a water level above ground level? ---

Well, an [artesian spring](http://www.wwnorton.com/earth/egeo/overview/ch16.htm) does, but I think they’re more often flowing, and out of the side of a mountain that happens to intersect the aquifer. I bet it’s more likely that the crew dumps a bunch of water in a cistern every day. Further googling leads me to think that they do occur in volcanic islands, so maybe that’s what it is. ---

> [@Judith Prietht](#): > > Forgot all the tribe stuff; I wanted to see Tom actually catch the shark! As far as I could tell, it seemed like the camera people were focused on Ian and Gregg (?), and not on Tom as he went off down the beach. machete in hand. Remember the uproar the time they showed the pig getting killed? I don’t even remember if they actually showed the death but enough of it was on camera to freak some people out. Note: I’m not justifying this, just trying to explain it. ---

Yep. That’s what I was talking about. For all that they’re doing a reality show, they’re not very adventurous. They didn’t show Scout and Amy kissing their girlfriends last season, either… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/survivor-palau-3-30-05/297001.md?page=2)
