The words on Ev1 & Gutman

Commentary and speculation from various SUCKS posters

(Put together by atherella with commentary from various sucksters)

 

The purpose of this little essay of sorts is to try and keep everything organized that both EV1 and MrGutman have posted.  There is also speculation added in which has been taken from various posters from Sucks.  I try to give credit to those whose posts I borrowed from.

 

Dates and times have been included in case anyone notices a pattern as to when each tends to post.  (Besides the fact that when one posts, the other seems to show up)

 

This by no means represents MY OPINION and should not be read as such.  I just tried to get a summary together in hopes that someone can decipher the clues that are being left and taunting those of us following the thread.  Whether there is real spoiler value here remains to be seen, yet to simply overlook it and dismiss it, would be a shame, especially if there is information hidden in these messages that really pan out.  So, enjoy the riddles, have fun, and feel free to contact me with any input you have.

 

Since Ev1 popped back up and continues posting, I will either update this essay or do a continuation - Part 2 to keep us all updated.  This seems to help in keeping the “relevant” posts together and skip through some of the various other topics that pop up.

 

For reference:

 

Ev1’s posts will be in blue - MrGutman’s in red

Comments from various Sucks posters will be highlighted in violet.

 

Happy spoiling/speculating Survivor fans!!!

 

Ahhh, after digging a bit, I found a post from EV1 which dates back to:

The 4th Tribe

 

I have heard this rumor circulating. But, I have heard that it is Sean Rector and Brian Heidek returning as well as Johnny Fairplay and Gina from S4. Apparently, the island is in turmoil after they return. People will be pissed. Who is your source GFactor? New id's make me nervous. You could be just a jerkoff looking for attention.

Sean Rector on A.S.S.?

 

This just in...Sean Rector confirmed missing from the school he teaches at during the filming of A.S.S. Vaca? I think not. Could he be part of the rumored 'ghosts of survivor past' tribe? Maybe.

================================================================

Another Ev1 post from the same thread as the one linked above.

Sean Rector

 

The school receptionist was very hesitant when answering my questions. But, that's probably pretty normal. I don't want to read too much into that. All we know is, he was gone for at least a month.

================================================================

Note:  This was the last post I could find by Ev1 until he/she came back on Feb. 4th and started the “You are all being bamboozled thread”

First off, I have posted here before. Secondly, it doesn't matter how hard I will try to convince you, most won't believe me. But, I have come across information that will blow the Chill one and Sleek spoilers out of the water. They are plants folks. The boot order is true only through the first 4 votes. What I can tell you, is that the awkward moment between Jeff and Johnny Fairplay on the reunion show has validity. I am actually in fear that people will come after me. So, I will not give too much away. What I can say is..."Do you really believe the boot order would be handed to you on a silver platter for the All Stars show?" And, why do you think so many Survivors are rumored to be pissed about how things went down? There are rumors that legal action is taken by survivors. That just doesn't mesh with the boot layout. The big twist my friends is that this board is being fooled. A scenario will take place around week 5 or 6 that will make everyone here scratch their heads. I guarantee it. Go ahead and start your countdown. But, don't forget this day. I will be vindicated.

================================================================

Notes:  Ev1 was correct about Sleek being correct through the first 4 boots. 

 

**Sleek is an admitted hoax.  Is he a plant?  There is the “letter” supposedly from sleek and “team” stating he was a plant.  Was this letter real or another hoax by someone with time on his hands?

 

**Ev suggests that what JFP said at the PI reunion holds validity.  JFP said “Maybe during ASS my grandfather will die”  or words to that affect.  Thus, following Ev’s reasoning, that means that JFP really does make an appearance in ASS.  (More on that further below)

 

**Ev suggest he/she is in fear that people will come after him.  Who?  Ev does not sound like he is suggesting a C&D or a contract breach, he used the word “fear” which seems to imply fear for his safety.

 

**Legal action by survivors.  Plural.  We know about the Sue incident now.  It is possible she sues CBS either as a direct result of the incident or perhaps because she quits and forfeits her money.  Or maybe this isn’t it at all.  Who else is rumored to sue?  Why?

 

“A scenario takes place around week 5 or 6 that will make everyone scratch their heads”. 

**We saw in episode 5 the incident with Sue and Rich.  Is this what Ev is referring to?  We all seem to be having heated debates as to what really happened.  Is this the head scratcher?

 

**Ev1 claims to have posted on Sucks before.  So, Ev1 is a ghostnic (DUH).  Does anyone see any similarities to other former posters or even previous posters style?  (Ev1 could also still be posting under another name, which would explain why he always shows up at the same times as MrGutman)  Perhaps, Ev1 is a FREQUENT poster.  Just speculation.

 

**bamboozle

\Bam*boo"zle\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Bamboozled (?); p. pr. & vb. n. Bamboozling (?).] [Said to be of Gipsy origin.] To deceive by trickery; to cajole by confusing the senses; to hoax; to mystify; to humbug. [Colloq.] --Addison.

What oriental tomfoolery is bamboozling you? --J. H. Newman.

Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, © 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc.

 

bamboozle

v : conceal one's true motives from esp. by elaborately feigning good intentions so as to gain an end; "He bamboozled his professors into thinking that he knew the subject well"

 

**Ev1 seems to have gained confidence between the December posts and the February posts.  The tone of the posts changes considerably, from this may happen to a very definite “You are all being bamboozled”

 

**Note, MrGutman did not make an appearance after this first post

I'm curious about that, myself. When it disappeared yesterday, I assumed it was deleted for being a hoax. I even looked over in The Dump, and it was nowhere to be found. Simply vanished.

Does its sudden reappearance mean that it has been determined NOT to be a hoax?

Enquiring minds want to know.

I'm sorry folks. I have gone underground for now...so to speak. We will chat soon. Some of you are mysteriously accurate in your assessments. I'm not surprised. All sorts of scenarios have been bandied about on this board. Someone is bound to guess correctly. It should also come as no surprise that the 3 tribes rumors started back in S3, finally came into play in the real game in S7. Some of MB's ideas have actually come from very imaginative speculating on this board. So, with that said...watch closely...you never know when your speculation will actually become reality.

================================================================

Notes:  Ok, so it seems Ev1 and Mr.Gutman know each other in some sort of either personal or professional way.  Use of the phrase “I’ll take the whole thing down with me if I have to” baffles me.

Am I going crazy

 

I just clicked back on the spoilers board and I SWEAR I saw a thread that was titled.... the Tau of Bamboozling (sp?)... I always hit refresh and when I did it disappeared. Was it there or am I really nuts? It was also started by Ev1... maybe this one was just renamed for a split second?

Re: Am I going crazy

 

It was there. I posted on it. It has vanished.

I never saw a thread completely vanish like that. Not moved, not locked-DELETED. After only 3 posts. It was cryptic and had no significance. Of course, I am NOT going to repeat what I posted on it. I'm feeling kinda paranoid right now.

And yes-it was started by Ev1,whoever that is.

================================================================

Note:  Posts 12 -14 are also missing.  Perhaps Ev1 posts on a different ez board other than sucks.  Or perhaps I have overlooked the posts.

Tao

 

I spelled it correctly the first time my friend. Must I really walk you down the path whilst holding your hands? Deleted posts could very well stir up interesting conversations.

Try this on for size.
Let's see how long it lasts...

A thousand mountains
where birds fly no more -

ten thousand pathways
where the tracks of men have faded -

a single boat - an old man
in reed cloak and bamboo hat

fishing alone
on the cold river of snow.

Re: tao and tau

 

Ev1. Because Everything now hinges on episode 5, your WordplAy will be your undoing, you have Revealed Yourself as a fake. And now you are posting cryptic puzzles to resurrect your lost reputation. Give up.

================================================================

Note:  Now this is interesting.  Gutman says here that everything hinges on Ep5, which we just saw last week.  How does Ev1’s riddles tie into what we saw come into play last week?

 

Also, using the caps in Gutman’s post spells out the message - BE WARY!

You can try to throw people off track by trying to discredit me all day long. You and I both know the truth of Tao.

The day of Ev1's first post would have been a good day for her to come clean.

You are correct Newbie

 

I couldn't agree with you more. In fact, this message board has been a total waste of everybody's time. The only thing that Ev1 has told us that has come true was that the name of this up-and-coming episode had the word bamboozled in it. But even Ev1 didn't say that the episode title would be caused that. It was merely the name of this message board thread. Other than the title (which I personally believe to be a pure coincidence), Ev1 has revealed absolutely nothing. In fact, he or she is totally relying on us to make "much more" out of his or her posts than actually exist. If he or she were the only poster on this board, the information provided would be useless. It's only because of the word play that people want to believe goes on that we are even paying attention to his or her rant. If JFP or SR do not appear on this Thursday's episode, we will know that Ev1 was a fraud and his or her posts will no longer carry any weight.

================================================================

Note:  This post is in here for a reason.  The importance of it comes into play later.  Bear with me here.  It’s also in pink, because it seems that Mike374 is NOT your average poster.

Ev1's day is here

 

Mornin'

First off, I want to send a 'shout out' to all of my non believers out there who feel they are being bamboozled by my "You are being bamboozled" post. Do you really think I give a Pagong rats hooha about what you think about my credibility, or what it is you think I have to gain by sharing info with you? I hope you think I am a 'plant' or a 'hoax', cause when the next reckoning day comes, you will still be sitting here in judgement with your 'gimme gimme gimme' attitude. You want to know the exact order of who goes next, then go talk to Gutman. He's the true 'snake in the grass' around these parts.

I am here to give clues to you which apparently have fallen on many deaf ears. Now, that I have that off my chest, lets bury the hatch. or as Tom might say, 'down the hatch'.

The trouble with TAO is that nobody truly believes in it. How's that for a head scratcher? (insert whine from various posters) "Ev1 is telling us nothing. S(he) doesn't have the gonads...I hate people like Ev1. Oooh I really do! If he's a trickster, he better be banned for life" (wimper wimper)

I say play the game lurker. I swear, some of you have the playing skills of Jesse from S3. But, I digress...

Flash forward to Episode 9ish. "Don't burn the hands that feed you." If I were to start a rumor about former survivors coming back, would you believe me? Is it fair of me to play you like that? You could go hunting for that info yourself if you so choose. But, let me rectify the situation for you. The man with the bamboo hat is a ghost of survivor past and he is coming for you.

ciao

Who cares

 

The only thing this thread was good for was wasting everyones time.

================================================================

Notes:  Yikes,  I don’t know what to make of all this.

 

SPECULATION AREA:

 

*Ev seems to be suggesting that past castaways are brought into the game, possibly in     

 Ep9.  We do not know in what manner these people may be brought back.

            **I think it is safe to assume this is a ONE day stint only.

 

            Some possibilities:

                        1.  To compete in a challenge with a former or against a former tribe mate?

                                    (Reference: Is it fair of me to play you like that?)

                        2.  A ghost tribe ala S7  *groan*

                        3.  Past players being brought into the game to replace some of the original                        ASS contestants

                        4.  Substitute for the family visit, instead paired up with a castaway from                                         each players original season

                        5.  Past contestants as part of the family visit/challenge

                        6.  Past contestants brought in to sit on the jury.

                                   

            Assumption:  Ep 9 - 10 Survivors left -- the following Survivors are left with        their torches lit…


Jenna L -
Colby -
Alicia -
Amber -
Lex - 
Tom -
Rob Mariano -

Kathy -

Shii Ann -

Rupert -

 

*Also, is there a possibility that Jenna M comes back.

 

* And Tina’s remarks that “You will see me again”

 

*Ep9 - the burned hand reference seems to be Mike Skupin

 

 

*Would it be FAIR to PLAY you like that - reference to Johnny Fairplay?  (PI)

(Early sighting of JFP in the US - no sighting late into the game - that I know of or have heard of)

 

 

 

 

*Hunting for that info - reference to Hunter Ellis?  (Marquesas)

 

 

*Rectify the situation - Sean Rector?

Well we have 1 survivor "missing"...look over is 9+...Sean Rector was gone 1 month from school during ASS...

================================================================

*Pagong rat hooha - Gervase Peterson?  Remember the fuss he made over eating the rats?

 

*Falling on deaf ears - Christy Smith (Amazon)

 

 

*The man with the bamboo hat a ghost of survivor past who is coming for you.

                        Part of the poem Ev1 posted on 2/17

 

                        “a single boat - an old man
                        in reed cloak and bamboo hat”

 

            RE:   the poem - is the “old man” part what is important here.  Old is different                       to everyone.  Older player in comparison to some, yet not old per se.

 

 

            **Here, we have to figure out if indeed this refers to someone who is both OLD                            (if this is important) and in a bamboo hat, or if the key reference Ev wanted us          

                  to pick up on is the bamboo hat, which Ev bolded.

 

            **Who fished alone?

                        1.  Matt from the Amazon.  He also seems to resemble the mystery person                                     in the opening credits.  That poem also seems to fit in with  Matt.                                    Fishing alone - At one with the environment -  Student of Chinese                                     language and philosophy. (Taken in part from Isgal1’s post)

                           BUT, we know that Matt was traveling out of  the country, (Hong Kong,                                    London, etc…. thanks MWW) and therefore,  could not have taken part                                        in ASS.  This has  been verified by people close  to Matt.  Grrrrr, he fit                              so well and it would be SO GREAT to see him again.

Re: Ev1's day is here

 

hmmm

The old fisherman in the bamboo hat... a taoist image of man in harmony with nature. Which ghost from Survivor's past best embodied that image? I'd say Matthew. What a kick it would be if Matthew got to participate in ASS in some way. I would LOVE to see a meeting between Matthew and Rupert.. my two all time favorite survivors. What a team they would make.

================================================================

            Quote:  "I don't think any of us who have been on the show are ever going to tire                    about that," English said Monday, recounting his adventure during the                                  fourth installment of the hit CBS television series. "It's just something                                that's part of us and probably will remain with us the rest of our life. It was                     such a unique experience."

 

 

================================================================

                        5.  Frank Garrison (Africa) - not old per se, yet older than the youngin’s

                                   

 

Frank doesn’t seem to fit in much, he had a hat, didn’t seem to be bamboo, but, still keeping him in since he was mentioned.  Definitely a loner of sorts and into the environment.  Trying to cover all bases.

                        6.  John Raymond (pastor) (Thailand) - suggest by NewHampsta on sucks

Survivor" Finds One Born Every Minute

by Mark Armstrong
Aug 3, 2000, 12:00 PM PT  (Note the date)

We've been bamboozled.

 

In what's been dubbed an ingenious smokescreen by the scheming folks at CBS (they were smarter than we thought), proud papa and island slacker Gervase Peterson was booted from Survivor island Wednesday, silencing persistent rumors that the Philly YMCA coach would take home the $1 million grand prize.

A record 27.4 million viewers tuned in as Richard wiggled to the newest Immunity Dance craze, the Tagi voting alliance remained entrenched to pick off another Pagonger--and most importantly, CBS turned every clever Internet hacker and know-it-all journalist into nothing more than guessing fools.

Ev1 has hatched his plot

 

Ev1,

You got a good one off this time. Be careful now or you may burn yourself. stop cat and mousing around and give these people the goods. If you don't tell them who you are soon, I may spoil your party

================================================================

 

Notes:  Errrr, he refers to Ev as a male again.

 

            **Thought - what exactly could EV1 stand for?  Is there a hidden meaning in the

                name that we are all overlooking?

 

One thought on the name:  Any other takers?  I’ll be more than happy to update this as often as needed.  It’s becoming a bit of a pet project to me now.

One possibility for the name "EV1" is that there is an internet service provider called Everyone's Internet. The email addresses are @ev1.net. I really doubt it that this person would be so uncreative with their screenname, but just throwing that out there.

Get a life

 

The lot of you need to get a life. Really you should all be ashamed of yourselves. Acting like Ev1 has even insider information is preposterous. Let us not forget, Ev1 implied (from what I've read) that new people were going to be coming on this episode and that was the "bamboozle". Unfortunately that didn't pan out for Ev, so the gears begin to move and switch directions. Now all of a sudden there is a riddle. Come on, really. No, the way I see it, you need to really get your Daisy dukes out of your cracks.

================================================================

Note:  Again, bear with me including these posts… you will see the point further below.  Think… distractions.

The story of Johnny Rotten

 

A country road. A tree.

Ev1, so far you have been Lucky. You are the King of platitude. But these people are growing tired of waiting for you to reveal your secrets. You should give them up before they hang you out to dry for causing this dreadful privation.

I Rose, do you remember the Gospels? You have one out of four. Can you place the other three? I wonder . . .

================================================================

Note:  Hmmm, how does this refer to JFP, as suggested in the subject line written by MrGutman?

 

Why is Lucky capitalized?

================================================================

 

**Here is I Rose’s response (he seems to be the most tuned into what Gutman and Ev are trying to say)

Messr Gutman... aka King of Rustoleum (LOL)

 

A little familiar with the Gospels...

I assume the one I have is one of the Synoptic Texts culled from the Quelle (also known ironically as the Q!) although frankly even though I toss it out there, I am not at all confident in my musings at all. Even as far as puzzle-salvage goes.

The one I have is probably the biblically taxing one...

I assume that I am missing the other two Synoptics as well as John the revelator. One of the other synoptics is funny in context, but no clue on how to doctor up the other one to make it fit any sort of context at all! LOL

That is....Unless I am missing all three synoptics, in which case I am ROTFLMAO because of the implications of that. And the Irony!

================================================================

 

**I haven’t quite deciphered all that yet, but thought I would add it on if it helps anyone figure out this riddle.

================================================================

 

**I Rose made a second response to Gutman’s post.

Actually, Gutman occasionally and paradoxically...

 

... bumps this thread of his own accord. Did you catch his allusions here? He is starting to be less confrontational and more cryptic in his posts. I have no freaking clue what he is saying to me regarding the Gospels (since my next book is based upon the Book of James, he would do well to dig a little further down the New Testament line for me to more fully understand what he is trying to get at,) but it is fun to play with his other allusions nonetheless.

His header is from Rust Never Sleeps (Neil Young)
"The King (Elvis/Hatch) is gone but not forgotten;
This is the story of Johnn Rotten (Sex Pistols/JFP?)"

And the Country Road / tree comment is the setting from Waiting for Godot which he also references by making a connection betwixt Lucky ( a character in Godot) with Ev1. Which doesn't really jibe with my interpretation of Godot, Ev OR Gutman for that matter. But c'est la vie.

ETA: New Hampsta - good job, you can also add Gervase (pagong rats), and Christy (deaf ears) to your list from that post. Any clue what that Gimme, gimme, gimme was all about? Or what Gutman is talking about?

Hello EvAn.

 

It seems I finally caught up with you. This charade can't continue forever. Hell hath no fury and all of that. Once shame on you, twice shame on me.

WTF?!?!!??!?!

ETA: Does this title "EvAn" possibly refer to the ever popular EV1???

&

Does the page we are being sent to with all the Australian references refer to Ev1's TAO reference?

Maybe I just read too much today about Ev1 and am now seeing him everywhere!!!

In due time....

 

A little anticipation will do you all some good. Besides, after feeling you up (or should I say out) it seems that some of you enjoy a little puzzle or two.

The identity of your beloved Ev1 will be released here for one and all to see. In the meantime, enjoy the show, and enjoy this www.imdb.com/name/nm1445365/

And as for you Ev1, we warned you this was going to happen. Now Lucy, you have some explaining to do.
