Didn't Colby have both his caribeners off the ropes at points, when you had to keep at least one on at all times?

Yeah his caribeners both came off the rope at the same time for like a half a second. It's ridiculous. People have been saying he "cheated"
since 2001. It was a complete accident, and it made no difference in the challenge. People also harped on the fact that he should have been disqualified for
taking coral from the reef.
Methinks lots of people have just never liked Colby. |

He said in his chat that he picked up the coral off the beach and didn't disrupt any precious underwater habitats. But that could just be what CBS lawyers
told him to say.

In an overhead shot of Colby passing Amber, he clearly unclips both of his hands to maneuver around her. Yeah his caribeners both came off the rope at the same time for like a half a second. It's ridiculous. People have been saying he "cheated" since 2001. It was a complete accident, and it made no difference in the challenge. Intentional or not, for a split-second or a full minute, it was still a violation of the rules, and he still deserved to be DQ'd. And it did make a difference in the challenge. By unclipping both hands he was able to more easily get around Amber to take the lead and win. And don't even try to convince me that he didn't notice that he did it.

It's true. I remember he and Amber were at an area in the challenge course where they had to navigate around big mess of ropes and Colby took both things
off quickly and snapped one to the end of the obstacle and kept going.

Intentional or not, for a split-second or a full minute, it was still a violation of the rules, and he still deserved to be DQ'd. But the question is whether anyone ELSE noticed it...if they didn't, then they couldn't exactly go back and DQ him once they saw the footage, months later. And I agree that it made a difference, since Colby could have been voted off if he'd been vulnerable. |

So basically Jeff doesn't catch this but catches Jenna's foot lift up for a milisecond??

Jeff was probably waiting at the finish line of that challenge. Not like now where he would be chasing them through the woods, screaming at the top of his
lungs.

I can't blame Colby really, I used to think that was a big deal but it really isn't. I'd lie, cheat, and steal if I was on the show. Didn't
they have to re-do the immunity challenge at some point during episode 2 of Survivor Palau that wasn't show and when they reset the weight that either
Willard or some people on Koror tied the rope around their leg so that the producers couldn't move it back as far?

Yeah, Willard confirmed that on his Survivor Live interview.

And as for how Jeff saw Jenna's foot but not Colby--well, they were standing there in one place, with cameramen all around (I don't know for sure that JEFF was actually the one who noticed it, even if the editing gave him credit. If a cameraman saw it and called it out, they of course wouldn't show the cameraman's comment, so they had Jeff say it. Maybe. |

Didn't Adam wipe his ass with Jonathan's shirt after the Nate boot in Cooks? Or was that just a rumor?
