This is becoming rediculous! Of course this season will have a record of blindside that's cuz Jeff is counting pretty much every vote as one! Blindside are what happened to John in Marquesas or James in China... Nowadays ANY VOTE is a one? I mean last week's vote technically wasn't one either... It's starting to piss me off!

A blindside is when the person being voted off doesn't know that they're about to be voted off. Candace fits the bill. She had no idea it would be her. Just because it wasn't as epic as Rupert's blindside or Ozzy's blindside or Leann's blindside doesn't mean it wasn't a blindside.

An example of a pre-merge blindside would be Trish in Pearl Islands. A 7-1 vote is not a blindside, it's just not telling the person they're leaving (smart.) Is that Cruel Intentions? Love it.

Blindsides are supposed to be fun, epic, and unpredictable. Carolina and Candace's boots were just the latter. Probst needs to watch Micronesia again.

Yeah..sorry...I would have to agree with the OP, but...it's really hard to with a word like blindsight. Blindsight = oxymoron btw.

Posts: 658 (02/19/09 11:09 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	A "blindside" to me though is when somebody thinks they're running the show only to not be actually running the show. Deena and Alex in Amazon. Trish in PI. Dolly/Leann in Vanuatu. Judd in Guatemala. Etc. If Candace had gone with the Coach vote only to be blindsided, that'd be different, but she was merely going along with the supposed Sierra vote.

Neither one thought they were going, both were caught unaware and both suffered harmful consequences.

A blindside is really in reference to the AUDIENCE not the cast. we never actually know exactly what each castmember knows when, we only know what the editing tells us.... if the AUDIENCE is completely caught off guard, then it's a blindside...A-DUH.

Remove this ad I think the real problem is that six days isn't enough time for anyone to feel comfortable enough to be truly "blindsided". Probst is using the term too much. I'm surprised Jeff didn't say to Sierra and Sandy on Day 1, "Ooooh! Blindsided!"
