CBS MISDIRECTION (now with speculation!)


-- Feeling isolated, Kathy works to reconcile with a tribemate. (Sounds like Rob; And this realtor has about as much chance of succeeding as finding a young couple to purchase Sadaam's palace.)

--
The castaways get messages from home bringing most of the tribe to tears. After several castaways are brought to tears, one Survivor surprises all. (Looks like someone (Shii?) offers their reward to everyone like S6's Matthew. It will be boring unless someone is like S1 Greg's sister -- I still have nightmares of watching that episode.)

-- Paranoia plagues Jenna, who witnesses a strategy session amongst tribemates.
(CBS needs some sort of misdirection for the predictable boot of Kathy.)

-- Scrambling, panic and pleading intensify as Tribal Council approaches. (Edited drama to look like a Pagonging won't occur.)

REWARD CHALLENGE: Super obstacle course! (Rob wins?)

The CBS promo states: "One reward. One immunity." We're not sure if this means that it's the same challenge or not. It could mean that there is just one immunity necklace.

But regardless, we do know of the reward -- letters and videos from home.
 

We're going to split the video caps in two phases -- 1) the challenge -- 2) the reward.
 


This obstacle course is team-based (as has happened in numerous past Survivors).

The teams are divided into two groups of four:
Group 1: Kathy, Tom, Jenna, and Rupert
Group 2: Alicia, Shii Ann, Amber and Rob.

It appears that throughout the challenge, members are eliminated, or fall behind.

-- For Group 1: Tom appears to be eliminated. Jenna is nowhere to be found after the starting point. So Kathy and Rupert at the end?

-- For Group 2: Amber is behind at some point, then Alicia. Shii and Rob seem to be competing at the front in the end.


  

(Left): The teams begin.
(Right): Obstacles include a balance beam (Rupert at right, in front of Kathy. Alicia is next to her. Amber  is there, too, in dark pants ahead of Alicia).

  

Amber climbs the wall and is helped by Alicia and Rob.

  

(Left): Kathy and Tom, who takes a big fall. An unknown Group 2 member is at the far right.
(Right): Shii (at the left) with Amber and Rob. Alicia is behind Amber

  

(Left):  Rob and Shii Ann underneath beams. (NEAR END OF CHALLENGE?). Alicia appears to be far behind Shii Ann. Thanks to Ives on EZBoard for the help!

(Right): The finish line with four poles/puzzles?
 


So who wins?

-- It looks like in one picture, we have Shii, Amber and Rob facing off next to each other.
-- Then in another picture it's Rob and Shii Ann?

Rob is slightly ahead, but in the pics below, CBS is STRONGLY suggesting that Shii Ann makes some sort of gesture to the tribe with the reward.

Could Shii Ann really win a physical challenge? Well, she did beat Alicia. Who knows?

OK, maybe not. We'll go with a RobFather victory here, because it's just more friggin possible.

But we're not ruling out a team victory.
 

A crying shame. (Viewers lose)
SNORE! We get the old "tapes from home" reward. Expect lots of crying.

The only thing that will make this a good reward is if Probst tells Jenna, "Oops, guess we don't have a tape for you."

Too bad Greg's sister isn't around to scare the American public. We also particularly liked Brian Heidik's wife (one of the few great moments of Thailand). Boy were those contestants smart to give $1 million to a rich former porn star with a hot wife.
 

Anyway, I suppose we should try to figure out what happens. (This is a spoiler site right?)

 

(Left): Survivors meet (pre-challenge?). Notice Rob with no shirt. Alicia with blue shirt. Probably a preview session. Everyone gets a few seconds of tape.

(Right): Probst says, "Look! It's Brian Heidik's porno!"

 

(Left): Rob and Survivors making toast to Shii Ann. Did she do something nice like share her reward? Notice Alicia and Kathy and Rupert not looking in that direction. Also note Rob has a black shirt on. And Alicia has no blue shirt on. (Post-challenge?)

(Right): Shii appears to have a letter in her hand. "That was really big," she says. Wait, is she talking about a gesture from someone else?


The tribes may get a preview of the tapes, compete, and then watch later.
 

CHALLENGE 2: Is there one? (probably not)

As of now, it appears there is only one challenge. However, if there is second challenge, we'll say Shii wins the reward, and Rob wins immunity.

BOOT: Kathy.


   This one's a gimme!

Kathy caused a tremendous amount of trouble last week. As a smart player she will try to stir up even more trouble this week in an effort not to get booted. But as a loose, dangerous cannon, no will align with her, and she will booted quite easily.

She's the only one who voted against the Amber-Rob alliance. She's a former Mogo Mogo, and the other one left, Shii Ann, tried to stay out of trouble.

But Shii won't be a Zoe-like boot this week.

Numerous sources hint at a Kathy boot, and Lex's reaction in post-boot interviews is bleak, discussing the "sheep" that are Boston Rob's followers. That likely means his friend Kathy is next to go.

  
Shii Ann is ignoring her.
Super Mario (errrr Rob) is laughing at her.


PREDICTION: Real estate isn't the biggest money-maker in Survivor.


MARKOPOLO'S APPRENTICE PREDICTION: OK, I don't try and spoil the show, and I haven't seen all the episodes, but Kwame will win because he's got Troy, and Troy rules all! Go Idaho! OK, I heard that one contestant already blew it and said that he won. What crap!
