LAST EDITED ON 03-28-07 AT 12:31 PM (EST)
Rockhead.
Rock on!
Survivor 14, Episode 7; " An Evil Thought" Title per the Roach (Brown, that is)
An Evil Thought? Yauman seems to be devilishly pensive here.
Welcome - (Psst - if you just want the answers, skip the gab and go to the end)
To Survivor 14, the State of the Spoiling (SOTS) for Episode 7 at RTVW (the only place outside Nevada and Tijuana where to be called a whore is really quite cool).
With SOTS we try and figure out who will be kicked off, who will win the immunity challenge, and who will win the reward challenge. We also try our hand at guessing who will be sent to exile island, if the hidden immunity idol will be found, and if so by whom. Might even take a stab at what kind of challenges the EPMB and his junior P in training, JP, devise for the surviving survivors on Survivor.
We use the information freely available and anything we can steal. Including Viccaps(formerly VidCaps) provided from Survivor Fever by the dependable and insightful FlowerPower (FloPo), the survivor quotes and clues from CBS and brought over by smokedog, (who, BTW is looked upon with great suspicion by Kircon, the owner of an as yet un-smoked puppy, Bruno), the Insider Quotes brought to us this week by michel, and just about anything else we can lay our hands, fins, claws and tentacles on.
We also blab on and on and on and on about nothing in particular...........Blah blah blah blah blah blah.
We use the editing clues from Veruca Salt's (VS) thread. She scrutinizes EPMB's Survivor editing. She won't be reading this SOTS because she insulates herself from the opinions and spoilerings of others so that her conclusions are pure and uninfluenced. Yet somehow she and her helpers manage to nail the long term trends each Survivor season. Frequent contributors include michel, emydi (Emsie, Mistress Emydom), FloPo, OutFrontGirl (OFG). Really, too many to list. VS communicates to those outside her thread thru Emydi.
The collective intelligence in this Spoilers Forum sifts and sorts this data and comes up with opinions as to who's gonna do whut to who, and why, and how. These detectives include so many, but BrownRoach (BR), Snidget, and KOBrien Fan (KO) and well as the previously mentioned peeples all work hard, and selflessly share their opinions. Estee maintains discipline, Scarlet O Hara provides links to the other Survivor boards. These results are definitely a community product. Lurkers contribute by just being there.
To ketchup on last week's events, you should check out the summary of last week's episode by Kircon, "Official RTVW Survivor Fiji Summary, Episode 6: I'll Train My Puppy If You Train Rocky".
Last week's SOTS, was prepared by WallFlower (Babs, Babuska), and the previous week's SOTS was prepared by Emsie. Advice to future SOTS writers, those are great SOTS models to follow.
OK folks, the State of the Spoiling in this week 7 of Survivor Fiji is, well Spoiled. Spoiled like leftover scrod. Like that thing that fell behind the refrigerator and you found it only when the smell became too bad to ignore? That's how spoiled this episode is. RTVW Spoilers is one place where people go who like spoiled scrod, so here we go....
Clues
VolcanicGlass (VG) at Survivor Pheonix seems to have access to the best and most dependable inside spoiler information this year, and they gave us a clue as to the identity of the dead weight this week. And the fact that this week's bootee will be the first jury member.
In the Insider Quotes provided by michel, one can easily see that that Rocky isn't quite on the same page as his NuRavu teammates, and this is never good. You will learn that Anthony was booted last week because he was a girly man according to the cerebral Rocky. (Don't ask him to define that, he is big word challenged).
The CBS Web Site Insider Clues brought over by smokedog are;
One Survivor walks on dangerous ground, taunting nauseous tribemates who overindulged at the Reward.
If the taunter is really walking dangerous ground, it's probably Rocky. He is not held in high esteem by his tribemates (see insider comments above), and this could be another nail in his torch snuffer. A good argument can be made for this being Boo too, he had a comment last week that fits here.
One Survivor has an evil thought and hatches a plan to gain an advantage on the other tribemates.
This maybe where the title comes from. 'Evil Thoughts', Another title quote by Yauman? Do the evil thoughts concern his promise with Earl? Or could they be about setting up someone on NuMoto for a surprise fall? (I like old Yauman! Whatta guy!)
After a meltdown and a night at Exile Island, one Survivor must prove to their tribe that they're ready to play the game. Can this Survivor turn the tables and win over their tribemates or will this be the end of their time in Fiji?
This is obviously a reference to Lisi, and a little misdirection by the EPMB. And some doubtful pronoun usage I believe.
Viccaps were invented then brought over by the Princess of the clips, FloPO
from Survivor Fever, who only THOUGHT they were Vidcaps: We prefer Ms Flowers' terminology. Because we prefer Ms Flower.
Who is booted?
According to Volcanic Glass at Survivor Phoenix, James is the first Juror, and since the deportee this week is supposed to be the first Juror, James goes this week.
His departure is also a very logical assumption apart from the spoiler, considering his outburst last week and his general demeanor around camp. The Insider Comments indicate that Rocky isn't on the same page with his tribe mate, and that usually proves fatal.
Good riddance to arrogant rubbish. But, as aggravating as he is, he will be missed because he does make the show interesting.
Who wins Immunity
These clips show that one of the challenges is the old blindfolded stumble, presumably where one survivor is guided by his teammates to a goal. Then he gets to swing (still blindfolded) at human skull piñatas (this is not for children, folks). The successful piñata head hitter causes a teammate to fall off of or thru a platform.







At least that's how I see it. Regardless of the details, it seems that Michelle falls first, so presumably they are happy and they win. This would be a NuMoto win, so it would be for Immunity.
Who is Exiled?

As pointed out by emydi, This certainly looks like Yauman is being welcomed back after exile. There is a chance that it could be his returning to the mat after winning a challenge, but the concensus is that it is after his exile.
So.........
Who wins the Reward Challenge?
If Yauman is exiled, this would lead to the inescapable, astounding, and mind warping conclusion that NuRavu finally wins something. They win reward and exile Yauman.
From the Viccaps, it seems to involve a race.

Just for the record, TrueDorkTimes thinks that the reward challenge consists some sort of of flaming ball throwing. OK. The important thing is that NuRavu wins, the spoiler world faints, and Yauman is picked for exile.
Does Someone find the Hidden Imunity Idol? And just who would that be?
Yauman has the digging tools now, he has all the clues, and he seems pretty sly. So it is very reasonable to assume that he finds one of the hidden immunity idols.
So, with the title of this episode 'An Evil Thought' in mind, did he then begin harboring thought of dirty deeds, done dirt cheap?



Oh yeah, there is also a Viccap of him wearing something, presumably the HI.

I guess my question here would be why would he be wearing it if he wants to keep having it a secret?
But I always have questions. Sigh.
Next question: Does anyone else find a HI? No clues here, but apparently not.
In summary, and at long last:
Reward Challenge - NuRavu
Immunity Challenge - Nu Moto
Exiled - Yauman
Hidden idol - found by YaumanWalking that ole country road outta there - Rockhead.
Rock on!!
There are lots of games to play, go play them. Complain away in Bashers, and gush away in Fanatics. Lurkers are encourage to enter the fray, but if you just want to lurk, that's fine too.
