LAST EDITED ON 09-30-05 AT 01:54 PM (EST)Since the spoilers seem to be having so much trouble with this season, I thought we'd better review the things we know are going to happen before we go back to predicting what could happen.
Jeff, who loves to hear the sound of his own voice, will waste at least a minute doing a completely pointless recap.
There will be a four-act structure. Generlly, half the contestants will not appear in the fourth act.
At least two minutes will be used up in shots of local wildlife. This represents the fact that the contestants did nothing during the entire filming period which was interesting enough to fill two minutes.
Jeff will not start the reward challenge unless the tribes really and truly want to know what they're playing for. Plus they have to clap their hands and say they believe in fairies.
Somebody will go home. Or to Sequesterville. Or Loser Lodge. Or Jeff's giant freezer chest.
There's always at least one dissenting vote against the ouster.
Anyone with a lit torch is still in the game. Anyone with a lit body is probably Michael Skupin.
Some aspect of a challenge will try to reflect either the native culture or the history of the region. It will fail dismally. This will not prevent the producers from trying again in future episodes. And again. And again. And again.
All contestants are idiots until proven morons.
Jeff throws away all the player votes while he's supposedly tallying them, then puts in his own pre-forged parchment slips so he can get rid of whoever he feels like dumping. To date, no one has noticed.
The secret goal of every contestant is to get on Celebrity Poker Showdown. They will stop at nothing to achieve this.
At some point, someone will whine about how much weight they've lost. This will always include two pounds that have gone missing from the interior of their skull.
Despite popular demand, the power of mass prayer, and the potential ratings spike, no one will die. This includes Jeff.
Ulong still sucks.
Next?
