Episode 11 "Sour Grapes"
Last time on Survivor
The dominant alliance of Heidi, Jenna, Alex and Rob seemed to have the game all sewed up and were orchestrating a traditional Pagonging of the Misfits (Butch, Matt, Christie). All was fine and well on Never-Never Land until a boastful Alex opened his mouth, inserted his foot and tipped off Rob to his position in the F4, which was 4th no matter how you took it apart. Rob not happy with his mandated destiny turns tail in one of the most well executed alliance jumps I have seen since the show began to air.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend… Rob’s enemy is now Alex and Matthew is the enemy of Alex. In true Sicilian fashion Rob goes to Matt and makes him an offer he can’t refuse, he spills his guts about underlying plots, alliances and plans. Matt realizes how precarious his position has been and begins scheming to take out the Beautiful People courtesy of Rob. The IC was a spectacular game of Q&A that just so happened to be a game of Rob’s forte; Rob is an astute study in the game and likely could have answered these questions in his sleep. With a tied score and at the final question Matt, as a gesture of trust, throws the IC. Rob wins and in a manner worthy of Benedict Arnold’s praise, creates the TC that sends Alex to the showers.
With their alliance shattered and no man to tell them what to think Heidi and Jenna are left flapping in the breeze.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE
Matthew makes an incredible sacrifice so that others can be given the opportunity of a lifetime. But the newfound respect Matthew enjoys makes Rob rethink his new alliance.
Still stung by Rob's betrayal of the alliance, an enraged Jenna tells the entire tribe about Rob's secret plans, revealing his strategies to everyone. Will Jenna's revelations turn the tribe against Rob?
Feeling ostracized and betrayed, Jenna and Heidi refuse to help out around camp. Will this put the final nails in their coffins?
JSlice aka KittyLoaf strikes again with a phenomenal misdirection thread See BS Misdirection Ep 11: "Sour Grapes". Discussions range from an analysis of the See-BS teasers to speculation that perhaps we see the first ever immunity give away. This is an outstanding post and offers some really intense speculation. Then there is BrownRoach’s Ep. 11 Sour Grapes thread that gives us all the episode titles and an analysis of Aesops Fable of the Famished Fox and how it relates to this game and this episode.
We have another thread posted by geekboy that asks Matt-vs-Jenna Power Shift? Basically this is an analysis of Matt and his game so far. Is he just naïve? Is he brilliant? Is he an alien? Inquiring minds want to know.
Another thread that although it’s been around a while has some incredible information on it is FSUGuy’s JENNA-vs-MATT which you can read here. This is more of an analysis of the now mythic ChillOne spoiler. Great read and paints a very clear picture how we may end up with BoDoggs F2 of Matt and Jenna. More on Jenna can be found here in esquire’s thought provoking thread Does Jenna go on an immunity run?
cowboyroo asks us "Christy being set up as the swing vote in Finals?"
BrownRoach was kind enough to link us to some speculation happening over at SurvivorFever. In his thread BrownRoach points out that Fever seems to be confirming Heidi’s boot for this episode but others challenge the idea Ep 11 Web Promo on Fever.
As always Bungler comes through with some great video caps. Ep 11 (Thu) Preview Vidcaps and Ep.11 (Sat) Preview Vidcaps. I personally want to thank Bungler for all of these vid caps over the season’s, he’s been a hero many times over in the eyes of this spoiler 
. Thanks Bungler!
Now it gets crazy and here is where I need to draw in speculation from other sites in order to make the pieces fit.
SPOILERS
ChillOne – still going strong, his F4 prediction still a very possible and likely outcome as much as it pains me to say so. A lot of people are taking ChillOne's spoiler as gospel, however there have been discrepencies and inaccuracies in the boot order. Personally I'll wait until the F4 before singing ChillOne's praises.
Milkshaky – Milkshaky is a long-time SurvivorSucks spoiler, before the game began Milkshaky posted that Heidi Strobel was indeed a contestant. He went further to say that her boot would take place “around May 1st”. Milkshaky it seems has taken a hiatus and left us questioning whether or not this is really the Heidi-boot episode or not. Note too that our friend Snewser seems to have jumped to Milk’s rescue regarding the hiatus.
Read the whole mess here on Back&White Dog’s “Snewser Says” thread.
Around the Web
TrueDorkTimes – still appears to be holding fast to Heidi getting the boot this week. They have included a blurb regarding Snewser's riddle and mention that perhaps dates were juxtaposed and ROB goes this week. Go here TrueDorkTimes Spoilers
Acme Brain Trust – Slimmyworm has his boot sheet posted Slimmyworm's Boot Sheetfor all who may be interested. A lot of the info here coincides with ChillOne’s spoiler but there are other spoiler sources listed who may offer insight.
Survivornews.net – aka Snewser. Riddle me this Snewser Snewser's Riddle. Considering Snewser’s cryptic message and the spoiling done by our own Bodacious Blue Woman Bebo, it is getting more convoluted as to who will be the beautiful loser this week.
Nothing to post from SurvivorPhoenix and I’m not a member of Paratroopers site.
Reward Challenge
It seems that most sites around the web are highly confident that the RC will be the family visit reward with some type of challenge where the Survivors must unearth oars and canoe to a predestined location. It looks as though the first to arrive wins or something of that nature. Matt is a strong contender to win, he’s just so damn powerful, and given the teaser about his sacrifice it ties in very nicely. There has been speculation that in fact this may not be the RC, but IMHO this is standard Survivor protocol.
Immunity Challenge
Doodle Bug gives us some New IC Info where we see plate smashing challenge remniscent of Africa’s slingshot challenge but not nearly as damning as Thailand’s coconut conspiracy. In typical misdirection format we see ROB’s plate being demolished. 98% of the time when we are shown this stuff it means that person is safe from the boot this week. My guess is Rob sticks around for 3 more days and Butch wins IC. The video caps at TDT point out a very happy Butch at this challenge. Quite frankly, I don’t think this challenge favors the women and given Heidi’s performance in the past…well I’ll just leave it at that.
Boot Pick
Two trains of thought here. If you are going by CO and MilkShaky’s spoiler info then the boot will most likely go to Heidi in Ep.11. I suspect we'll see some Lifetime TV Special in the making, tear-jerker moment where Heidi gives away immunity to save her friend Jenna.
This makes two very big assumptions.
1. Heidi wins IC
2. Heidi has the balls to give it away
At this point in the game that is about the stupidest strategy that one could employ. Considering that we are discussing mental midget Heidi anything is possible.
If you are a member of the “think outside the box” tribe and believe that there are a myriad of other possibilities in the F4 besides what we’ve been handed by ChillOne, you might be inclined to believe that Rob or Jenna gets the boot. Any way it shakes out one of these three will be departing on Thursday night.
Stick a fork in this baby because it's done.
