Okay I will stop now and go no further just to add I know this show all too well and my 3yr old needs to watch something else LOL

Tammy will win immunity again, and Robert being a member of the old Rotu 4 might come into play, he still isn't a immunity threat, so I am going with Sean b/c Kathy is still a old member of the old Rotu, and that will help her out

Happy posting

Don't ask me why. I would be embarrassed to tell you.
Anyways if the jurys out, then the Judge must join them.
Hope I am wrong.

"I know I don't know you, and you're probably not what you seem, but I sure would like to find out so why don't you climb down of that TV screen"

Kathy Obrien, the Sole Survivor!

Princess Tammy wins a trip on a big ol' boat and takes her big ol' friend Robert along for the ride, but doesn't bring any big ol' food back for her big ol' gang of castaways. She also wins the immunity challenge makin' her the big ol' boy the next target. And Jeff Varner picked Peter, Patricia, and Hunter as the first three to go....Zoe, Robert and Kathy as the next three...so he missed a few in the middle.....Zoe said "she's not telling if she's one of John's tattoo buddies", and Robert definitely isn't against tattoos, so the three of them tattoo themselves silly at loser island...

the streak is over, hunny. Time for you to take that walk of shame.

BUD SELIG SUCKS!!!! SAVE THE TWINS!!!

...it's time for you to go.

Tammy wins the IC, yet again;

Robert contimues to sulk and act like an immature jerk, and the

SuperMu 5, don't want him to burn all the firewood.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Neleh: Oh my heck!

Act Now: Keep HOPE Alive !!!

Eleanor Roosevelt: No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Okay, I'll go with the Tammy IC run speculators, though it's contrary to my PTTE guess.

Only because I do think Tammy will continue her Immunity run. If not, she'll be booted instead of Robert.

I don't have enough information as yet about the IC but if it's the diving underwater competition, then I see Neleh or Kathy winning it, and Tammy's IC run comes to an end.

Alternate: If Tammy wins IC, then Grumpy Robert goes.

GO HABS!
"I'm the General and that's that."
Robert DeCanio, April 11/02

I haven't been reading much on here this week, so I'm going mostly off of logic (fatal mistake in this game).

I believe Tammy will have a huge immunity run (Coincidence that her exclusive video on the CBS site says that's her strategy? I think not.) She knows her head is still on the block.

I think Tammy & Rob go to dine on the cruise ship for the RC.

That gives the others time to be even more pissed at the two. Tammy wins immunity and Grumpy Gus is the next choice.

I'm guessing it's between Tammy and Robert. Tammy wins immunity again so Robert goes.

I just think her number is up.

Cin

her streak will end this week.

K/N/P/S/V talk it over, and settle on a new strategy: four of them ignore the stated goal of the IC, and instead concentrate on tripping/sitting on/drowning Tammy while the Fifth becomes the winner of Immunity by default. Then they all boot SuperWoman.

Hey, I can dream, can't I?

Buh bye

I think Tammy is going to be Colby at least a couple more weeks. Robert gloats on what he eats and continues to be a pouty baby.

alt ~~ Tammy ~~ She may slip and another memeber may get IC, if so BYE BYE

General, dont forget to take your woodpile!

She's a good player in challenges, but I don't think she can keep up this streak. Kelly and Colby didn't last from ep9 on. Tammy is good, but the streak has to end sometime. Plus she has too much resentment from other tribemates. Zoe only got booted because she was next on the totem pole after Tammy.

However... I do feel obliged to take Robert as my alternate pick. Moomoo will stay together. Definitely one of the two.

Man, I hate to see him go, but I'm actually putting weight on the "scheduler" spoiler.

Judges do have a lot of authority, and one of those is in scheduling, which is probably what allowed him the time to take off to do Survivor to begin with. Now, judges have quite a case load also, plus their schedule is important to not just them but all the parties involved. All that to say that I don't think he's going to change his schedule unless absolutely necessary.

He's either going this week, or he is safe for at least 2 weeks and makes F5. He deserves to stay, but he and Neleh are too big of a threat as a team. You can't beat them in F2, so they are a bigger threat than Tammy.

I have officially changed my mind.

"Eliminating the competition." - Rudy Boesch

The R4 are experiencing a reverse Pagonging.

Alternate pick: Paschal

- Dark Lotus
"My balls... my balls... my balls..." - Sean Rector

Edited to include alternate pick after the new spoiler about Paschal's schedule was posted.

I wish I had more to go on. It looks like the only challenge we have seen is the RC. It's possible that I am wrongly assuming that, but it seems to fit with the pic of the ship in the background.

After last episode's tantrum, I say send him back to Joisey as the big loser he is!

Bye Bye....

I just don't see her winning Immunity again.

Robert DeCanio, April 11/02

Can he fix it?

Erm, No.

Just going with my women's intuition....or gut.

There is no chance in hell in him winnin immunity..and Tammy is prob gonna win..she is the next Colby..

Alternate: Paschal..bc of that crazy schedule spoiler

n/m

Tammy loses the IC and she's history!!

(Surely those idiots learned something from last week when they let Tammy drag the stilts off by herself and practice alone...DUH!)

Dalton
PS. Great Summary anotherkim

or Robert, or Paschal, or Kathy
Oh - definitely Sean - gotta remember my stratgey - name him so he can stay!

Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar....

Tammy wins Immunity, (even though that isnt the way i voted on the IC poll) and the General goes.

Going by what I did last week:
Tammy hopefully will be safe just because I'm rooting for her.
(and hopefully she'll win IC)

Last week I picked Zoe because anyone who opposes Tammy has to go!!! and hey.. Zoe surprisingly did leave!
So this week..who seems to be the biggest obstacle towards Tammy.. um.. it's Neleh or Pascal.. Sorry...
I think Neleh is a much bigger threat than Pascal.. so I'm choosing Neleh.

For no damn reason whatsoever!

-Robert, Alt. Pick-

I've been off on vacation and haven't voted the last couple weeks. So at least I wasn't wrong for a couple weeks. Now I will try and figure it out. I think Tammy is the one with the bullseye on her back. And I don't think she can keep her IC run going. With a choice between Tammy and Robert I think they will pick off Tammy. They could have voted off Robert last week and preferred to pick Zoe. So I don't think they feel he is a threat. Without Tammy he will be even less threatening. Plus I believe they all feel Robert is less likely to get an alliance of his own going. Where Tammy would keep trying to turn the others against each other.

Okay, I think TAMMY is probably the most likely, really. After all, Robert has not had enough face time. Quite frankly, it could be Sean, but after becoming the newest member of the SeanLoveTribe, I'm content to live in denial about that. No way is it Paschal or Neleh. Kathy IS a gloater, but I think she was UTR enough in last episode to make us forget about her for a while (= final four candidate?).

I make this vote for Vee solely on the reason that I am suspicious that there are NO Immunity Challenge clips. What is the challenge? If it was storytime (usually when 7 are left; see: Rodger and Frank boots), CBS would surely have hyped it. Fallen comrades is not until the final 4 (or 5). What if the boot is a volunteer "send me home" boot? That could only be Vee.

Going with the underdog here.

Desperate or not, I'm afraid her IC run is over.

GT

Always be sincere, even when you don't mean it.

Or maybe Tammy. No, Robert. No, Tammy. GAH!!!

It seems pretty clear it will be one of these two, but which one, I don't know. Part of me thinks it can't be Robert because he still has not gotten enough of a story, even a really lame one, to be booted yet. The best thing I can come up with is that his story will simply be that he went from a silent member of the alliance in power to a whiny, poor sport once the coup happened. If he doesn't do anything, though, there isn't much of story to tell. Tammy clearly has had more going on in the storyline department, but I have this nagging feeling that hers is still not done yet.

So I am reluctantly picking Robert to be booted. I'll probably change my mind fifty times before the show airs, but I don't think I'll be able to post tomorrow, so Robert it is.

Because John is still my favorite, and I want him to have someone better to hang out with than Zoe.

Birthday girl does get a surprise! a boot to the head!
Early on, when asked if she would do it again (i.e., Survivor)Vee was quoted as saying that she wouldn't and was a bit bitter about it. Maybe someone can look up her exact words. Most if not all previous contestants (excluding Stacey) said they'd do it again.
Maybe being botted on her birthday gave her a bad taste.

Alternate 1: Robert
Alternate 2: Neleh

Hey Supe doll!! Care to split a Crabby Patty????

Oh! And BTW! Nice Bikini Bottoms, Dave!

even Robert's not safe.

I am also buying the schedule spoiler for now. plus I think KSVTR may be teamed up now, as I don't think the Zoe vote makes much sense otherwise. I don't have anything else to go on this week, so that'll have top be my guess

although I'd much rather Neleh or Tammy get the boot
so they're my alternate picks: Tammy if the pagonging continues, and Neleh if she doesn't get immunity

Due to the lack of IC info, I'm going to blindly assume that Tammy does not win.

alt: Robert.

Damn good summaries, IceCat and anotherkim!

Please god

I'm in the minority again, but it worked for me last week when I said Zoe would go. With Tammy and Rob helplessly alienated from Neleh and Pappy, T/R are hung out to dry by N/P for disposal at a later time. The more immediately perceived threat is Sean. Time to take away Sister Vee's touchstone so that we might be dealing with a tribe of 3 alliances, each consisting of 2 survivors. That might turn out to be a very interesting game if that scenario can be arranged.

She won't win immunity again.

I just keep thinking that the vidclips would be more tantalizing if something REALLY exciting was going to take place tonight.....so I am sticking with the obvious.
Alt: Robert (if Tammy does turn into the immunity ho)

Tammy wins immunity.

I think she walks. See my "Princess Theory."

This is post #52 incorporating 48 votes. And where the heck are the Blue Men with their votes???? Usually at least one has shown their face by now.

Tammy: 21
Robert: 18
Pascal: 3
Vee: 3
Sean: 2
Neleh: 1

UTR: Kathy (that's odd)

We haven't got much to go on this week. The focus has been on the RC, so I think the obvious happens during the IC and Tammy does NOT win. bye bye Tammy!

If you lose that IC, you're gone.

Will an attractive woman under the age of 40 ever win Survivor?

Can't let her slide UTR, after all.

She won't win IC but if she does Robert.

__________________________________________
And your whiney butt opinion would be?

Is it cheating to hedge my bets by picking Tammy to win IC (and keep the IN) AND to get the boot? If so, too bad. Just try to stop me. It's a clen sweep. Tammy for RC, IC and Boot.

I WILL be right about ONE of them.

Just because there was nothing "dramatic" promo'd by CBS, doesn't mean that something dramatic won't happen. The Kelly booting in S3 wasn't hyped much at all. (Except for the Lex promos which everyone took to mean Teresa was going) The competition against Survivor on tonight's lineup is pretty lame.

That said, I think Tammy wins immunity (esp. if it's a story challenge) and Robert gets the boot.

With the utter lack of spoilers this week, I think the vote is going to be on the predictable side, and either Tammy or Robert will go this week. I'm going with Robert, because he was being shown as a whiner last week, and also, my gut (yeah we all know how much that's worth!) tells me that Tammy's IC streak isn't over. If Tammy doesn't get IC, though, she's a goner.

I don't think she'll win immunity this week, and she's the logical choice.

I think her immunity run will be finished tonight, and if they don't pick her off now, they may not be able to again.

Considering how bad I've been doing lately you all can rest assured that Robert isn't going tonight.

Since there haven't been any powerful adjectives to suggest a surprise in the voting, it's time for a plain old pagonging. John told us his boot was the beginning of their demise, which continues this week with the outster of one of the two remaining from the Rotu 4. Tammy is my alternate pick, should she not win IC. The only reason I picked Robert over Tammy is because I think she will.

I picked between the two based on the questions: How long can you hold your breath? That tells me this will not be the week that Tammy loses. So it's bye-bye General. Don't burn all the wood on your way out.

I am basing this on Bungler's vidcaps. We see Robert and Sean and Tammy walking together, then Vee and then Pappy and Neleh. I think it was S2 winner Tina who said to pay attention to who walks together and sits together.

No real spoiler info to go on this week. Not every week can be unpredictable. If Tammy does not win immunity she is going. Just like Nick in S2, Tammy is able to compete in all of the challenges but she can't win them all. Predictability and Pagonging must set in at least temporarily. I see nothing to indicate Tammy wins IC, so I'll rate it a 6 in 7 chance she doesn't. With those odds, Tammy gets my vote.

Thanks anotherkim and IceCat. What would we do without your wit?

Call me stubborn, but even with no info to go on, I still think Tammy Fae wins IC and saves herself one more week, this way, the General and Johnny Baby can now start planning what tattoo they are getting.

Tammy Fae also wins RC and takes Robert, and they rest of the tribe start planning how to destroy evil Tammy Fae.

Ayak, I still can't believe you wrote such an amazing summary of the re-crap and AnotherKim yours was a hoot and a half. Congratulations to both.

The five friends have been licking their chops for this to happen. She's been winning imunity and saving herself. Not tonight. She soooo gone.
Alternate pick, Sarge

The string has to end somewhere, she's alienated herself through her actions, and, with NO CLUE about the IC, I think MB is hiding something (mental challenge, maybe??)

The possibility of anyone other than Tammy or Robert getting the boot is so unlikely at this point, I never even considered it.

It must be obvious to everyone that Tammy is the biggest challenge threat in the tribe. We've seen individuals go on immunity runs in previous versions so it is possible Tammy's desparation will drive her to victory once again. I'm betting against it resulting in her departure at this week's TC.

We've seen more of Tammy than Robert so I think she goes this week and Robert will go the next.

Let the Pagonging begin...

We've got enough wood now, you can go.

Because it's time for an obvious boot. Also my neighbor with the name Tammy just moved out of her apartment today. I think that's a sign from God.

--Pappy's getting a little happy

I am not a believe that she will go on any sort of immunity run. And the way that I see it, that is her only chance to stick around at this point. So I believe that Tammy is gone this week, and unless things change drastically the General is gone next week.

Here's our typical episode formula:

Subplot 1:
A:"I really have a craving for ______. I sure miss _____. If only we could have some _________."

Jeff Probst: "Today's reward is ________. Good luck"

Option 1: A: "Yay I won, and everyone is happy for me."
Option 2: A: "Aww... I lost, and I'm pissed that so-and-so won.

Episode 10: Vee wants a special b-day present. We know from previews that people are jealous of whoever wins, so Vee must not win (or be taken by the winner). This eliminates Vee, Sean and probably Kathy as possible RC picks, because in all three situations, Vee would get cruise ship reward. Either the P/N or the R/T combination must go on the ship.

Subplot 2:
B: "Even though I'm in an alliance and everyone with a brain knows I'm safe at tribal council, I suddenly think I might be voted out unless I win immunity."

C: "B has been pissing me off with some little thing that doesn't matter. I think I might vote for B, although that would be the single dumbest thing I could do at this point."

Jeff Probst: "B wins immunity, and is safe tonight"

Episode 10: We know that Kathy is suddenly gonna go on a shark hunt. I suspect that it will remind a lot of people of her earlier fire/shellfish tirades. They will imply that she might be voted off (even though we know it's not really an issue at all), and then she will win immunity.

Subplot 3:
D: "I was the obvious target last week. But E did something really bad, and now I think I might be able to turn the tides and get back in this game."

E: "I didn't think it was a big deal, but suddenly everyone's upset at me... Why do they hate me?"

F: "I'm voting for E tonight."

Jeff Probst: "D... you have been voted out of the tribe. Everyone saw it coming until we cleverly tricked our audience by broadcasting that E was in danger. By next week, everyone will have forgotten about E."

Episode 10: First and foremost... the previews say nothing about the clear and present danger that Robert and Tammy are facing. Tammy is gone, unless she wins immunity, in which case Robert is gone. Since the previews have left this out, we must assume that the boot will be the obvious one (otherwise, they'd be cramming a T/R boot down our throats with the previews).

Since they give us two scenarios that present possible alternate boots, we know that the typical editing applies. One of the possible alternate boots will win immunity. In this case, that person is Kathy.

The other possible alternate boot (the RC winners) is a red herring. Since I'm predicting the obvious boot, this must mean that P/N wins the reward (and Paschal wins it-- see my thoughts on the SOTS thread and on the RC vote thread).

Okay... so P/N are the red herrings (their bond is too close... Pappy's won two in a row... blah blah blah), and Tammy does NOT win immunity (otherwise the preview would ask if Tammy could save herself from doom for a third week in a row).

We know that of T/R, Tammy is the stronger threat, both physically and strategically. Thus, Tammy, the obvious boot, will be voted out of the game.

Summary:
RC - Paschal takes Neleh (alternate: Neleh takes Paschal)
IC - Kathy (alternate Neleh, second alternate Paschal)
BOOT - Tammy (alternate Robert)

Next week, look for cracks in the alliance to start to form, as Robert tries to re-ally with P/N, and the RC winners from this week suddenly find bright red targets painted on thier backs... as we continue to correctly predict the "most unpredictable season ever".

She is dangerous and must go. If she wins the ugly necklace then it'll be General. I think the reasoning is clear.

Longlive Sponge Bob

I'm leaning toward the editing of last episode for my vote:

Robert "leaving" the discussion with T/N/P and chopping the wood for his "final days".

Tammy edited to be the hard working underdog at stilt walking for immunity. I think this bodes well for her to win at least one more. MB loves hardworkers and underdogs and the editing could be setting us up for an immunity run or redemption before being voted out. I think it's the run.

It is just not logical for Paschal to go this week. Also, I have been trying to call the courthouse and find out if the Judge is in today and have gotten voice mail after voice mail. I am bummed.

Tammy seems the most logical boot at this point.

ROBERT

Edited to remove my resoning and kick myself for forgetting to change the subject line. Sorry! I'm an idiot!!! (And why can't you change the subject of your message?!?!?!)

Neleh said they voted off Zoe because she was an immunity threat. So it stands to reason that if Tammy is not immune, she will be next!

bebe

Her string of IC victories has to come to an end sometime, and my guess is it happens here. She is a big threat and no one likes her anymore (except maybe Robert).

Everything sleeve said sounds so true, and I was about to post Tammy when I remembered a rumor about her fiance in Tahiti. This same sort of rumor has worked well with Sean, when everyone kept saying he was out and I figured he was safe, so I am going to say Robert.

reasoning is obvious, plus I'm in the middle of packing/moving so I really don't have time to get into it.

I think that the reason we haven't seen any good boot spoilers is the fact that it is obviously going to be Tammy. She is too tough NOT to vote out if the tribes are given a chance. Her only possiblity of a reprieve is if she wins the RC, takes S/V and convinces them to change sides. I think she DOES win the RC, takes Vee (see pics in my Tammy takes Vee thresd), but it ends up not being enough - though MB wants us to think that it is a possibility right up until the vote.

Good-bye Tammy. Thanks for your memorable analysis of Zoe's personality flaws!

No, not Kathy. In fact, if MB's little allegories mean anything, Kathy the "shark" will win Immunity. Kathy *is* my alternate, however.

We haven't seen any clues as to IC. Therefore, it must be something non-physical that someone besides Tammy could possibly win. And I think someone else will.

That means, of course, that Tammy will be waxed at the first available opportunity.

Also, for reasons similar to sleeeve picking Paschal, but because of the resentment factor, I pick TAMMY to win the Reward Challenge... and I believe her fiance will visit her. This will take care of the spoiler that her fiance visits, it will take care of the spoiler that Sean's family was "on-call", and it will generate the resentment.

Edited to add: IceCat and anotherkim, come on in to Summary Lodge. Plenty of catnip and drinks, and the parties are getting better since I hired Evil Bert as Activites Coordinator! Hope you don't mind being under the watchful eye of a hawk...

Anotherkim, thanks for doing the summary! Haven't had time to read it but I hear it's great!

Edited to add thanks to Icecat too! Sorry, way behind in my reading...

I've been gone this week, so will have to base this week on what Sleeeve wrote, what I've read in this thread and throw in a little basic logic...

Last week was "the most unpredictable ever???", so this week will unfold exactly as we expect. Robert and Tammy are still the outcasts. Last week Robert was edited as the more villanous of the two (misdirection). Tammy does not win immunity again. Tammy gets voted off...
