Whew-HA! This season because of a mind-numbing over-abundance of idiotic twists for reasons of Probst's increasing insanity, we have new rules. Read them, observe them. Should Survivor manage to survive Probst we can always go back to the sane way of doing things. Probst will probably succeed in killing Survivor but we can always hope.

This week, due to various reveals, we know that A Redemption Island is in play, B relatives can trade places with their relatives on Redemption Island, C Hidden Immunity Idols are in play, D one player from each tribe will be voted to Redemption Island "within minutes" of the tribes being formed, and E a third player will be sent to Redemption Island at the end of the episode, with no one actually being eliminated from the game this week. Yep, welcome to the worst season ever, until the next worst season.

The Rules!

1. Do NOT put votes in your subject line!

Put whatever you want (within reason) in the subject line except votes. Each week you will be presented a series of questions on which to vote, they will be numbered, use the numbers to indicate just what you are voting on. Similarly, letter codes have been established for each individual DAW (see above), please use those letter codes. That will be helpful should there be any tallies this season.

2. To change your votes reply to your own vote post.

To add, change, eliminate votes, do not edit your vote post, reply instead, to your own initial vote post. To do otherwise would make it impossible to tally and won't be counted.

3. This is not a discussion thread.

Except when it is. Please keep discussions to a minimum here, take it to another appropriate thread if possible. Have mercy on talliers.

4. No spoiling future episodes!

See advisory at the top of this post.

5. No graphics!

Except siggies. If you do use a graphic other than a siggie it should be pertinent to this week and explained in your post.

6. Have Fun!

You can dance if you want to. Yak it up, speculate and make your observances, that's what it's all about.
