The Rules
1. Put the name of your choice for this week's boot (and elim) in the subject heading.
This is easy, just erase the bit where it says "Re: SurvivorBlowsTribe, Time to Vote..." and replace with your vote, e.g., "elim-Aras boot-Vytas." You have two things to vote on, who loses the duel at RI and is eliminated (elim), and who is voted out at TC (boot).
Well, except this week we know there are two boots, we don't know if there will be a duel elim, chances are probably not. Have I told you ever how much I think of this Redemption Island nonsense?
Letter codes have been provided for each player, please use them -- or not, the way things are going they may not matter until the finale. This makes it easier to tally votes quickly and accurately. Nicknames are tougher to tally unless they are really obvious without actually reading your post.
Other things you want to vote on (who has first confessional, who wins reward, who wins immunity, do HIIs get found, do HIIs get played, will Tina rattle the newbies at TC), these should go in your post not in your subject line.
2. Reply only to this post.
We like a nice straight vote thread. It's easier that way.
EXCEPTION TO RULE 2! VOTE CHANGES!2b. But to change your vote do reply to your own vote post.
Your new post heading should read, for example, "VOTE CHANGE: elim-Aras boot-Tina."
3. This is not a discussion thread do not treat it as such.
Make your case as much as you want, but there are plenty of places on the forum to debate the merits of people's arguments, have discussions, have civil and polite disagreements: this is a vote thread.
But please feel free to discuss your vote(s) in your own post, cast all the extra votes you want, make jokes, we're really all most interested in what you have to say.
4. No graphics.
Unless you insist. If you do include a graphic please make it pertinent to something in this episode. Siggies allowed.
5. Have fun!

The clues:
1. "My Brother’s Keeper" The title, My Brother's Keeper, obviously comes from either Aras or Vytas...as the name of the episode, Vytas will most likely be the story, imo.
2. It’s double the drama as castaways endure two tribal councils in one episode.
So, a double boot episode, means 2 immunity challenges, 2 tribal councils, and 2 DAWs going off to join Aras at RI.
3. Castaways wonder if Vytas will exact revenge for his brother’s blindside
This is the question of the hour/episode. Seems to me they may want to nip this problem in the bud ASAP.
4. One castaway attempts to change history in a challenge that’s tough to swallow
Vidcaps confirmed what we already suspected. This is about Gervase who was down right comical in Borneo with the gross food. This season the vidcaps confirm that he'll make a higher level round.
Vidcaps confirmation:
*Tina is exacting her fury onto Tyson, Tyson is defensive. She recognizes that she is now in the minority and expects to be voted out soon.
*Vytas is still the man of the hour, vidcaps confirm that he most likley doesn't have the IN for the first challenge/TC.
*Vidcaps confirm that either Hayden or Caleb will win the IN for the first challenge, the gross food. I bet Hayden as Caleb seems to take a slower approach to the food...
*Tina is still around after the first TC, so she is not the boot at the first TC.
