(I see only red and blue below)

Thanks for pulling these!! From the title of the episode, I expect that the reward in Ep. 4 is chickens (there's also an image of something bulky covered up which could be a series of chicken coops.) With no images of No Collar post RC, could it be that they win the RC and the chickens?

Thanks to Survivor Fever, we now know that there is a switch in episode 5:
Announcer: Wednesday, it's a game changer.

Jeff Probst: Drop your buffs.

Announcer: Three tribes become two.

Sierra <camera confessional>: My old tribe is absolutely dead to me.

I heard Jim Nantz reading the following promo during the NCAA basketball game: "The Blue, White and No Collar tribes turn on each other and then disaster strikes."

I wonder if disaster only means Kelly's injury or is there more?

I'd say that Sierra looks like a very viable candidate for the episode 5 vote.

we now know for sure Shirin, Joaquin and Tyler make it through EP4TC. (As well as Joe, Lindsey, Sierra and Rodney)

I see a blindside in the near future.

Where are you seeing that Lindsey is safe for Episode 5?

Maybe Tribe saw something else but I think a single strand of hair was sufficient. Look at the bottom left corner and that has to be Lindsey's hair:

Kelly also has blonde hair and also has times where the hair is loose or is knotted up. One strand of hair isn't conclusive enough to tell me which of these two it is.

ETA: Looking at this pic, there aren't any loose strands. There are in other pics though, just as is the case for Kelly.

If that picture is of Sierra standing with her tribe, and it appears that they are (Rod to her left), that blonde to the right has to be Lindsey.

Kelly's on the right of Sierra here and Rodney's to the left:

And in front here:

Kelly's more at Sierra's shoulder level while Lindsey is shorter and blonder. These images just goes to show that they move around on the mat at each challenge and we haven't seen any other Episode 5 caps as far as I know to determine who's standing with whom.

Not saying it couldn't be Lindsey in the earlier photo but it's inconclusive to me and I was just asking Tribe what made him certain Lindsey was safe, whether it was the hair strand or some other evidence he saw elsewhere that told him she was safe. I'd want to be more certain before making such a proclamation that Lindsey is safe in my SOTS coming up tomorrow.

It was solely the strand of hair. No other evidence that I recall. I would wager money that it is Lindsey and not Kelly but...
all it was speculating was that these folks all make it to Ep5. Not that they make it through Ep5. And moreso to show that the two folks most talked about for bootation (Joaquin and Shirin) are both there for the swap.
In other words, even though I believe it to be Lindsey's hair, I truly believe all of the Escameca will be accounted for by the time of the swap.

I'm of the mindset that BlueCollar doesn't visit TC until Ep5, AFTER the switch, where "some" of them go to TC for the first time. Hence the title..."We're Finally Playing Some Survivor"

Ultimately this means that either Nagarote or Masaya go to TC in Ep4. I am also of the mindset that it is Masaya that goes to TC. (But if Nagarote does, Will is a goner.) For Masaya we can see that Shirin, Joaquin and Tyler are there for the switch in Ep5. Which, to me, means that either Max or Carolyn is our Ep4 Bootee.

Also of note is that while production has an EP5 RC set up, with 3 tribes, it will MOST likely NOT be used, in order to surprise and swap the castaways.

I agree with all of this, Tribe, except the part about Masaya going to TC. If they were to eliminate someone, it almost has to be either Shirin or Joaquin so, since those two are safe, Ockham's razor suggests the tribe avoids TC. Will is a goner!

They reminded us of Carolyn's HII last episode. I think its a possibility that she gets blindsided or someone (maybe Max) goes off the bounce.

ETA: Enough time was spent on the entire tribe, except for Carolyn, looking for the idol that it could be a story line for episode 4. I think they figure out that the idol is gone and that Carolyn may have it (with or without Tyler's admission) and they could try to flush the idol.

That could certainly happen but the promos haven't mentioned anything about a shocking TC. If anything, the choice of putting episodes 4 and 5 together is a sign that one of them is boring. They can't wait to get to episode 5 and the swap or else Jiffy's claim that this season is great will fall flat.

ETA: A sign that episode 4 is boring: The most we heard from it is Jeff's call for medical when it looks like it will require nothing more than a band-aid on Kelly's head.

You're probably right but to explain myself, I guess I drank Jeff's kool aid.

I thought I had posted the Dalton-Jeff tease for this week (I just did). Jeff hypes episode 4 as the best of the season so I immediately jumped to what would make Jeff so excited - blindside - HII (especially if Max gets taken down). May be wishful thinking of my part. We need to see what the web promo shows. The boot story usually comes from it.

I had a Max boot in my sights and then I let it go. Darn!

Hmm. The reason why I was asking for clarification is that I was hemming and hawing between Shirin and ... yes, Lindsey, as my two boot choices before the swap promo came out.

It's only two boots so far, but I'm keeping an eye out to see if there's a pattern that whoever is shown in the midst of a conflict or been much talked about becomes the next episode's boot - that happened with Vince and Nina, so the next ones that would jump out at me are Shirin (monkey sex and the tribe's disgust with her), Mike (everyone hates his nagging), Rodney (laziness and throwing logs around) and Lindsey (going to war with Mike and Rodney). Rodney and Mike appears to have some real legs in the game and we clearly see Shirin reacting to the swap announcement, so that leaves Lindsey as my favourite for the next boot. I can't project for episode 5 yet because we haven't seen episode 4, so I'll be watching for weekend promos for new stuff that might show someone with a target sign.

I agree that if the Nagarotes go to TC, Will is unquestionably gone.

I just need the theory to be disproven and then I'll just go merrily on my way! Until then ... *makes pitbull sounds*

For the challenges they have so far always lined up in height order:

1. Lindsey
   
2. Kelly
   
3. Rodney

4. Dan
   
5. Sierra
   
6. Mike

That puts Kelly and Sierra always in the middle.

Here is the lineup for the first IC with Sierra between Kelly and Rodney just like in the promo for Ep5.

The only time I remember the order being different was when the tribe first stood on their mats in Episode 1

Possibly Lindsey's hair but seems much more likely to be Kelly's hair.

Kona pointed something out that could be interesting...

Could Sierra be holding a new buff in her hands with it partially blurred to hide the colour?

And could the V-shaped tree behind Sierra be the same one as the one behind Will in this cap here?

I think you are absolutely correct.

I should be watched....closely.
