Hi, ARW!

Thank you for taking so much time with this. I'm really not going to be a chronic pest. And I really wasn't trying to make a point: honest. It was just that I had deliberately chosen Kelly Shinn as my Favorite Player because I thought that it was possible that none of the five bonus categories would apply to her. So, when (it seemed to me) that they didn't and my questionnaire points weren't doubled, I assumed that I hadn't understood that "Final Bonus" language correctly. And, I'm still not sure that, even with your help, I've managed to do that. But, I don't have to: it's your game, and it's awesome, and I'm really enjoying playing it. So whatever you decide is fine with me.

As for the rain:

There is a fine rain falling throughout the first-segment scene (between commercials one and two) in which Marty reveals his possession of the HII to his tribe. You see it best in the shots of Marty that follow Tyrone's (confessional) assessment of him as "shady" (heard as Tyrone reclines in the shelter) and Jimmy T's "He just kept us strong as a tribe. Thank you, Marty. I mean that." remark. You can also see it in several of the shots of the Idol hanging/swinging from the tree. And you can see it during Jill's confessional following Espada's IC loss as she says (referring to Marty) "... Whatever, you're the puppet master."

And the preview:

As Jeff says "Next time on Survivor ... " the video is a shot of lightning in a dark sky, then a pelican being tossed by angry waves and then, as he says "batten down the hatches, a fierce storm is about to wreak havoc ..." there is a shot of Holly standing against the backdrop of a gray and stormy sky (the inference being that he is speaking of a violent weather event about to strike Espada) before the cut to NaOnka (as he intones, "get ready for Hurricane NaOnka"). But, you're very right: the only time multiple members of a tribe are shown in the preview, they are members of LaFlor. So, I rest your case ...

Note: The vidcaps from the preview are up in the Spoiler Forum.

Thank you again for all of your time and effort,

You know, Exile isn't so bad. I could get used to it ...
