Episode Three
"Family Values"
“He said he said, she said she said”
FloydBand – They Pelted Us With Rocks and GarbageFor an episode that has gotten much media attention we have been given woefully little in the way of spoiler material. It sucks, but alas SB shall prevail and live to spoil EPMB’s little island tea party.
CBS provided us some tantalizing tidbits for episode 3 but nothing of real substance:
ON THE NEXT SURVIVOR
An incident between a man and a woman becomes explosive, as tribe members react differently to facts and rumors.
One tribe wins the help of two Red Berets--the equivalent of our Green Berets--who show the tribe how to make the best of everything around their camp, possibly gaining an advantage as better survivalists.
At a Challenge, tensions escalate, prompting a fierce confrontation between the two tribes.
Let's begin by discussing “The Incident” which has been one of the hottest topics of speculation thus far.
http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/cgi-bin/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=3035&forum=DCForumID2
The above thread titled “He Said, She Said” brings up some interesting speculation as who is the actual harrasser. Webby points out that in all of the video caps Ted seems to be ignoring Ghandia's advances and the picture back it. Pictures don’t lie; you can clearly see Ghandia’s hand on Ted’s inner thigh. Corcam states that Ghandia may be using the sexual harrassment ploy to draw attention away from herself as a boot candidate after being the center of another Chuay Ghahn loss. Conversely, Spidey points out in this same thread that Ghandia was clearly the aggressor and speculates that Ted may go really far in the game and his image must be preserved.
If I were some clown lawyer **cough, cough Shakes, cough, cough** I would jump all over this sexual harrassment incident and sue MB and See B.S. for creating a hostile work environment...just a thought.
In line with the “He said, She said” post we have 2 hot topics regarding everyone’s favorite DAW, Ghandia (can’t this girl get enough?). From what I glean, sometime in August Ghandia posing as Gdiva went on a posting spree over at SS. Oddly, all her posts were deleted shortly thereafter. JeffGator was kind enough to post all the threads that were written by the mysterious GDiva and open up the doors of speculation as to whether or not this is really the “real Ghandia”. Veruca Salt points out that other past Survivors frequent the boards and believes that GDiva is the real deal. Check this out for the whole story:

And like any good DAW our Ghandia has a story in the National Enquirer as brought up by Sapphire Lady (BTW: Welcome to SB). Not only is this an amusing thread but one that brings up questions about Ghandia’s ethics and morals (hahahaha).

Immunity Challenge
http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/cgi-bin/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=3038&forum=DCForumID2
Corcam’s thread, “New Episode 3 Video Caps” shows various shots of BOTH the IC and RC challenges. It has been speculated by Ivory Elephant, Tribephyl and Corcam that the IC will be some kind of variation on the S.O.S. challenge, called "The Tower of Hanoi" (that name scares me, I keep waiting for Jane Fonda to show up in leg warmers). The tribes receive large, colored, 2 sided discs that they must muscle onto pegs and then move across the pegs into place, much like a giant sized puzzle. From the video caps it was ascertained that Ken and Stephanie from Sook Jai sit out in order to balance the competition.
An interesting side note, Corcam mentioned that in past editions of Survivor the Immunity Idol has always been dropped from a boat or plane in the S.O.S. challenge which in S5 is "The Hanoi Tower (enter Jane Fonda) but in these caps it appears to be on Sook Jai’s beach?!?!?!?!
POTENTIAL SPOILING MATERIAL –there are no pictures/mention of Chuay Gahn in the IC, this could foreshadow a Sook Jai loss and their first TC.
Reward Challenge
In the same thread, Bungler posted video caps of what we now believe to be the reward challenge. Yogi further backs up this speculation with "Asian Previews" that plainly show supplies of some type in boats. The challenge itself consists of a “human obstacle course”. Basically the tribes will be walking across bamboo planks with baskets to boats waiting on the other side. Once they make it across they load their baskets and head back with their loot or something similar to that. The caveat is that the opposing tribe members act as obstacles in the path of the “retriever” and try to block the retriever. Based on the video caps and MB’s desire to quench our thirst for violence, we get treated to the first ever physical combat on Survivor! I will henceforth refer to it as“The Fight".
According to the comments from Jiffy Probe (see Rain Crow’s Family Values thread link below) we may get to see a combo Survivor/ American Gladiators competition. Woo-Hoo!

The previews tell us things get out of hand and we see Doood (RoBB) choking Clay. Later Doood is complaining to Jake that someone is a “whiney, little punk”. Also, Jed seems to have gotten his testosterone shot because he’s awfully aggressive and is shown performing some crazy Kung Foo on Brian.
Theories abound that Dood and Clay get into “The Fight”. Sadly, we have nothing concrete or definitive to back this up. Nothing points to the winner and Survivin Dawg’s thread about disqualification makes one contemplate whether or not there will be an actual bootee or a disqualification. Check out his thread here:

Long Term and Other Misc.
Weight loss/hair growth – Webby has posted weight loss/hair growth shots of Brian and Clay. So far 4 members of CG have had weight loss spoilers, we learned from the Early Show interview that Tanya lost 15lbs in 6 days so it is very likely that there is bit of truth to those rumors. We have NO weight loss spoilers on Sook Jai other than Erin and her ta-ta’s.

Torches – Bubble Gum, a new member (Welcome to SB) posted a thread dealing with torch colors. Some are silver, some are gold. The questions are, what do the torch colors mean and are they personalized or randomly chosen at TC? This thread has excellent analysis that may come in handy as the tribe’s progress toward the merge.

Editing – An ever perceptive and intelligent Nightscribe brings up an outstanding topic in her thread titled “Can editing help us spoil”. This thread is a great read and brings up issues such as are we being led away from the truth, MB’s overall evilness and spoiling in general.

I want to point out a thread dealing with Episode 4 that debates whether the switch will happen and if it does will it be a gender based switch. You can view it here:

Finally, please see OutFrontGirl’s thread about the SB Pledge-a-Thon. After having lost this site for 2 whole days I think many of us realized how lucky we are to have SB, The Blue Men, and each other here in this on-line corner of the world. Without question Survivor Blows is the BEST. SURVIVOR SITE. EVER. Let’s keep it that way, make your pledges today!
Happy Spoiling Everyone!!!!
