LAST EDITED ON 03-14-03 AT 01:40 AM (EST)>Alex and Shawna's budding relationship grows to new levels, but Matthew's interest in her develops as well, as he makes a play for Shawna's affection.
The fact that Matt makes this move is not as important as the outcome that it implies: he makes a play and gets shot down by Shawna. This could lead to the division of the tribe. The jilted Matt makes a pact with Deena, who has said that she has gone from the "top to the bottom" of the proverbial heap and would jump on such a deal.
>Dave's strategy takes a tailspin when he learns Butch & Roger have their own ideas about who should stay and who should go.
I think that Dave's actions in this episode will come back to bite him. All we heard Dave talking about with Jenna regarding his tribemates were names, occupations and ages, while Jenna spilled her guts. But their talking went into the night, and I think Dave spilled his guts too but it was edited out. I say this because at the end of choosing teams, the least desired tribemate on each tribe was left on the table: Matt and Jeanne. Why would Jenna pick "Baby Shakes" over big brawny Matt? She must've heard something negative about him.
Edited to add: Roger and Butch seem to be falling all over each other to fill the "Roger/Pappy" role to Christie's "Lizliz/Neleh." The old guy/young chick alliance has always gone deep in the game, and while I believe in the goodness of mankind and I don't like to sound cynical, I think both these guys are well aware of the longevity of the OG/YC connection. Christie may be playing this a bit, too.
>One Survivor's performance at a Reward Challenge has an enormous impact on a tribemate, who calls it the "defining moment" of their life.
The previews point to Butch/Christie on this one, but that just seems too obvious.
