**updated to fix broken links**
Due to the NCAA Basketball Tournaments Survivor will be aired on WEDNESDAY MARCH 19, 2003. (Consider yourselves warned)
More than “meats” the eye.
So here we are at Episode 6 of this sordid tale of intrigue, sex, lies and videotape that we have all come to know and love as SURVIVOR. This is without question the most pathetic group of desperate attention whores that we have seen to date. Logic, wisdom and common sense have taken a vacation and it wasn't to the Amazon.
Nothing in this game has been a given as we saw last week when Rocket-Boy Dave and Glamour-Girl Jenna got together for a little date. Jenna drank too much, teased us with her ta-ta’s and spilled the beans about her tribe to Rocket-Man. Hey Jenna, ever hear the phrase “loose lips sink ships”??????? Guess not. The look on Jena's face was priceless when hero of the day, Jiffy appeared and had these two crazy kids pick new tribes. For over a week we here at SB had surmised that there would be some kind of tribal mix up, thanks to the almighty Ice Cat for posting the Morpho-Matt picture which gave us clear cut evidence that Matt and Deena were on the same tribe. To see it for yourself go here http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/3625.shtml
Tribes shifted, new alliances were forged and Tambaqui took a dive at the IC which resulted in Jeanne taking the walk. Now that we are up to date let’s get to work on Ep. 6.

CO gets his own paragraph in this SOTS. This has been a dominant spoiler around the boards and although it has been inaccurate in some cases, it offers up some juicy and interesting end game possibilities.

MarcoPolo kicks it up a notch by throwing open the doors of discussion in his CO's F4 doesn't work thread here http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/cgi-bin/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=3642&forum=DCForumID2&omm=0
Episode Highlights
From CBS:
Shocked by Jeanne's departure, Christy seeks answers from the tribe as to why they spared her.
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.
Dave's strategy takes a tailspin when he learns Butch & Roger have their own ideas about who should stay and who should go.
One Survivor's performance at a Reward Challenge has an enormous impact on a tribemate, who calls it the "defining moment" of their life.
JSlice opened up this week’s highlights for discussion here http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/cgi-bin/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=3641&forum=DCForumID2&omm=0. This is an OUTSTANDING thread for speculation and discusses in detail the who’s, why’s and how’s of alliances within the two tribes. There is some excellent information regarding a spoiler that states “One castaway forms an alliance with a hated member only to betray them later”. Hate is very strong word and the description lends itself to several possibilities within the tribal dynamics.
And for the Harlequin Romance Readers out there, you can find all the sordid details of Shawna and Alex’s budding romance in SurvivnDawg's Thread "Does Shawna Quit" as linked here
http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/cgi-bin/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=3631&forum=DCForumID2&omm=0
Speaking of Shawna, ZZZ poses the question "Was Shawna ever really sick?" http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/3644.shtml
Seems to me all she needed was good old fashioned dose of hot, jungle lovin… *okay I’ll take it to Bashers*
BigIdiot has his brain running in overdrive regarding the "mystery box" you can what the hub-bub is here http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/cgi-bin/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=3541&forum=DCForumID2&omm=0 and here http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/3652.shtmlCcheck it out as there is some wonderful and up to date reasoning that the mystery box is a key item in the eventual tribal merge.
Okay, this one is waaaaaaaay over my little blonde head, however those of you educated folk may want to check out Survivoriest’s thread on Revisiting Nash (I didn't know Nash the first time) http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/3653.shtml Perhaps later someone with more than 1 remaining brain cell can fill me in.
Tribephyl gives us his IC/RC shots here http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/3651.shtml that segway nicely to the next portion of the SOTS
Reward Challenge
Spoiler evidence points to a Tambaqui win at the RC. See the photos in Bungler's vid cap threads. Here's the Thursday Previews Ep.6 http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/3640.shtml
And there's more here from Saturday Previews Ep.6 http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/3650.shtml
It appears as if the RC is some type of log rolling/wrestling challenge. We see photos of Butch and Christie smiling, wet and cheering. This coupled with all of the other photos confirm a Tambaqui victory.
Immunity Challenge
Based upon what I have seen at SB and what I have read elsewhere the IC is a challenge that requires the tribes to gnaw off hunks of meat hanging from a hook and pass it down to a scale where it will be weighed. The tribe with the most meat wins. You can view images of this challenge in Tribephyl’s IC/RC thread link above. For more pictures and a deeper analysis, check out TDT’s speculation http://www.truedorktimes.com/s6/spoilers/. It seems from the images that we have Tambaqui taking home the Idol.
Boot
As it stands there are 3 likely boot candidates. Shawna, Alex and Christie (if Tambaqui goes to TC). Based upon the IC images it seems that Tambaqui takes home the idol meaning that a Jabaru will be booted. The two most likely candidates are Alex and Shawna who in their passion for each other placed huge targets on their backs. Breaking up this romantic alliance is crucial before it grows and becomes a voting block. According to Snewster's Scorecard here http://www.survivornews.net/snn.php?sid=scorecard Shawna doesn’t make the merge and does not bode well for her in Ep.6. It would be logical to keep a strong man over a sick, whiney female but we all know that logic doesn’t figure into the game.
And that’s all she wrote for this week. Next week brings us “Girls Gone Wilder...a study in Silicone and the Male Psyche”
Sorry boys it’s not the "SnoopDogg Spring Break Edition" but what did you expect? This isn't FOX ya know...
