thetick's SEMI-UNOFFICIAL, COMPLETELY HALF BAKED, LAST MINUTE, UNDER THE RADAR (I MEAN WIRE)
Yes, yes I know it doesn't look the same, but all that artsy stuff takes time and I am slapping this together at the last minute. Don't lean on anything, all the paint is still wet and small/gigantic chunks of plaster/concrete (consult your attorney as to which) are still falling down.
LAST WEEK
First things first. Wondering where we were from last week? Check out the previous SOTS here: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/5074.shtml
Or perhaps refresh your memory with Markopolo100's always entertaining ep 11 Insider Transcripts here: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/5092.shtml
Episode 12: STUPID PEOPLE, STUPID, STUPID PEOPLE
VIDCAPS & WEBPROMOS
As we all remember, last episode saw Kathy have her torch snuffed, which was no shock to anyone. At this point Shii devil looks ripe for a pagonging or does she? The spoiling begins as always immediately after the show with the vidcap previews of next weeks episode. These have been discussed on SB's Vidcap thread here: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/5091.shtml
Early spec in the vidcap thread focused on Alicia's potentially waggin' finger, Rupert's looming decision, and who exactly that was on the beach with Rupert? As well you had the voiceover stating:
JP: Next time on Survivor... Alicia is on edge.
Alicia: Don't, don't don't don't.
Jenna: You know you don't wanna (inaudible)
Amber: She's just being a big baby.
JP: Forced to make a tough decision, Rupert's at risk.
Rupert: This is what kicked me out on Pearl Islands.
JP: And a surprising development threatens the power players.
Tom: You know who they want to get rid of, it aint gonna be me.
Rob: I'm as scared as all of them but I'm not letting 'em see it.
Besides the vidcaps, all the newfangled younguns seem to be enthralled with something called a webpromo, shh I hear it's the next big thing. At any rate FSUGUY's Webpromo thread can be found here: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/5097.shtml
Interesting caps there show us masks just like those used in the previous mask smashing challenge from ep8 of Amazon - FACE OFF.
Also we see a trivia/slambook setup also used in the Amazon as an element of this same challenge.
Later we see several Survivor's with chained arms in the air and a mystery female Survivor getting drenched which is a rehash of the Africa ep7 challenge - WHEN IT RAINS IT REALLY POURS.
From these we have the two challenges and spoiling has almost certainly pegged the masks for the RC and the endurance challenge as IC. Along with these caps we get this voiceover:
VO: Only 4 Survivor episodes left. CBS Thursday...
JP: We're gonna get catty.
VO: In a game of truth...
Shii Ann: Someone could get crushed.
Alicia: I don't like these people anymore.
VO: And, an endurance test for immunity...
JP: How much more you got left in you Rupert?
VO: Move a muscle...get washed out.
JP: Whooo hoooo.
VO: Will Survivor sweethearts Rob and Amber turn on each other?
Amber: Even if I'm lying to him he's going to trust me.
VO: There's a million reasons why.
Rob: She may be playing me and if so, hey, she had me fooled.
And then you get your lovely SeeBS misdirection courtesy of JSlice here: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/5090.shtml
STATE OF THE SPOILING
Most spoiling this week seems to focus on Shii Ann and Alicia. Marko does double daw duty and posts the CBS press release, which makes much of Shii Ann's determination to win: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/5105.shtml
Yet another bone of contention to spoilers everywhere is who will be named the "least deserving person to be on All Stars". Shii Ann, Alicia, and Amber seem to be the leading contenders in this Survivor beauty pageant and spec/spoiling on that subject can be found across many threads including the CBS press release, the Web Promo, and Vidcap threads. Personally, I believe that in future seasons when we speak of a dud-throwaway contestant we will say that they "shiianned their way onto that island." For instance you might say, "that thetick, he shiianned his way into the SOTS lineup at the last second."
Rupert begins to enter the spotlight with his previous reward challenge victory and with his showing up all over the previews and voiceovers for this week.
We all know that this sudden rise in screen time foreshadows his doom this week - its my thread and I can take this one little dream for myself - you heard it here first, Poopert is booted. In actuality, sigh..., more realistic and cogent thoughts on the meaning of editing can be found in Veruca Salt's monster The Players, The Game, The Editing thread(collect all four kids!) located here: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/5034.shtml
The nuances plumbed there are not for noobs like myself.
Krautboy's always insightful Snewserwatch thread just keeps chuggin along here: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/4659.shtml
Of particular note, to me at least, posts 88 through 116 by Brownroach, Flowerpower, UDG, and emydi in the Web Promo thread seem to have uncovered the order of placement of the RC contestants which has given solid insight into the RC contenders and early outs. If a jedi mind trick had wild monkey love with a vulcan mind meld, this is the kind of sick/genius offspring it would have.
Those wishing to cast their vote this week can as always put their two cents in, or just view everyone else's, at SherpaDave's vote thread found here: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/5106.shtml
LOOKING FORWARD
Looking into our crystal ball... typhoon season comes early and washes away Poopert and his shelter AGAIN! Romber are both tragically wiped out in a My Lil Pony Sit-n-Spin accident, Jenna's lost videotape from S1 surfaces revealing her jungle fever with the HIV infected porn star causing her immediate quarantine, Velociraptors from Isla Nubar swim over and feast on Big Tom Surprise, and lone remaining Survivor and strategic genius ShiiAnn finds a way to vote herself off anyway, causing the series to implode. You wish. Me too. some All Stars
Seriously, Brownroach brings us the Family Visit Spoiler thread here: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/5014.shtml
Timing is just about ripe for this to take place
And, the episode 13 title is known to be "A Chapera Surprise". Check out its thread here: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/5093.shtml
not as easy as it looks
