(Eating and)Sleeping With The Enemy
(Title from here)
Previously on Survivor the newly merged tribe had to decide on the first member of the jury and since Bobby Gon chose to limit his sights on the jury and not the whole ball of wax...the others obliged and sent BJ packing.
SeeBS Misdirection
1.In a down-and-dirty struggle for Reward in the mud, a team is let down by the failure of one member.
In that thread by FlowerPower we learn that in addition to the normal SeeBS misdirection we have information from the CBS press release and that is: One castaway’s inability to perform at the Reward Challenge blows it for the entire team. Brownroach speculates that this clinches the discussion leading to teams of two men and two women at the RC. So who is the most likely goat? Some say it would be Lydia as the weak link, others say that Gary intentionally throws the challenge because he can't afford to win a reward at this point.
2.One tribemate's incessant paranoia drives another to the breaking point.
This is screaming JAMIE to most people. (And you also know that at least one of the SeeBS misdirection pieces is about the eventual episode boot...just keep that in mind.)
3.Some feel vulnerable, and some feel sure of who should go, leading to an unpredictable Tribal Council. Will the strong survive, or will the weak slide by?
Again, is this simple misdirection that the axis of evil who now has forces numbering 6-2 will boot the weaker outnumbered ex-Yaxha? Or will the forces of Danni and Gary put the "sha" in Xhakum and band together with others to get rid of one of the strong?
Reward Challenge- Down and Dirty!
The challenge is going to be run in pairs, yet the pairs are gender based- Danni/Stephenie, Lydia/Cindy, Judd/Gary, and Jamie/Rafe. The SeeBS information plus the fine speculation of our people on this board in the E10 Preview Caps thread (Thanks FP!) indicates that the pairs are paired and one group of four will be whisked away by helicopter for an overnight reward which will include food and videos from home.
So the question is, which group would fit with the title? We do see a dejected muddy Judd:
And a pointing, cheering or jeering? Jamie and Rafe:
So which set of women would go with which set of men? Gary and Danni can only be the ones described as sleeping with the enemy. So is Danni/Stephenie paired with Gary/Judd or would it make more sense that D/S are paired with Jamie/Rafe? Much more speculation and analysis here.
Overall the challenge itself looks like they have to work their way through obstacles tied together in pairs and collect water in jugs and pour it into a main pot. Again, the question goes back to which survivor would let the team down?
Immunity Challenge
Both challenges are muddy and dirty. (Too bad Brandon isn't here as he loved him some mud-bogging) The IC is most likely the one where they have to unwind themselves through and over obstacles.
Is the helicopter landing and bringing the RC winners to the IC, or, is the helicopter taking off to take the RC winners to the overnight? Usually they let them clean up some before being whisked away, but then again these obstacles look more like the RC obstacles. Why have this clip in the middle of the footage?
In any case we can only speculate who might win the IC based on the fact that to win you must be strong and agile. Who is in danger that is strong and agile? You guessed it if you say our resident landscaper Gary Hawkins. Good chance his history of digging up and re-designing the earth will help him in the mud.
The Boot
All you have to do is look in Veruca Salt's editing thread to see that the story arc of Jamie Newton is coming to an end. He was a bad guy, got his redemption edit, and now, poof- the Pagong doesn't hold as the weak bond with the loose ends of a 6 way alliance in order to turn the game in their favor.
Here we see Stephenie plotting with Lydia and Rafe:
It has been pointed out that Lydia has been reserving that nice clean white shirt for trips to tribal council, so this is just before the trek.
So who is the person full of paranoia, and rightfully so because the boot is about to kick them?
You got it, Jamie.
So now all you need to do is go and vote, but remember- curves on women are good:
But curves in the vote thread are not
