First: Thanks VH for enhancing my tennis analogy. If Jonathan is a commentator rather than a player, he still can't win. Cao Boi, as any good volleyer, could smash any easy lob thrown his way with a devastating but unsavory one-liner. I liked your analysis of the women in the back-ground and the visuals I noted after watching the tape may add to it.
Emy, as with VH I agree with most of your observations except maybe on Becky.

Here are visuals that I noted on second viewing:
1)The shark was seen twice rising from the depths, ready to attack. Each time the first person focused on was Adam. First he's paddling in the fore-front and then it happens just before his confessionals about not caring for segregated tribes. We do see Flicka acting as an out-board motor to the raft (!) in between but Adam is the first we hear. Will Adam be the shark or its victim? Since we see Adam after the shark, I tend to opt for the victim.

2) Twice someone mentioned the million. Jeff saying: "Only one will remain to claim the million..." and Jonathan saying: "This is Survivor. One is going to win the million... cut throat..." Each time Parvati was shown in a close-up, carrying the chicken on the raft and strolling on the beach. She also was always shown smiling. Danni anyone?

3)Becky solved the puzzle for Puka, intercepted the flint Jeff seemed to throw in Yul's direction and received the head of the idol after Cao Boi directed Jeff to give it to her. Add Cao Boi's comment about Asians being under-estimated and I ask: Aren't you under-estimating Becky? The one thing that has me worried is something from "The VS Book of Analysis". After Becky intercepts Yul's flint, we hear Jeff say that something is more important, immunity. Puka happily claps but no one has the flint in hand! Did Becky pocket it immediately? Isn't it possible that the clapping scene was shot before she caught it? If it was an out-of-sequence scene, then we weren't meant to notice Yul didn't catch the flint. It would be a better sign for Yul than Becky.
