*dim lights*
I’m gonna make you an offer you can’t refuse.
I will allow you to catch up on your reading.
Last weeks Ep11 SOTSis by the famous Dom emydi.
If you don’t check it out you might be swimming with the puking fishes.
If you missed last weeks show, check out the live commentary in the S13 EP10 – East Coast Update Thread. Thanks to Ice Cat, who still has the best recipe for insanely fluffy pancakes. Thanks to those who post in this thread, especially Flowerpower for the detailed commentary. While you are there you should check out the discussion about Prometheus. Flowerpower ask “...hmmmm, wonder if Prometheus could be legit? Sure makes a girl wonder as he called Adam as IC winner?” ktchong answers,” Prometheus has been right on a couple of unexpected surprises (i.e., Brad being the first juror, Adam winning this immunity,) but the he's been wrong on some other details.” Who is Prometheus and why does the family love him ???,???, ???, and ???.
Need a little more insight into last weeks show check out Episode 11 Insider brought over from Sucks by CRyanShort.
Before we continue we need to do a little business. We always have newcomers to this wonderful RTVW family. You are welcome here. But we do have a few rules, doesn’t every family. Please take a few moments to review our RTVW Community Guidelines. If you have any questions ask any of my associates.
Let’s start with the interview Capo forehead brought over from that other Family’s site. TV Guide asked the Boss of Bosses; Capo di tutti capi Burnett to handicap the seven players still in the game at press time.
Yul: "He has that dangerous combination of being extremely likable and extremely cerebral," Burnett says. "He used the immunity idol in a very smart way, and it actually turned the game."
Ozzy: "He's one of the greatest challenge players we've ever had, right up there with Terry and Colby. He certainly is a target."
Jonathan: "He's done what he's had to do to get this far. He's saved himself so many times, he's like Houdini. Jonathan has managed to offend many people, but he's a very clever guy and knows that's a safer bet to make it into the final 2."
Adam: "There's no question that we've focused on his alliance with Candice, but he's a very strong player. He might be cleverer than we think." Candice, who was booted last week, was "near genius," says Burnett, but Adam was 'her Achilles' heel."
Becky: "She may be playing a clever, silent-but-deadly game in that she's letting Yul take all the heat. For much of the show, she was under the radar."
Parvati: "Parvati's a good athlete, can be a very strong challenge player and she's not afraid to use her sexuality."
Sundra: "Sundra has offended nobody and is the kind of person who can go to the end because she's not seen as a threat. Everyone likes her."
*mumble* *mumble*
The Boss has asked for a sit-down with these associates on the record.
The family would like to thank Capo Brownroach for bringing the ”Arranging a Hit“ title over.
The family would like to thank Capo Chez for posting Episode 12:”Arranging a Hit”: CBS Misdirection
The family would like to thank Capo esquire for posting the question Does Adam go on an IC Streak? Read this thread and decide for yourself if the empty suit Adam hangs on to 5th place as TDT’s has stated.
The family would like to thank Capo Brownroach for one of the longest threads. TDT’s Survivometer updates
The family is proud to present this thread as our gift to you. This is the family's big earner. After The Recap- The Players, The Game, The Editing - Cook Islands Thank you VerucaSalt for hosting this thread and making us all think outside the box. Spend some time reading and get a little insight into Mark Burnett’s editing. Below is a sample of the discussion.
What does the machete figuratively chopping Becky in half mean? Are we to make anything of the producers showing this imagery to us? What about Yul being chopped in half.
Is this an editing trick to tell us that Becky is eventually going to get chopped (i.e. in third place, chopped by Yul, or perhaps lose a close vote in the F2 because Parvati who is holding the machete, voted for the other person?
Are the chopping shots of Parv to explain her lame attempt at work, a little too late, led to her being chopped, and to set up her injury. What is the symbol of the birds?
Adam & Parvati
Parvati leaving
Adam can’t believe he’s alone.

Reward Challenge:
OR
xwraith27 pointed out that survivors will be blindfolded and will have to get water from the ocean, possibly guided by loved ones. They will then come back to their starting position and toss the water (without the container) to their loved one, who will catch the water with a container of their own. They will put the water on the bucket, maybe raising a flag.
Here are the family members:
Becky & sister
Adam & Dad
Parvati, the winner still wearing her blindfold.

The Boss has asked for a sit-down with a few of the spoiler sites I also check. These associates are off the record.
• Confessional Analysis Using storytelling, tribal dynamic, and theme confessionals to predict the boot and winner.
• Compilation of Spoilers A good spot to see the spoilers side by side.
• True Dork Times Survivormeter and great links
• For yooze, who like the numbers, check out this site at sucks: Betting Odds as Spoilers
I personally vouch for a friend of mine. His name is Capo forehead. Check out his thread about the Episode 13 title: ”I Have the Advantage…For Once”
Don forehead has also brought over from sucks Final 3 Confirmed. Mark Burnett does not give us the final three but tells us there will be three in the final. The fresh and unusual final begins with five players who are challenged with the hardest puzzle Survivor has ever done called Compass Rose. The final four’s last immunity challenge will be a trial of balance and endurance. Three will be sent to the final tribal counsel with nine on the jury. The possibility exists for a three-way tie.
Let’s take a walk Capo di tutti capi . What does the future hold for Survivor. Survivor Fiji--the 14th edition will likely debut in February. "It has an extremely unique opening episode," Burnett says. "There will be an Exile Island, but it's quite different, and the hidden immunity idol portion of the game has an interesting twist." And look for yet another way to divide the tribes--and keep Survivor fresh.
Capo FlamingCactusIT has information on a possible Fiji Survivor 14 contestant. Art is a bar owner/Substitute teacher (who by the way taught FlamingCactusIT). He was suppose to be on Exile Island but broke his arm. A younger family member says, “He has been gone for ages”.
Sniget posted a link in this thread about a military coup that happened December 5, 2006. According to the schedule, filming should end on December 7th. We wish for a safe return of Survivors and Crew.
This might be the best final vote sequence we have ever seen. Think of Jeff dodging bullets while riding a horse, to a waiting boat. Driving the boat while bombs are spraying water into Jeff’s face. Still carrying the vote case around his neck. Jumping out of the boat to drive a Jeep to the airport. One large explosion as the plane leaves the runway. You get the drift, stay tuned and keep checking back to RTVW for future news.
Thanks for taking the time to read my first SOTS. A SOTS was the first thing I read at RTVW.
