LAST EDITED ON 04-01-11 AT 06:06 AM (EST)The former tribes have big plans for one castaway who has the potential to change the game. Meanwhile, this same castaway grapples with the decision of whether to make the powerful move
I agree with tribe's point that the Zaps have no cause for hope with Matt.
Problem with Phillip as the "one" and the "same" castaway here is that only one of the tribal factions i.e. the "former tribes" would be likely to have "big plans" for Phillip.
The first part of this teaser doesn't fit Phillip, and both parts of the teaser are about the same player. Nor does it fit very well if Phillip's "potential to change the game" involved flipping. Big plans on both sides suggests that both sides have somewhat the same ambition for the player -- almost certainly to recruit him. Ometepe isn't going to recruit Phillip because he already belongs to them.
Matt is a big piece to capture for either tribal faction or the minor alliance at Ometepe. Matt's allegiance has the "potential to change the game."
"Grapples" is a word often used for people of faith who are wrestling with some demon or thorny ethical problem or temptation. Specifically, Christ grappled with Satan in the Wilderness. The writers seem to be embracing the spiritual tropes when it comes to Matt.
I am sure Phillip is capable of using the term grappling, but it doesn't work as neatly as it does with Matt emulating his Lord's path. (I think someone in the game might say this.)
You've got to figure that this whole plot could last about five minutes once they get back to camp. Maybe ten. Then Matt makes his choice and they move on to the question of how to flush out Ralph's idol.
I could see Rob saying the title quote.
It would be a big move to hang on to his idol.
It's possible that Agent Phillip would go into enemy territory and pretend to defect so as to gather intel on what the plan to do with the idol.
