LAST EDITED ON 04-18-11 AT 09:47 AM (EST)

Ed to fix details FlowerPower pointed out L-)

I decided to try to make a sequence out of the vidcaps

This is a tentative sequence, nothing firm.

1) Phillip and Steve w/hatchet by the fire.

Phillip is in the lefthand chair and the other chair is empty with Grant's shirt on it.
Steve is poking the fire and has the hatchet in his other hand.

Steve is walking away with the hatchet. There looks to be some tension.

Phillip confessional, partly VO this scene:
If you don't start none, there won't be none.
If you start it, I'm going to finish it.

2) SHOWDOWN at the shelter

Rob and Grant are at the fire; Julie and Steve are in the shelter. Andrea nearby.

We see Phillip walking away from the fire and chair lounging area.

Phillip confronts Steve and Julie in the shelter.

Steve: "You're a lunatic."

Phillip: "Any time somebody of my color gets up in one of your faces, then you feel like I'm a lunatic, I'm crazy."

Julie: "It's got nothing to do with that."

Steve: "So, you're making it a black and white thing now?"

Phillip: "Yeah, I think that's what this is all about between you and me."

Phillip points at Julie like he's firing a pistol.

Andrea: "Whoa!"

Andrea is in the area Phillip walked through, with the cooking fire behind here, and reacts. She still has the black string headband on.

There is a cut to Ashley reacting, with Andrea on the side.

Rob and Grant look up in shock

Grant: "Listen. He just brought in the race card."

Rob: "Did he, really?"

Grant: "It's like watching 'Divorce Court'." (maybe out of sequence)

3) Phillip goes after Steve by the fire

Present: Phillip, Grant, Andrea, Steve

Phillip is getting vocally angry with Steve. Grant is sitting in the chair eating. I think Rob and Grant may have been cooking during the shelter scene, so possibly this is later as Grant has rice. Andrea is tending the fire, wearing her black headband and buff over bikini top. Steve's hands are empty. (no hatchet). Julie is in the shelter.

Phillip: "Look, you guys aren't being reasonable.
You've now called me crazy.

Steve walks away and makes flap flap flap hand movements

Thats' what happens with some... white folks, they like to take a black man and make him crazy when he makes an argument that you don't want to hear."

And you know what I've got to say to that? You are cr... (azy)

Steve goes over by Julie, where he makes a face showing he thinks Phil is out there.

4) Phillip confronts mystery person

Phillip gets out of chair looking mighty angry

Steve and Julie are behind Phillip, so he's not coming at them. He's unlikely to be after an Ometepe. That leaves Ralph who was missing in all the prior scenes.

This is a somewhat different time frame than the earlier fight, because Phillip was sitting in the blue stripe on left chair, and now he's in the chair with pink stripe on left, the one where Grant was sitting.

I would guess this is after the argument has gotten going full tilt, because he looks primed and ready to blow, and Steve and Julie are keeping out of it. Maybe they've had their fill.

5) Phil's Version of Coach's Walkabout

Phil decides to go and chill out? He gets the machete, water, is in his briefs with the buff tucked in front to resemble a native costume?

Here we see his buff is tucked in the front, and l no shorts.

Where is Ralph in all this?
We have two caps of him by the laundry line. Ralph is being hidden in the camp interaction shots, but isn't absent like Natalie. He is not shown angry or fighting, but in the quick frame of video, he does appear to be reacting to something, as if he's about to reply?

If the promo is trying to misdirect us by focusing primarily on Steve, I think most likely it is hiding Phillip's scene with Ralph. Ralph isn't one to tolerate too much BS, and he's not nearly as controlled as Steve.

Ralph took on Phillip and his hawk feather at the last TC. He could be part of the next explosion. I'm not saying that Steve and Phillip aren't in conflict. Clearly they are, but it seems unlike Ralph for him to be Switzerland here.

Ralph could be the boot because Rob needs to lob another strong person at RI.
