VO: For 12 weeks, Phillip has angered everyone...
Ashley: "It's gross!"
VO: ... alienated the entire tribe...
Phillip: "I made myself the villain."
VO: ... and acted crazy.
Phillip:
VO: But guess what?
Phillip:
VO: He's just been pretending.
Phillip: "It's brilliant strategy."
VO: Or has he?
Rob: "Is he that good?"
Well the promo talks about Phillip once again. This could be a record breaking season where crazy, nutty Phillip is the boot decoy every week. A Phillip siting here makes me believe that they are using him as the boot decoy to hide or cast doubt on another predictable boot...
VO: Plus...
Probst: "Love from home. It's pretty nice."
Probst: "The winner wins love from home."
VO: Who will get it?
Grant: "It's priceless, man."
VO: Who will sacrifice for it?
Matt: "I will do anything I can to win today."
So, what does the verbage tell us...
1. We definitely know that they receive packages in the tree mail and are instructed to bring them to the quad-reul. We see Grant walking with it here....
And, we see Matt bringing it here....
We also hear Matt say, "I will do anything I can to win today". So, more than likely he has an inkling of what is at stake at the Quad-ruel that is imminent.
But, with the Ometepe's walking back, they do not look filled with anticipation, but do look rather discouraged. They could be returning to Murlonio. But, do they show them leaving the duel arena's....no, not in the past. Maybe it's just paranoid Rob filling their heads with another "twist"?
Because at the Quad-ruel, they do seem to be reacting very excitedly and surprisingly....
But, maybe they arrive at the Quadruel without the box, and it's the RI tribe that receives the box in tree mail and goes to the arena with the box, as we see Matt with it. And somehow, the Ome's lose and are left with the box to take back to camp?
We get to see a glimpse of the Quad-ruel here....
It looks to be the toss the rock and break the fragile tiles challenge. We see here pictures of Matt and Mike seeing their loved ones enter the arena...
(Note that there is someone on Matt's immediate left in this frame. I do think that they have to see their loved ones BEFORE the start of the challenge as we have a shot of Natalie's mom walking in and the tiles are all intact, that she is walking past. The challenge hasn't been run yet....
But, I have drawn an arrow to a question that I had....there appears to be a disruption, or a difference in color here....has the challenge been run? We see the last tile of lane one and two, Matt's and Mike's lane's, still in tact. Is that third lane tile in tact or not?
But, on review, it looks like that darkened area is a rock?
And, here is a picture of Matt's brother entering and going by either lane 3 or 4, and those tiles look in tact as well. So, the loved ones must enter before the challenge has run...
We know that the winner wins love from home. The winner of what? The Quadruel? The IC? What? Will the winner of the RI Quadruel have to decide to...make the sacrifice so others can get the love?
Who will sacrifice for it? So, so far it looks like the winner of the Quadruel, most likely Matt as he gets the confessional, I will do anything to win today....will be called upon to make a sacrifice so that others can have their family visit. We see perhaps the family members file out after the Quadruel is over or before it has begun?
We see the Ome's walking back thinking that they are not going to get a chance to really have a visit...but, more than likely, the one who wins the challenge will have to make a similiar sacrifice and they will all get to visit with their loved ones....somehow. We know how Jiffy loves the love....
Now, regarding these pictures...
To me, these are likely before they go to the quadruel...I think this because they look like they have just woken up - Grant with his head covering especially....Nat and Ashley look like they have been crying a long time though, so perhaps it is when they come back to camp?
