STATE OF THE SPOILING

In case you didn’t know, this week is

The title of the episode is Too Close for Comfort. It goes hand-in-hand with what Boston Rob says in one of the week's vidcaps “One thing you don’t want to happen…. It happens…”

Let’s see if I can use the clues and the vidcaps to piece the story line together….


Jiffy: “With nine castaways fighting for their lives, it’s anyone’s game.”


THE CLUES

A COMMON ENEMY STRENGTHENS THE BOND BETWEEN TWO CASTAWAYS, CAUSING PROBLEMS FOR THE REST.

Phillip, the Red-Haired Step-Child is up to his old tricks and continues to torment Ashley and Natalie


Ashley goes so far as to tell Phillip that he will be voted out “four to one.” * Hint: Look at her hands


ONE CASTAWAY GETS A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE ON REDEMPTION ISLAND, WHILE ANOTHER CASTAWAY’S PLAN FOR A BIG MOVE COULD PROVE TO BE THEIR BIGGEST MISTAKE.

The consensus is that the castaway who gets a taste of their own medicine on Redemption Island will be Andrea who receives the cold shoulder from Matt, Rooster, and Mike.

The Castaway planning a big move that could prove to be their biggest mistake is indeed Ashley. It is thought she may be planning to go against Rob's wishes and plot to get Phillip out, leading perhaps to her own demise? Read on.


THE VIDCAPS


Meanwhile, back at Ometepe we see the Final 5 return to camp after Tribal Council …


Ashley: ”… and then there were five”

Ashley (to Natalie): “I really trust you.”

Ashley: (confessional) "I really trust Natalie."
Natalie: "She thinks it's me and her."


Ashley: I love a blindside!


Grant: “Splitting them up is the best route!”

Grant (telling Rob) “I’m with you, dude.”


Rob: “I won’t vote you out.”
Phillip: “Thank you.”
Rob: “You have my word.”
Rob: “You just have to do what I say.”

Rob (to Natalie): “Ashley can’t be trusted.”



Rob (to Natalie): “I’ve got your back. You just have to do what I say.”

STEALTH ARE US, (l. to r.) the Assasin, the Specialist and the Mentalist make a pact. Perhaps they are hatching a plan to oust Ashley from their tribe?

But then there is the Immunity Challenge



It’s anyone’s game … who will win?

Next, we hear Boston Rob in confessional …

Rob: “One thing you don't' want to happen... It happens.”

What is "the worst thing to happen" you ask? Well, some think that Stealth R Us have hatched a plan to vote out Ashley. But their scheme is foiled when Ashley wins the Immunity Challenge.

However, I recall last week's show where Boston Rob confided to his sister telling her that the worst thing that could possibly happen would be for two alliance mates to talk and compare notes. This plants the seed that perhaps two of Rob's alliance mates are talking and comparing notes - perhaps Grant leads Rob to believe this, and they agree at that time that it is time for Ashley to go.

So, who will it be voted out at Tribal Council you ask?

THE BOOTEE

1st Pick:

Behind Curtain Number One some think it will be …

Natalie


The first plan was to break the Spa Girls up and vote out Ashley. If Ashley wins Immunity however, there are some who think the Spa Girls are interchangeable and it will be Natalie who is voted off. As Krautboy so eloquently posted "When the 'worst possible thing happens', and Ashley wins immunity," it could be Natalie who goes. After all, we were also told by Jiffy, that Rob is now carrying Amber and his child on his back and there may no longer be room for Natalie.

2nd Pick:


There are others who think the boot will be:


Grant

Last week, he received a bye when he lost the Immunity Challenge and Andrea was sent packing. He is the biggest physical threat to win the remaining Immunity Challenges. Rob made a pact with Natalie, his number one F-2 partner, and he will not vote her out. Nor will Ashley vote her out. Phillip will do as he is told. In order for this vidcap to come TRUE ...

then, Grant, the Assasin, will make the walk of shame at Tribal Council.

3rd Pick:


And behind Door Number Three for this week’s castoff, is


Special Agent Phillip, the red-haired stepchild


If Ashley indeed wins immunity, than Rob will stay true to his alliance with Grant and Natalie, and he doesn’t even have to vote for Phillip. Grant, Natalie and Ashley will vote Phillip. We are shown once again how annoying he is to the Spa Girls around camp. He has been the target for more than one episode. This week, his luck runs out and he is sent to Redemption Island where he will continue to annoy the HECK out of Mike, Matt and Andrea.


MY Pick:


Although all of the above choices are viable ones, this week I am calling a spade a spade! My pick for the Boot this week is:

ASHLEY

I agree with our resident-German boy Krautboy in his assessment of the week's vidcaps and voiceovers -- they are setting us up for the "Ashley v Natalie story line. Leading up to the IC, Ashley will probably be edited as Rob's choice for the votes at TC. Ashley will also be shown planning big moves with Natalie to vote out Phillip, who is unending in his torture of the Spa Girls. However, I do not think Ashley will win the Immunity Challenge. It will be Grant who receives the Immunity Necklace, and everything will go as planned. Ashley will make the trek to Redemption Island to join her friend Andrea.


REDEMPTION ISLAND QUADRUEL


And that brings me to Redemption Island…

We see the four daws competing in a Table Maze with Tile Smash …





First they must get through the maze, then smash their tiles and then finally complete a puzzle. Ralph aka Rooster finishes the maze first, but the Dumb-A$$ quickly falls short in the last puzzle leg. Matt finishes first, Mike second, and Andrea third and Rooster is sent off to join his friends at the Ponderosa.

That's it folks! Don't forget to make up your own minds and go post your votes in dabo's Vote Thread.

Thanks for the hard work.

Great SOTS, Scarlett! I like how you neatly laid out the potential timeline of the episode and am in agreement that Ashley is the most likely boot for this week.

But... but, but! I need to know if Ted Knight is coming back from Redemption Island or not? The episode is called "Too Close for Comfort", ya know.

4. "Woo Hoo!"
The only one that you feel is safe this week is Robfadda! Yeah! I couldn't agree more with your assessments. I love how you examined each and everyone. As we noted, there are several scenarios that could be "the worst thing that could happen"...we heard Rob just last week when his sister came talking about it. He said the worst thing that could happen would be if they start talking with each other...but they won't. Perhaps Grant does indeed point out to Rob, that the spa girls are inseparable, splitting them up is the best course.

The hype in the promos is to throw us off course, I think. More than likely Ashley will not win the challenge and it will be business as usual for Rob and company. And, then there were four...

Well done, Scarlett!

Yay! A Scarlett SOTS! Nice work.

I agree that we were shown Ralph smashing his tile only because he loses. Casual viewers are now expecting him to win.

The season has been edited to show Rob being always in control. So, Ashley being voted out would continue in the same vein. However, being forced to vote someone else out, his closest ally Natalie no less, throws his game a bit out of control, editing-wise. I don't think it will happen but it would add an interesting layer to the story: Has Rob lost it so close to the end?

PS: You write: "STEALTH ARE US, (l. to r.) the Assasin, the Mentalist and the Strategist" but Rob is the Mentalist. Phil is the Specialist!

Excellent job, Scar!
Amazingly thorough and just enough wiggle room for folks to make up their own minds.


But why, when your pick is the most logical?

Outstanding SOTS Scarlett!

I was so ready to go against the popular vote, but your SOTS is so convincing, I may have to jump off the cliff with all the other lemmings you created with your hipnotic logic!

Well done!

I love that flashy siggy!!! Reminds me of summer storms in the south.

And Krautboy, I just can't tell you how happy I am to see you back on these boards. You bring so much to the table! I love reading what you have to say!

After reading your SOTS Scar, there is no doubt in my mind that Ashley takes the walk of shame tonight.

Nice job, thanks!
