Thanks, tullfan! You are right, the women could win the ep 2 IC, and the belted challenge could be it. You have noted three possible scenarios.I am speculating that the tribal shuffle occurs in episode 3, after 2 boots, most likely planned for then as the tribes would be even. But, if there is a medivac as well, then regardless, the shuffle would occur with 3 people gone.
Or, there is no medivac yet, and 2 people are gone, booted in the traditional time line, and there are folks that are just not seen.
Or, it could occur in episode 4 with 3 people gone to date.
To sum it up
Not seen anywhere after episode 1: Kourtney, Nina, Chelsea, but one of them is seen in the water basketball challenge with Sabrina, we just don't know which one.
One female MUST go in episode 1, maybe 2 go, if there is a female medivac.
Not seen anywhere after episode 2: Kourtney, Nina, Chelsea One of them is seen in the water basketball challenge with Sabrina, just don't know which one.
Matt, Troyzan Troyzan may be the one that is jumping on Jonas in the water basketball challenge. If that person is NOT Troyzan, than he is not seen anywhere either post tribal shuffle.
So, there are possibly 4 people that are NOT seen post tribal shuffle, 2 girls and 2 guys...at least 2 of them are gone by way of tc boot, maybe 3. Someone could be a medivac, or 2 of them may just not be shown, but still there.
