LAST EDITED ON 02-27-12 AT 09:28 PM (EST)State of the Spoiling, Episode Two, Survivor: One World Welcome to Survivor Blows and the SOTS, State of the Spoiling for Survivor: One World. Before we embark on this weeks installment, let me be the first to remind you to be nice and play fair, and make sure to peruse the guidelines, located here. They have served us well through the years. Last episode left us with a Tribal Council that did go to fruition and saw Nina walk the walk. Clearly, the alliance of five established on day one, is holding strong, despite a few of them waffling. Nina was toast, and things are looking bleaker for Christina and Monica. The girls tribe was totally dysfunctional. Meanwhile, Colton is working his HII magic, and recruiting the misfits to target one of the frat boys....and they are giddy as school boys about it....For a complete review of the episode, check out the East Coast Spoiler Thread located here. Also, check out dabo's Confessionals thread, located here. And, for press on the episode and boot, go here. This episode has the girls tribe on the brink of despair, as the weather takes a turn for the worst...Bill notes that... One World is Out the WindowTribephyl posted the title and teases thread, here. The riddles are: 1. A BAD STORM WREAKS HAVOC ON THE TRIBES, BRINGING SOME CASTAWAYS TO THEIR BREAKING POINT Clearly, with the first preview promo, it's easy to see that the girls are desperate and COLD...despite their attempts to get more fire from the guys, the girls are still just totally dysfunctional, and freezing...Colton notes that, I'm a republican...I don't believe in handouts.... Kim notes, The problem is they're starting to believe we cannot win.....hmmmm? 2. It’s raining, it’s pouring, castaways are NOT snoring! A storm wreaks havoc. Weathering the harsh elements sparks new battles between the sexes... Yes, a big storm spells no sleep for the girls who are freezing...and the boys are not very sympathetic. 3. poor communication leaves castaways scrambling at a frustration-filled Immunity Challenge. The guys are not as good at communication as the ladies....duh! Reward Challenge The Vidcaps thread, started by Blind Freddy and located here, present all of the evidence that we need to note that there are 2 challenges this episode. Here are our DAWS at the start of the RC:
They do look miserable, indeed...especially Chelsea... Here we see the challenge in mid stride...note the participants on their respective mats, while Alicia and Jay are racing around...note the reward table contains scuba fins and a basket of some kind with something good in it...finally note the 2 sit outs, Jonas and Tarzan. Tarzan has a boo boo on his left front shin... Good thing he's a Dr. and can take care of himself!
Don't know what exactly they are doing, collecting? But, we have evidence of both the boys and the girls possibly winning... Fins at Girls camp....Note lower left corner... And, here is a episode 2 picture of it for comparison. Note that they do appear to have either fishing rods or Hawaiian slings leaning on the tree to the left... Then, scuba gear that the guys have already gotten from the truck... There are fins and gear hanging on the pole to the right, and Troyzan has a pair of fins that he is holding with his left hand. So, you decide...boys win and give the girls some fins as some part of a deal, or the girls win and deal with the guys? Personally, I am leaning toward the guys winning...dunno? Immunity Challenge: the Belted Challenge The Immunity Challenge, consists of 3 blindfolded and bound together couples that must retrieve things over an obstacle course, which includes a giant bucket that dumps colored water on top of you. They most likely must retrieve bags of puzzle pieces, once collected they have to bring them back and put them on the other side of the rope. Seems there is one caller from the tribe, that guides them blindfolded throughout the course in search of the puzzle bags. Once the three bags are retrieved, then the caller most likely must assemble something with the contents of the bags. First one to finish, will one. Here are the couples that are tethered together with the belts and rope... Note that Jonas and Leif are tethered together and holding their rope, also tethered together are Tarzan and Troyzan. We also see Monica and Christina together as well. They are all heading out to retrieve. Also, please note the IN that Blind Freddy has circled. In this picture... ...you can see that Leif and Jonas have already retrieved their bag and placed it within the ropes...they are done. We also see Matt/Michael returning with their bag, soaking wet, and Kat and Alicia returning with their bag. Also, we see the sit outs Colton and Jay. Guys and girls both getting splashed with the colored water... Here are the couples returning, note the challenge apparatus... Who wins? Well, we know that the girls were behind because we see in the promo that Jiffy tells them...You need to move, women!. But, thanks to these old vidcaps that were placed in the "Meet Kim Promo", located here. We see this...Thanks to Blind Freddy for labeling it...
I think Kim was tethered to Chelsea, and the girls clearly win! Note the ELATION of the girls and the disappointment of the guys! Sabrina was most likely the caller/communicator for the girls, while Bill was the caller/communicator for the guys. The RESULTS Reward Winner: Best guess is... I think the women losing the RC will make winning the IC so much more SUHHHH-WEEEEET! IC Winner: Bootee: Well, we have vidcap evidence of every man in the water basketball challenge except Troyzan and Matt. We do have evidence of Troyzan in the Coco Connection Sling Shot Challenge that has yet to take place... Leaving only this person, not seen in any future challenges...MATT...the tribe is going to speak... ...you are going to be TOAST! We have seen Colton wielding his HII and gathering his misfit minions, who are delighted by this turn of events. I think it just may be a 5 - 4 vote. Matt puts the pressure on Troyzan to vote with them, but as Troyzan notes, It aint Survivor unless you're lying The FUTURE I have really been trying to figure out who will be booted prior to the water basketball challenge.Volcanic Glass has been so kind to help me with some amazing vidcap work...here are the girls and guys in their bathing suits... I have gone over and over and over the water basketball challenge. I have always noted that it is all speculative, and if I posted it, perhaps others with their own perspectives could help solve this mystery. Thanks to Benson at Sucks for noting that he/she believed that the woman approaching from the left was indeed Christina. This led me to go back and examine the video of the Leif promo. I really didn't believe it was Christina because she seemed so much further away, and her bathing suit bottoms looked different. Upon further examination, I believe that the girl approaching could indeed be Christina. Clearly, the girl has ties on her bathing suit, as Monica and Chelsea do as well. Here is the great progression of the video, thanks so much Volcanic Glass! I have changed my mind a bit. On Jiffy's right, to the left of the frame, in front of the blue banners, Salani... Starting at the far left of the group of 4, moving toward Jiffy: Jay, Troyzan, Chelsea, Kim Since there are 4 standing on the right of Jiffy, it is reasonable to assume that there are 4 standing on the other side, in front of the Manono banners as well. I believe that (Left to right) Bill, Colton, Jonas, and Greg. Then we know that there are three Manono's in the midst of the challenge...Christina, Alicia, and Leif. (Yes, I am now thinking that the girl that Sabrina is holding just could be Alicia!). So, if there are 3 for Manono, there must be three for Salani...Michael, Sabrina, and ....(AMAZING FIND FROM VOLCANIC GLASS)...note the face on the very far right of the frame! ...I believe it is KAT that is helping Sabrina with the unidentified woman holding the ball in the orange buff...(Alicia?) Look at the blonde hair, and when you view the video, you can see her dark eyes. I do believe it is Kat. Which, makes me think the girl standing with the four standouts for Salani is Chelsea. Here is who I think is participating in this challenge: Salani/blue: Jay, Troyzan, Michael, Chelsea, Kim, Sabrina, Kat Manono/orange: Bill, Colton, Jonas, Tarzan, Leif, Alicia, Christina It is 7 vs 7. Considering that the boots to date are: Kourtney, Nina, and Matt, but Monica is not accounted for. So there are 2 possibilities: 1. Monica is gone because she is booted in episode 4, and the water basketball challenge is the IC in ep 5. If this is the case, then the Coco Connection Sling Shot challenge will be the IC in ep 4, Boys win, Monica voted out. Shuffle is in ep 5. 2. Monica is the sit out for the Manono tribe and not seen, and the water basketball challenge is the IC in ep 4. Coco Connection Sling Shot Challenge will be the RC in ep 4. So far, that's where I am at. Thanks Benson, and especially thanks to VG! Now, go and vote in the Vote Thread. Don't forget to visit Veruca in the The Players, The Game, The Editing Thread.
