>>> We need to keep our eyes open for 2 people possibly sitting out for Salani....it would clue us in as to when the med-evac occurs.

ooh, I hope they let us see that!

Rob did get up, but he may well have afterwards been taken and rehydrated, which we were not shown. Lex was even in the hospital (but that was not shown) and returned. They prefer not to show us things like that. Lindsay in S3 collapsed from dehydration and was shown treated on the spot, but in later interviews she said she was taken to the hospital and rehydrated and then returned.

The contract says that if they miss a challenge they are out of the game, not that they can't leave and get treated, if they are lucky enough to be able to get treated within the right time parameters.

Bruce had the obstruction, yes, but they could have possibly relieved that, but then the medic said his heart rate was too irregular and he could have a heart attack. That's when they pulled him. I forget now, but he may have had a pre-existing heart issue.

Re the infection suggestion, I didn't mean to suggest that was why is heart rate was 120 (and as you know, I am not a nurse)! I more meant that he may have something going on that they visually discover that could be concerning them, but I am only even spec'ing that because of the earlier comments that he had wrapped his leg.

Someone close to me just recovered from one of those lovely infections (here in Hawai'i), and it came from a tiny little prick in the ankle ... two and a half weeks in a medically induced coma trying to get it to respond. He was told after his chances of surviving were only 20%. It amazes me they don't have more problems on Survivor ... they get scraped and go in the ocean, and mud, ... all the things not to do.

Whatever it is, Jeff looks concerned, and I think it will result in someone (probably Tarzan) going, and they will not need to have a double boot this season. I kind of expected one in Ep 6.

We now know that the first five boots did fly out to Fiji, and Nina was there. If the 6th is a med-evac, that explains why not on the plane. That could mean the rest of the group is jury, even if they don't merge yet.
