Ep7 Evidence
Title:
Mad Treasure Hunt
Next time on Survivor...It's a war of words for two Survivors. But it's nothing compared to the chaos of a hidden idol.

Teases:
* The entire tribe embarks on the craziest idol hunt in the history of the game.
* Also, one castaway showcases their ninja-like skills to sabotage another.

JP hype:
The fallout (from the last TC) is massive. This was a huge blindside that now has a lot of people wondering what does this mean for the game.
But the tease is the “search for the idol” that plays out... You think Tribal was wild? This is nuts. We’re on a roll and it’s not letting up!!

So leading into this week, it's apparent that the New Hidden Idol is the focus of the episode.

The teases contain small nods to 'sabotaging another with ninja-like skills' and a 'war of words between two castaways' which leads me to believe... we're going to see a predictable boot episode but hey! Look over there! It's a Mad Treasure Hunt!

Alas...we continue...

RC:
Run in teams...

It's Team Purple: Trish, Kass, Tasha, Woo and Tony
Vs.
Team Orange: LJ, Jeremiah, Jefra, Spencer and Morgan

The tribes start of on a raft in the ocean.

They race to, up and over a rope-net seesaw.

Then they all try to run a guantlet of floating obstacles.

When they reach the beach, the teams will untie knots holding a chest in place.
Once the knots are undone the teams will carry their chests to a puzzle solving area.

While the puzzle-area is logical, there are no caps describing the "final phase"
As stated elsewhere, there is not enough concrete evidence to call an official winner of the RC. However, with the prospect of receiving a clue to the TPI as a reward, (and the on-paper challenge prowess) it seems as if the Orange Team has this one in the bag.

And because the reward for team Orange probably includes a clue to the location of the Tyler Perry Idol...
(For those unaware, it is a special hidden idol that allows for it to be played AFTER the vote is read at TC.)

...The great but Mad Teasure Hunt is under way!

In the caps provided we see Spencer...

LJ...

and Jeremiah...

...looking for the TPI (Needle in a Haystack).
Included in the search are Tony...

and Tasha looking low AND high...

Along with that we see Woo rushing around and by perhaps using his ninja-like skills, somehow sabotages the search for the idol with this little thing...



Wha? What happened to the ripped-up clue-like message?
Pretty ninja-like, huh?

The reason we see some of the purple team participating in the search is most likely because the clue was shared. Spencer shares with Tasha. LJ shares with Tony.
We also DO NOT see Morgan, Jefra, Trish or Kass looking for the TPI. So, for sure, NONE of them find it.
The initial clue obviusly states something to the effect of finding the idol hidden under/within roots, as everyone who is looking for the idol is looking in a similar appearing combination of under/within roots.
As noted by Flowerpower... Of all of the above locations the one with Tasha looking high...

appears to be the most 'iconic' of an actual hiding place for production.

Now that the idol has been found, it is stated that there is only one other way to keep safe...

Onto the Individual IC:
Endurance Challenge #2
This challenge is called "Keep on Your Toes" In this challenge, each player is going to have a block of wood. They're going to place it on their head and stand inside a wooden frame. We have made these wooden frames with a mathematical equation of their height, plus the length of the wood, plus one fifth of the size of their foot. So this will force them to stand on their toes. As long as their standing on their toes and keeping pressure on the block, they're in the game. Last person standing wins Immunity.





KASS

There is a case to be fought for Morgan, Jefra, Woo, LJ or Trish winning this challenge.
Whether their backgrounds in yoga, martial arts, athletic pageantry or general zen-ness.
But personally, I'm going to give the edge to Woo...
(As his final act of ninja-like sabotage)

(Also because I believe that Woo will make himself a target due to his current IIC winning streak.)

TC Strategies:
With the idol found and the immunity necklace given away it comes time to discuss the potential targets.
What better time to embroil yourselves in a war of words, right?
Currently, #ChaosKass is sick of Morgan. Her disdain for the pouty and petulant pin-up is seemingly a shared thought in the general population too. Tony, Kass, LJ and Woo by proxy all involve themselves in trying to get Morgan to get water for the tribe.
After bearing the bird and mumbling some blurrables, Morgan goes off to get water.
Doesn't she look happy?

All this leading to...

Survivors In Danger for Ep7:

Regardless of how they've split since the last TC, the targets remain on the Nu-Aparri.

Jeremiah ~ Kass ~ Morgan ~ Spencer ~ Tasha

Jeremiah: This guy is like a slow growing fungus. In need of being removed, but constantly getting passed over for larger targets. This could FINALLY be his week to go. Also of note...he's been sending out lots of foreign slautations via twitter recently. Raised social networking is often an indication of coming bootation.

Kass: Immediately removing Kass from the list merely by being the mutineer. Nu-Solana will need to keep Kass close for at least 1 more boot. Also, she isn't dumb enough to go back to Nu-Aparri and cause a tie. "Bag of Tricks" is her chance to swap back.

Spencer: Recalling the recent tweet of his regarding the Tyler Perry Idol any time is a good time for Spencer to go. He's part of the minority, he's one of two stronger males. He has a chip on his shoulder.

Morgan: Where she was off the radar last week, she becomes target #1 this week. The vote this week will depend on which way Kass will be leaning. And while both Spencer and Jeremiah will be on Nu-Solana's list, it will be Morgan that get's them all back in the same boat.

Tasha: Also removing Tasha from the list as she is the strongest lead for finding the TPI.

My Vote:

RC: Orange Team
TPI: Tasha

IC: Woo

Bootee: A Beauty (or A Brain)
Morgan (or Jeremiah or Spencer)

I strive to be right but am often wrong and if you have a different read, please join in.
