LAST EDITED ON 01-14-04 AT 11:22 AM (EST)This is going to possibly be a VERY interesting episode. We have two spoilers that seem to completely contradict each other.
First, we have the Occidental Tourist (kinda like Survivor, huh?). That spoiler helped us correctly identify Ananda as the first boot. YAY for the majority of us!
Anyway, Keisha wasn't seen either. Logically, it would make sense that she is the second boot.
However, the famous Ananda Previews seem to contradict this idea. Here's what I saw in this short clip:
It appears that Ananda is throwing balls at the players. These players include Tracey, Keisha, Angie, and Dennis who are holding waiter's trays. There is a chance that Dennis is actually Mark, but appearance and height makes me believe that the fourth person is Rodman. Behind Ananda is Stephen Baldwin, who is bending down to pick up some green balls. I also noted some balls being tossed back toward Baldwin's bin that he was reaching down to.
Perhaps a third party is involved, and possibly a fourth, who retrieve the green balls. Perhaps Corbin and Mark are offscreen?
However, logically you could argue that maybe Corbin and Mark are offscreen, near Tracey and company instead. This is the dilemma. Anyway, to get back to the point.
Tracey Gold- SAFE
Dennis Rodman- SAFE
Angie Everhart- SAFE
-Based on their sightings in Mexico, and their involvement in the game still.
Mark Curry- TROUBLE?
Corbin Bernsen- TROUBLE?
-I should not be surprised if either of them are executed, because of their absence in the Ball Game.
Stephen Baldwin- BIG TROUBLE?
-Although he was sighted, his positive ID in the mysterious Ball Game really distinguishes him as a possible boot.
Keisha Knight Pulliam- TOAST?
-Just the opposite of Stephen. Fulfills the Occidental Tourist, but is in the Ball Game.
I am forced to pick Keisha though for two reasons. Not sound, but I have to play the percentages.
1. There are too many variables to predict how this Ball Game will be played. Remember last year? Had they showed Stephen Baldwin and Erik Von Detten together during the Boat Game, we may have come to the same conclusion. Perhaps Stephen is going for an exemption or something like that.
2. I don't trust ABC's editing anymore. Remember the "Erik is a genious" stuff for the finale. We all started picking him, instead of Kathy as the winner, even though they NEVER actually ended up airing that line. ABC may just be misleading us in this case.
However, I am still VERY confused. When does this game happen? The previews and execution quiz don't even mention this game AT ALL. So, do we need to wait for Episode 3? But by then, there would be TWO executees, so why bring back just Ananda? The ball bouncing back toward Ananda makes me wonder another executee is involved, making Keishia safe this week.
So, it's up in the air. If the Occidental Tourist is right, Keisha goes. If the Ball Game promo is not leading us on, we may have our Final Four.
I'm just gonna stick with Keishia for now. I'm tired of writing. I might change this later.
Alt. Stephen Baldwin
Alt Alt. Mark Curry
Edit: Have y'all noticed how I spell "Keshia" wrong every single time?
