1. "Episode 14, Preview Promo..."
LAST EDITED ON 05-12-11 AT 07:17 AM (EST)

Thanks to Survivor Fever:




























Transcript:

Jeff Probst: Next time on the special two hour Season Finale, everyone has a plan to win it all.

Natalie : It's the three of us til the end. Promise you.

Probst: But someone will return from Redemption Island...

Mike : Three will fall, one will remain.

Probst: ...and it puts everybody in jeopardy.

Rob : It's pretty big stakes.

Phillip: All good things must come to an end.

Probst: Sunday, May 15th.

So, the preview looks like Natalie will choose to stay faithful to Ashley...she notes to Ash, "I promise"....while we see them together glancing at each other at the duel. Is it Ashley's plan to align with the RI returnee and take out Rob? We hear Jiffy say..."it puts everybody in jeopardy, and then there is a shot of Rob, who confirms the stakes.

Then Phillip notes that "all good things come to an end", implying that Rob has been in control for the whole game, and now it's ending for him, short of the final 3....

This is the misdirection this week. Rob is the boot decoy. Because, he has the HII. He is finally going to play it, IF, he's vulnerable, bouncing another.

Possible foreshadowing for Mike...three will fall, one will remain. He'll fall. I agree, Matt has been marked for the F3 from his first early confessional. He's on the journey, he'll get there and fall short, imo.

Rob has made it, he's landed in the final 4 with 2 lazy spa girls and a goat....we'll see

This stood out as soon as they showed it last night: Matt is returning for sure.



Natalie promising to stand with Ashley is misdirection because we have our Final 3 presented here:

Maybe yes, maybe no. It might be two of the F3 linked together, while Rob who brought them together is in the shadows, fallen out of it.

I wonder if this occurs after Ashley is gone, and Matt is still in it, just not hanging with them.

I think it is likely enough that Ashley will get bounced by the idol.
Rob received a very strong edit for fan favorite tonight. If he wins the game, he does not need an extra 100K; if he loses, they will want him to have it.

Surely you jest! Just because Rob announced way-back-when that he'd have a final-3 of Phillip & Natalie? And just because the "original" theory of that F3 dreamteamer shot was Natalie, Rob, and Phillip? And just because Rob said he'd toss Natalie onto his back and drag her to the end? And just because the "best" winning solution, created back in 2001, is to have the Fox bring a Goat and Bunny to the F3/F4? And...

Oh. Right right. I see it now. Got it.

28. "RE: Episode 14, Preview Promo..."
There is that but there was also this at the start of episode #4 and what I wrote about it:

Natalie: “This morning, while everybody was trying to sleep, Phillip was up at the crack of dawn, sweeping. He’s just a pain in the butt. He is so annoying and he’s so weird.

This confessional seemed very important to me. Normally, we would have gone to Zapatera after the first commercial break, to see the aftermath of their history-making decision but we had to get a character story on Ometepe instead. That is very enlightening editing manipulation.
Natalie’s confessional, coming immediately after the repeat of her original comment where she said that Rob was amazin... I felt that Natalie just told us who would be there with her all the way to the end: Rob, who says he wants to drag her there, and Phillip whom she will have to endure all the way!

True. You had Rob pegged as the winner (and Natalie/Phillip as the sidekicks) since very, very early this season. I lost my way last week when I predicted that Phillip would be booted next. This should be an easy final episode to predict now.

Natalie doesn't looked thrilled in this shot. Could this be post-Ashley boot, where she ended up voting out Ash?

What is the "surprise of the century"? Rob finally playing the idol that no one knows he has? It wouldn't be a surprise to us, but it would be to the contestants.

Samboohoo, in the VO, it says can Phillip pull off the surprise of the century, so it's clearly referring to him. Phillip has said that he has a plan to beat Rob in the F3, so I guess they're playing off that. Here's what Jeff says in his blog:

"If Phillip wins, it means that we will have witnessed one of the most amazing final episodes in the history of our show. The only way he wins is if he reveals that his “former federal agent” and everything that came with it was all a big con."

Thanks. I didn't have the benefit of hearing the VO. Maybe that's why we've been seeing a question mark behind "Former Federal Agent" all season.

LOL. During the episode last night, I kept thinking they were calling him "Chef," instead of "Shep."

samboohoo, the VO is posted with the vidcaps. ;)

Probst addressed the question mark after Phillip's former occupation in his appearance on 'The Talk'. When asked why it wasn't vetted before the show filmed, Probst responded that all Phillip could furnish were documents that could have been created at Kinko's, hence the question mark. Apparently, Phillip stands by his assertion that he is a former federal agent and has said he will prove it at the Reunion.

LOL. Oh lord.

I get that, and I don't know really that it means anything. I just think it would kind of funny. I think there's been a contestant or two before who had one occupation listed when they were something else completely. They could have left it as Former Federal Agent without the question mark. I wonder what his current occupation is. Don't tell me that's listed in the VO either.

His Linkedin entry says he was a Special Agent from 1986-1989.

He also has a Special Agent Sheppard page where he occasionally blogs about the episodes and misspells people's names (on purpose I presume).

What strikes me in that promo is the VO -- while there are clips of all the people on RI (some from old clips like Andrea in a team challenge) the VO asks who can win: Rob? The girls knock him out? Phillip with the surprise of the century (by revealing his con)? No mention of RI returnee!

Could that mean that the RI returnee isn't in the F3 & thus has no chance?

Boston Rob started tweeting shortly after the show --

I gave it my all this season. If you think I did a good job you can vote for me for player of the season. Text "14" to 81818 up to 10 times.

If he won a million dollars, does he really need to campaign for this too?

Interesting. As you mentioned above, I think Rob's been edited to be the Fan Fave winner. They could have pimped Mike, Matt or Grant a little more in the edit, but SEG clearly wants Rob to win.

This seems logical..and by showcasing Rob..they are also punishing the others for not voting for him. It wouldn't surprise me if they upped the Fan Favourite amount to $1 Million. It will be interesting to see if Rob is as bitter as Russell was and say the game is flawed. I hope he is as gracious a loser (if that's the case), as he would be winner.

Rob has never acted bitter about losing. He might not be thrilled with the Redemption Island twist but I doubt he would criticize it publicly (unless it's done jokingly).

Well Rob won't have to criticize because Jeff will do it for him. His blog last night calls the jury "bitter bitches" and Jeff sure seems like he was in a foul mood when he wrote it, which says to me that his man crush doesn't win.

I'm pretty sure Jeff knows the outcome before the season starts airing, so I'm not sure how we should read his latest blog. It isn't like he just found out who won.

As for his sexist comments -- Jeff is, and has always been, a sexist pig, which is why he loves Russell so much.

Squid....he didn't quite call them bitter bitches...he said, Will they be a bunch of bitter bitches, OR, ...

Here's the quote...

Will the jury be a bunch of bitter bitches intent on punishing the most deserving and rewarding the least offensive? It certainly wouldn’t be the first time. Jury management- it’s the most critical element to this game. Not only do you have to get to the end, which almost always requires betraying someone (before they betray you) but then you have to convince those same people you betrayed to vote for you for the million dollars.

It hurts my head.

I hope the jury rewards the best player, we’re due for a decent winner. Here’s my take on deserving/undeserving.

Funny, that in his take on the remaining daws, he highlights Rob as the most deserving...

This shot of Grant cracks me up! I am pulling for the challenge beast to pull off his most important challenge yet, but don't have much hope based on his edit.


Would they blatantly give us the F3 in the promo? I'm skeptical. Could it be Phillip and Nat burying the hatchet the night after Grant was blindsided? (Ashley out of photo) Or could the RI returnee be in the other part of the shelter since Rob already said he doesn't want to be sleeping with them?


I'm not sure, but is that a red carnation here? Does anyone recall if that came with Ashley's room service? Need to to rewatch -- they're using mostly old caps in these previews so it wouldn't surprise me if it's from room service....but if this is indeed a new vidcap, might be the morning of last breakfast.

ETA: Just rewatched and the red carnation is from Room Service so never mind!

16. "Remaining Challenges"
Per the Call Sheets, here are the remaining challenges:

Last RI Duel: "A Leg Up"
Since the RI duels are all recycled challenges, I've been trying to go back in the Survivor archives and figure out which one this is -- no luck yet, any ideas? I'm hoping it will be an endurance challenge or something epic vs. the lame ones we've been getting.

F5 IC (with returnee): "A Numbers Game"

F4 IC: "Meso Maze"
Sounds like a large maze along the lines of what Jenna Morasco won vs. an endurance challenge. This would seem to be a plus for Rob vs. the spa girls who might do well in an endurance challenge. Then again anyone can win a maze if it's not too physical.

Unfortunately, it doesn't come with a description as it was never used, but it did show up (as an alternate) on the China challenge board...

My thought is that it is an endurance challenge. *crosses fingers*

Tribe, I agree that an endurance challenge would be best: Endurance challenges are often used for final challenges or those considered most important...a leg up sounds like a balancing/endurance challenge...standing on one leg like a stork while balancing?

Hoping we get more clues or vidcaps...

Here's a pic of the first endurance immunity challenge. *sigh* Those were the days. They didn't have their legs in any unusual way. But I do think that was the case for Survivor Africa. Looking for pics from that now...

Editing in the one from Survivor Africa. Could very well be "A Leg Up" - look at their legs...

I hope they bring it back. Simple but great challenge - just comes down to who wants it most...

LAST EDITED ON 05-13-11 AT 11:33 AM (EST)

Thanks Corvis

Here's a description of the S3 Africa chal (from CBS website)

-------------------
Final Immunity Challenge: Hard Idol
"How badly do you want this?" Jeff Probst asked the three challengers as he explained the final Immunity Challenge. With a hand on a wooden idol and their feet on stumps, the group had to hold their positions without moving their hands or feet. The last person standing would win. After two hours and 26 minutes, Ethan lost his balance and fell out of the challenge. As Kim and Lex struggled to keep their positions, the sun rose higher and higher. When the temperature hit 104 degrees Fahrenheit, Lex's stomach problems got the best of him. He couldn't hold on any longer, and stumbled to the ground after three hours and 21 minutes, leaving Kim Johnson to claim Immunity for the second and last time.
----------------------


Also the same chal was used in S4 Marquesas

This last Immunity Challenge comes down to the balance and endurance of the three girls. The old Survivor "stand on the pole and the last one left standing wins" deal. After a few hours, Kathy ends up falling when Neleh kindly (yeah, right!) distracts her by pointing out that her boobs are showing. Vecepia makes a deal with Neleh to step down if Neleh takes her to the finals. They agree, Kathy pulls the knife out of her back, and Neleh gets Immunity.
----------------------

YAY! In Borneo they had to step off their posts every so often and move around the pole while keeping their hands on it, and step up onto a post again, so it doesn't quite fit the leg up description.

Africa and Marquesas, though, seem really on target.

Yay Dabo and Corvis -- I love that challenge! Would love to see it again.

Yoga people do tend to do well in endurance challenges, although Grant really hasn't so far. I think it's going to be an epic duel because all 4 of them are good at challenges and seem to really want it.

P.S. Tribe, great catch from China. I noticed that when I was googling too -- wish we had a description. At first I ruled it out since it wasn't previously used, but maybe for the last one they'll make an exception.

29. "VO - promos"
For quick reference, here are the VOs from all the promos aired.

Of note:
- Mike is the only RI player who is given a voice, though Matt does get an overhead shot;
- neither RI nor the players living there are mentioned in the promos (though they are present in the post-show preview);
- the VO doesn't name Natalie or Ashley, lumping them together as "the women";
- Natalie doesn't get a finalist name card, only Rob (no occupation listed), Ashley (nurse), and Phillip (former federal agent?) do;
- the 10-second promo focuses exclusively on Rob.

55. "RE: VO - promos"
VG: Thanks so much for placing the verbiage here in the promos. I do find it helpful, indeed. The promos all ask, 1. can Rob finally win it all, 2- will the girls take him out, or 3 - can Phillip pull off the surprise of the century...There is only one mention about someone returning from RI...3 will fall, one will return. It is only mentioned in the preview prome...that's it...makes me think that the RI returnee is a non-factor. The greater questions lie within the final 4 Ometepe's. Rob, the 2 girls, or Phillip. Interesting indeed!

Well, we know that the two girls want Rob in the finals. Natalie is getting dragged to the finals on Rob's back (Move over Amber and Lucia She has been Rob's main alliance in the entire show, she wants to go with Rob.

Ashley. She informed us in the Insider Clips that she is planning on getting to the finals with Rob. She thinks Rob will make a fine goat, and the jury will be partial to her, because she's never played the game before.

Phillip. He is fine with Rob getting to the finals, because he has a strategy that can not be beat and he is confident that he can beat Rob.

So, everyone that they mention remaining in the game is good with Rob getting to the finals...leaves me to believe that Rob will get to the F3.

Exactly Dabo. I hate to say it, but I just knew they'd throw in a puzzle or a construction element to help Rob.

The maze part does look very cool.

ETA: Here's the clip for anyone who wants to watch it:
http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/video/?pid=NLBPFnNdxPXF5vZcnhpJKBzxDXekF4tu
Interesting that the male dream teamer had a decent lead over the woman in blue but she won because of the challenge.

No way Natalie will do well on the puzzle part if she's still in at F4. Rob would appear to do the best of the remaining Omes but if the RI returnee is still around they'll give him a run for his money.

48. "RE: F4 IC - Meso Maze"
Yes, from the CBS recap of the final episode of S8:

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: OBSTACLE PUZZLE MAZE
As the four converged for an Immunity Challenge, Jeff Probst explained that they would have to negotiate a maze loaded with obstacles. At the end of each corridor would be a rung to a ladder for each Survivor. The first All-Star to assemble all eight of their rungs, thereby constructing a ladder on a tower, would then get to climb it and claim Immunity.

The Challenge started off in a flurry as the Final Four Chaboga Mogo tribemates hurried into the labyrinth with purpose... It was dead even at five rungs each when Boston Rob became confused in the maze and fell behind...With his final rung in hand, Rupert ran toward the tower just in time to see Amber emerge at the top of her newly constructed ladder to claim the essential victory. Amber Brkich would live to see another day!


So, going back to a labyrinth means the challenge wasn't entirely made for him. They could have had them running on balance beams to retrieve the puzzle pieces!

Thanks VG for posting. Thumper, from ABT, noted that the 4 dreamteamers are 2 men and 2 women. In the past they have used the same sex people that are still remaining in the game. Is this a clue that tells us out of the Final 4, 2 are men, 2 are women...food for thought.

And Squid, I don't think that the puzzle was just for Rob, there is always a puzzle at the end of these things...fwiw.

We know from the call sheets that they did the Meso Maze rehearsal on Day 36. They are rehearsing after the challenge for the day -- in this case the final duel.

The TC was not until night of Day 37, so all they know when they rehearse is that Ashley, Natalie, Rob, Phillip and the RI returnee are the candidates for F4. They don't know which of those five will be gone.

It's something to keep in mind for next season during three day cycles. We can maybe track whether they match genders consistenly, if they keep giving us the sneak peek clips.

Re this challenge, It would seem made for Rob, if he is in it. We've seen women do well in mazes before -- Jenna and Amber pulling it out in the late game, so I don't rule out Ashley, but then again she may not be in it either.

FloPo, I don't think that's true. I can think of 3 seasons where they did an epic maze challenge with no puzzle at the end (Amazon/Jenna Morasco....Heroes vs. Villains....and the All Stars example Michel mentions).

Well, unfortunately it's not the Africa challenge we were hoping for, but it is endurance. You have to hold your foot on a teeter-totter board that holds up a vase -- once your vase drops, you're out:

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/video/?pid=2qSMgYXzb9J4SN7AZGCSMMk0fcv4JaIn

So who has an advantage now that we see it?

P.S. Tribe, I wonder if this is indeed the "Leg Up" leftover from China? The vase seems like something that would fit in with the China season.

Anyone with a lead foot wouldn't be able to keep this up very long, or nervous legs. For all of Grant's yoga stuff, he's lowest on energy just having come from Murlonio and having little to eat. Andrea might have a chance but if it goes a long time muscle strain might give her the shakes, muscle to weight being balanced. Mike did much better at the merge challenge than any of them.

Mike did well in the other endurance challenge and I would probably pick him to go but for the editing of Matt (but he did well against Sarita even with a bad foot)

P.S. Is Andrea a cheerleader/dancer/gymnast type? I know Natalie was but couldn't recall if Andrea was too. If so, that might help her with something like this.

My thoughts f.w.i.w....

The vidcaps that highlight the four remaining daws - Rob, the best Survivor ever, can he win? Will Ashley and Nat make the bold move and vote him out or will the Phillip, the craziest Survivor ever win it all? This is clearly the hype for the first tribal council that we will see on Sunday. My answer to this is that Rob will not be going anywhere -- even if/when the R.I. winner joins them, Rob will not leave. His worst case scenario for the first Tribal Council is that he has to play his HII. It would be a no brainer for the four remaining Ometepes to vote out the R.I. Winner IF that player doesn't have immunity. If he/she has immunity, than Rob can play his idol and I predict (and I've been wrong many times before) he and Phillip will vote out Ashley.

The second Tribal Council will be trickier, but I am assuming that that is when the final four will participate in the Meso Maze. This favors Rob. If Rob wins immunity, I think the three remaining Ometepes will stick together and vote out the R.I. returnee, leaving Rob, Phillip and Natalie as our F-3.

Wonder when this interview took place then. As, Ralph would have had to have learned about Rob's idol at the Final TC -- Rob clearly would have told the Jury that he had it and never needed to use it. Unless Rob doesn't make it to the Final TC. But I can't imagine Rob being at risk and NOT playing that idol. Maybe he doesn't need to use it because he wins both immunities?

Rob clearly would have told the Jury that he had it and never needed to use it.

I don't think Rob would mention to the jury that he found the HII if he doesn't use it. That would tip off Ometepe that he had been looking for it and perhaps had more clues than they were aware of.

ETA: He can't use it at the second TC, only the first.

I'm with you BR.
Saying you had the idol the whole time and didn't use it is opening a can of worms that would be best left sealed.
Specially in an F3 situation, in front of jurors some of whom were from your original alliance, who are already having a hard time wrapping their head around how they got voted out and who's most responsible.

My vote is that Rob never uses his idol. Nor mentions it at FTC.
