Auntie ... go look at my post on 10/20 at 6:06 and look at the explanation of the challenge. It appears that everything is done is twos, so it's possible they were told ahead of time to pair off when they received the paint and the treemail???
Not really sure why they are painted alike!

Thanks Ginger. I thought I might have missed a post that would explain it. I'm always a day late and a penny short. LOL

By the way, I want to thank you soooooo very much for all the spoiling and posting you do. You may not get feedback from everyone (including me!) but it is appreciated!!!!!!!

Thanks, Sea, for fixing the title for us ... and the kind words.

Here's some cut and paste stuff from the interview with Elyse that was done by RNO (Reality News Online) that gives a little insight.
I'll highlight in red the things I think worth making a note of.}
*****************************
RNO: What exactly was your relationship with Ozzy?

Elyse: It was exactly what you saw on the show. There was no romance, nothing like that. We were buddies. It was totally platonic, we had stuff to talk about, had common ground, our past had funny things in common – it was never anything like him and Amanda. I was one of the bros, which is what made me feel really comfortable. I usually make closer friendships with guys than I do with girls.

But I did know that was a very dangerous place to be – to be aligned with the person I believed was the strongest player in the game.

RNO: I was actually going to ask you that – so you did know that aligning yourself so closely with the person who was viewed as the tribe’s leader could be dangerous?

Elyse: I didn’t think it would be so dangerous, so soon. Of course there’s a little bit of everybody looking at him and he’s the leader and the one to beat, but I remember Ozzy saying in the beginning, “We gotta get rid of Jim.” Retrospectively, we should’ve listened to Ozzy!

I thought the projection that I had of the way the game was going was accurate enough that it wouldn’t be an issue, and he felt very confident about our being teamed up and that put me at ease as well so I felt very confident about it. As you saw, Ozzy was not pleased with what happened. He lost the person that was going to pull for him ‘til the end – and I would have. And he had two people he thought were with him were not.

RNO: Why do you think your tribe voted you out instead of just taking out Ozzy directly?

Elyse: Ozzy was the provider. Ozzy is the reason we ate; Ozzy built the fire; Ozzy told us about things to eat and not to eat; he had a very casual but strong presence in the group dynamic. Everyone kind of respected him for being a returning player and because he has done this before. To take Ozzy out instead of me would have been to the disadvantage of the tribe. [Contrast this with] last season when they got Russell out, that was probably to the tribe’s benefit.

RNO: Did Ozzy tell you he had the hidden immunity idol?

Elyse: He did not! Which is interesting because he did tell Keith. I was surprised to hear that because I know that in conversations before, I had said, “I’m not going to ask you if you have an idol, but if you had one would you tell me?” And he said, “Yeah, I think I’d tell you.” But I never did ask him directly – maybe I should have.

More interview by Elyse from another source:
*****************
Is there anyone that you don't want to win?
Elyse: I don't want to sound like a cry baby but Jim ... you and your big used-car salesman smile, and your cheesy pick-up lines, and your stupid stories! I wouldn't be writing him a million-dollar check any time soon.

Speaking of Jim, I assume you've heard that he's actually in the medical marijuana business, and not a teacher?
Elyse: I did! Holy marijuana! I remember sensing something was a little fishy when he said he was a high school science teacher and I told him I minored in biology. And then I realized I should have doubted him and called him out on it publicly when he couldn't tell me the boiling point of water.
**************************************
And then from another source we have this which blows my mind, cause I don't know if it's to be a final two this time, or if the interviewer messed up and Elyse just followed suit: (note: I'm going to have to do some snooping around and see if I can get a definitive on this final 2 versus final 3 thing.)

Was your relationship with Ozzy romantic at all? Did you have plans to go to the final two together?
"It definitely wasn't romantic - there weren't any feelings on either side. It was definitely very friendly and his personality was the one that I just meshed with the best out of everyone on my tribe. You naturally gravitate towards certain people and temperaments and he happened to be the one I got along with the best. I know it looks convenient 'cos I think he's the strongest player in the game but regardless, I think we would have gotten along.

"We didn't ever say final two. That was always kind of ambiguous and it was one of the funny parts of the game. Whenever the details got specific, people kind of tried to back off. No-one takes into account that it can't be four or three, it'll be two. So you just kind of live in the moment. So beyond me trusting him when he told me he could take me far in the game, there was no talk about going to the final two."

So far, the only calendar I'm finding is over at TDT, and they are showing a Final Three.

Frankly, I think the interviewer in the above post was off-base, and Elyse just took it from there.

In her interviews, when asked about her strategy coming in, she said she had not watched much of Survivor prior shows, so didn't have a strategy except to just play it by ear and make it up as she went along. She probably has no idea about F2 or F3, and just took the interviewers lead there.

She also says that since this season has aired, she has not watched because she cannot stand the tension of not-knowing, and since she was involved, it is stressful. She plans to watch it in it's entirety after it is all over.

So.........I think it is still F3.......but if I hear differently, I'll come back and correct myself.

Ginger, that was my first thought about F2 vs. F3 - that Elyse was "recruited" and had never watched the show before so she didn't know any different.

Here are the CBS Press Release pictures:
**********************
1
Definitely looks like they are painted to be paired off.

2
Looks like Ozzy is paired off with Whitney, and not Dawn as I had first reported.

3
Picture of Christine and Mikayla battling it out at RI. Cross between the side poles using just
planks to move yourself along with.

4
Solve a puzzle at the end.

We already know from Maxx who wins this challenge.

I would have surely had my money on Mikala to beat Christine - glad my bookie doesn't take reality show bets!

Is something going on with Ginger? She hasn't posted in here the last few days and I don't remember her saying anything about going away?

(LOL) Too funny, Roxie!!! I'm getting told over in the games section that you are looking for me.

I've been checking around, but just don't have anything new to report. The SOTS (State of the Spoiling) over at Survivor Blows says exactly what we already know.

But, glad to know I was missed........thanks!

But did he beat Christine? That doesn't really mean anything anyway, so what if he told Christine his reasons, she's going to do her best to stay anyway. I hope she wins. I just want to jump to the end, lol, I don't want to go on this ride, not a fan of this season.
