Flowerpower, over at Survivor Blows, has done the SOTS (State of the Spoiling) thread this week and it is up today. Based on her (and other's) analysis of the clues and pictures, her speculation is: ******************************* There will be two separate challenges and TC's. Matt is already at RI. Rob will win the 1st challenge where there are 11 players starting and it is done in heats: 1) 11 competitors - dig up mallet and break tile, 2) 6 competitors - retrieve puzzle pieces and solve puzzle, 3) 3 competitors - looks like a 3-D solution thing, and then more we can't see.....but appears from the blurry TC picture that Rob has the IN, so Rob wins the challenge. The win is also for reward and she speculates that Rob will probably take Mike and Phillip on reward with him. She speculates that a Zapatera will get sent to RI, and her best guess is Mike (the best competitor on the Zap tribe. Next should be a RI challenge between Matt and ???. Who wins - ???. If it is between Matt and Mike, that's really good competition. The 2nd challenge is a challenge that says you can choose to play for immunity or sit out and eat. Flowerpower thinks all the Zaps will play. She thinks that Phillip and the girls (maybe not Andrea) will sit out and eat. If Mike has been booted, she thinks Grant will probably run away with a win. At the next TC, who gets sent to RI? Flowerpower thinks this is where the Ometepes will cut Phillip lose. He is too wishy-washy, might switch sides and probably knows he is on the bottom of the pecking order. He has to be baby-sat with most of the time (by Rob). And the girls can't stand having him around. Anyway.......that's the way the SOTS looks this week.

Finally have an idea of what that second challenge will be. Here are 3 pictures of the Dreamteamers practicing it. *******************************
Jeff has already announced at an EW interview that the competitors will be offered food to sit out or drop out.

Checking in over at Survivor Blows to see how the posters are voting after reading the SOTS for the week. ********************* There are only 5 votes in so far, but only 1 of them agrees that Phillip will be the 2nd one voted out. The other 4 think it will be Mike first and then Steve second. Also, Mike and Steve both have a good chance of upseating Matt at RI, so we may be seeing him leave for good.

I don't think that Rob will vote Philip out unless Philip moves to the other side. Annoying as he is, Philip would be the perfect person to sit next to in the finals.... and Rob would know that.

I think that if it is in Rob's best interest for his continued preservation in the tribe he would do it...he knows that hanging onto Philip is a dangerous move.

If Philip is a vote for the other side, Rob needs to get rid of him in order to get to the finals.

Would Philip then be the first member of the jury?

Then he would have nobody but himself to complain about...except the poor staff!

If the spoilers were right near the beginning of the season, before everything started to bottle up .... ***************************** Then we are to expect a 7 member jury plus a final 3. That's 10 players. We started with 12 at the merge, and Matt went to RI ... but he is still there, so virtually, right this minuter there are 12 contenders for those 10 coveted spots. The next two people to get defeated at RI will not be on the jury, if the 7 jury plus F3 is correct!

I think that they will keep 2 people at the Ponderosa so that if anybody quits like last year they will be booted and not be part of the jury. After what NaOna (sp) and her gal pal did last year they created RI so that they would always have a 7 person jury and not have to include any whimps that quit.
