Transcript:

Jeff Probst: Next time on Survivor...

1
Rob: You got your underwear on?
Phillip: I have my underwear on.

Probst: ...shifting alliances creates strange bedfellows.

2
Rob: Phillip is bugging everyone. So maybe he needs to stay.

3
Probst: And at Zapatera, Russell taught his girls well.

4
Stephanie: We're ready to cause some havoc and chaos.

Probst: So tribe unity crumbles

5
Sarita: David, it's stressful...

Don't have a Jeff's Blog yet, but did find an "answer/question" with Jeff from EW.com:
*************************
Which did you find more intriguing: Russell breaking down and crying after being eliminated, or the way he then snapped himself out of it and went into full bore defiant Russell mode?
Jeff: The breakdown caught me by surprise and showed me how invested Russell is in the game of Survivor. I think that will go down as a very big moment in Survivor history. But I was so delighted to see Russell go out the same way he came in — swinging for the fence. He ate Ralph’s lunch and could quite possibly have given Rob’s tribe a huge advantage come merge time.

Russell also said, “This is my last time playing this game. That’s it. I have nothing else to prove to myself or to my family.” Do you believe him for even one second, ’cause I sure as hell don’t?
Jeff: I think in the moment Russell was sincere and convinced he was finished. You have to remember that he has played the game three times in under two years. It’s a huge toll both emotionally and physically. I think given time to recover he could be convinced to come back and I think he has a great opportunity to turn over a new leaf and play a different way. That could happen, right?

Obviously, a huge part of the episode was the back and forth between Ralph, Russell, and Phillip at the Redemption Island challenge. When you first conceived the idea of letting tribe members come to watch these duels, did you consider not allowing them to interact with the participants, kind of like a jury at Tribal Council?
Jeff: From the moment we decided to let them come to the duels, we knew we wanted interaction. Part of the reason for allowing tribe members to attend was to create more layers of separation from those who were left back at camp. That’s why I always remind them, “Whatever you share is up to you…”

Okay, tease us up for next week, Probst!
Jeff: Next week… one of the best examples of “outwit” I’ve seen in quite a while. You will want to tip your hat to the person behind the feat but you’ll have to do it while wiping away the tears of laughter at how they do it.

For some reason I doubt it because that man can't keep his mouth shut.

That's what I think too. I was thinking that blonde would jump ship and disassociate herself with that nasty Stephanie but that doesn't appear to be the case.

And here's the CBS misdirection for March 16th:
**********************

TWO TRIBEMATES USE THE DUEL AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE VALUABLE INFORMATION WITH THE OPPOSING TRIBE, ON "SURVIVOR: REDEMPTION ISLAND," WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16

"We Hate Our Tribe" - Two unlikely castaways unite over their shared frustration with their tribe members while another castaway hides clues to keep their tribe from searching for the idol, on SURVIVOR: REDEMPTION ISLAND, Wednesday, March 16 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Is This True???..........I don't know!!!
******************

Took this out of Russell's interview with Dalton Ross at EW.com:

Russell: Time will tell if she (Julie) made a mistake or not, but trust me, I’m praying to God that she doesn’t go too far, because I want all my predictions to come true. I told my tribe, “If you get rid of me, Rob will eat you up and spit you out.” They’re weak out there. I would have never thrown a challenge. Never. I should sue every single one of them because in the contract it says you can’t throw challenges!
*************************

I've got to go check out some of the other places and see if anybody does any research of that. I don't know one way or another if you are allowed to throw challenges.

I know other teams have thrown challenges in the past (most notably Ozzie's team in his first season), but I've never heard of anyone being sued or challenging it based on the contract. I'd guess, though, that only CBS could challenge them for breaking the contract, not the person who was voted out.

Plus, if this was in the contract, anyone who stepped down from a challenge when Jeff started offering food would be breaking their contract!

Or, it could explain why we saw on the television show numerous Zapatera members denying they threw the challenge.

Thanks to Survivor Fever - more pics and transcript:
********************

Transcript:

Announcer: In one of the most shocking defeats ever...

Russell [at conclusion of Episode 4 R.I. Duel]: I respect this game too much to go out this way.

Announcer: Redemption Island sends Russell home. Now his two allies...

1
Julie [camera confessional]: Stephanie and Krista, they're just pawns in this big game.

Announcer: ...are own their own.

2
Stephanie [camera confessional]: Hopefully they can see that I'm a good competitor.

Announcer: And, just when you thought Rob was king of the island...

3
Rob [camera confessional]: You gotta hustle if you want to make a dollar.

Announcer: ...look who's about to make a move.

4
Phillip [camera confessional]: Rob is a dictator and I'm waiting to replace the game.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. Evidently Russell didn't read the part of the contract where it said you will be sued if you divulge any information to outside sources. Besides, throwing challenges is part of the game if you want to outlast or outwit.

So, does the question mark after Former Federal Agent (above picture) mean maybe he's not one or is it just poking fun at him always touting it?

Someone asked Jeff on twitter if Phillip was really a former Federal Agent and Jeff said he is asking Phillip to bring proof at the reunion show, LOL!

Private security companies are used to provide security at our federal buildings. They are under contract with Dept. of Justice, Dept. of Defense, etc. My best guess is Phillip worked as a security guard for one of these services at a federal bldg and he considers himself a "federal agent" even though he was not.

I thought I read an article that said he was really a federal agent...but only for a year or two. And it was in some low-end division, like accounting or something.

I read the same article Roxip, and wasn't it maybe back in the 1980s?

Someone linked to Phillip's Linked-In profile, and it showed the job in question, and yes I think it was from the early 90s. It was like Roxip said, I think "Criminal Investigative Division," something like that. I think the question mark is because it's unclear whether a person who works there would be called a Federal Agent in the traditional sense.

I'll see if I can find it.

Here it is:

It's "Defense Investigative Service" and it was 1986-1989. Since then he's been in Sales.

I wish he would have spelled "Defense" correctly on his profile, instead of "DefenCe." I mean... come on... it is misspelled in his profile TWICE !!!
