Thanks to Survivor Fever for pictures and transcript for next week's episode: ****************** Transcript: Jeff Probst: Next time on Survivor...
Phillip: I'm truly blessed. Probst: Phillip has his greatest day, yet.
Rob [camera confessional]: While Andrea could be scheduled for an early departure.
Matt [camera confessional]: I'm just so over this game, man Jeff: And Matt plumbs the darkest depths of his soul. Matt: I'm out here wasting away. God has literally been carrying me. .............................................
Julie Arrives at Redemption Island Julie: Here I am at Redemption. I was not expecting this. I really thought it was going to be Steve or Ralph. I'm okay with it. It just was an ugly Tribal. There's poison in that tribe and his name is Phillip and it's kinda nice to be removed from it. Julie: Arrrrgggggghhhhhhh! I didn't scare you guys?

No written Blog from Jeff this week, unless later I find that some poor soul takes it upon themselves to transcribe the verbal one. SquidProQuo at Survivor Blows made this statement, and I couldn't do it any better myself, so I'll just quote: ****************************** "Jeff's trying something new this week, a "video blog" vs. the usual written one. Unfortunately nothing here about the TC twist. The only interesting tidbits to me are: - Acknowledgement of Natalie for saying it hurts her to see both Steve and Phillip feeling bad about their fight. - Jeff says he'd be on the bandwagon to bring David back another season because he feels he has more game. - Knocks Julie for hiding the shorts and taking joy in doing so." http://www.www.jeffprobst.com/

Jeff must be annoyed he has to see Phil in his flamingo granny pants for the rest of his stay. I know I am.

I haven't even seen Jeff's video blog yet and already I'm not a fan. I've been trying to go to his page all morning but can't get it to load - I'm assuming that everyone watching the video is overloading the system.

I have yet to see it either, Merrysea, and for the same reason. Actually I've given up, and hope that the word gets back to him that more of us are getting it being able to cut and paste a typewritten one to our posting sites...that way we can share. This verbal thing is for the birds. Meanwhile, in an interview with EW (Entertainment Weekly) Jeff is quoted as saying: "a twist at TC will catch everyone off guard," which seems to hint of a double boot. Posters at Survivor Blows are discussing it, and they seem to think the Family visit is coming soon and we have too many players at this point for a typical Family visit. So, they seem to think next week will be a double boot, and this quote from Jeff seems to support that. It just looks like the 2nd boot will come as a surprise to them. So ... right now, their way of thinking is that Rob is in control and either Ralph (Rooster) or Steve will get voted to RI, and with the surprise boot and Rob not being in control, those that have had enough of Phillip might just vote him off as the 2nd boot, especially if either Steve or Ralph happen to be wearing an IN. Not enough pictures yet of any challenge...so more later!

I'm not a fan either. Some of us are under FAP restrictions & videos over 3 minutes eat up too much bandwidth.

The zillion hits on his blog crashed the site earlier today. It's working now. He did not like the theft of the shorts - Survivors have so few personal possessions, that stealing/hiding items of clothing is just not good (paraphrasing). I wonder if he felt that way when Russell burned the socks early in his first season. He also said that in the final episode there will be *8* people still in contention for the $1 million (so you can probably do some math).

There is a new video out of the challenge.... ********************* It is log-rolling. Also, Jeff throws a wrapped-up package at the group on the bench and Steve catches it, and later it shows the package sitting at camp and Rob is telling Grant that it can only mean one thing ... a twist at the TC since they were told to bring it to TC with them. Maybe tomorrow, somebody will have got still shots of the challenge and we might figure out who won immunity...or at least get an idea of some of the ones who didn't.

Now we have the pics and transcript I was talking about. ****************** Transcript: Announcer: After 21 days on Redemption Island... Matt: God's literally been carrying me. Announcer: Has Matt finally broken? Matt: I'm just so over this game, man. Announcer: And... Phillip: Dabba do dat. Hey! Announcer: ...Phillip gets kookier by the day. Steve: He's a different breed. Announcer: How has he managed to survive? Rob [camera confessional]: As long as he keeps up his stupid antics he's under my protection. Announcer: But will a surprise twist...
Jeff Probst: (tosses something to Steve) Bring it with you to Tribal Council. Announcer: ...change the game completely?
Rob [talking to Grant]: I don't understand why there has to be a twist. I hate twists. ******************* Ginger: Jeff tossing the surprise package to Steve is after the immunity challenge. The immunity challenge is shown to be a log roll. In the picture above with Steve catching the package you see Phillip, Ralph, Steve and Natalie ... so I'm going to say they are out of the competition.
This picture shows that Rob is up against Grant. There is another picture of Phillip rolling against Natalie, and in the background you see Ralph sitting, waiting his turn, sitting next to Ashley. I would think that Ashley and Andrea are a better match to compete, and Steve and Ralph would be a match. Or maybe Rob and Grant have already competed against Steve and Ralph and are now, in this picture, breaking the tie. My money would go on Grant to win this one!

Maybe the producers decided that an 'intervention' of locating the shorts was involved. They were the only ones who would have known exactly where she put them. After all, it probably gets tiring having to fuzz out nearly every shot he would be in going forward.

Plus, he might have to actually wash them at some time, so what does he wear while they are drying out (LOL).

The thought of him putting them back on and wearing them wet and clingy brings a frisson to my spine!

Are we sure those are not Rob's shorts he is wearing? I thought I remembered Phillip's shorts that Julie stole off the clothes line as being khaki-colored.

Here's Phillip in Episode 6, where he is saying he is the "red-headed stepchild".
Also ... look above and you will see Phillip wearing his trunks on the bench, and Rob wearing his trunks on the log. I don't think they went back and forth changing trunks, so it looks to me like Phillip has his shorts back. Maybe he found them. Maybe somebody else found them. Maybe one of the cameramen pointed it out to a player (doubtful). Or maybe Julie hollered it out to Phillip at the RI challenge.

New from posters over at Survivor Blows: **************************** The scuttlebutt is that it looks like Andrea wins immunity.
Here is Jeff tossing the mystery package over to the losers on the bench. Just to the left of Jeff you can see blonde wet hair with a thin black band in it. Posters over there think this is the winner after Jeff has put the IN on her, and then he steps over to get the package and tosses it to the losers. The blonde with a thin black band from previous pictures is:
Andrea This sounds good to me!!!

Thanks to Survivor Fever, more pics and transcript: ********************* Transcript:
Announcer: Rob is the island Godfather [key Italian music in background]
Rob [camera confessional]: One man should not have this much power on an island.
Announcer: Will the other castaways finally wake up and vote him off?
Grant [camera confessional]: Timing is everything in this game.
Announcer: Or is this his year to win it all? Note: This pic is from a previous episode.
And is Phillip the nuttiest player ever or just playing everyone?
Phillip [camera confessional]: Son, you can't stand the truth!

The SOTS (State of the Spoiling) is up at Survivor Blows, done this week by Flowerpower. ****************************** RI - Challenge FP thinks that Julie will take the walk, and Mike and Matt will stay to compete again. IC - log rolling From the pictures, FP thinks that the match-ups will go this way: 1st Round Rob vs Grant - Grant Natalie vs Phillip - Phillip Andrea vs Ashley - Andrea Steve vs Ralph - Steve 2nd Round Grant vs Phillip - Grant Andrea vs Steve - Andrea 3rd Round Grant vs Andrea - Andrea FP think that the mystery package at TC will be something to tell them to vote somebody else off without regrouping. FP thinks it will be easy for the original Ometepe and they will vote off Ralph and Steve (in either order). Next week there will be a foursome at RI to duke it out. Plus 6 at Murlonio, just the right number for a possible family visit???
