Since it is up, I think I'll start with the promo pics and transcript thanks to Survivor Fever: ************************************ Transcript: Jeff Probst: Next time on Survivor...
Probst (starting challenge): Go! Probst: Cochran's at the bottom of the totem pole.
Probst (calling challenge): Cochran getting caught up in a ribbon.
Probst: So he reinvents himself as a working machine. Cochran: New Cochran doesn't follow mommy's advice. Probst: And...Brandon's secret weighs heavy.
Brandon (camera confessional): I felt like I was being dishonest with Coach. Probst: Which awakens the Dragonslayer.
Coach (camera confessional): I think that he has demons. There's going to be an ass whipping.

Regarding the pics from the promo, Flowerpower over at Survivor Blows says: *************************************** "Looks like they have to unravel the pole first. Whitney, Elyse, Dawn, and Cockroach for the Red tribe, while Stacey, Sophie, Christine, and Mikayla unravel it for the Upolu's. Note Edna is on the bench." Since I don't know the players that well yet, I'll take her word for it since she is very good at this. Flowerpower also said: "A couple things to note. Jiffy said that someone is finding the HII this week, and that someone makes a disclosure. Surely, Brandon is going to spill his name. She also mentioned that the previews seem to highlight Cochran and Brandon as the boot choices for episode 2, which is probably the usual CBS Misdirection and both guys are safe.

Okay, I just spent some of my very valuable time (LOL) watching an EW video taken of Jeff on location right after the Episode 1 TC ... an interview with Dalton Ross. In the interview, DR asked Jeff who he thought would win the IC next week and who he thought might be in trouble. The answer was interesting. Jeff thinks that Ozzy's tribe (red tribe) will win the IC in Episode 2 and that either Stacy or Christine will be in trouble. If Coach's tribe wins, he thinks Papa Bear will be in trouble. He really thinks that Cochran is going to turn things around, if he can get more confidence in himself. ********************************* Another bit of possible spoiler value was that in the write-up done by Dalton he said the TC went on "forever", much longer than we saw, and between what he said and Jeff said, it sounded like Cochran would build himself up and then turn right around and say something to shoot himself in the foot ... very analytical guy, but seems not to have the confidence he tries to portray. For show value, they both really like Cochran and hope he sticks around for awhile!

EW.com is not showing anything from him, other than the video I quoted above that Dalton Ross did. At JeffProbst.com, I just checked and the last entry from him was in August .... nothing yet about last night's show. Not a written Blog nor a VBlog (Video Blog). I do know that he does Twitter at the same time the show is on, but I don't do Twitter. Any info he may have given out there will show up in the spoilers and I'll catch them there, like the info that somebody finds the Hidden II clue next week (but didn't say which tribe).

Aha ... over at Survivor Blows somebody else asked the question about Jeff's Blogs. The answer is that he has changed over to Touts. I've never heard of them. Here is Jeff's link for that. tout.com\u\jeffprobst Flowerpower at Survivor Blows watched the Tout and here is what she had to say: ************************** The last thing Jiffy said on his video was that someone finds the HII next week and that there is a drinking game and someone has a big disclosure...can you guess who it is. Clearly, Brandon is going to spill the beans that his uncle is RUSSHELL! What a loser....if you are going to keep your mouth shut, then KEEP IT SHUT! I suppose he wants to take his shirt off.... Edited to add that he was addressing a party of people watching his tout video last night as "drinking game", so there is no drinking that will be happening next ep, but indeed there will be a big revelation. Hello, is Brandon there? He noted that they gave them fishing gear because they are getting no rice this season. They have to get all of their own food. Jiffy said that EVERYONE in the cast knew that Rob had won. They all saw the finale. He says that judging by first impressions that Cochran is not doing very well but he hopes that he can improve his second impressions because he's Survivor gold...he's one of the funniest and smartest contestants we've ever had. (My impression: Judging by the fact that he got the first confessional of the newbies, trust me, he's going to survive for quite a while! .)

Out of curiosity (I have a lot of that), I went over this morning to Survivor Fever to check their "Boot Sheet" for the next Episode. ********************************* Survivor Fever Boot Sheet Summary: Red Tribe: Vulnerable – Dawn, John (Cochran), Mark (Papa Bear) Safe – Elyse, Jim, Keith, Ozzy and Whitney Blue Tribe Very Vulnerable – Rick (that means at this point they think he is next based on spoilers – but so far I can’t see where that came from.) Vulnerable – Christine, Edna Mae, Stacey Safe – *Albert, *Coach, *Mikayla, *Sophie Very Safe – *Brandon *These 5 players formed an alliance in Episode 1, sitting on the beach together … named “The Stargazer” alliance. I didn’t hear that name in the show (maybe it was said) or maybe that comes up later and is a spoiler.

Huh, wonder what is up with putting Rick on the Very Vulnerable list? As far as I could tell he pretty much won that immunity contest for them by single-handedly pulling Brandon up the ten foot wall. Kid was just too small to ever have made it alone, but he is not a lightweight either. I didn't even know who that guy was but decided to look for him in future episodes.

I may be wrong, but I think Albert, not Rick, pulled Hantz 2.0 over the wall.

Went to CBS to the recap but it didn't say who pulled Brandon over... But, at Survivor Blows, Flowerpower was doing a blow-by-blow discription of the challenge and threw in there that Albert and Rick, the strongest were first on the wall per Coach's strategy. The other team was boosting their weakest up first. Then she says that Albert pulled Brandon up and over. Rick dug up the machete and hacked the ropes. The only reason I have found so far as to why Survivor Fever has Rick as Very Vulnerable is that a spoiler somewhere (I think it might be Sucks) has said that Rick is the first boot. Well, Semhar was the first boot, but then they don't count going to Redemption Island as being a boot. And...I just cannot imagine Semhar beating Rick in a challenge at Redemption to wind up being the first boot. Regardless, I think that is why they are showing him as Very Vulnerable, and as soon as that spoiler shows up to be a piece of cr*p, they will probably change it. And...........Hantz 2.0.........has me ROFLMAO!

Okay ... I went a step further and did something I don't usually do, and read more stuff over at Survivor Sucks. I usually wait til Survivor Blows mentions good stuff from Survivor Sucks, because there is a lot at Survivor Sucks, I have problems reading being the little old lady that I am (LOL). Anyway........regarding Rick being the first boot, this is some of the talk I picked up over there....and it does not mean it is legit. Only after Episode 2 will we know if the spoiler list put out by a poster there has any merit, and that will be if Rick gets sent to Redemption Island, and Semhar beats him at the challenge, and he, in fact, does become the first boot. If so, then a lot of posters at Sucks and elsewhere are going to have to take it for granted that the boot list this guy posted has merit...and if so, I'll be putting it in the spoiler thread for the whole season after the show, and after I get back from my trip (will be gone Tuesday to Saturday this week). How can Rick be the target? Posters at Sucks have mentioned two things. One - Rick cut Coach up pretty badly in his application video and it was made available and was probably seen by Coach, so Coach may have a Bulls-eye on Rick, already. Also, Rick was the Fans Favorite with Sears and won the Sears spot to come on the show, and CBS makes this available. Again, Coach probably knows this and just has to spread it on thick that Rick is a threat for Fans Favorite. This all sounds wishy-washy to me this early in the game, but it's speculation and rationale as to why Coach and/or the blue tribe might target Rick. I say there is probably something we haven't seen yet that will air in the show to make it more clear, if in fact it is Rick. Maybe he gets hurt or sick and it is a pity vote ... who knows. And, at this point, who knows that it is Rick anyway other than that spoiler poster over at Sucks. Plus, Rick is the oldest person on the blue tribe and the younger ones don't know that he has stamina from his lifestyle. Many times the older ones take the hit! Frankly, if the blue tribe goes to TC I would think that Stacey or Christine would be more of a boot choice.

More pics and transcript are up over at survivor Fever, but the transcript is short and doesn't really tell us anything. However, Flowerpower, over at Survivor Blows has captured some pics of her own from the new preview footage that aired today, and this is what she has.
At the Maypole, look at the top and you can see a key on a ring.
The key on the ring must unlock phase two which is a slide puzzle. It appears that Ozzy and cohorts have finished the puzzle and Ozzy is motioning for the rest of the tribe to join them on the mat for the win.
Here is the rest of the red tribe running to join them on the mat for the win, and you can see the 2nd half of the blue tribe still waiting for their cohorts to solve the slide puzzle and summon them to their mat. No doubt the red tribe (Savaii - Ozzy's tribe) wins this one. Not 100% sure if it is for reward or immunity, but leans more to the difficulty of an immunity challenge (possibly with reward to go with it). The analyzers are still trying to find the Immunity Idol in the pictures, and Flowerpower thinks she sees a little table off to the side of the mats, which probably holds the little guy, but it's just not a clear picture. Which again leaves us with Upolu is more than likely headed to TC and there are 9 potential booties! Stacey and Christine were mentioned as being in danger by Jeff. Rick has a spoiler that says it is him (but is the spoiler valid)? That's it for now!

Thanks, Ginger! Huh! I never even knew Sucks and Blows are different boards, LOL. I rarely go to either one, just when following a link somebody has posted to there. Do the boards look just alike to the casual observer?

Nope...... Survivor Blows is the name from a long time ago, and now it's realitytvworld.com, but that's where I really like to visit and find more info for you guys that don't have time to visit there and other places. Survivor Fever is where I go to get the transcripts and pictures, and Survivor Blows gets the same from Survivor Fever or elsewhere and analyze them. I love to see what they come up with, and it's usually pretty good ... because they use more than pics and transcripts. They use past performance, and hints that Jeff makes, and who's friends with who on Facebook and My Space, and things I can't even think of ... plus who had the most face time, and who had the most confessionals. It's really mind boggling all the stuff they do to figure it out and then speculate on the outcome for the next week. When there are spoilers out there just giving everything away, the analytical ones just kinda back off and go away and I really, really, really miss that aspect of it. Sucks is a different website and they have foul language, and they have fights on there, and they have people trying to mislead you, and I rarely go there...it's not my cup of tea. I only went there this time because I was trying to figure out why "Rick" has a bullseye on his back, and Sucks seems to be the place where it originated. If the guy on Sucks has given a valid boot list, then the analytical ones at Survivor Blows will fade down in their work, and I will really miss that. I'm hoping that Rick is nowhere near being the boot in Episode 2 and that the guy at Sucks will be proven to be wrong, because then it will be much more fun not knowing except from analyzing pics, etc. The places I visit to bring stuff to TVCH are Survivor Fever first, Survivor Blows second, Survivor Skills third, TDT, Survivor Phoenix, and lastly Survivor Sucks. The one good thing at Survivor Sucks is the transcripts of the Insider (those are transcripts of the videos at CBS of confessionals that didn't make the show the previous week).

(LOL).........I'm back, about an hour and a half ago, and checking in. So tickled to see I was missed. Give me a chance to catch up and check out a few things, and I'll open the other thread and fill it up......... The trip was so fabulous and my Mardi Gras Court of ladies (I'm the Ball Captain) bonded beautifully. The only casualty was my cell phone which went into the hot tub when I went in with my clothes on cause I knew they would not be expecting it, and I forgot I had the cell phone in my pocket. Half and hour later, I found it......too late to help!!! So........now I get a new on (YEA!!!)
