Okay --- let's bring ourselves up-to-date here in the Episode 10 thread of what the spoilers have to say, and then as the week pans out, see what Maxx has to say and pin it down:
*************************

Right now we think the show starts with back-to-back RI challenges with Ozzy being the victor in both ... Keith goes to Ponderosa, followed by Jim.

Then we have two challenges with two eliminations again ... first Whitney goes to RI, followed by Dawn.

Will be interesting to see how this all pans out, because so far the only one that seems to be 100% right on is Maxx, and he doesn't reveal his spoilers except by episode and over the week-end.

Jeff's weekly interview at Entertainment Weekly (EW.com) with Dalton Ross:
*************************************

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I don’t want to minimize the importance of food out there, but it still amazes me watching people sit out challenges in favor of some grub. Even though Upolu all felt safe, we’ve seen people in the past that felt just as safe and then went home. Also, for some of these huge Survivor fans like Rick and Cochran that have been dying for years to get on the show, don’t they want to experience every last bit of it? What’s your take on this? Is it more important to refuel, even if you leave yourself exposed?

JEFF PROBST: The only conclusion I can draw is that it’s just in your DNA. Some people, like myself, would probably participate in every challenge no matter what because immunity is your only protection in the game. But others don’t have that killer instinct. They see food, they think “I’m hungry. My alliance is strong, why not!” You see it in all aspects of life. I was at the gym the other day and I walked in and saw a guy who I see every day and he was absolutely unrecognizable. He was huge. It seemed to have happened overnight. I asked, “What gives?” He said, “Pills baby.” In one month he had put on 20 lbs. My first reaction was, “Are you at all concerned about the long term impact?” Clearly he wasn’t. I think it’s the same in the game of Survivor. Some people just approach life from a short-term gain point of view. I’m always big picture first, then micro. Then again, maybe one of those who sat out will ultimately win the game and completely disprove this theory.

EW: Speaking of challenges, we saw Jim snap back at you when you announced that, “Jim has no shot at immunity tonight.” But you love that, don’t you? Which contestant qualifies as the lippiest talk-backer in Survivor history? I’m guessing Jonathan Penner may be somewhere in the mix on this one.

Jeff: Penner. Hands down. What was great about Penner was he is such a good storyteller that his lippy replies furthered the story. I miss Penner. I love when people talk back. It also lets me know they hear me.

EW: Coach is clearly playing a great game so far — much better than his previous two outings. Part of that, however, has involved him toning down his eccentricities. We’re not hearing him blurt out highly unlikely survival stories or act insanely jealous when anyone else besides him is seen as a leader. While I’m sure you’re impressed — and, no doubt, surprised — by the quality of his game, as a producer do you also miss having Completely Crazy Coach around?

Jeff: I love the new Coach. He’s evolved. That’s the idea in life, right? You learn, you grow, you adapt, you grow. Grow, grow, grow. I am so happy that people are enjoying Coach this year. I feel the difference. He said something very wise to me days before the filming began. He said, “I learned something valuable last time I played. You can’t expect people to meet you where you are, you have to meet them where they are.” It’s completely changed how he played the game and it’s working. Coach could make it to the end.

EW: As we head to the tease for next week, you told me when filming began that there would be no group duels this season, yet by my math we have three dudes hanging out on Redemption Island. What gives?

Jeff: Yes, I did say that and I was trying to find a simple way to say that generally speaking duels will only be one on one. I think there are two times where we have double eliminations and have to have a 3 person duel. But only the winner stays. The two losers are out. My bad. Just seemed more complicated to explain it the way I just did.

Ginger Note: Okay, sounds as if Jeff clarified that. Instead of a back to back RI duel, it will be a 3 person duel ... winner stays

And ... added to the mix, for clarification and update
*******************************

"Jeff says in his "tout" video that there's another double elimination next week" - quoted from several sources this morning.

So, we know that next week will start with a 3 person duel, winner stays.........and double elimination again.

Well, that didn't take long to find out, did it?

And may I point out that really we are have so called double TCs only from an edit point. At least in this weeks episode they were a day apart.

This leaves them room from a production standpoint with some flexibility on how to present the show to the audience.

Historically the tribes tend to stick together which is probably why they are doing what they are doing because the storyline is not that interesting.

Which brings me to a point, I wish that they would constantly change the tribes to prevent the loyalties from staying together. If I recall they did that in one of the seasons but not to the degree of what I'd like to see.

Tiernet ... if you haven't checked it out yet, there is a little bit about next season over in the general spoiler thread, and you might find it very interesting.

They have often done tribal shuffle (first one was Africa). But not with the RI versions. Wish they would have done it this time.

James Barber at Sucks has done the transcripts of the deleted scenes from Episode 9. The only thing I got out of all the transcripts I thought worth repeating.
**************************
Jim says:

"Cochran's motive, in the history of Survivor, has played the single best third place game of all time. No question. How many people come in here playing for third is another question, but I don't need to go there. He's played the best third place game ever. There's nobody here that wouldn't take him. There's 10 people here, including myself, that would love to have Cochran sitting next to him at the finale. Love it. No Savaii's going to vote for him, and no Upolu's going to vote for him. He's the best third place finisher of all time. Good for him."

Okay ... Maxx Fisher has put his spoilers up over at Sucks, and I will summarize it for you:
***********************

1) There will be a 3-way duel at RI and Ozzy wins, sending Keith and Jim to Ponderosa. (Maxx made fun of using the word duel for a 3-way, and for Jeff telling us they would only have 1 on 1
duels, which obviously isn't true, and then tried to explain it away with a lame excuse last week.)

2) There will be an immunity challenge, then a TC and Dawn gets sent to RI.

3) Then, there will be another immunity challenge right there at TC, and Whitney gets sent to RI. (I believe the spoiler listing in the general thread showed Whitney going before Dawn, so if Maxx corrects himself later on ... I'll bring that over ... but he says Dawn and then Whitney.)

If there is anything else that comes up where he elaborates on anything else he had to say, or the analytical ones at Survivor Blows figures anything, I'll bring it over. I saw a statement at the end of his write-up where he quoted Coach from past seasons and said "Bros before Hos", so I'm wondering if there was a little fore-shadowing in that remark......but I'm not sure it meant anything other than just being a quote.

Description and pics of the immunity challenge during the dream team rehearsal:
******************************

John Kirhoffer: Today we're doing behind the scenes of Price on Your Head which is actually rice on your head. The way this works is each Survivor will have a bean bag, a rice bag that they put on their head. They will put a bowl on their head. They'll fill that bowl full of rice, put it on their head and then they will race up and down over see saws.

1
2
Jeff Probst: Survivors ready! Get set. On your mark. Go!

3
Kirhoffer: They get to the other end where there is a balance beam with a basket on it. They pour their rice into the basket. They make their way back. When they get enough runs and pour enough rice in the basket it will lift a counter weight popping up a flag.
