One Survivor is alienated from the tribe after an outburst that jeopardizes any chance of being in the Final Four. Tempers flare when one tribemate refuses to tell another the whereabouts of some buried provisions. When a tribemate catches two Survivors talking strategy, an altercation erupts that makes everyone realize what's at stake. Working both sides of a divided camp, one Survivor makes conflicting promises going into Tribal Council. Which way will the tribe member vote? And who will make it to the Final Four?

La De Da .... La De Da ...... This is a sketch and the details of a challenge in Episode 13. Don't know if it is for reward or II.
Step 1 - Crawl Through Mud The 18-member "Dream Team" used to test the challenges thought that the first mud crawl was too easy. So truckloads of dirt were brought in to make the mud, um, muddier. And vertical sticks were added for a deeper slither in the muck. Step 2 - Grab a Pig Borrowed from local residents, the pigs were marked so they could be returned to their rightful owners after taping. And since the show is bound by specific animal-handling guidelines, pig throwing is out and gentle tossing of the swine into their stinky pens is in. Which is too bad, says Kirhoffer. "We had so much fun with the pig catching. And we've never hurt an animal on Survivor - well except for the pig that got killed in Australia, but that was different." [Player Michael Skupin slaughtered a wild boar for food.] Step 3 - Solve a Tiki Puzzle For this part of the challenge, a local carver made several identical 5-foot-tall tikis that the show's art department later turned into puzzles. "They drilled a hole down the middle then chopped them up into five or six pieces," Kirhoffer says. Step 4 - Walk a Balance Beam After players decided to crawl instead of walk across the too-narrow balance beam in the September 23 episode, Kirhoffer decided to make this one wider to ensure that players would actually walk the plank. Step 5 - Shoot a Slingshot The store-bought slingshots are dressed up to look rustic. And since this is the final portion of the challenge, the stunt is designed to avoid what Kirhoffer calls "total mission failure." So if players aren't hitting the target after 10 minutes, they'll be allowed to move closer. "We've gotta go home for dinner," he says. ************************************* 'Redemption' Challenge - More Details Has 5 'stages' - Stage #1 has 5 lanes thru the mud crawl...only first 4 to finish crawl advance to stage #2. - Stage #2 has 4 pigs to catch "Pig Sty-10 piglets, 4 marked for catching, rest are decoys" . So each of the 4 contestants at this point has to catch 1 pig. Only first 3 to get a pig into pig pen advance to stage #3. - Stage #3 has 3 puzzle poles (5ft tall) to assemble tiki puzzles composed of 5-6 pieces. Only first 2 to finish advance to stage #4. - Stage #4 has a 10' ladder climb to 2 balance beams (5 inches wide) over a 30'x60' cargo net. Both competitors advance to stage #5. - Stage #5 has 2 shooting tables each with high powered slingshots and ammo. Targets are 2 towers holding 3 tiles, counterweighted pulley system raises fire to to wok atop tower. - Winner is first person (of remaining two contestants) to light wok. - Prize : ?

This "super challenge" has been for the car in the past but it is probably immunity at this point, don't you think?

No......the super challenge has been announced as being the reward challenge. Evidently that chart was in T. V. Guide last week for last week's show by mistake, but it's for this week's show instead.......and in the T. V. Guide it said for reward. It really looks like a good challenge and from the looks of it, I think that would have been a good one for II.

Per the Survivor Insider, words at the voting during last weeks tribal council: Twila: Drama queen to the end (Ami) Eliza: Ami I'm voting for you tonight. This is a very hard vote for me to make because I love you so much but I did make an alliance different from with you because you were trying to vote me out of this game, and I'm sorry and I would rather it be you than me, but I do love you and I'm gonna miss you a ton. (Ami) Scout: You wanted to learn about leadership, I think it would be really important if you learn about shared leadership. Queens get dethroned and lighting will strike a lone tree on the top of a mountain quicker than anything. (Ami) Chris: Ami I've viewed you as a threat from the very beginning, it's time for you to go home and I'm very very happy to see you go home. (Ami) Julie: My vote doesn't matter tonight but I'm awarding it to scout. You haven't had your name written down, so it's about time you did. (Scout) Ami: Well scout you are pretty good at hiding your nasty side, but when your true colors come out you're no part of any rainbow I've ever seen. (Scout)

SUPER SPOILER or just an omission????? In an article written 12/6 for "Media Life" (check Sir Linksalot)....the writer is espousing the good/bad about Survivor finale being up against "Desperate Housewives" on Sunday, and who will win the ratings war..... Well....she says....the remaining four are "Chris , Eliza, Twila, and Scout"...she never even mentions Julie. Do TV writers get inside scoop or early viewings in order to write their articles??? Is Julie eliminated Thursday as Snewser and TDT says??? Or did the reporter just not have all the facts??? mmmmm

I believe the media and the magazines (like T.V. Guide) do get advance clips/articles and considering the time-element for writing, printing, and distribution, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised that a T. V. writer at this point would know the final four. Considering the final show is this Sunday.....it makes sense.

Anyone else see the commercial on CBS saying the winner of this challenge is guaranteed a place in the F4? Sounds like immunity to me....wonder what's up with that? Guess we'll see in a few hours.
