Some Survivors entertain the idea of forming a secret alliance and persuade a tribemate to join their pact. A Survivor heeds some advice and makes personal hygiene improvements, delighting the tribe. As the game nears its conclusion, three castaways formulate individual strategies for surviving the upcoming Tribal Council.

Interesting and clearly the one secret alliance involves the women. I'd get my hopes up but it has never panned out in a single season, even when they had the original all female team to begin with.

Oh and the title is from Stephenie, methinks.

JP: Next time on Survivor...
Stephenie: Tom might have to be the next to go. JP: ...Stephenie steps up her game. Stephenie: All of us women... Katie: Together? Stephenie: I'll do it if you guys are game. JP: And one of the men could take the fall.
Gregg: <confessional> We didn't vote Stephenie out when we should have which is the first round. Gregg: <speaking to Ian> I hope it doesn't come back to haunt us.
Stephenie: You want to think I'm a threat?
I'll show you how threatening I am.

VO: Last week a Tribal Council shocker. Janu: I would lay down my torch so that Stephenie will have a chance to stay in the game VO: Survivor, Thursday, paranoia grips the tribe.
Katie: And none of us have a chance. Tom: They're gonna come after me. Caryn: I might be in trouble.
VO: New alliances form. Katie: Four women and three men, we could have some power. VO: Will the women topple the men? Ian: It's not going to happen that way. VO: Or will it end in tears? Stephenie: You can't trust anybody.
VO: The only way to survive... JP: Immunity back up for grabs. VO: ...is to win. Reward Challenge:
Food Auction and Letter(s) From Home Immunity Challenge:
Tribe enters - notice tiles on the right.
Notice IN on Tom's neck, so this is the II
Stephenie throws a coconut at the tiles
Gregg only has a couple of tiles left at this point
Part of the Tile Table (probably after a coconut has sunk a tile). I got this speculation for under the pictures for the RC and IC from Survivor Fever, so it is early in the week .... and my captions are more or less what they said. Supposedly the food auction and letter(s) from home was spoiled. Their spec also suggested that Ian wins this II. If Ian does win, I can't see why the tribe wouldn't take the chance to evict Tom since he is almost unbeatable .... but I understand this is the week that Stephenie leaves.

I think Stephanie is sealing her fate. Katie is going to RUN back to Tom and Ian and tell them what Stephanie is up to. I can clearly see why Stephanie would go this week. Stephanie did not listen to Coby at all. He told her not to trust Jenn and Katie and there she goes trying to make a pact with them. DUMB DUMB DUMB!

I'm afraid I agree, Az.. But I suppose she knows she was slated to go and is even more likely to go now that Janu is gone, so she is in "nothing ventured, nothing gained" mode.

Tom was already pouting about possibly having to evict Stephanie this past week, but Janu layed down her torch. That leaves 7 players, and if Stephanie would have stuck with Tom and Ian, with or without Katie agreeing, I think next off would have been Caryn. I agree that Stephanie shoots herself in the foot this week ... so we will see!

That could be true, Ginger, but I think Steph senses that Gregg and Jen are against her and frankly I don't think Tom and Katie want to rattle that boat (G/J) even though they really should know better about couplepower, so they wouldn't stand up for Steph.. well heck they didn't stand up for her, so it seemed. So I think she has to go for broke. Unfortunately the other women would rather be depending on the strong guys, can't see that if it came to ousting a strong guy or two, there would still be at least one strong guy and Steph is quite willing to work hard. The women who have done basically nothing so far can't make the leap.

I see it that way too, Sea. Stephanie is gone this week no matter what she does so this is a last ditch effort to break up the exsisting alliance. Janu gave her one more week, that is the only reason she is there now.

I thought this was interesting. It is from the Survivor Insider where they have Janu's final words, and then her "Day After" words. I cut and pasted these two paragraphs from her "Day After" words because at this point she has eaten a lot of food, slept well, cleaned up, and is feeling much better .... and all of a sudden she realizes what she has done to some of the other players that were keeping her around ... until she laid her torch down. ************************* "I am glad to be out, I am glad that I made the decision to lay down my torch last night at Tribal Council, I am happy in the way that it did turn out, not realizing that I would have been or that I was being played as a pawn in the whole game. I kind of twisted everything up and by laying down my torch, I messed up the plans of those that were trying to keep me in that I had no idea about. I just didn't know about it. After I reflected on it, it's kind of a different twist." "So then came last night and I really thought I was being voted out until tribal started and the questions started and the confessions started and the confrontations started that I realized, I am not getting voted out and I don't want to be in here anymore because after having spent the night on the island by myself, which was the night before tribal, my reason and purpose for being on Survivor came in a complete circle. So in my heart, it will never have a price that a million dollars can buy that experience and I was done and I decided to lay down my torch and it wasn't until after I laid down my torch that I realized oh my gosh, now I know what I just did to these people that are left in my tribe, it almost just hit me in the face, pretty interesting, the way the dynamics work themselves out."

I am not quite sure what she is saying because she did not articulate her thoughts well. She did not skew things for her team by quitting. They will just get Steph next week so their plans will proceed as planned. Had Koror lost a challenge earlier in the game she would have been gone. It just so happened that by the time they were faced with eliminating someone Coby emerged as a problem for them.

Fruit if Stephanie were to win Immunity this week it would surely screw things up as far as the remaining ones are concerned, Steph being a much greater threat than Janu.

Yes, that is why she was going to be voted out until Janu quit. Steph cannot win every IC from here on out. It is just a matter of time. Too bad, she is the most compelling player.

Just to throw a wrench in Koror's plans (for a little while at least) I would love to see Steph get IC at least next time and maybe again....this would force some changes in plans and alliances.

Well, they have Caryn to put on the chopping block for Steph's first win -

according to Cross the Board Picks, it looks like there will be no surprises tonight. Everyone picks Steph to say bye bye.
