From CBS.com

When four tribes become two, the last survivor fears the worst, but then is surprised when Jeff reveals a twist in the game.

One Survivor makes a major mistake and leaves the tribe disappointed, hungry, and still desperately trying to get food.

As the Survivors get to know each other they waste no time forming alliances, leaving two feeling vulnerable and two in a position of power.

One Survivor struggles to adjust to life on the island. Will he overcome the pressure or choose to leave the island forever?

What's the point in starting with four tribes if you're just going to go to the usual two within a couple of days?

I have no clue ... but for those of you playing the games, I thought you might like to know that you should not be placing your bets on the 4 groups of 4 (minus 1 - Tina).

I need to go find some pictures for you guys.

Per TDT, the two teams are picked schoolyard type ... two leaders picking one at a time for their team. The pictures are clear enough to show that this is how it winds up:
Purple tribe (Casaya): Shane, Bruce, Aras, Bobby, Melinda, Cirie, Danielle and Courtney
Orange tribe (La Mina): Dan, Terry, Nick, Austin, Ruth Marie, Misty and Sally.

Also, it appears that the reward challenge takes place right after the pick.

Ala, that's weird that they would combine into 2 teams after just one eviction. Purple has 8 members and Orange has 7.

Episode 2 Reward Challenge: Obstacle Course?
Components involve a raised ladder walk, climbing ramps and barriers on both land and water.

1s
Balanced walk over water
2s
barrier (over or under water???)
3s
Austin going under a land barrier

Episode 2 Immunity Challenge: Underwater Chest Pull
Scarce footage of the immunity challenge so far. One image indicates that it will involve pulling a chest or trunk while underwater.
4s

I couldn't tell if these next two pictures went with the over/under barrier reward challenge race, or the pull the chest through the water race and put a skull somewhere and set a fire or something for an immunity challenge. Maybe we will get more later.

reader (HI :-):-)) the two alliance guys are Dan and Terry so it looks like they do make the same team according to Alaginger's post:

<<Purple tribe (Casaya): Shane, Bruce, Aras, Bobby, Melinda, Cirie, Danielle and Courtney
Orange tribe (La Mina): Dan, Terry, Nick, Austin, Ruth Marie, Misty and Sally
>>

For those playing games, hope some of this helps you make your picks.

4s
According to this picture from SurvivorFever, the Survivors are lined up 15 across with Bobby (the oldest young male) and Bruce (the oldest older male) stepping forward. Are they the leaders; therefore, the pickers? If so, how come Bobby and Bruce are both on the Purple (Casaya) tribe as appears to be the case. Interesting.

Also, according to SurvivorFever, it appears that Bruce sits out the Reward Challenge, but I couldn't see a picture that points to that.

It appears that Casaya loses the Reward Challenge since these 3 pictures show a sad Courtney and a stressed Aras, but Austin appears to be jubilant in his confessional scene.

Not that this helps one way or the other, but I'm seeing something with wooden snakes fitting into the Reward Challenge. Probably the same obstacle couse as discussed above, but they gather and carry wodden snakes with them? The picture of the wooden snakes was in the TV Guide write-up, and the other picture of the guys running shows one of the snakes thrown over the shoulder of one of the male survivors.

No computer for 2 days while we had carpet installed and then got set up again. Here's a couple of pictures.

s1
When the bad weather sets in, Nick is wrapped in a blanket so it appears that La Mina probably won the Reward Challenge.

s2
This appears to be Bruce at Exile Island according to Survivor Fever. (I also saw some pictures of Shane going through the Cold Turkey smoking thing and had the thought that maybe he was at Exile Island). Either way, whichever one was at Exile Island is supposed to come back and help their team win the Immunity Challenge, and according to the list above, either one of those would be from Casaya)

Okay....now I'm going to have to change what I just supposed above. TDT is saying that they have been told that Melinda is booted this time from a reliable source, and if that is so then that would mean that Casaya loses.

I'm not 100% sure that Bruce is on Casaya. There is much controversy throughout the websites as to whether he is LaMina or Casaya. He is stepping out above with the stones with LaMina, but he is listed as being on Casaya with Bobby......so what gives?

From Ain' Cool News:

CBS forwarded the second episode of the 12th season of “Survivor” – but the tape stops the second Jeff Probst tells the tribal council this: “To me this tribe seems a little all over the map. I’m curious to see how it plays out. It is time to vote.”
“Obviously,” the publicist tells us, “we ask your discretion in not revealing pivotal moments in the show which will take viewers by surprise.”
So. A few hints:

* Much of the episode focuses on Shane Powers, the three-pack-a-day smoker who quit cigarettes cold turkey to join the show. Shane keeps saying he wants to quit the game because he feels bad about missing his kid’s Little League game; the more he says this, the more certain viewers may become that what Shane really misses is that sweet, sweet nicotine.

* Much focus also falls upon leaf-fearing registered nurse Cirie Fields, who will shed tears before episode’s conclusion.

* The two cast members who get the least screen time this week are likely attorney Bobby Mason, 32, and retail leasing exec Ruth Marie Williams, 48. One belongs to the tribe that wins immunity this week; the other does not.

* This week’s exile to Exile island is chosen in a substantially different manner than was last weeks’. If last week’s exile, Misty Giles, or this week’s exile has found the immunity idol, such a discovery is not revealed to viewers.

* As publicized, a schoolyard pick reshuffles the four mini-tribes into two larger tribes, dubbed LaMina (which makes its home at the older men’s camp) and Cassaya (which makes its home at the older women’s camp).

* One tribe winds up skewing considerably younger than the other. LaMina gets three contestants older than 46. Cassaya’s oldest member is 35.

* The reward challenge involves an obstacle course and 12 enormous wooden snakes. The reward: fishing gear.

* Once the two tribes of seven get to their respective camps, four-person alliances are formed almost immediately. At LaMina, the three “outsiders” are kept largely in the dark about the four-person alliance. At Cassaya, one alliance member proves unafraid to publicize his alliance to the tribe’s three outsiders.

* One alliance of four is all male; the other is evenly split between genders.

* The immunity challenge is one of the series’ better. Each team is assigned a leaky rowboat tethered to a massive anchor. Some of the team members have to keep bailing water out of their boat with small buckets while others have to dive to the ocean floor to drag their anchor (and their boat) to shore.
8 p.m. Thursday.
CBS.
