As the number of remaining tribemates dwindles down, one alliance is forced to think about turning on each other. Will this strong alliance finally crumble? At the Immunity Challenge the Survivors must complete an obstacle course that ends with the most difficult puzzle in Survivor history. Who will capture this all important victory for a spot in the final four? Endurance is a key factor in the final challenge for immunity. Who will be the last one standing to secure a chance at $1,000,000? The final Survivors battle it out to convince the jury that they are the most deserving of the $1,000,000 prize. Who will walk away with the money and the title of Sole Survivor?

Survivor Fever doesn't have their Challenge Speculation up yet, but TDT is full of stuff. Per TDT: First challenge is very physical to get the puzzle pieces to the hardest puzzle yet! First challenge is won by Ozzy. Yul has the Exile Island II. Adam is booted. Second challenge is one of balance and endurance. Again Ozzy wins and Yul has the Exile Island II. So the vote is between the two girls. The Fearsome Four agree to force a tie so the two girls have to compete in a fire-making challenge. The girls compete, helping each other and coaxing each other on .... Becky wins, and Sundra gets the boot. That leaves Ozzy, Yul and Becky left to face the jury. Ginger Note: I'm trying to remember if the Exile Island II is good at the F4. If not, then Ozzy winning the Immunity Challenge makes sense because Yul and Becky would not vote against each other and it would still be left between the girls or an all-out boot of Sundra. Also, what happened to the rumour that Yul gives Becky his Exile Island II to save her at a TC and then she turns on him? I'm so glad to hear that this was just a rumour and doesn't come to pass. I really hated hearing that rumour and was hoping it wasn't true!

Pictures from the first challenge:
Ozzy in one leg of the challenge to collect puzzle pieces.
Sundra with a bag of her pieces
Adam in another leg of the challenge.
Becky with a bag of her pieces
All 5 are in some stage at the puzzle solving.
This doesn't look like a winner.

Ginger, you're such a good detective. Thanks for sharing. I really like the TDT scenario. I hope that is how it happens, except I kind of wish Sundra would stay, but it doesn't matter. What a good idea to let the women tie so they can compete for third.

I hope it is true that the 4 Aitu make it to the final 4 and then they tie the vote on purpose. That way no one has to turn on each other. Very nice! That eviction will come down to skill. I am impressed with those 4.

It's smart for more than that. There are other members of the jury who would be happy using turning on one another asa reason to vote or not vote for someone. This helps keep it about game play and such issues. At this point if Ozzy doesn't win immunity and they vote him out, they have screwed themselves with the jury anyway. Lack of loyalty at this point in picking to keep Adam over Ozzy would be a death warrant as far as winning. Besides, if they keep Adam, it gives Adam a chance to win--something I believe none of the 4 of them want to happen. Of course if Adam wins immunity, then they have to get rid of one of their own--then it isn't a question of lack of loyalty. And Adam has no reason to go with a plan to make it a tie--him doing them that favor gets him nothing.

............................. They've already turned on Ozzy, in my mind. Immunity is just not working in their favor.

As much as I like and admire Yul, I would have to award the money to Ozzy. He has won challenge after challenge, and furnished food for himself and others........without having an Exile II to fall back on or a partner to help the planning stages like Yul and Becky. Ozzy is the best Sole Survivor of this version of Survivor IMHO.

I think that is what would happen.. Ozzy over Yul. Of course they need to get Adam out of there.. if he's in final three, he'll win because of the heavy Raro element on the jury (and with three not voting that will be one more Aitu not voting. I still prefer Yul because the game isn't just about winning competitions but also about strategy and such and Yul's outshone Ozzy in that aspect of the game. They are both worthy. I also love that scenario at F4, if two are immune, to let the other two fight it out fairly. Becky has certainly competed better and hasn't had much in the way of reward lately. Sundra got to go on one really nice reward and spend time with her loved one, thanks to Parvati's dad. Parvati won with her dad, though that comp was pretty much a crapshoot and she and Yul won their way to go with Ozzy on the most recent reward. I like that Becky (and Sundra too, this time) aren't moping and whining about the lack of reward. In fact the Aitus whine very little.. the last time being started by Ozzy not wanting to feed the others.

Neat advance of the show RBK...thanks a bunch! Over at Survivor Fever I picked this up: From TVGuide.com: The final four's last immunity challenge involves balancing on a very small post, one that gets smaller and smaller — 10 feet above the water. "It required balance but also intense concentration and pain tolerance, because it was made of steel and was not comfortable, " Probst explains. Also, they said that Burnett announced that the Compass Rose puzzle took the winner 25 minutes to solve. Burnett had tried to solve it before the show and quit after 30 minutes of working on it. They said that the Final Five had the highest IQ of any Final Five they have ever had in the past.

I finally found the rules regarding the Exile Island Immunity Idol. It is good "through the Final Four". Once they are down to just 3 players, it is no longer any good.

If the puzzle itself is so difficult, I'm thinking that differences in getting the bags won't be the make or break..

Survivor Insider --- Last week's Tribal Council: Tribal Council Ozzy (Parvati): Sorry Parvati. I really like you, its just, you gotta go with the majority. Sorry. Sundra (Parvati): It's getting too dangerous to keep you around and its very easy to come to tribal council and talk about what you think our strategy is when you're on the outside and you have no idea. Sorry. Parvati (S"on"dra): Eenie meanie miney... Sundra! No other reason but you probably led the charge to get ME voted out of here tonight. Um... love you, best of luck. Enjoy. Adam (Sundra): This vote is between Parvati and I, so this is more of a throw in vote. I don't want to vote against Parvati. We've been through a lot together since the beginning, so, uh, I just picked Sundra to vote for. Becky (Parvati): I think it comes down to one factor: between you and Adam, you're the bigger threat. Yul (Parvati): Parvati, you're a strong competitor, I definitely underestimated you. I really enjoyed getting to know you and I'm sorry I have to vote you out, but at this point I think you're stronger threat than Adam is. I wish you the very best and hope we can be friends.

They said early on that they don't have a car sponsor anymore. There hasn't been any clear pattern of sponsors from the commercials from the season so I think that might be accurate.
