It's very interesting that pictures and information seems to be very scant this time. That tells us something, but I'm not sure what .... security is tighter??? or informants were less available???

Anyway, here's what others are saying on some of the other websites....
1 - Straights is spelled differently than Straits, so is it a play on the word that a contest takes place in one of the straits (waterway) .... or does Manitiki lose two weeks in a row which throws them into dire straights. Probably not, because we wouldn't know that until after TC and by then the show is over.
2 - Cao Boi and Billy seem to be showing up as the most likely to get booted, either irritating or dead weight, so that probably means it is CBS Misdirection.

So far, that's about all I'm getting.

Insider Transcripts from the last show at TC ...

TRIBAL COUNCIL

Watch the first Tribal Council in its entirety as each member of Hiki casts a vote.

SEKOU (votes Sundra): You improved towards the end, but we needed you early on. You are our weakest link.

NATHAN (votes Sundra): It's all love, girl. You're the weakest link.

REBBECA (votes Sekou): You are a sweet, sweet man. We just collectively thought this was the best move for us to do right now.

SUNDRA (votes Sekou): You have a heart of gold and you're such a sweet, sweet man, but I think you may be our weakest link to win future challenges.

STEPHANIE (votes Sekou): Sekou, I'm really sorry. You're a great guy. This is just strategy.

A Challenge from Episode 2.............

Episode 2 RC? IC?: "Dire Straights and Dead Weight"
An obstacle course, tribemates are tethered to each other at the waist. The start of the course has puzzle tables. Tribes much navigate through different components of an obstacle course - involves climbing and crawling under logs and crossing a rope over water. No spotting of an Immunity Idol therefore it is uncertain if this is for Reward or Immunity.

Sit outs: Hiki = none Puka = Jenny Raro = Jonathan? Aitu = Billy?

Other Information from Survivor Fever at this time:

Winners/Losers: Aitu tribe is not shown in challenge promos. They are either in first or last place. Cristina has commented in one promo that Oscar has considered throwing "the challenge" - assumption is that they mean immunity challenge. The purpose of throwing the challenge would be to get rid of "dead weight" - which would mean Billy who is seen slacking around camp and sleeping a lot. Promos blatantly feature Billy lazing around camp, editing him to be the obvious boot so he's probably safe this week. Hiki tribe is seen in a pic in pic promo image hugging, so they apparently do not lose at least one Episode 2 challenge. Flica is the odd person out on her tribe.

Second Exile: No evidence


Boot: Most vulnerable this week are: Flica (from Raro tribe - odd person out on tribe, lost a chicken), Cecilia (from Aitu tribe - boot spoilers that she doesn't make the jury), Stephannie (oldest person in Hiki tribe) Cao Boi (odd person out on Puka tribe, lots of facetime in episode one). More updates later.

The commercial I saw tonight said there is a surprise romance that even has Probst dropping his jaw. Any clues?

Survivor Fever has no new pictures this morning, and nothing new in the challenge speculations. In the Boot Sheet area I did notice that they have listed who they think is the "most vulnerable" for boot from each of the 4 tribes.

Billy, Nathan, Jessica, and Cowboy

Over at TDT, here's what they are thinking:

Challenges:
We're guessing the one challenge CBS deigned to show might be for immunity. Or reward plus immunity. Or something. Anyway, Puka Puka appears to have a healthy lead, and Rarotonga appears to be close behind. That leaves Aitutaki and yes, Manihiki, as likely losers. Who comes in last? Not sure yet, but possibly the ones who want to throw the challenge.

Not really sure if the challenge shown is the Reward or the Immunity challenge, since there's only really one set of challenge images to work with. But we'll go on the assumption that this is the Immunity Challenge, since Nate is dressed similarly when he gives his pre-challenge "we have to win, or we're screwed" assessment, and that better fits a fight for immunity.
The overhead shot from the picture-in-picture promo shows the layout of the course. Four contestants from each tribe are clipped together. It's not clear which end is the start, but one person on each tribe (Sundra for Manihiki, Brad for Puka Puka) is carrying a bag. Perhaps they cross the course once, retrieve the bag, then go back. On the bag-laden part of the course, there appears to be some kind of puzzle table, a crawl under an obstacle, further bamboo obstacles, and finally traversing a rope bridge over a pool. The overhead shot shows at least one structure beyond the pool.
***********************************
Tribal Council
The losing tribe will attend tribal council... in another fake ship. Who will it be? According to CBS ads, a tribe with a blossoming romance gets to make Jeff Probst's eyes bug out. Who could that be? Most likely either Rarotonga or Aitutaki. And if it's Aitutaki, CBS has made it clear they want Billy out. Would they lie? Maybe.

Sounds like another single-boot episode. So the boot should come (solely) from the tribe that does the worst in the immunity challenge. And the last-place teams there appear to be Aitutaki and Manihiki.
CBS also claims that, "Thursday, a romance revealed at Tribal Council leaves Jeff speechless." That leaves two tribes as prime candidates for tribal council attendance: Rarotonga, whose Candice-Adam pairing was showcased in Ep1, and Aitutaki, of whom Darnell1980 says "JP had something goin' in his tribe with one of the ladies, and that happened during filming." (Later hints further in the thread suggest that's Cecilia).

So which tribe is it? Rarotonga makes some sense: the editors spent a lot of time (and the episode title) highlighting Jonathan's frustration with Jessica/Flica for losing the chickens in Ep1. And they also took the time to show the "romance" on that tribe, a theme that will be brought up at Tribal Council, for whichever tribe attends. The only problem is, Rarotonga seems to be challenging Puka Puka for a late lead in the one challenge shown. That and the Raros seem to get their chickens back. So while Flica is a possibility to have her flame snuffed, we'll entertain other options.
Then there's Aitutaki, who were made clear since the post-Ep1 preview to be contemplating throwing the immunity challenge, in order to boot Billy. And Aitutaki does appear to be lagging in the obstacle course challenge, which we think is the IC. And they have a rumored intratribe romance. Sounds like all the pieces fit. We heard this week that Billy did not appear to have lost any weight while on the show, so he'd be our first boot choice. The other option would be one of JP or Cecilia, the rumored romancees. But we're not quite ready to make a call yet.

Took Me Forever to Find the CBS Feelers:
***************************************

Dehydration Threatens the Health of One Tribe

It's dire straights for one tribe when a lack of fire leads to serious dehydration.

At the Aitutaki camp, Billy quickly becomes a deficit to his tribe and his tribe mates become conflicted over what to do. Do they push to win the challenge and keep their tribe intact or throw it so they can vote Billy out?

After just a short time in the Cook Islands, one castaway is already claiming their affections toward another. Love is in the air…or is it?

Tension mounts between Jonathan and Adam when Adam refuses to waste his energy on what he sees as a "stupid" task. Members of Puka Puka become increasingly annoyed with some of Cao Boi's comments

Surfing the boards for a reaction to the above feelers......the concensus seems to be:

Manihiki is dehydrated...no fire last show.
The Aitutaki's might lose, but they will not throw a challenge.
Romances - Candice/Adam or JP/Cecilia - if a romance is split up, the girl goes...
Alpha Male disputes at Raro

La de dah dee dahhhhhhhhh

Am I the only one that thinks maybe the romance that has Jeff's jaw dropping to the ground is a gay romance? (Not that there is anything wrong with that). Seriously, almost every season there is a hook-up (not including Jeff and Julie), and Jeff said there would be three romances this year... so I'm thinking one has to be a gay romance. (Not that there's anything wrong with that).

I thought that was possible, but it would only be "jaw dropping" if it was a huge shock who the people are. Maybe two women (because I'm still convinced Brad is gay), or a huge age gap? Oh, and I can see Ozzy being one who could be a favorite for Jeff.

i just don't think that a romance between two gay people would be shocking though. a three-some would be shocking to me.

Survivor Sucks and Survivor Blows both show about the same thing "Across the Board" picks.

Billy is the favored to leave, with Candice, Christine, and Jessica (Flicka) being picked by a minority of votes. Most seem to think Nathan goes to Exile Island.

HaHa! I also thought Cowboy and Flica on the romance. Why? I don't know. Maybe it's just the tattoos.

On the Early Show Billy said he got caught up in the moment, feeling lonely, feeling defeated, that he just grabbed at any moment of affection. Im sure he felt egg on his face and he surprised himself.

I think that was one reason he was booted, IF anyone was considering keeping him. I really wonder what a "Matal Alliance" would be in his mind?

Telling his team that he didn't identify with being Hispanic was the equivalent of saying "I am the odd man out here - vote me out pronto!"
