T.V. Guide blurb:

"The tribes merge into one group and one person betrays a former alliance. At tribal council, another castaway is voted off of the islands. Jeff Probst is the host."

Ginger Note: Notice the blurb says the tribes merge into one group. The blurb does use the word merge, but it says group and not tribe as usual...so that may be a hint of things to come during the show. I've got more info to gather elsewhere. Be back soon!

Here are the CBS Misdirection Clubs for Ep. 9:

Next time on SURVIVOR: FIJI
· A shocking surprise crushes some tribemates and energizes others.

· A twist after the Immunity Challenge leaves tribemates with zero time to deliberate before Tribal Council. How will this affect the vote?

Okay, I've brought over somebody else's speculations as to what those clues mean, and I'll go get some more info to back it up.
***************************************
A poster at Survivor Blows speculates:
"RE: CBS website clues - ep. 9"
A shocking surprise crushes some tribemates and energizes others.
Merge camp is at the stripped of all luxury Moto camp (Ginger: the stripped of all luxury Moto camp has been spoiled already). They merge on exile island and have a feast, get back to the new camp and all luxury is gone. Mookie is disgusted that he doesn't get to live at the luxury camp.

A twist after the Immunity Challenge leaves tribemates with zero time to deliberate before Tribal Council. How will this affect the vote?
The tribe (Ginger: group) is split into two teams and the IC is run. The two "teams" were competing as a team and will go to tribal council as that unit (Ginger: immediately after competing), therefore affecting the voting strategy and screwing Michelle when she finds herself sans (Ginger: without) Earl, Yau-Man, and Cassandra.
(Ginger: I've read somewhere that it is Dre that picks Michelle to be on the side with the 4 Ravu guys. I'm thinking he may have picked her because she has been good in challenges. But, he might have figured they might lose again and have to vote somebody out and if he brings Cassandra over, he could lose a buddy ... if he brings Stacy over, she is in alliance with the guys and Dreamz would be the bootie ... if he brings Yau-Man or Earl over, one of them might have the idol, and again Dreamz might be vulnerable ... so maybe he picks Michelle because she is the less of the evils for him. Not sure why he picks her, or even if he picks her. But, the speculation is heavy based on clues from Survivor Phoenix that the 4 guys from Ravu with Michelle lose the challenge, and Michelle gets the boot.)

One survivor questions their alliance when a coveted secret is impulsively revealed to them.
Edgardo, Mookie, and/or Alex (most likely Mookie) reveals to Dreamz that they found the hidden idol in order to keep him "loyal" since they don't want him re-joining with Cassandra. Mookie might spill this info when the tribes merge and before the IC since he "assumes" that the challenge will be individual and that all ten are going to be attending TC.

Earl makes a play for Dreamz' vote since he has Cassandra in his alliance. So assuming a normal merge with individual challenge, Earl outlines that it is: Earl, Michelle, Cassandra, Dreamz, Boo, and Yau Man as the majority alliance and that they will target Stacy first to get the upper hand.

But when Michelle is selected to join the 4 guys "team", she is screwed because of Mookies betrayal. Dreamz has no choice but to vote with Alex, Edgardo, and Mookie to oust Michelle.

So .... where did I get some of this info a couple of days ago?

Survivor Phoenix evidently has a very reliable source this season. Here is some of the stuff coming from that website a couple of days ago.
************************************
"The latest update"
Some of the Survivor Fiji women finally will get a moment to shine. Unfortunately, it is not challenge related: they design the tribal flag with all the players' names framing the border. Rumor has it that it is not quite as artistic as the merge flag Bruce designed in season 12, but it is a step up from the boring merge flag from season 13.

What Survivor producers giveth, Survivor producers taketh away. The newly formed Bula tribe will find that Moto camp has lost its appeal when they return to it after the merge festivities. The camp will have been stripped and Mookie, the last-standing full-time Ravu player, never will get to experience "Good Times".

Beware assumptions. Just when they think they are now playing an individual game, the players will be thrown a curve at the Immunity Challenge. Players will compete as two teams of five, with the losing team going directly to Tribal Council, without passing Camp. Look for someone to get blind-sided when they are selected on the "wrong team" by Dre and that teams loses.

Or so we have heard.

This might be how Michelle gets picked off..... she gets hit with this submarine shot, and neither Earl or Yau can get to the Idol to save her!

La de da, de da, de da, de, da....

Notice that it says blind-sided when they are selected by Dre.

I've just had a thought that might be why Dre gets to do the picking. When NuRavu was formed Edguardo was the 1st to pick and he picked Alex. Alex picked Mookie. Mookie picked Rocky, and Rocky picked Dreamz. So, Dreamz being the last one picked to the NuRavu tribe is possibly given the honor of picking one from the NuMoto tribe to even things up for the challenge. (Poor Michelle)

One other thing I forgot to mention:

A question arises, does the 5-member team that wins the IC get to go and watch at the TC when the losing team boots somebody? According to this summary by Survivor Phoenix, the winning team goes back to camp, and the losing team goes to TC. Just put this up in case it comes up in one of your games and you need and answer.

Merge.
Back to Moto camp.
IC twist.
Losing team from IC to TC.
Winning team back to camp.

So we have heard.

If the spoilers are true, then damn!!!

Double damn!!

I hate that Michelle is leaving, and I hate even more that she got blindsided and couldn't do anything about it. And even more bummed at Mookie, who was her original Ravu tribemate and has seemingly now completely switched to the nuRavu tribe. Michelle has been a quietly strong player and I'll hate to see her go. And poor thing, she'll have to spend time with Rocky and Lisi on the jury (till the next eviction). The two "worst" sports in the entire game, almost!

Thanks Ginger for the update.

I was wondering how Boo was going to lose about 35 pounds during survivor while he kept eating all of that food. This certainly answers that question.

They are already at day 21, aren't they? That is nearly two pounds a day weight loss for Boo!

I think he has already lost a little weight even with all of the food Tntitfan by looking at his picture on the CBS website compared to the picture up above, but 35 pounds is still a lot to lose. I think food is going to become more scarce for him very soon.

My daughter is so bummed out that Michelle is getting the ax because she is from Korea and was adopted and raised here in America, just like my little 2-year-old granddaughter is. We were all pulling for Michelle to go far........DARN!!!

There's already been a correction to the originally spoiled thing regarding Dreamz. Read the following:
***************************
At the time we posted our initial article on the merge, we believed all of the information in it was accurate. The evidence from the press photos clearly contradicts a specific element. We have checked back and offer the following updates to the previously released information.

We confirm that the tribes will indeed merge in Episode 9, bringing to a close the death watch of the Ravu tribe.

1
The press photos posted show the two tribes arrive separately at Exile Island for the traditional greet, eat and cheer of the merge ceremonies. The players then return to camp Moto Minus (aka Bula) as one united (?) tribe with brand new buffs.

2
(No Shelter? That's gotta suck)

3
The above photo shows the merged players with outstretched arms and closed hands. As we reported previously, the new tribe gets thrown a twist: instead of the individual Immunity challenge everyone expects, the players are divided into two teams. Teams, not tribes. Remember, they have already merged.

Clearly, our initial information about Dre was incorrect. More on that later, but for now, as a peace offering, we have some additional details on the challenge.

We were told that the players are holding individual green and orange rocks. Yes, we think it is confusing that they are using the same colors as the original tribe colors, but producers must have gotten a great deal on the paint.

The two teams should break down as follows:
Alex, Dre, Michelle, Mookie and Stacy
Boo, Cassandra, Earl, Edgardo and Yau-Man

The challenge itself is designed to test communication and problem-solving. The players will need to retrieve all the bags containing puzzle pieces and then solve the puzzle. Look for the challenge star to have a big impact once again.

The winning tribe enjoys a meal.
The losing tribe leaves for Tribal Council immediately. We have heard that the players might even be blindfolded to prevent any deliberation on the way to Tribal Council.

Back to our conflicting information. In piecing together the tips we received, there was a bit of miscommunication about Dre's actual role in this week's boot. Before the challenge, Stacy was being targeted by most members of the new tribe, yet it wasn't Stacy who ended up being booted. We will have to wait to see the show to determine whether Dre's play was a strategic move, a spur of the moment emotional response or a case of mistaken identity.

Ginger: Based on the information I'm getting, there must not be a RC this time, nor anybody exiled individually. Everybody going to Exile Island for a feast and merge, takes up enough time that there would not be time left for a RC.

IIRC, haven't the eps with the merges been sans RC? Like, they get the merge ceremony and all the goodies that go along with it, rather than an individual reward challenge right off the bat?

For problem/puzzle solving I would rely on Michelle on Team A and Yau-man on Team B!

How exactly would blindfolding prevent deliberation? And how could they get to trial council blindfolded?

Answers to be revealed next Thursday night, no doubt!

I think you're right Costacat.........but somebody on one of the other websites asked the question, so I went ahead and addressed it here in case anybody was wondering. Usually on a merge episode there is no RC (no time for it, I guess).

Frankly, Titan...I thought the blindfolding suggestion was going a bit overboard also. Notice the person reported said "might"...like they weren't sure of that, and it sounded to me like they were also questioning it.

Tribal Council At #8 - what the voters had to say!
*********************

"Episode #8: The Insider"
Tribal Council: Lisi's tribesmates grant her wish as they vote her out of the game.

Mookie (votes Lisi): "Since you don't want to be here...Here you go."

Alex (Lisi): "Sorry about this Lisi but I need somebody who's going to be in this for the long run. I hope you figure everything out because I hope we can still be friends after this. Take care."

Edgardo (Lisi): I'll see you on the other side."

Lisi (Dreamz): "You're a grown man. Consider a name change."

Dreamz (Lisi): I've been waiting to do this for a long time." (Dre gives a thumb's up with a huge smile!)
