Let's start this out with an explanation of what a Meke is. I got this description from another website. *********************** A meke is a traditional Fijian dance. It is typically performed during celebrations and festivals. Males and females each perform a separate dance never dancing together. The male dance is called the meke moto usually involving long spears. The dance is meant to symbolize the ancient warriors of the village. The female dance is called the seasea and involves the performers making rapid motions with their hands and arms. The music for the dance is provided by bamboo tubes and the lali, a wooden drum. The performers illustrate the meaning of the meke through the lyrics of the songs. The songs and their lyrics are created by the daunivucu, a Fijian composer, specifically for each meke. The males wear skirts made from vau, thin strips of the trunk of the vau tree. They also decorate their faces with a black paste made from charcoal and coconut oil, making a small circle on each cheek. Their wrists and ankles are decorated with leaves tied together to form bracelets. They do not wear shirts or shoes when performing a traditional meke. The women wear sulus with patterns similar to that of the traditional tapa cloth. They also wear silk short sleeve shirts all of the same color, though these colors will vary from meke to meke. Similar to the men they wear bracelets made from leaves and paint each cheek with a single circle. Around their necks the women will wear a salusalu, a loose necklace made from part of the banana tree or from a single white shell.

This is an "Insider" transcript interpretation by somebody that isn't quite sure what Dreamz said, but they think they got it right. *************************** Rocky gets KO'd at Tribal council. This is what his tribemates had to say while casting their ballot: Rocky (Votes Lisi): Sorry to send you home babe, but we have no choice. Bye honey. Alex (Rocky): Sorry buddy. I'm just thinking about long term: What's going to happen after these next few challenges. Nothing personal. Best of luck. Mookie (Lisi): You're the reason we lost today. Lisi (Rocky): 'Cause That's the way it's got to go. Edgardo (Rocky): Sorry man, but this is my alliance. Dre (Rocky): I wanted her to go. Not you. Ginger Note: Obviously Mookie didn't want to vote against Rocky (James) because of previous alliance commitments, or he wasn't in on the game plan and he comes after Lisi in the new alliance line-up. Time will tell. Lisi is to go this week......to the jury.

Ginger, on the show last night, Mookie asked some of the others if it was ok if he voted Lisi because he had promised Rocky he wouldn't vote for him, so he sort of got it ok'd ahead. He was in on the game plan for Lisi to go, however.

Reading elsewhere it may have just been Dreamz who spoke to Mookie about the vote and Mookie talked about not voting for Rocky to go. I did think more people were around but it could have just been Dreamz.

Thanks Sea......I had a dinner engagement I couldn't get out of since I was the guest of honor, so I missed it last night. I'm hoping my daughter taped it and Monday I can snatch a copy. Pamy....I'll have to go do a little snooping, but so far all I remember is that there are supposedly 3 Hidden II's. All along, the people who speculate have been assuming that one of the II's is reburied and put back into play....but I'm thinking that maybe this fake II is that #3 one. Wouldn't that be a hoot? I remember that one II is used and one is wasted. So, if I had to guess I would think the one Yau-Man has is used to save him or Earl, and the wasted one would be Alex wasting his when Edgardo gets the ax since Dreamz rats on the plan. I don't remember reading anything more about the 3rd II.

Okay......Beware that CBS has put out something incorrect in their misdirection for this week. In the clues above, it says "The tribes' dancing skills are put to the test in a truly unique Immunity Challenge." It didn't make much sense that the dance would be for immunity for a tribe ... but it seemed more applicable to a reward challenge. The following is from T.V. Guide and makes a lot more sense. THE TRIBES PERFORM A TRADITIONAL FIJIAN DANCE AT THE REWARD CHALLENGE ON "SURVIVOR: FIJI," THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT "So You Think You Can Meke?" -- The two tribes learn a traditional Fijian dance and then must perform at the Reward Challenge where the winning tribe is treated to a feast with the locals. At Tribal Council, a showdown pits two tribe mates against each other in a war of words, on SURVIVOR: FIJI, Thursday, April 5 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Regarding the Exilee this week: Most speculators on the other boards are saying it is Lisi again. There is a teaser out that Lisi has something in common with Napoleon. Napoleon was exiled twice, then escaped to make his last stand. Lisi, so far, has only been exiled once.......and she gets the boot this week. The CBS misdirection clues say "A Tribal Council showdown pits two tribemates against each other in a war of words." This is probably Lisa against Dreamz. So: If Lisi is exiled again, that means Moto wins the dance contest and gets reward ... RC And, if Lisi is booted......that means Moto wins the IC which is a choice of shooting at a target with a bow and arrow or throwing a spear.

Episode 8 Reward Challenge: Meke/Dancing & a Feast The two tribes learn a traditional Fijian dance and then must perform at the Reward Challenge where the winning tribe is treated to a feast with the locals.
Here's a pic of the Ravu Tribe ... L to R: Ed, Alex, Dreamz, and Mookie
And the Moto Tribe I can see Stacy and Michelle, and, I'm sure Earl is one of the two guys ... and maybe Boo is one, not sure. Moto is speculated to win this reward, and Lisi is once again sent to Exile Island (probably for the same reason that Ravu sent Earl last time). ************************** Episode 8 Immunity Challenge: "Warrior's Choice" Bows and arrows, spears, other weapons... 'Tiqa'? a traditional Fijian game - dart throwing?
Here's Michelle, and then Boo, choosing as their Warrior's Choice to use bow and arrows.
And, of course, Yau-Man electing to use the spear. Moto wins the challenge, and this is the week Lisi gets the boot.

Can I just say... . . . . YAY! I'll be glad when Lisi is gone, too! She's acted less like a bully at NuRavu, but a bully is a bully no matter what!

I hate to put a damper on things .... but though we will be cheering the boot of Lisi this week, I think we will all be disappointed in the next boot.

As long as it's not Michelle, Earl, or YauMan, I can live with it. If Ravu keeps on their losing streak, then next most likely boot would be Mookie, and that wouldn't break me up.

JuJu - I'm afraid you're not going to be able to live with it!!! I hate to get into the episode after this one, because some of the readers who come in here don't read the lead-ins and think what we are discussing is this show...so that's why I'm backing off. But, it does start with the same letter as Mookie.

I just love Yau man. He just gets better and better. Loved how he calculated where to hold the spear. The looks on the faces of Ravu when he hit the target were priceless. We were laughing our heads off when Ravu did their dance. The Fiji judges were so tactful when they gave their judgement.

I'm bummed about that, Ginger. And I was horrified to see Lisi had her hat to one of the guys. That hideous hat.. hope someone burns it.

I love that he has the idol and I hope if it is used it is to save him. Yau is the most entertaining person on Survivor in a long time. I doubt that he will win, but I hope he goes a long way. He is having such a good time and has such a great attitude. He can laugh at himself, and he puts all he has into the challenges. I love Yau! As far as Lisi is concerned, I have not been able to stand her for awhile now. I do think the guys who found the idol were skunks to do her the way they did. She was the one who endured exile island and enabled them to find the idol. Can't blame them for it, all is fair in the competition, but they really went down in my estimation. I think it shows a lot about why this team never wins. Compare what they did to how Yau handled it when he found the idol. He could have kept it competely to himself, but he did not.

On Survivor Live, Lisi said that she told them where the idol was because she wanted to leave and she thought that would make up for losing her vote. Of course, she also said that she wasn't asleep when they were digging for the idol, which contradicts her confessional. She was only on the show "for the experience," yet as soon as she started getting the actual Survivor experience, she wanted to leave! I didn't like her before Survivor Live, and I really don't like her after!

I didn't like Lisi either. She rubbed me the wrong way. But even if she what she said, apparently the guys did not know that. They believed they were betraying her. It did not bother them at all. They were glorying in it. Now as I have said may times on here, it is all fair game, it is after all a competition. And the only thing I find really objectionable is hypocricy. So none of those guys had better ever complain about anyone betraying them or backstabbing them or they are going to look like the biggest hypocrites in Survivor history. LOL
