In counting the knots it looks as if John, Dave and Jaison all have 8. Not sure but Natalie seems to only have 7 and yet her pole seems tilted more than the others... I wonder if it is a timed thing as in after 15 minutes you slide down 1 know... or an answer question, if wrong slide down. I am thinking maybe timed as they all seem to be at same know... except Jaison who may have the advantage and so is 1 know higher.

Survivor Fever is quoting Samburu as follows: ******************** Samburu: It looks like a piece of bamboo with a stopper on the top covered with the red "Maker's Mark" type sealing wax. The loop on the top is a finger hole for pulling the stopper. Bamboo stick sealed with wax contains a clue inside ******************** Samburu is the same person I quoted earlier that said it was some sort of extension. So, I think that the extension suggestion is now out of the window, and the advantage is something else inside the canister.

Latest spoiling from Missyae (as posted at Sucks and cut and pasted to Blows and now cut and pasted by me to TVCH: (It's like a 3-ring circus) ********************************* Lots of info out there is correct for this week. Of course Jaison does win Immunity - having that advantage he got at the reward challenge paid off. All the men who love looking at Natalie will have a treat with the new panties she will be wearing after that shower. Lots of talk about videos from home for this week - NO - does not happen. Shambos dream is about Dave. Original Foas votes stick together once again. John goes home. The rumors about Brett lasting deep into the game are correct. For those who have come up with this huge conspiracy about how easy the idols were found by Russell H. - If it bothers you that bad this season - skip next season. You think getting your hands on 3 in 1 season is something - Just wait till next season! ************************************ Ginger Notes: Sounds like Natalie pays at the auction for a shower. Also, no videos from home, and we have already been spoiled that there are no visits from home, either. Also sounds like Russell has found his quota of 3 HII for Season #19.

Okay, the SOTS (State of the Spoiling) is up at Survivor Blows, done this week by Michel. It is one of the funniest ones I have ever read, had me laughing out loud, so for those of you who might want to see it .......here's the link: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/7326.shtml ********************************* SOTS Summary RC - Auction (Monica gets tricked, Jaison wins an advantage for the IC) IC - Endurance - Jaison wins Boot - John The voting by the Survivor Blows members which is in a separate thread has really just started, but so far the few votes in are all for John to get the boot Survivor Fever shows John as the most vulnerable TDT says John is toast So, that pretty much sums up this week's show

Oh my! I tell ya Ponderosa is going to get wildly interesting! Remember, the 1st Juror Eric was blindsided mainly because he was running around yapping w/FoaFoa (doing John's bidding to try to flush out Russell's HII)? Then, after the blindside at TC, John couldn't even make eye contact with Eric because he knew he had just royally screwed his pal. The way Eric has been chewing on Kelly & especially Laura back at Ponderosa, I can't WAIT to see what kind of reception John receives!

Yep, Bis ... I have to agree. Erik has not been able to quit playing the game. Laura and Kelly want to move on with it, and just enjoy their freedom and the time spent together at the lodge. But, Erik just can't let it go. We've seen all kinds of receptions at Ponderosa's over the years now .... from friendly, all is forgiven .... to argumentative .... to somebody being completely ostracized.

Maybe "off with their heads" refers not to the chickens, but what John says to Eric at Ponderosa about the gals!

Little late, but here's the CBS Misdirection: *************************** 12.01.2009 AT THE SURVIVOR AUCTION, ONE HIGH BIDDER DECIDES TO GO HUNGRY IN EXCHANGE FOR A POTENTIALLY VALUABLE ADVANTAGE IN THE GAME, ON "SURVIVOR: SAMOA," THURSDAY, DEC. 3 "Off With Their Heads!" - The Foa Foas consider a risky move in the hours before tribal that may result in the betrayal of one of their own, on SURVIVOR: SAMOA, Thursday, Dec. 3 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Ginger, I saw that, too, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how/why the Foas would betray one of their own! They haven't turned on each other so far, knowing they can depend on each other. The only thing I can come up with is the faux agreement Russell had with John about a Foa leaving this week. I can't imagine Russell would ever do that anyway, but maybe this week Russell decides who he wants gone (from the Galus), and the rest of the tribe disagrees with him and votes someone else out. In Russell's mind, that might mean betrayal?

lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala....... Yea, Chief .... after seeing the show, I think that was a pretty misleading clue by CBS, but so what's new? The reference would be the "what if" and a possible 4 to 4 tie for next week, but we never were allowed to see how that worked out the way it did. We only got to see the end result! That's why I try to always remember to call it the CBS MISDIRECTION

I posted this in the Episode thread. It seems (to ME!) like John is spinning some stories and Eric is finally kicking back making ?ironic/sarcastic? laughs. Perhaps part of it is that, after being on the Jury, Eric's not totally in some void about what's happening. It wasn't the reception I kind of anticipated. Survivor: Samoa - Life at Ponderosa - John Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iHb-47EQVU John is sent packing to join former Galu members Erik, Kelly and Laura at Ponderosa where he has some questions to answer about why he flipped his vote Survivor: Samoa - Life at Ponderosa - John Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g_cy1HbZI4 The Survivors get a surprise at camp that brings some to tears

My take on one of Foas betraying one of their own was Shambo. She does NOT consider herself to be a Galu and she was clearly left out of the loop on voting for John.

Lexie, I agree. Perhaps this week will turn out exactly the way Jaison said it would. He warned them about taking Shambo for granted, which would create a tie the next time they go to tribal council. The look on her face at TC was shock and confusion. She won't roll over and take that well! Even if they didn't want to do what she wanted, it would have been far better for the Foas to at least keep her in the loop. The former Foas may just pay heavily for that error in judgement!

The bad thing is that there is supposedly only a one-day turn-around from the time John is booted and he makes an appearance at a tribal council. That means, only one day for Russell to do "Damage Control" for leaving Shambo out of the loop, and explaining to her why he had to do what he did, and why he felt he had to leave her out of knowing.

And why are WE, the viewers and other players, all so concerned with what Shambo thinks or feels anyway? I think we would all agree that the rest of the folks should not tailor their own game play to accommodate one quirky player? How did Shambo suddenly become the linchpin player, the one everybody must appease? none of these are serious questions, and I am just stirring the pot, but answer if you like

I think it's because Shambo is the only "fence sitter/swing vote" that they know of. As several have said in the Youtubes I've watched, Shambo appears to be a quirky player, that is going strictly by her emotions. Now, where I think she will take this new surprise move of voting off John - without cluing her in? She's still smarting from the previous exchange with Dave that [pph] "they were just trying to take her further in the game" & they couldn't tell her anything for fear of what she might tell anybody. I think her response was something like "what, am I a 7 year old?" Since then, she's been gunning for Dave. Shambo is a loose cannon. If she's ticked off enough, she could swing back to voting with Galu (& back to 4/4 tie as Jaison fears).

Russell is going to have to do some serious damage control with Shambo. It is going to piss Shambo off to no end that even Monica knew they were voting for John.

I don't think Russell is too concerned with Shambo anymore. Dave was very easy to convince to throw John under the bus to save his own behind. Maybe he thinks....if it worked once with Dave, why can't it work again with another player.

Juju, Biscottiii answered the way I was thinking regarding Shambo. I don't think they (or any of us) think that Shambo has the power to call the shots. But the former Foas do realize that, without Shambo playing along with their game plan and turning the game around for them, they wouldn't have made it this far. Thus they do really owe her something. At some point they will probably want to break with her, but at this point, she is still in a position to help them with her vote. Other than that, they are taking a chance on a tie, with Shambo possibly being mad and going back to vote with the old Galus. (She won't appreciate that Monica knew and she didn't.) And Russell really needs to be concerned with Shambo. She's the only one left who truly had his back and can call him out - therefore potentially ruining his game. He had better think quickly on his feet to get past this one! Shambo is wearing thin on my nerves, but I'll admit she's a force in the game. And like Russell said, this is a social game, too.

OK, here is what I am thinking. Russell does have some damage control with Shambo, but we know there was only a one day turn around before the next tribal council. SO Russell tells Shambo , something to the effect he heard last minute OR that something came up with John and they HAD to vote him out. He realizes they let her down.... blah blah blah.... and Dave is the MUST GO tonight PERIOD !! no flipping. That should save his ass and the next strongest player is eliminated.

That makes sense to me! Now, with only one day turnaround, it leaves less time for Shambo to stew (so sorry dear chickens!) and people getting into her head. Fewer clairvoyant dreams.
