aahh crap! why would Jaison want to go against Russ?!!!! grrrr he just made alliance with him that I know Russ would keep. I like Jaison and hope he isnt next, hope its classic misdirection.

I dont feel the Shambo love. I feel like they are shoving her down our throats that she is sooooo likable. She irritates me. and why in God's name would she wear such a horrible unsupportive bathing suit?! her boobs go east and west

TDT has the following explanation about the RC:

From the web promo, the layout to the challenge is clear. Each tribe has four crates tethered in the water. They're brought back to shore, presumably to make a puzzle - there are structures on the beach that we think the colored panels on the crates probably slide into. But there are also people waiting in the shallow water, trying to prevent the opposing tribe's people from getting out to the crates.
Shown competing are, for Foa Foa: Ben, Jaison, Liz, Ashley and Natalie. For Galu, we see Russell S, Dave, John, Monica, Kelly and Laura. We'd guess there may be more unseen Foa Foas competing, as well.

Still more of the Ep3 RC - Crate-gathering

Natalie with a crate

Monica, also with a crate

Laura pushing a crate

Dave & John get past Ben
Dave vs. Ben

Ashley corrals Monica
Kelly vs Natalie and Liz

Success for Dave & John
Jaison passes, while Russell S stops Ben

So who wins? Not clear yet. Hopefully clearer video (or different video) will reveal who has the most crates first. Until then, not much to go on.

Appears TDT has designated the winner of the RC as:

1
Galu

So who wins? First, a bit from TV Guide: "During the reward challenge, the chief of one tribe makes a controversial decision that lands him in hot water back at camp." This is in line with a Jeff Probst story from his EW interview with Dalton Ross: "Do you want comfort and pillows, things like that, or do you want a tarp? And it plays out. Very interesting who they pick, very interesting what happens to the leaders, and just the whole notion of whether a leader can survive in this game, coming into it with that target on their back."

This is important, because as the PIP preview from 9/26 shows (above), Galu (which means chief Russell S) chooses what appears to be bedding, instead of a tarp. Could be important, since it's also supposed to rain for about a week straight fairly soon.

Survivor Insider regarding Episode 2:
I only brought over the parts I think might tell us something.....
*************************************

Tribal Council Voting
Find out what each castaway had to say as they cast their votes at Tribal Council

Mick (Betsy): Betsy, I know this isn't a surprise, but it still hurts. I'm sorry.

Natalie (Betsy): Betsy, I'm voting for you. No hard feelings. It's the majority.

Russell (Betsy): You should have taken my invitation while you could, but you didn't, so that's why you're going home tonight. Bye-bye.

Betsy (Ben): <sings the theme to "Cops" as she writes> Don't use my name if you ever get stopped in New Hampshire.

Ben (Betsy): I thought you were a good cop, but you're a bad cop, so this one's for you. (pretends to fire a gun)

Ashley (Betsy): I tried to save you. I really did. I'm really sorry I couldn't.

Jaison ("Betsey"): I'm sorry.

Liz (Betsy): We're only as strong as our weakest link. I'm sorry. We need to start winning.
**************************************

Ben the Provider

Ben boasts about his ability to provide for his tribemates - guaranteeing, in his mind, a spot in the finals
"I make life easier around camp just by being crafty. I'm a very, very smart guy. I'm very - what's the word, besides crafty - any time I'm innovative, I see something I think I can use for something, I'm obviously gonna pick it up. I'll show everybody else. I'll share the wealth. I'm not trying to keep it to myself. I want everybody to feel comfortable and everyone to know I'm trying to make their lives a little more comfortable. Everybody keeps complimenting me on how much I do around camp. I would probably say I'm the hardest worker and the most experienced outdoors. It helps out a lot, and people respect me for that, and I appreciate it."
"I think it definitely makes me safe, especially with the girls. I don't think they would ever think of voting me off at this point. I keep everybody so well-watered, well-fed, keep 'em warm, keep 'em sheltered. I give the girls my pants. I do whatever I can to make people feel comfortable. I'm more of a giver than a taker. I'm just doing my thing, biding my time until I win that million dollars."
*****************************

Monica (to Dave and Laura): Do you think Yasmin would ever consider making alliances with people over there?
Laura: Definitely.
Monica: She's the perfect person to go over there. She's gonna run her mouth, she's gonna make them miserable. (Dave agrees) What I would give to be a fly on the wall at the other camp!
(Laura shrieks, and Dave is shocked and laughs)

*****************************************
Mick on Being the Leader

Mick shares the difficulties surrounding his role as the leader of a tribe of strong personalities
"Trying to lead this tribe is like trying to herd cats. Everyone does their thing. Everyone has a nice they fill, but these are pretty strong personalities here. Russell hates being told what to do, so he's let it be known that anyone who tries to lead him is gonna get (?) That's tough. Ben is a strong player, he's got a strong personality, he's very comfortable in this environment. A lot of us are getting there, but he's another guy I don't feel comfortable...he has a tendency to undermine a little bit when I make recommendations. It hasn't been as obvious this morning. We've spoken and we've hung out a little bit, trying to feel each other out a little bit. It's getting better. To say there's definitely a leader in this tribe is tough because it's such an individual game also."
***************************************
Russell's Injury (Russell S.)

Russell discusses his injury after getting kicked at the challenge by Ben
"In the heat of the battle, y'know, things happen. I don't even know really what happened. I know I had grabbed the ball. There was somebody around me, I didn't know who it was. I started to run, and toss the ball to the girls so they could take a shot. That's when I'm on the ground and Jeff was screaming at the guy."
"My ankle's definitely hurting. I wasn't sure if I rolled it. It happened so fast. The guy definitely took me out. There was no doubt about that. My ankle's hurting. The only thing that bothers me about that is I'm praying it doesn't hinder me in upcoming challenges. Like I said, with that necklace, any weakness, coupled with that necklace, it could be nasty. Even though people knew what happened, at this point, when you go to that first immunity challenge, you're looking for any reason to knock somebody off. Even though I'm purportedly the leader and a strong player, it doesn't matter if the strong player is gimpy. I wasn't too happy about that."

CTgirl at Survivor Blows has done a very good analytical write-up on the speculation for Episode 3. Her summary is:

To Summarize:
Reward Challenge: Galu
Immunity Challenge: Galu?
Visiting Castaway: ???
Bootee: Ben

Some of the posters there seem to think there is a voting block to take out Ben because he is in thick with Evil Russell. Jaison knows that ER has a hidden II and assumes it is playable, so if he wanted to go after ER, he probably wouldn't. But, taking out Ben hurts ER also in the voting block's estimation. If it is Ben, it will be very interesting to see ER's reaction.

Also, there is a lot of discussion about this being a possible double boot Episode since absolutely no pictures were given of an IC.

It looks like the guys at Foa Foa are all wearing new shorts. I wonder if Russell S. at Galu chose bedding over swimming trunks, pissing off John Fincher, who has issues about running around in his tiny briefs. (-:

fincher

PS...I've read several places that one tribal leader chooses bedding over a tarp. There are pics of Kelly carrying what looks to be bedding, however, I'm curious how anyone knows that the alternate item was a tarp?

I'm so happy the guys got new shorts. I wanted to hurl every time I saw ER in his thin gray boxer briefs. And the fact that he kept hitching them farther up his leg was disturbing to say the least.

I've seen it discussed on some of the other sites that in past Survivor shows, their luggage shows up late. I think the Survivors have just been given the swimwear and maybe some other articles that they brought with them. I don't believe it has anything to do with any challenge win, or one tribe gets it over the other.......

BUT THEN, WHAT DO I KNOW?

I had to double check that I was on the Survivor thread. For a minute I thought I popped into a discussion about The Apprentice. Ginger, you are probably right but I am still stuck back in the early days when a necklace was a luxury item.

Please post more pictures and posts and anything you can to archive that first picture posted. Its almost more than I can bear to see that face pop up each time I click this thread!

Seriously though, I sure appreciate all the work you do to bring info over here. I read it all the time. Great info to read, and really adds to the overall viewing of the show.

In the news.......

1

The massive tsunami caused by an earthquake that hit Samoa early Tuesday has not affected the production or airing of CBS' "Survivor: Samoa."

The 19th season of "Survivor" that is currently airing had already cleared out of the area long ago. The following season, however, was also taking place in "Samoa," but none of the cast or crew were harmed, reports E! Online.

Apparently, the cast of the 20th season -- rumored to be a special "All Stars: Heroes vs. Villains" -- had already left Samoa earlier in September having wrapped filming. A few crew members were left in the area.

The 19th and 20th seasons were filmed back to back.

So far, CBS has decided to continue airing "Survivor: Samoa" in its usual Thursday time slot instead of pulling the episode out of respect for the tsunami victims. It's expected that the episode will include a public service announcement for flood relief.
