I think that's fair, Kappy. I don't particularly enjoy the Russell storyline, but I will probably keep watching, hoping every week that he goes, just like I did with Coach last season.

Chy I think Jeff didn't mention it was not good for Russell, because it IS good for Russell and he gets to keep it??

Jeff starts off his blog with a major spoiler. Head after the jump to read on. Does anyone know what "head after the jump" means? I never can figure out what that means and where to go to find it. LOL!

Yeah, Sea. It could be that ER is getting to keep and use it! That's what I meant about Survivors seemingly picking up BB's bad habit of changing rules midway! We were wondering if the hii was good for ER to use because of these: Alaginger posted this in 2nd show thread ~~ ---------------------- Regarding the two HIdden II's: 1 - Evil Russell found it without a clue. 2 - There was a paper with it, but it didn't say anything about that it had to be for Galu only. 3 - Yasmin was given a clue and when she read it, it didn't say a word about the only one who could find it at Foa Foa was a Galu player 4 - the quote from the TV Guide before the show that Jezzedout posted above is the only place we have seen these instructions: Probst: "We have two hidden immunity idols, but they have their own set of clues, and you can only find the one that's for your tribe, they can only find the one that's for their tribe. The problem is, they're hidden at the other tribe's camp. So you have to get selected to go over there, and then you have to find it, underneath their eyes." 5 - Jeff did not address the issue in his Blog 6 - So, unless those instructions were posted somewhere for the players to read before the game, on a wall, on a tree, in a phamplet....they do not understand those rules. 7 - When Evil Russell went looking for the II, he said he was looking because there have been ones before.......not that he read somewhere that there was one.......so it was just a "lucky find". 8 - How is it all going to pan out? Nobody seems to know except the Producers of Survivor who aren't letting us know. If you visit any of the other sites (which I do since I'm into looking for spoiling and speculating for the spoiler thread of TVCH), you will see that other posters are speculating all over the place. Some think the rules from TV Guide apply, and some then you can read those words and apply them to mean only the written clues will be given out that way, and some seem to think whoever finds it, regardless, owns it. In Reality, Nobody Knows. ----------------------- I thought these ~~ Excellent! Ginger! It's great to have all of them in the same post. Here's my contribution to this subject: A poster pointed out with screencap that, when ER found the hii, he had actually already gotten those booboos under his left armpit on the left side of his body. Compared w/caps when he talked to Marisa, Ashley ... in the past, those were fresh booboos from the brutal SB RC/IC they just played. So we're wondering, why is CBS making ER out to be such a great player? He obviously "smelled" Yasmin's clue and got the idea of hii. We have no idea if Yas might have shared the clue w/ one of the girls in ER's D.G.alliance and passed it on to him. But it really couldn't be that ER just started to search for "hii" out of no where!!! And, if they're putting him in such a great light, could it mean they will follow BB's lead and have some rule-changing say, change the fact that the hii found on FF camp was only good for a Galu mate??? ~~ I edited some wrong words... Here's my other thought for you, Sea: If that hii ER stumbled on was good for ER to use to immune himself, why did Jeff not say his obligated words of: "If you have the immunity idol, it is time.... " in TC just before the votes???

IMO, I don't think the line about spoiler was necessary. It's only a spoiler if the show hasn't aired yet. So, if he's talking about the previous day's show, it wasn't a spoiler, it was a fact. Right?

The HII could be "used" by Russell to keep from having his name written down in the first place. It seems that in the past few seasons, there was only one time that the group planned for how to flush out the idol without hurting the main alliance, thus enabling them to vote out the idol holder at the next tribal council. Most of the time, though, it seems just the threat of someone using the idol is enough to keep them safe.

That's true, Merry, only if Yasmin did not share her clue with any one on Foa Foa. I assume the clue spelled out how the hii ER found on FF camp ground is only good to save a Galu tribe mate from a Galu TC. ????? English is my second language, but I don't think I missed anything from the pregame intro about the HII rules from Jeff. ???

Merrysea..........that's a very good point. I had not thought of that, nor have I seen it anywhere at any other sites. ER found the hidden II before TC. His tribe did go to TC. He could very well have been targeted at TC. When Jeff went to read the votes, he should have said if anybody has an idol and wants to play it, now is the time.........and he didn't. Good Catch............. Still not sure what it means, but I would still think that Jeff would have addressed it in his Blog since it is a "bone of contention" right now with so many viewers. We can only hope that it will be straightened out for us during the next airing tomorrow night.

Jeff probably didn't mention the idol @ TC b/c no one has been given any clue yet from that tribe.

THat's what I forgot to say also, Panda. ~~ Been busy and trying not to get myself in a knot for nothing, ! In any rate, to me, it translates to: The hii ER found is of no use to ER.

I'll add my two cents! I agree that the hii is of no use to Russell. Jeff probably did not say anything in his blog because then he would be giving something away that may not have been aired yet. I don't think we'll see anything about how the hii found by ER affects his/the game until it is aired. What's the sense of writing about it when the producers probably want situations just like this to keep everyone tuned in? I would hate hate hate to know what is going on before it is on the show (although I'm dying to know)! Should be interesting to say the least!

That was one of my favorite blogs to date. I deeply appreciate that he does NOT just rehash what we saw, his opinions generally amuse me, and I really like that he is not afraid to voice an actual opinion!

I love Jeff... but I feel that he is really trying to convince us to like both Russ and Shambo... kinda like he knows this season is in the can and that the edit focused heavily on those two ... so now, in an effort to save the season, he wants to convince us to like them...

I love Shambo, I don't like ER, but he is playing a better game than Ben did -and I don't despise ER as much as I did Ben. IMHO, Jeff gives us his reaction to the contestants based on what he sees; I don't ever feel like he's trying to convince me to agree - he's just telling us what he thinks. YMMV.

Thanks for Jeff's blog. I agree that was the best one ever. He's seen enough teams upfront and personally, so I thought his perceptions of the "social dynamics" was spot on.

There is no Ponderosa until we get to the jury so we won't see clips until then. The non-jury castoffs go to a different place and I don't think they've ever shown that.

Yup, I called it (over in the Episode thread) - Jeff loved the rain during the challenge, although he did express sympathy for the miserable conditions they're dealing with. His "tease" for next week really has me curious now - I wonder who goes down?
