Cable guy came Monday and left a temporary cable laying above the ground for the ground people to come back and bury underground. Lawn people came today and broke the connection for us to the Internet, so have a serviceman coming back tomorrow afternoon (Saturday). So, pictures right now from me is out of the question.

I'm at the library right now using their system to at least get this thread set up, and I'll go see what verbiage I can bring over.........but just can't do pictures (Sorry!!!) ... Ginger

CBS Misdirection - Episode 7

What is a true friend? This is the question some Castaways try to answer in a heated argument about loyalty.

The fierce hunt for Hidden Immunity Idols continues, as private property is violated and one Castaway falsely believes three Idols are in play.

Later the tribes merge, and one Castaway torn between two alliances holds a lot of power--literally.

In one of the most surprising Tribal Councils yet, one Castaway feels invincible and makes a shocking revelation.

Spoilers for Episode 7:

Per TDT, there will be no Reward Challenge. Instead there will be a merge at 10 players, with a feast and show. The new tribe will be named Hae Da Fung, and as soon as I can do pictures again, I'll bring you a pic of the new flag signed by all the players, unless somebody else wants to go do that sooner.

There are pictures of James over at Zhan Hu at the Hidden II there, and there are also pictures of Erik holding one of the plaques. The speculation is that James has both plaques from both camps that have the wording on the back of "Congratulations --- blah, blah, blah Immunity" and that Erik is holding one that has no writing on the back. Again, as soon as I can get pictures up, I'll bring them so Chy can tell us what they say.

Since there is no RC there will be no RC winner, and there will be nobody kidnapped, and there will probably be no new clue to the Hidden II.

The Immunity Challenge should be for individual immunity, but that is not definite yet. "Retention To Detail" is the title of the IC. Who wins immunity is not listed yet at TDT.

Boot - spoiled for quite awhile is - Jean Robert (a lot of people's dream come true!!!)

Okay, I will now forever think of the merged team's name as How's de Funk, which is how I imagine they smell after all this time in the wilderness.

In the spoiler above it says that "The fierce hunt for Hidden Immunity Idols continues, as private property is violated and one Castaway falsely believes three Idols are in play."....I think that maybe this is what the previews show erik holding-one of James' HII.

TVClubhouse won't let me upload images right now.
???

Erik is holding the one that sayd Blessings, FU'.



The name of the merge sounds like "Black Big Wind" to me. I need to see the Chinese before I'm 100% sure though.



Let's see if it worked?

Don't read now, Chy is gonna talk about the merge name! :-)

Fung could be Phoenix! That's considered the counter part of Dragon.

Well, I'm surprised. It's after 7 PM and all of a sudden I can get on-line and the serviceman hasn't even been here. Too Weird!!! Meanwhile, here are the pics as promised.

I see Chy has already captured the flag pic, so I don't have to go do that.....great!!!

Okay. I was wrong a long while back about the Hii word on ZH's camp. (The one James is spying in the Caps Ginger brought over.

Another Chinese poster on Sucks recognized the word as Longevity. Not Spring!

It is in Simplified Chinese, rather than the Traditional Chinese I grew up with.

Few more pictures up, but not much:

Survivor: China Episode 7
Promo VoiceOver

1
(This is James and Amanda reading the back of the plaque. I'm assuming this was the first one, over at Fei Long)
VO: Powerhouse Survivor James has an Immunity Idol.

2
(This is a further confimation picture that James, in deed, does removed a plaque over at Zhan Hu.}
VO: Can he find another? Or will it fall into someone else's hands?

3
Jaime: I'm not as dumb as I look.
(Now we know who says that title of the show.)

Update from over at TDT regarding the Hidden II at Zhan Hu:

"Update: As several people have pointed out, the idol Erik is holding is a poorly-carved imitation of the real one James obtained last week, one that fails to comply with the fourth clue's 'etched finer' requirement (and probably also lacking the 'You may have already won $1,000,000!' message). Which explains the CBS clue: 'The fierce hunt for Hidden Immunity Idols continues, as private property is violated and one Castaway falsely believes three Idols are in play.'"

Alaginger, those don't look like James's hands. I think they are Eric's.

Thanks JuJu.....I can't believe I got sucked in like that. There were a whole bunch of pictures of James looking at the plaque, and then moving towards the plaque, and then the hands removing the plaque..........and I just let my eyes see what I thought it wanted to see. I hope I don't confuse too many people with the above post under the non-James hands.

I still think James gets the Zhan Hu Hidden II plaque, and that Eric takes down the other plaque which is not the II...........but those are probably, just as you said, Erics hands taking down a plaque.

Oh that is a relief.. yes if Eric says "this looks idolish" then it cannot have the words on the back saying it IS an idol, right? I don't want him or Jaime to get one.

I couldn't believe Todd announcing to all and sundry (except J-R) about finding the idol.

Yes, I couldn't believe that either. I have seen discussion about it on many of the other sites. Several think the way you and I think, Sea ... but others are saying he was using his head and trying to keep his alliance together.

Yeah, it was actually on a need to know base when Todd let Denise in on that. Denise and Courtney sat out during the RC. According to the rule Jeff talks about again & again, one can not sit out "back to back". For Todd's plan to work, he needed all to be 100%. Todd needs them to win the IC in order for James to go back and vote Jaime off single-handely!
Frosti and Amanda was there when Todd "found" the Hii. Courtney was in his alliance and was going to be in the IC...
Todd did not tell J-R since there was no "need".

Some might argue that he did not have to give James the Hii he found in the first place. But Todd gave his word that if James gives him the "Sealed tube" with clues, he was going to come up with a way to save James. This move also secured a scrwony Todd some sort of a protection, a very strong future II winner! If we could tell from watching James in action during the six hours we've seen, Todd could certainly tell the same thing we learned: James would be very loyal! (And for me, I also noticed that James will not think too much down the line. He is worried by how he feels now mostly.)Being handed the Hii from Todd is probably at least one thousand times better feeling than sitting in ZH waiting for the three remaining toothless tigers to come and take you out!! :D

I'm also going to say that James might be the one feeling "invincible" since he will most likely have BOTH Hiis in his beg when he walks in TC. :-) <It's too early to tell you yet, but if you want to, there's talks about how the others dealt with that situation later on.>

Ginger, I'm too tired to do so, but MayanSun has a bunch of new caps on Survivorfever.

For individual IC, they're supposed to pay close attention at the details while some Chinese Acrobats perform???
That's my understanding, don't fault Mayan if it's wrong. :-)
I had thought that they were going to be teased and show who holds the power and all. You remember, the kind of game that whenever you'd get a correct answer about your mates you'll get to take out "marks" of others of your choice....

Yes, Chy .... this is not one of those "Pecking Order" type of challenges. It says, "If you miss anything, you will miss the clues!" So, they watch the performance and then, I guess, get quizzed about it.

I have good news and I have bad news!!!

The good news is that I get to go on a trip starting early Thursday with 8 other ladies and will not be back til Sunday.

The bad news is that I will not be here to get the thread set up again, or bring any pictures over....so when I get back I'll check to see what's up, and then I'll go from there.
