Okay, Survivor Fever, my favortie source to gather information for you guys from, speculates that.....

All the above pictures of the tackling challenge is the Reward Challenge.
Rewards: Tribes receive menus and warpaint with treemail. Winners choose what items that they want to play for from a menu given before the competition. Winning tribe chooses a lantern, another machete, tarp and ropes. (Reward Spoilers by Jessiek)
--------------------------------------------------

Episode 3 Immunity Challenge: Nut Bucket
Coconut basketball. Probably involves the colored coconuts featured in the TV Guide Preview - Art and Challenge Dept Segments. Perhaps tossing the colored coconuts for tribe members to catch with a net or other object. Not much promo footage available at this time.

Doesn't Joel look like Lou Ferrigno (sp) as that green monster guy? Was it the Hulk?
Or he could play the part of a Neanderthal, easily.

Nothing spoiling, just educated(by MB) guesses:

What do you call that "Y" stick with rubber band type of tool boys use to hit birds with? (Can't remember the name in English! ) Looks to me the Colored coconuts would be ejected out by something like that.

And the "....invades my home,..." statement makes me think that the winner of the "Tackle to protect the BAG war" challenge would be doing the old "Go to the loser tribe and grab one item of your choice". (Sorry about the run-on....)

Hey, this is a lot of fun just speculating from Ginger's findings. Thanks for the gathering!

PS.The RC is called Beach Bash. -- Just read that from MayanSun on Sucks.

PPS. Yes, Catfat, many on the msg boards are calling Joel just that: The Hulk.

The "Y" stick is a sling shot, Chy.

I'm thinking that Joel says that before the challenge cause his make-up looks too fresh to be after the challenge. So, I have no idea why he would say that unless there was something in the clue that came with the make-up that caused him to say it. That one's a ???.

Survivor Fever didn't have any additional information about the Beach Bash, when I checked, and this morning I couldn't get the images from their two last inputs to upload. I'll try again now.

Got 'em to come up this time!!!

Not anything new on the IC that I can see.

On the RC, here is a pic of the starting race, Fans vs Favorites.
1

Also, it looks like Amanda gets an over-the-shoulder dump into the water by one of the guys from the Fans Tribe.
2
Notice the 2 purplish flags hanging down from Parvati's bathing bottom as she and Eliza approach Amanda to help in that situation, and also notice the one reddish/orange flag with the guy from the other tribe.

Not sure what this means....but they obviously have to get that pillow-thing across some line or to some point....and maybe they get a flag when they do it, and then head out for more.

They could be collecting flags (as is often done in RW/RR challenges) or it could be something to steal like in flag football, but I think that is doubtful or Parvati would have someone after her and she wouldn't just be standing there.

I am mystified by the episode title as neither dummy-tackling nor coconut tossing involves a vehicle! The plot thickens -

I personally don't think the chariot-type thing refers to anything in the episode. I'm thinking that maybe somebody like Joel who thinks they did really well in winning a challenge or something, figure they should be applauded and toted around on his comrades shoulders or in a chariot-type thing. Just a guess on my part!

1 "Probst VO: Cirie takes control of her tribe."


I keep bumping into this pic, who is the beefy blond guy with his back to us? Maybe it's Ami but it looks more like a guy. Is Eliza the anorexic looking lady looking towards us? TIA

Looks like a halter top tie in the back of the neck. Probably a girl.....Natalie? Tracy? Blond for sure.

Hey Bis ... I'm sure that's Ami. It can't be Natalie or Tracey cause they are on the Fans tribe, and Cirie is a returning Favorite. Now that there are 9 Favorites left, Cirie is a swing vote and both sides are wooing her. There is another picture of her on the beach addressing or being addressed by the two showmance couples (Ozzy/Amanda and Parvati/James). The other group consists of Jonathan, Yau Man, Eliza and Ami. That is definitely Eliza in the background with her large, buldging eyes and it has to be Ami with her back to us with her hair stuck up under a cap. Here's a couple of pics of Ami that show the black bathing suit ties.

Okay .... up for discussion:

One spoiler, called the SpoilerKing, states that in Episode 3 there is a double boot ... Tracy from the Fans and Yau Man from the Favorites. I see two definite challenges, with the physical one being the Reward Challenge. (By the way, that exchange is supposedly over coral and several are bare-footed and get their feet all cut up, one being Chet.)

So, if the coconut challenge, the one with the big wheel or sling-shot looking thing in the picture with Amanda in the foreground is IC, I'm wondering if they are (1) going for individual immunity per tribe, or (2) the picture is from a later episode, or (3) it's for an additional tribal reward cause each tribe is voting somebody off anyway, or (4) there isn't a double boot at TC.

If I read any more, I'll bring it over. If anybody else sees anything..........jump in!!!

The double boot part is fine; one of them being Yau Man is NOT!

Another possibility about that title could be that....

Cirie, who is the swing vote and very important, might be saying that they need to put her up in a chariot-type thing.

My money is on Cirie or Joel saying the title line.

Pamy .... here's your favorite part ... TC last week!

Tribal Council Voting

Watch as Joel's plan comes into fruition, brutally blindsiding Mary as the tribe cast their votes.

Erik (Mary): I'm voting for Mary tonight simply because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I'm trying to stay true to my loyalties.

Tracy (Mary with a sad face): This is clearly because it's just a numbers game and you're the one he's gonna go with. Sorry.

Joel (Tracy): This vote is for Tracy because on the way over here I realized I needed a failsafe for my two alliances of Alexis and Natalie.

Kathy (Mary): Sorry Mary. I hardly got to know you, but we're trying to shake up your seven man alliance. Nothing personal, but it's not me. (smiles)

Chet (Mary): Mary, you're a great girl but you need to go.

Mary ("Tracey"): My vote tonight is for you, Tracy. I think you're an awesome lady but I do see you as a threat down the line.

Jason (Chet): My vote is for Chet tonight because this is not a laundromat, this is the game of Survivor. I hope you didn't come out halfway around the world to put up a clothesline.

Alexis (Mary with a heart): Girl this absolutely breaks my heart. I just went with the majority. Sorry.

Mikey B (Chet): Chet, you blew it with your body, your brains, and your heart, and that's just not acceptable to be a teammate of mine.

Natalie (Mary): This is absolutely nothing personal. I just have to keep myself here.

From the Survivor Insider:

Joel's Master Plan

"I have spoken with Erik. I've spoken with Alexis. I have spoken with Natalie. I believe that is my strong four. I hope it is. I really hope it is, because if that is a strong four, then this is how I see things working out. Tonight, Mary goes home. That's Mikey's alliance. That's done. Mikey's left with Jason. That's two. Then you have the other three, Tracy, Kathy, and Chet. That's three. We've got 'em beat either way. The only way that it wouldn't be the case is if Mikey and Jason teamed up with Tracy, Kathy, and Chet. Tracy absolutely hates Jason and I don't believe they would ever team up together. They would be smart if they set that aside, but I will let that fester as long as I possibly can and possibly feed it. Chet absolutely hates Jason, I don't see them teaming up. My objective would be to play the three against Mikey and Jason once Mary's gone, for Alexis to still act as though she's in Mikey's pocket, for Erik to act as though he's still very tight with Jason, and for Natalie to still act as though she's outside and doesn't know who she's with, while I'm saying I've got no alignment with anybody, I've got no favoritism, I'm totally impartial, whatever you guys want to do, I'm in."

Okayyyy... I watched last week's episode, I read Ginger's 1:17 post about what they said at TC when they were doing the vote, and I've read Ginger's 1:23 post... and I'm still CONFUSED about Joel's master plan!!! He needs to go soon, so I don't have to worry about trying to understand his plan.

Again, here's my observation/speculation only:

Joel likes to think himself as the most powerful one in the Fans tribe. (Maybe even the most attractive one?? )
He can't stand all the game talk from MIke which shows that Mike has game and possibily followers. (Which happened to be mostly girls right now ... Hummmm ... ) At the same time Joel knows he can't get rid of M just yet since there might not be enough votes and the Fans tribe may still need muscles now.
All in all, to make sure that Joel would be the most important/powerful player, he is going for whomever that looks like Mike's alliance. That is, until he doesn't need Mike and could go straight for him.

But we all know how the long term, short term strategies could hit bumps.....

Sorry 'bout the confusion Lexie....

The Survivor Insider lets us in on things that happened on the last show. I should have spelled that out. So Joel's Master Plan was something he was telling the cameraman during a confessional last week before he masterminded getting rid of Mary.

Basically he was saying that Chet, Kathy and Tracy have an alliance of 3.
He feels he has an alliance of 4, counting Alexis, Erik and Natalie.
Four beats 3, so he is comfortable with that.

His next concern was that Mikey had Mary and he wanted to dump Mary so Mikey would have nobody except maybe Jason, and so far, from what I've read, several aren't getting along with Jason too well.

So, the way I understand it is that Joel talked several into voting Mary off to get rid of Mikey's strong side-kick without losing Mikey's strength for the challenges, but making it look like to Mikey that he is still with him so that Mikey doesn't grab Jason and say "Hey, let's lock up with the 3-odd-ones out (Chet, Tracy and Kathy) to make up a 5-some. 5 would beat 4 and then Joel's big alliance of 4 would not be any good.

The interesting thing will be to see if this pans out or not. I read an interview today that Mary did this week after being the bootee and she said that Joel was on a power trip and that Joel is very paranoid and that a lot of the tribemates haves talked about that. Oh, and that he is 6' 5" tall???
