Okay........as of today Survivor Fever has updated their boot sheet and it reads like this. Episode 12: Alexis - vulnerable Erik - vulnerable James - Medivac'd in Episode 12? (notice the ?) Since some posters at other sites have thought Natalie was being set up to be blindsided, I should point out that right now Survivor Fever shows: Natalie: safe in Episode 12

Tribal Council Voting - from last week: The tribe split their votes in fear of the Hidden Immunity Idol. Watch as they cast off another blindsided Survivor. Amanda (Jason): I think you're a great person. This is a purely strategic move tonight. I wish you the best of luck in everything that you do. And you are playing a better social game towards the end, except for all the clams...(whispers) I found them all. But yeah, you did step up your game. Good job. Alexis (James): Sorry James, you're the biggest threat out here right now. It's not personal. Jason (James): James, you played a good game. Unfortunately, Parvati got you in the end. Yeah, take care. Cirie (Jason): People don't change overnight. Sorry. James (Parvati): You couldn't just frolic naked and enjoy the heavens. You had to eat the damn apple. Parvati (Jason): You should really chew with your mouth closed. Seriously. It's bad. Erik (Jason): See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya. Natalie (James): This doesn't necessarily mean you're going home tonight, and this is not what the vote is for. Hopefully it's an avoided vote because I love ya. You'll still be here.

Wow. Another reason why I'm not on the Parvati Fan-wagon. She's not that nice of a person, is she?

Not so sure if I was able to break this up and shrink it so that you could view it or not, but here goes: From the T.V. Guide
Image was too large, so I've given you the left side and then the right side.
This is obviously before the RC where the Family Reunion happens and James is still there, plus notice that Alexis already has the knee brace thing on her left knee.

Well, everywhere I go to check things out, it is almost unanimously agreed that: 1) Two leave during Episode 12 2) One is Medivac'd - James 3) One is booted - Alexis 4) Alexis is injured at the knee (or it is faked to cover why they are having her leave the game). 5) James and Alexis are spoiled as having entered a restricted area and taking food, so the show sees to it that they leave this episode one way or the other....(this is spoiled, but might just be something somebody made up...but it sure is looking like it is coming to fruition).

Jeffs' Weekly Preview! (Thanks to Survivor Skills) Survivor I'm Gonna Fix Her! The survivors need assistance from a medical team who will determine if they are stable enough to stay in the game. VoiceOver: Jeff: Well this week on Survivor, once again the Survivor medical team has to come in, and intervene, and decide whether or not to make a million dollar decision. These are the times on the show when I'm reminded how serious it is when it is literally out of our hands. The way it works on our show is that if the medical department decides somebody has to leave the game, they have to leave the game. They can also decide that they should stay in the game. That decision is going to come up, again, on Survivor. Plus, one of my favorite challenges. This is where we ask very personal questions, who's the bossiest, who smells the worse, who do you never want to see again. We do it this time with the Survivor loved ones right there. Very touching challenge, for sure. Jeff at Challenge: Who mistakenly thinks they are in control of this game? And, an on-going theme of this great season, the Idol comes into play, yet again. You will not be disappointed, Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites.

REALITY TV WORLD ARTICLE: MORE SURVIVORS LEAVE W/O TORCH BEING SNUFFED: Jeff Probst: Another 'Survivor: Micronesia' castaway to leave sans vote. By Christopher Rocchio, 04/28/2008 Jonathan Penner and Kathleen Sleckman apparently aren't the only Survivor: Micronesia -- Fans vs. Favorites castaways who leave the competition without having their torches snuffed. It's been a crazy season, and it's not over," Survivor host Jeff Probst told USA Today in an interview published Monday. "We're not done having people have to leave the game for reasons other than being voted out." "So what do you mean? An accident or something like that?" USA Today reporter Will Keck asked Probst. Something like that," he responded. While Probst never identified which of the seven remaining Survivor: Micronesia castaways left the game will leave without being voted out, the comments most likely indicate that former Survivor: China castaway James Clement isn't long for the Micronesia game. During last Thursday night's broadcast, Clement was shown sitting around the Dabu camp with a nasty cut on his right ring finger. "James' finger really wasn't doing too good," commented fellow castaway and real-life nurse Cirie Fields. "He's had this cut on it for a few days now. It was kind of swollen and kind of infected. You cannot just assume, 'Oh, this little cut. It's okay. So what we're living in a damp, nasty cave with rats and bats around us every 15 minutes. No. This will be fine.'" Clement told Fields he had been putting coconut oil on the cut -- but that apparently wasn't cutting it, as the injury was later shown to be bandaged and Probst informed him it would need medical attention. "James, on your way out, I want [the] medical [folks] to look at your finger," Probst told Clement after the Tribal Council that saw Jason Siska's elimination. Penner was the first Survivor: Micronesia castaway to leave the competition without being voted out, as he was medically evacuated on Day 15 due to a puncture wound in his knee that became infected. Then four days later, Sleckman quit the competition due to the emotional toll it was taking on her. Should Clement exit because of his finger, he would represent the fifth Survivor castaway evacuated from the game due to medical reasons. In addition to Penner, Survivor: The Australian Outback castaway Michael Skupin was evacuated after he suffered burns from falling into his tribe's fire pit; Survivor: Panama castaway Bruce Kanegai was evacuated due to severe stomach pain and constipation; and Survivor: Fiji castaway Gary "Papa Smurf" was evacuated after suffering an allergic reaction to bug bites he received.

Greetings fellow watchers: We're getting down to the nitty gritty on "Survivor: Micronesia." Just three episodes left, with the finale wrapping things up on Sunday, May 11. We're told in the previews that JAMES may be evacuated because of his bad finger, and the consensus is that he indeed does. We're also told that Tribal Council will bring another blindside; most of the information points to the victim being ALEXIS. A lot happens to Alexis this week; she injures her knee and wins the family-visit reward before heading home. Look for Erik to win Immunity, forcing the women to take out one of their own. And look for Amanda to go to Exile Island and return with the Hidden Immunity Idol. BOOT ODDS Alexis: 60% Natalie: 20% Erik: 19% Someone else: 1% That’s all for now. Happy viewing, Michael Hewitt The Watcher 562-413-0600 www.ocregister.com/pedrowatcher

Great show tonight! Just as expected. Chy said (in the May 1st thread): how about when James' father commented about Alexis? "We will be talking about her back home(PP) ..." HAHa! Hmmmm, wonder if that was a prophecy type of comment from James' father, or if the parents knew that both James and Alexis were supposed to make an exit? Actually, it does make things more fair since neither one lasted longer to collect a bigger paycheck and both ended up on the jury, same night. Really quite an edit job tonight, downright believable if it turns out that James & Alexis were sent packing cause they 'bit the apple'. I just can't see all these people doing such great acting jobs. That was truly a fantastic episode!

I agree.. and I was so pleased that Cirie and her husband got to go on the reward.. as soon as I saw him, of course I remembered what a great couple they are and thought really they should get to go, so was pleased when Jeff said she could choose four people, but worried that she'd choose otherwise.

I thought Cirie showed her hand a little too much during the reward challenge. The first rope she cut was Amanda's and then when she had the opportunity to pick between Amanda and Alexis for the reward she picked Alexis. I hope Amanda took notice. I don't know why they wouldn't want James over for dinner...he seems polite enough and I don't think there's anything he wouldn't eat so you'd be safe no matter what you made or how bad you made it (which would work for me since I don't cook) Still hoping for a Parv/Amanda/Cirie final 3 with Amanda for the win. I'm still smiling over last nights TC...Amanda is my new hero!!

They have remarked before about how much James eats and they have even teased him about it.

I agree. James will eat anything (bat soup) and will eat alot of it I am sure if given a chance. That was the reason he was chosen, not because they don't like him. I think James has had most of the funny comments shown on the show. And then to see his dad make a funny comment about Alexis. I was saying THAT'S where he gets it from. This was the one of the best eppy's .
