CBS Misdirection

After an epic battle between tribes of Fans and Favorites, the tribes are finally mixed up. Will old tribal lines stick, or will former enemies now try to work together?

Survivor: Micronesia
Episode 5 Promo Voiceover

Jeff Probst: Next time on Survivor...

1
Probst (talking to both tribes): Drop your buffs, we're switching tribes.
2
3
4
Pic of 2 tribes before announcement, and then
Fans tribe after announcement. Oh ... and Eliza
looks kinda happy about it.

Probst: The fans mix with the favorites. And a physical challenge puts some Survivors in jeopardy.
5
What's Johnathan doing over there in line behind
some of the Fans??? looking at his knee???
6
And Chet on the ground talking up to Joel.
7
And Tracy in the middle of the challenge with somebody in front of her falling down.

8
Jonathan (getting injection in his knee): "screams in pain" Damn-it:

Eliza (confessional): Apparently he could lose his leg.

Okay.........it's very early yet, but Danni over at Survivor Skills who is very good at analyzing thinks from the pictures that she sees this kind of a tribe split.

Airai:
Alexis, James, Natalie, Kathy, Jason, Jonathan, Eliza, Parvati

Malakal:
Joel, Chet, Erik, Tracy, Ozzy, Cirie, Amanda, Ami


If so, this would answer why I see Jonathan in a line up with people from the Fans Tribe. It will also answer why Chet is on the ground, looking like a whipped puppy, looking up at Joel. And, it would answer why the picture picture of James laughing with Alexis and Kathy standing behind him is there. Ooops! I need to go get that picture.

Oh, you are right, Seamonkey. I did not notice that when I looked at it this morning. It must be written in the scripting for the show.

Parvati with a swollen, bruised lip

3
Joel takes a big fall

4
Jason seems to run (or be pulled into) a pole

5
And we still have Jonathan's knee that was posted above.

The Medivacs are definitely called in.

Based on the picture above of the Favorites with their hands out holding a colored marble/rock, analysts at Surviver Blows say....

Ozzy is the picker for the "Purple Tribe, Malakal"....where as whoever draws the "orange" rock at the fans tribe will be the picker.

1
Note: Here is the new Malakal tribe(purple) standing in the order that they have been picked...Ozzy, the picker, Joel, Amanda, Eric, Ami, Tracy, Cirie, and last and least...Chet.
**********************************
Per the T.V. Guide Ad:
Several people are injured in a REWARD CHALLENGE. and they require medical treatment for the injuries!! A Female catches a shark,and all of her tribemates enjoy eating it. At Tribal Council one member is voted out.
From above pictures we know that Jonathan and Parvati are injured. From this picture of Erik holding the shark, we see Amanda to the side, so she must be the female who killed a shark.
2
******************************
Thanks to Survivor Fever I can summarize this information:
The RC is being promoted as very "dangerous," and indeed, there are at least two injuries.
Apparently, teams of two same-sex members from the different tribes must be roped together and run through a wooded area. The object is to "capture the flag" of your opponent.
From the Orange Tribe:
James is tied to Jason (Jason is slammed into a pole/tree)
Parvati is tied to Eliza (Parvati gets fat lip)
From the Purple tribe:
Joel is tied to Chet (Joel drags Chet around on the ground)
Amanda is tied to another female (could be Cirie, Ami or Tracy)
Ozzy is tied to Erik
Since we can’t see everybody in the pics given, it might mean that there is another leg to the challenge. But since Jonathan is injured, and it’s probably in this challenge, it looks
more like this challenge only has the one leg and the others compete, we just don’t see them in the pics.

Survivor Fever has updated the bootsheet for Episode 5:

For New Malakal:
Ami: Slightly Vulnerable
Chet: Vulnerable
Joel: Most Vulnerable

For New Arai:
John Penner: Vulnerable
Kathy: Vulnerable

Looks to me like they think Malakal will lose the IC and boot Joel or Chet ..... and then from Arai maybe they have one or two medivacs out or not. I would think if they have a medivac, it's only one and they are touting Jonathan's leg injury in the previews, but that could just be misdirection.

Joel: Most Vulnerable in Episode 5

So, do the spoilers say that Jonathan is Medivac'd and doesn't come back, or does he just get treatment and then return?

The little they showed made it look like a puncture wound. It looked nasty.

The spoilers speak of quitter(s)/medivac(s) for the whole season. I'm not allowed to talk about specifics that are speculated or spoiled for the whole season in this thread, which is just about Episode 5.

John definitely has treatment, as does Parvati, by the Meds. Whether he is one to be medivac'd is not set in concrete as a spoiler.

I hope that made sense (LOL). Go over to the other thread, and I'll spell it out a little better.

Per Survivor Challenge Speculations This Morning:

Episode 5 Reward Challenge: Cat and Mouse
Two cats and two mice are on the field at a time.
The Survivors are randomly put in same-sex pairs. The pairs are tied together with a rope attached to a tribal-colored belt around their waists. Each Survivor is also given a tribal-colored "flag" to wear somewhere on their person. The object of the challenge is to steal the other teams colored "flags". Therefore, paired teams must catch the other tribal pairs and steal their flags.
Pairs we see:
Orange: James & Jason; Eliza & Parvati
Purple: Joel & Chet; Amanda & ? (either Ami, Cirie or Tracy)
Ozzy and Erik
We also see Joel (dragging Chet) taking a nose dive into the mud and just barely missing "catching" Parvati.

Challenge layout from challenge board spoilers (TV Guide Preview)

2
Amanda and Jason are confronting each other to try to steal each other's flags.

3
Ozzy and Erik are paired

Well, this really blew my mind. Here's the verbage from last week's voting confessional:
*************************************
Tribal Council Voting


The Fans strategically send home another strong player, Mikey. Watch as they cast their votes.

Jason ("Chet!"): Again, my vote is for Chet. Please leave the island.

Alexis (Chet): Like Jason said, this is just hoping we have a stronger team so we can start winning some more challenges. It's not personal, Chet.

Chet (Mike): Mike, you've been a loudmouth from day one and you never seem to learn.

Natalie (Mikey B; doesn't quite look at the camera): Gotta do it.

Mikey B (Chet): Even though it's obviously not you, Romper Room has gotten the best of me. Even though it's not you, probably, it seems Romper Room has gotten the best of us.

Tracy (Mike): This is because you were completely dishonest with me from day one, you never gave me a chance. No hard feelings.

Joel (Mike): (smiles and folds his vote)

Kathy (Mikey B with a sad face): This actually makes me feel kind of sad cause I kind of like you, Mike, but everyone...this is consensus, so I guess it's your time to go. But I'm sorry, cause I actually kind of liked you.

Erik (Mikey B): I'm voting for you cause I don't trust you right now and this tribe needs some unity, it really does need unity. You don't have that. You can't bring that. I'm sorry.

**********************************
Why did it blow my mind?

Cause I thought Alexis was in an alliance with Joel, yet she voted with Jason and Mikey. I also thought that Natalie and Alexis were big buddies on the show, and they voted differently. Hmmmmm!!! Blows my mind!

From Jeff Probst's preview video of Episode 5...

All the other pictures show people hugging and/or bonding on their new mixed-up tribes, and we already have a list of who is on each tribe...

That's exactly why I thought they were switching teams earlier than usual, to give the fans a chance to play the game with the faves.

Based on what I'm reading this morning at Survivor Skills and Survivor Blows:

New Airai will win both challenges tonight.
Malakal will have to send somebody home.
Joel still seems to be the one to get the boot (and I base that on other information that I can't post here...but will post in the other thread that covers the whole season).
Jonathan will not be medivac'd
And Amanda catches a 4 foot shark

Greetings fellow watchers:

Should be a fun week on "Survivor: Micronesia." We know that we're getting a tribal swap, which is always bad news for someone.

CBS gave away the new tribal rosters in last week's preview:

Malakal (purple) tribe: Amanda, Ami, Chet, Cirie, Erik, Joel, Ozzy, Tracy

Airai (orange) tribe: Alexis, Eliza, Kathy, James, Jason, Jonathan, Natalie, Parvati

For this week's boot, we're once again making an educated guess. The previews show the new Malakal tribe struggling through a challenge, setting up strife between Chet and Joel. The bad news for Joel is that he lands on a tribe with four Favorites and two members of his old tribe's Outcast band.

That adds up to JOEL as our predicted boot for the week.

Boot probabilities

JOEL 65%
Chet 24%
Kathy 10%
Someone else 1%

That’s all for now.

Happy viewing,

Michael Hewitt

The Watcher
