Promo and Pics --- Thanks to Survivor Fever: Transcript: Jeff Probst: Next time on Survivor...
Randy: I'm gonna burn this house down. Jeff: Randy stirs up the camp.
Crystal (in confessional): He's reeking (and wreaking?) havoc.
Sugar: I think he's crazy.
Randy (talking to Matty): You're on the outs. The final three in this game is Kenny, Crystal and Susie. You're not part of it.
Corinne (in confessional): We have to get this right. If we get this right the whole game will change. Jeff: But Kenny will not be denied.
Kenny (talking to Crystal): I am right now...the glue that's holding you guys together.

Posters at Survivor Skills since to think this next episode is the auction episode. Based on the title, that seems like a very good assumption. Now does that mean that somebody just says the title when they are handed the money? ... or that somebody would prefer to keep the money rather than spend it on an auction item?

Jeff Probst blogs 'Survivor: Gabon' (episode 9) Nov 14, 2008, 06:32 AM | by Jeff Probst Categories: 'Survivor', Reality TV, Television, Things That Are Awesome! No need to bury the lead. One of my favorite moments of the entire season happened about seven minutes into this episode. Corrine's reaction to Marcus being voted out. It was almost as good as waiting for Santa to come. First the Macaulay Culkin "hands to the face" reaction made famous in Home Alone and then the verbal response that revealed the rest of her truth: "I'm pissed. He didn't deserve to leave the game." Which prompted Kenny's very fair question, "Who does?" This is why we are still on the air and why I still love hosting Survivor after 17 seasons. Human nature. It is nearly impossible to hide our true selves, especially in times of conflict. "He didn't deserve to leave the game." Only seven words. But judging from Kenny's clenched jaw reaction, those seven words might have just sealed Corrine's fate. Charlie was less upset and less vocal, and you saw what happened to him. Gone. I fully admit that it is sooooo easy for me to backseat drive. I'm not playing this game, living in the middle of Africa on nothing, my mind overloaded with strategy, wondering who I can trust, dealing with those annoying bug bites and having an obnoxious host up in my face all the time. And hey, I'd be "pissed" too if they took out my ally. Marcus was good. Too good to let stay in the game. Corrine, Charlie, and Marcus had a real shot at going to the end and if so, Marcus wins hands down. He was that good. So I fully lay down and concede that I don't think I could hack this game, and as I have said hundreds of time, I have the utmost respect for anybody who raises their hand to endure this thing called Survivor. Now that I've cleared my conscience...it's time to get back to lipping off. Corrine, it's just a thought, but when you sense the horse is going in a different direction, it might be wise to lessen your hold on the reins and let the horse guide the way. This horse is definitely going in a different direction and the person sitting in the saddle is Kenny. Kenny is...the new kid in town. Watching Kenny come of age is reality's version of watching great Shakespeare. He's maturing from a young man into a leader...and in this game that means he may soon gain the throne. Ah, but if he gets too cocky, the gods will descend and a beheading is soon to follow. Watch yourself Kenny. A healthy dose of humility could help win you a million dollars. I have to share a story about the golf challenge. There was much debate between the creative team about whether this challenge was going to provide enough drama. We just weren't sure, so we were hoping we might catch a break and get some really great reality during the challenge and as Survivor luck would have it, we did. Thank you, Randy, for being so pushy, and thank you, Matty, for pushing back. "No, you can't do it, Randy." Love that moment. If you were paying close attention, Randy was absolutely right in what he was saying. "Just hold it over the hole and drop it." Ah, but once again human nature takes over, and Matty couldn't see straight to save his life. Personally, I'm just so glad I'm perfect and have no issues whatsoever to deal with. I'm kidding. And while I'm at it, yes I read the comments you leave at EW.com, and yes, I know many of you think "Probst sucks." Whatever. Man I love this blogging. Cheapest therapy yet. Then there is the reward where once again, more human nature revealed itself. Corrine smiled! Corrine took the hand of a small child! Dare I say, Corrine loved!! Let them eat cake!! She has a heart! She is human! Yeah! And when Corrine smiles, I am reminded, Corrine is pretty damn attractive. The merge – finally. Nuff said. Question: How often has being eliminated in a challenge or at tribal council come down to making fire? Well, I don't know the exact number, but...it's a lot! I promise you if I was going to be on this show I would make certain I could make fire while blindfolded, untying knots, and solving a puzzle, 'cause that's what we do on Survivor! REI sells flint for five bucks! Order online and you don't even have to leave your house! My final observation: Bob should work in the Survivor art department because the fake immunity idol he made is incredible. Truly beautiful. Still not exactly sure how he pulled it off but there had to be a bit of smelting going on and I don't even know what smelting means! His students back home in Maine should be proud! "Ole teach" is working it and the merge has given Bob new life! Next time on...Survivor. One of the best episodes of the season. No hype. Pure truth.

Ohhh I hope they think Bob found the II they tossed in the ocean and he needs to step back, observe and talk to all the members of the merged tribe.

Interesting tidbit about Sugar out of the mouth of Charlie in a recent interview: RNO: Speaking of her, Corinne and others obviously had a pretty low opinion of Sugar’s intelligence and ability to play the game. What did you think? Charlie: Sugar, I think she’s getting the most inaccurate edit. She was very unlikable out there. She was kind of like a princess. She demanded where to sleep in the hut. She tore up our bags and would wear them as dresses without asking; she would wear our clothes without asking. She said what on her mind all the time and did what she wanted to do. That’s great in real life, but in Survivor, I never felt like she stepped back and thought, “Is this fight really a strategic move? Is tearing up their bags going to piss people off?” And she aligned with the one person originally in Kota that everybody despised, Ace. I sort of wrote her off as making big errors in this game. As a viewer, she was playing the game more than I thought. But I think she was duped a lot – she goes along with the last person who talked to her. She aligned herself with the big alpha male, first Ace, then Marcus, then she clung to Matty. I think she’s playing the game more than I thought she was, but I don’t think she’s playing the game very well.

Okay Pamy ... your favorite part ... the Tribal Council Voting that took out sweet Charlie!!! Tribal Council Voting Watch what each tribe member had to say as they cast their votes Randy ("CC"): Biotch. Sugar (takes a long time and cries before she writes out Charlie with a sad face): Sorry, Charlie, but you've picked two of the worst allies you could possibly pick when I have to make a vote. (flashes a peace sign) I'm a traitor. Sorry. Matty (Charlie): Charlie, you're a hell of a guy, you played a very good game, but it's time for you to go. Susie (Charlie): Charlie, you're a good competitor. I've gotta take you out if I'm gonna move ahead. Hope we can still be friends. Crystal (Charlie): You are a big threat and you are hurting my alliance. Sorry, but you've gotta go. Ken ("Charley" with a sad face): Sorry, Charlie. It's not like I'm a homophobic. It's just that...at that feast, you took the hidden immunity idol away from me...and...uh...I thought, I gotta get you for that. Sorry. Bob (Crystal): Sorry, Crystal. It's a game. Hope to see you later. Corinne (Crystal): You're a bully, and I don't want to play this game with you. I hope you go home tonight. Charlie (Crystal): Word on the street is that you're a really mean person, but that's beside the point. You took out my Marcus, and that makes me really mad.

So,in Charlie's interview, he said "She aligned herself with the big alpha male, first Ace, then Marcus, then she clung to Matty." Since Charlie was on the jury, he would continue to see how it would play out. I didn't think they spent that long together. So, does he mean that her and Matty go far in the game? Will she vote however Matty votes? Matty seemed pretty tight with Ken last night, even Jeff said so in his blog. Just some things to ponder...

good thoughts Kooklie, I also am thinking that she would have done all those 'bad things' with her old tribe (the one that is currently being torn apart)because Charlie is first off after merge. so if she is not like that now she may coast thru with matty and ken, which would make me happy! Hell, throw Susie in and make it a happy 4some. I have the 2 S's in the work pools so all is good!

Seems funny, but Matty and Sugar as a twosome are in a good spot, being coveted by each opposing side of three to help reduce the numbers on the other side. If they could swing back and forth for a couple of more episodes, they could even the score and then join up with one side or the other to make it to Final Four.

I don't know if this is really worth bringing over here or not. When it first came up, I didn't bring it over because I didn't think it meant anything. In one of Jeff's Blogs, in talking about Matty, he made the following statement. Posters picked up on it as a potential spoiler of players who lasted the longest in the game....but, as I said, I didn't think it spelled it out necessarily. Well, Dani, over at Survivor Skills has reposted it this week to call to our attention that it is starting to shape up to have been a potential spoiler, after all. Take a look........ quoting Dani: *************************************** I also like to take this opportunity to revisit the Jeff Spoiler Alert! "Matty, Matty, Matty. He's like a Billy Joel song. Wearing his heart on his sleeve. He must stay in this game a long time. Along with Kenny, Crystal, Corrine, Randy, and Sugar." Dani then shows that the players at the time that this statement was made that were not mentioned were Charlie, Bob, Marcus, and Susie ... and now Charlie and Marcus are gone. If this is a spoiler, then we have to assume that Susie and Bob are next to go. If not, then it was never a slip made by Jeff and a spoiler to start with.

Combination of Voice Overs and Pics from a couple more Promos: ****************************

Per the Episode 10 Press Release: The Survivor Auction ignites an existing rivalry, prompting a heated argument that puts the whole tribe on edge.
RC Canister
Randy at auction - (See Bob's hand on Randy's shoulder)
Matty at auction - Seems to get a happy reward
"Oh, No" reaction at auction from Kenny
Similar reaction from Corinne, but not at the same time. Maybe she got something gross. Episode 10 Immunity Challenge Walking across color coded beams while carrying bags of puzzle pieces that are collected along the course.
Overview of the IC

Matty balancing
Beam and shoe (Randy or Matty???)
Bob takes a fall
Sugar is balancing well

the part where he says will they be able to tell which II is real has me thinking. Wouldn't it be outstanding if Sugar and Bob got together and switched hers with his and tricked Corrine? They wouldnt be able to fool Crystal cuz she saw when she went thru her bags (which still irritates me even though it's allowed, really wish they didnt have to keep it at all)

why is Corrine the only one carring a torch? they sure look gloomy. I would love it if Sugar won the IC. She looks steady but maybe goes slow. Matty looks like he is going to run threw it like Ozzy did in past beam type challenge

I'm not sure but if you look between the heads of Corrine and Susie,I see something that looks like a necklace on Crystal.

(LOL) Luvvy!!! And I see something looking over Randy's shoulder onto Matty's shoulder that could just be a canteen strap. Only thing for sure is that Susie, Corinne and Randy do not have it, and with Bob falling, I can't see him having it. Crystal would really surprise me....so I think Matty or Kenny probably have it.
