CBS website clues: Tension boils over as food runs dangerously low after some Castaways over-indulge in three meals a day. One Castaway is tossed around like a rag doll during a Reward Challenge. Will her performance cause her tribe to toss this rag doll right out of Gabon? One Castaway sets out to prove her strength on Exile Island. Will emotions caused by the recent death of a loved one prove to be an inspiration or a hindrance to her success?

Promo Transcript: Jeff Probst: Next time on Survivor... G.C.: Randy, are you like the leader of the tribe now?
Jeff: Fang is a tribe with big problems. Randy: No, we decided that this tribe dudn't need a leader. Drop it.
G.C.: I don't have to drop nothin', man. I can ask you something if I want.
Jeff: They've lost 3 challenges in a row. [footage of challenge] Now they're in for the fight of their lives to stay in the game.
Ginger: In the above images I see Charlie and Bob trying to pull Dan off a pole he is clinging to and drag him across some line. You see Crystal virtually plucking Paloma from a pole. I see Randy's head in some part of the challenge pulling on some gal I can't identify. In the last picture you see Dan still hanging on at that pole with Bob's back to us, looking over at where Crystal probably is dragging Paloma and you can hear Dan holler out ... "Crystal. Do It!" Don't know if this is Reward or Immunity Challenge.

Not Spoiling, just guesswork........but, I've read over at Survivor Blows that analyzing the web clues and the promo, the following is believed: 1 - Fang finally wins a challenge. 2 - If Fang wins IC, then Paloma is the only one over at Survivor Fever that is listed as vulnerable (the weakest). (Also, not part of the Marcus, Charlie, Jacque, Corinne Quartet). 3 - Sugar appears to go to Exile Island since in pre-interviews she mentions the death recently of somebody very close to her. Sugar going to Exile would also infer a Fang IC win.

Sugar lost her dad recently, so that's probably correct.. http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/survivor_gabon/2008_Sep_22_jessica_sugar_kiper

Lots of good stuff in here from Jeff Probst's Blog after the Episode 1 Show..... ********************************** Jeff Probst blogs 'Survivor: Gabon'! Sep 26, 2008, 07:21 AM | by Jeff Probst Categories: 'Survivor', Reality TV, Television, Things That Are Awesome! The Emmy-winning host of 'Survivor' has agreed to drop us a line every week with his take on the latest episode and the behind-the-scenes action in Gabon. It doesn't get any better than this, folks. --PopWatch So we let the Survivors pick their own tribes, which is always risky, and this episode only reinforces why it is probably not a great idea. What were the people on the Fang tribe thinking? I am constantly amazed at the choices that get made on this show. Friday morning quarterbacking is easy to do on Survivor but some of the choices still make me scratch my head. It's not the last time they'll make questionable choices either. I loved the opening-challenge dilemma of either selfishly racing to the top of the hill or selflessly staying behind to help your tribe. Actions speak louder than words. Marcus and G.C., good for you. Hope that first episode immunity really pays off for you 'cause it may cost you later. Not sure what to make of Ace. I love him on the show. He's gold. But I have the same question everybody else probably has…is the accent real? If not, how much effort does it take to keep it "on" all the time? Did you see Crystal hoofing it up the side of that hill? Crystal is a former Olympic athlete. Wait, GOLD MEDALIST! I thought for sure she was pretending to be slow as a strategy, but she wasn't. She said she was used to "lighter shoes." Fair enough. She was a track star not a rock climber. Randy getting injured was a nice bonus for episode 1. Anytime there is an injury, along with blood or stitches, it's usually good for the show. Randy is going to be a star if he can last long enough. Everything he says cracks me up. I also think most of it is heartfelt. He's mean as an alley cat, and trust me they're mean. But nobody can touch Corinne on the meter. I only feel comfortable saying this because Corinne told it to me in person. She said it drives her nuts when somebody says she is "pleasant" or "nice," it's insulting. She wears it like a badge of honor and I'll be bringing it up for as long as she is around. In her favor, Corinne plays the game hard, she knows how important alliances are, and if she forms a good one she could be around for a while. Question: Is Corinne more or less hot now that you know she'd burn your house down if she got mad at you? Corinne, I hope you're laughing. You know I'm joking. If not, I sure hope you don't know where I live. One of my favorite moments is the "termite love scene" between Kenny and Michelle. Makes me laugh and smile every time I see it. They were both so earnest and Michelle so cute when she ate the termite. I was hoping something might develop there… …but instead, Michelle disappeared. Not sure what happened to Michelle's attitude. I had her picked as a favorite in my preshow picks. Yes. A favorite. Something happened and her zeal disappeared. A major disappointment. I'm sure it was tough for her as well. Episode 1 is over. Kota dominating. Fang in trouble. Episode 2 The mismatched tribes continue to haunt Fang. I kept reminding them, "Quit complaining. You did it to yourselves." I like being a pain in the ass. Sometimes, like today as I write this blog, that's just the kind of mood I'm in. The real truth is I would probably make equally foolish decisions if I had to step up and actually play the game. Instead I get paid to comment without ever having to put my money where my mouth is. Yes, I'm aware. At the first tribal council, G.C. reluctantly accepted the leadership position. The question is how long will he last and how effective will he be? I would have never chosen him as my leader. This is the guy that raced ahead to get immunity for himself. It is a sign. Fang is in major trouble at this point. They're all afraid to do anything and coming from a place of fear is never a good idea. Over at Kota, Ace is cracking me up. I love him! Doing yoga in his orange shorts with the accent and never ever breaking character. Major kudos. Sugar cries a lot. Just warning you. But I think you're going to like her. Maybe even root for her. Marcus is getting a lot of love from everybody. They love his leadership, they love that he's a doctor, and they love how calm he is. He drove us nuts as producers because he was telling everybody to act rationally! What?! What are you doing? Quit ruining Survivor, dude. Marcus is waaaay too good for this game. He could easily win. When we were out on location it seemed that every girl wanted him, even half of our production crew. That's just annoying. Dan's visit to Exile Island tells you everything you need to know about Dan. He's lovable and extremely well-intentioned but he overthinks everything. He's Hamlet. Trust me when I tell you, finding the idol is not that difficult, as you'll see in upcoming episodes. He just plain overthought it. Too bad, the idol is a powerful weapon. I love that his tribe thinks that because he is overdoing it with his admission that he doesn't have it, that he probably does have it! If they only knew the truth, they'd hope for him to be sent to Exile every single time. Another tribal council for Fang, and Gillian is gone. I have to say the truth about Gillian. And Gillian, if you're reading this, I say this with love. Gillian is a very nice person and she absolutely means well. She was so excited to be on the show, she had applied every season! She is originally from South Africa, and when she found out we were going back to her homeland, she was thrilled. I actually liked Gillian quite a bit during casting. But once the show started, Gillian...you became a little annoying. You simply talked too much without saying anything substantive. You were a cheerleader, and let's face it, cheerleaders are…well, annoying. We hated to see you go, but if you hadn't been voted out, we may have removed you ourselves. Gillian, you're smiling, right? It's a blog. I'm just having fun. If you're not smiling and you're mad, please don't tell Corinne where I live. Episode 2 done. Fang down 2 members. Kota still going strong. Next week on…Survivor: Fang needs a win. Sugar needs a Kleenex. Okay, that's it for this week. More next week. Reporting for Dalton Ross and Entertainment Weekly, I'm JPiddy.

I think Epi 2 is the one we saw last night. They made it a two-hour premiere to ruin Gray's Anatomy's premier.

Did you get the episode name from tvguide? Ginger usually does try to get the official name when she starts a spoiler thread for an ep but if it isn't available yet, I usually go and change the thread title when we get the name. So.. hard to say if tv guide has that name for what Probst would call episode three. He probably did some blogging early on before they changed the season premiere date and included two episodes.

I got the Episode 2 title from another website. I tried CBS and I tried TV Guide, and neither of them had a title for next week's show. So, for now, I went with the one that was listed on the other website. I also called it Episode 2 as I was waiting to see how the other sites were going to handle it, and they all seem to be calling the first show (2 hours long) Episode 1 and the October 2nd show Episode 2 and the October 9th show Episode 3. I had seen another name (something to do about Christmas) and verified that it was scheduled for October 9th, so the only name I had left to use was this one about post op. Anyway, if you see something different ... fix it. If I see something different, I'll report it. All the info and pictures above are from next week, the October 2nd episode, regardless of what episode # they call it or what name they give it. Hope that clears it up.............Ginger

Sea - Why don't we just call this thread - 10/2 Ep. - with the post op title........... That might eliminate confusion. Just checked out CBS.com and they talk of the premiere as Episode 1 and 2. All the pics and info above matches with the Oct. 2nd show. I'll try in the future to title them by date and name, regardless of what Episode # the other spoiler websites are using...............thanks, Ginger

Thx so much Ginger!!! the reason I even asked is cuz I started a show thread for the next ep in the gen disc area and used this Ep #/title then when I saw JP's blog I thought it might be wrong. I couldnt see anything that related to the title in the eps we just watched though so figure it is for ep 2 (counting the 2 hr show as ep 1 ) eta..just read your 2nd post and thanks for the info....I agree that having the show air date in the title would be great. heck, you could just name them, the next ep and I would be thrilled! I appreciate all your hard work!

Yeah airdate is good. Too bad they had to make it so confusing. But this title IS the same as my Time Warner DVR schedule has for Thursday.

those circle things on that girl's suit are in really bad spots. so I am thinking the misdirection means a Kota win for IC?

I'm trying to figure out what the clues mean about three-time losing tribe. Last week, they lost twice and sent two people home at the Fang Tribe. I can't think of any other loss that can be referenced, unless the clue is referencing the RC in this episode. I thought Fang had a really good shot at winning the RC because of the clues showing Crystal pulling Paloma off the pole...but maybe not. If Fang loses the RC, then you know they have got to be due a win for the IC...at least you would think so. I'll check around for spoilers...........

Aha.......found this over at Survivor Fever: 3 female sit-outs for Kota (Jacque, Kelly, Corinne)
Fang wins the RC (Blankets, Hammock, etc. etc.) and exiles Sugar. Ginger: So now I really don't know what they mean by a tree-time loser.

Alaginger, maybe it's because they lost that very first challenge at the beginning for the extra food,then the 2 immunities, but I'm just guess here.
