Well, Taj knows the HII is at the tree mail site, so how much searching could she have to do to find it? The guy just lifted up a sort of "skirt" thing on the back of the pole, and there it was.

I feel sure with that last clue that Taj got (which she didn't share with Sierra) that she finds her hidden II at the Jalapao Camp. And, it's probably what makes her feel safe enough to be so cocky.

During TAR there was promo! JT seemed to be the one who's gonna look for a lost tooth. Sierra was seen sitting on a spinning spool, must have something to do with all that Tug-a-war-like caps. Ginger, I still think just because they didn't show us, it didn't mean Taj did not share the last clue w/Sierra. I think Sierra knows a little more now, so Brendan has to include her. Maybe that's my wishful thinking. But Brendan is so careful. He won't have shared any good info. Taj definitely knows where the hii is on her camp. Hopefully she will use it wisely!

I wonder if Taj has fallen into the "trash talking - jaw jacking" type of interaction that goes on between sports teams as a matter of course? That is what she has been around of a number of years, so she may not realize that it isn't a good stratagy in the "real world!" I hope she gets a clue in time to save herself - cheering for the home town gal here!

Sorry but I don't know if I can watch this week with someone losing a tooth. That's one of my paranoias--tripping and losing a tooth or some other neurotic way it might happen--so that might be too traumatic to me! LOL.

I hear you Tish! I did that about 30 yrs ago. Sandal caught on the sidewalk and I can still hear the ring of my front tooth when I fell face forward. Root canal & cap reqd. Just had to replace the cap last year when I could least afford it. Your "paranoias" are well founded. WRT, someone having to be "evacuated from the game due to medical conditions" I wonder (after all the hoopla potentially coming about the lost tooth) if there could be some connection? No Dentist to perform, no toothbrushing/flossing/listerine. Abscesses probably flourish quickly, especially if it breaks off at the root.

Tish....if you do have a problem, just turn your head during the water IC.....that's where the tooth incident happens. Transcript: Jeff Probst: Go! Announcer: It's a Survivor that will leave you spinning.
Brendan in the background, Joe in front running with rope tied around them
Sierra in the background spinning
Erinn spinning
The rope around a spool
Debbie spinning Since the IC appears to be a water challenge where J.T. loses a tooth, it is speculated that this rope/spinning stuff is related to the tug-of-war in the other pictures and is the RC. Not sure how the spinning part and the tug-of-war part fit together.

Since this 2nd challenge is in the water, it is completely different than the tug-of-war and spinning challenge. The water challenge appears to be the IC (at this point). Transcript: Announcer: This Survivor will keep you spinning with the roughest, toughest challenges yet. Jeff Probst: A point was scored while losing a tooth.
Sydney appears to have hurt her wrist.
Wow --- look at that Sierra tackle
And he's down!!! (but he made the point?)
Speculated to where J.T. loses a tooth

Jeff Probst's Real-Life Survivor Skills Help Woman Sun., Mar. 8, 2009 10:34 PM PDT by Kristin Dos Santos
Looks like Jeff Probst has learned a thing or two about survival during his nine years snuffing out tiki torches. At tonight's Academy of Magical Arts Awards ceremony in Hollywood (hosted by Neil Patrick Harris), we witnessed the Survivor host catching a camerawoman who suddenly suffered a seizure as he answered questions for her media outlet. "She fell into my arms, basically," Jeff told us exclusively right after the incident. "She had a seizure and she didn't know it. When she came back to she said, ‘I'm fine,' and she had no idea. Then she had another one." When the woman suffered her second seizure, Jeff jumped into action again, catching her, holding her and lowering her to the ground. A few minutes later, she regained consciousness and tried to get up, but Jeff held her head steady and explained that she needed to stay put until the ambulance arrived. He remained with her until medical personnel arrived at the scene. So what does Jeff have to say about this gallant display? "I think anybody would react to that," he told us tonight. "That's just another person in trouble. Anybody would do that. It's amazing how quickly you can get into trouble." As for the current season of Survivor (Tocantins), Jeff promises more twists and turns coming our way. "There's a record number of blindsides this year, which is always fun. There's more tribal councils where people don't know they're going home and get zapped than we ever had before." He also is excited about the final outcome."[We have] a really good finish, one of the best winners we've had in a really long time." Ginger: Wouldn't it be something if Sierra walked away with the whole thing? But then, if they don't count the votes until the live show, how would he know? - LOL

I always have the feeling that, when Jeff says it's a "good finish", one of the best winners?, he would be talking about a deserving "guy". BTW, this is not American Idol. All the PTB/need-to know has known about the winners since the last TC. They need that information to fool us, drag us around the rabbit hole through out the season.

Hahahahaha, that is one of my worst fears also, Tishala, although Bigdog and I tend to joke about it. We always talk about falling down and breaking out our front teeth. I hope all that lightning striking stuff is just superstition.

Oh geez! Been there, done that on the front tooth thing. Bike accident aged 10. Neighbor lady thought I got hit by a car as I was such a mess. It finally abscessed when I was 15 and the infection ate away at the bone in my upper jaw on the left side. I had emergency surgery. Wished the anesthesia would have worked. Now I have a titanium rod up into my upper jaw and a very nice crown which I couldn't get until I was 18. I'm always scared to death that it will happen all over again.

Transcript: Announcer: Thursday... Jeff Probst: Go! Announcer: It's a Survivor that will leave you spinning. First, these two women think they control the game. I didn't bring these pics cause I think they are too misleading. They show Taj and Sierra at Exile, and it looks like previous episode pics to me. Then it slides into Taj and Sydney at camp, but then right back into Taj and Sierra at Exile ... again what I think are previous caps. Taj <in confessional>: I just love it when a perfect plan comes together. Sierra: *laughs* Announcer: But could the joke be on them? Joe: Moves like that out here will get you voted off. Announcer: Plus, will one castaway's secret life hurt him?
Spencer <in confessional>: They are maybe inclined to get rid of somebody like me I'm assuming this is where Spencer reveals that he is gay? Announcer: And don't miss the roughest, toughest challenges yet. Jeff Probst: A point was scored while losing a tooth. ***************************** Here's more pics of the RC. Lots and lots and lots of spinning pics. Wonder where the tug-of-war segment fits in here, if at all.
Jalapao - Taj spinning
Taj very dizzy
Jalapao - Sydney spinning
Jalapao - Spencer spinning
Timbira Tyson spinning
Sierra very dizzy
Jeff enjoying the heck out of this spinning Pics from the IC
A very unhappy Joe and J.T.
And a very unhappy Spencer

Have I missed something? What is the deal with getting rid of Joe? He seems like a pretty decent performer in the challenges -

Don't forget that this is all just speculation. Nothing has been spoiled to be absolute. The way I understand it is that Jeff mentioned quite awhile back in one of his Blogs that certain people were very memorable characters in this season. Names missing from his list were Carolina, Candace, Jerry.......and they went first. Joe and Sydney were also missing from the list, but Sandy was a memorable character, and she just got booted. So, it's kinda like some of the speculators are expecting Joe and Sydney to go pretty soon since they didn't make Jeff's list of memorable characters. The SOTS writer says that it appears to be between Joe and Sydney and Spencer since Taj and Stephen have an alliance and Stephen is thick with J.T. It could be any of those three but the writer of the SOTS is leaning towards Joe because 1) Taj wrote his name down last week, and 2) Taj is seen in a picture this week having girl bonding time at camp with Sydney and 3) Spencer is considered to be misdirection .... plus TDT is leaning towards Joe. Of course, last week a huge percentage of the speculators thought Sydney was going, and we watched Sandy leave.......so you never know.

I have to laugh, finally figured this out: Alaginger Post~ Monday, March 09, 2009 - 9:09 am 2nd picture "Sierra in the background spinning " Everytime I look at that pic, it appears like Sierra's Bare Buns are swirling & blurred. Tonight, I finally realized that's some guy's flesh colored hand & wrist in front of her. Opps!

Don't you think that Jaj did not tell Sierra about where to find the idol because she wanted to make sure it was Brendon who got it. Her first loyalty would be to him, not Sierra. If she told Sierra, where to find it, it would be Sierra who controls it not Brendon.

Picked this article heading up from Survivor Fever this morning: *******************************
"Survivor: China" Winner Todd Herzog Dating Survivor: Tocantin's Spencer Duhm (AfterElton.com 3.9.09) Survivor: China winner Todd Herzog has recently gone public with the fact that he's dating Spencer Duhm, a contestant on Survivor: Tocantins, which is currently airing. Ginger: I guess Todd did the interview since it looks like Spencer might bring the subject up in this week's episode.

Jeff's Preview of tonight's show: ******************* Transcript: Jeff Probst: Well it's episode 5 of Survivor: Tocantins. Sandy, she lasted a lot longer than I ever thought she would. Love you Sandy but you're nuts. In this episode Brendan and Coach are gonna really start to get into it. There is clearly a power struggle. Brendan's probably the best leader but Coach can't get of his own way to see it because Coach believes he is the smarter player in the game. Coach: Brendan right now, the way he's going to Exile and the people that he's choosing for Exile, is making strong allies there. If we merge he has control of the game and I'm a bystander and I certainly don't want that to happen. Jeff: There's also one of the biggest storms we've ever had. And finally, if that wasn't enough, somebody loses a tooth.
