Ahhhh ... here it is. The CBS Misdirection clues for Episode 6:
********************************
"IN A HIGH STAKES CHALLENGE, BOTH TRIBES BATTLE FOR THE CHANCE TO WIN IMMUNITY AND A COVETED REWARD THAT PROMISES TO IMPROVE NOT ONLY THEIR MORALE BUT THEIR ENTIRE TRIBE'S STRATEGY, ON "SURVIVOR: HEROES VS. VILLAINS," ON A SPECIAL NIGHT, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24"

"Banana Etiquette" - "When the castaways discover that two people will be sent packing in a rare double elimination, everyone scrambles to save their own skin, and one castaway surprises everyone and risks it all at Tribal Council, on SURVIVOR: HEROES VS. VILLAINS, airing on a special night, Wednesday, March 24 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network"

After reading the misdirection, I went looking around the other boards for speculation of what it all means. This is what I've come up with.

SU, the spoiler who did the spoiling list, says there is only one challenge in this episode. Based on a comparison of different types of double boots in the past, it is speculated that:

The challenge winner tribe will get the reward which is a chance to play for individual immunity, plus get to watch the other tribe at TC while eating in front of them.

Supposedly the reason Tyson is listed first in the spoiling list is that the winning tribe (who has one member with individual immunity) go to TC first, make their boot, then move over to the jury bench to watch the losing tribe do their boot while eating in front of them, and getting to listen to their strategies.

Thanks ginger, for all your spoiling and hard work. You are appreciated :-)

The above makes me wonder if it's Colby that wins the individual immunity. and that is why they send home james. Hmmmmmmm, can't wait to see this episode!!

I would love it if that were the case, and that Colby won II, but the way it is being speculated, only the winning tribe gets to compete for one person winning II. That is supposedly the Villains. Plus, the spoilers have all said that when James goes home he is not taken out by Medical, but by sympathy votes at TC by his tribe.

I think Colby is saved because James is having problems, and then Colby makes the merge because the Heroes start winning challenges. We shall see.

VO: Survivor's on a special night: Wednesday.

Probst: "Go!"

5


VO: No matter what happens in this challenge, both the Heroes and Villains will go to Tribal Council.

Probst: "Both tribes are voting somebody out."
Jerri: "Wow."

8
Note: Individual Immunity for one person on the winning tribe. (Unless we get evidence of something different later in the week.)

Now, the scrambling begins.


Rupert: "Who do we keep? James, who is fighting to stay in the game, or Colby, who is ready to walk out?"

T.V. Guide had a blurb in their article that the Heroes had James do a contest at camp to show that he was fit enough to compete at the challenge. The pic of him and J.T. running on the beach is probably from that.

Tyson: "I feel a little uneasy."

Coach: "I'm caught in the crossfire."

13
Rob: "If you don't have that idol, you need to go get it."

14
Russell: "I don't have it."

Bringing this close-up shot of the IN over from Survivor Phoenix.

1

Is it one necklace, very full......or two? If it's two, does that mean each tribe will get a chance to have one person with immunity?

The previews only tell us that it's a double elimination this week, and we know from the spoilers it is Tyson and James. We also know that the Villains win the right to sit at TC and watch the Heroes and eat in front of them. What just do not know if one or both tribes have a player who is immune, and who the player(s) is/are.

SHOW IS WEDNESDAY NIGHT THIS WEEK!

Because the show is Wednesday night, the SOTS (State of the Spoiling) is already up over at Survivor Blows done this week by Tribephyl. Summary is the same ... nothing really new.

One Tribal Challenge: Villains Win
Followed by Challenge for IN (possibly one for each tribe). Tribephyl speculates that Rob will win for the Villaina, and either Candice or J.T. will win for the Heroes (leaning towards Candice).

Villains: russell 2 votes (plays idol), Parvati 3 votes (plays idol Russell gave her), Tyson 4 votes is booted.

Heroes: James is booted

Zippidy doo daaaaaaaah... zippidy day...

Isn't it odd that if both teams play for immunity that the Heroes don't vote off Colby (if he doesn't win immunity) since it was such a big issue the last episode for them to keep their numbers by keeping James?

How did I miss Russell finding a second idol - the one he plays and the one he gives Parvati?

Monitors: Please fix my boo boo.

In my last post I said that Russell plays an idol. He doesn't play one ... he gives his idol to Parvati and she plays it.

Sorry about that! Thanks TNT and Panda for catching it.

Lexie: In regards to your question about James.

In all the other sites with current and past spoiling for this show, they say that James goes home from a sympathy vote from his tribe. That makes it sound to me like he is suffering, or things are not good with his knee.

But, if you look above at the pics, you see the one where James is running on the beach. Take into account this blurb from this week's T.V. Guide .......

"The Heroes alliance believes they may have made an error in judgment, so they hold an "unofficial challenge" in which James is forced to prove whether he can run."

and take into account that Rupert says:

"Rupert: "Who do we keep? James, who is fighting to stay in the game, or Colby, who is ready to walk out?"

It really sounds like they make their decision based on thinking they were wrong in getting rid of the strongest player Tom over James last week, and try to make up for it by keeping Colby this week.

Maybe it's a combination of both. Reading Jeff's Blog you can surely see that he thinks they make a huge mistake last week.

Aha - Here's that T.V. Guide article in its entirety.
********************************
With the Villains dominating the game, the nice guys could finish last on SURVIVOR's thrilling all-star season
by Danny Spiegel
TV Guide

When we last saw Survivor's anything-but-conquering Heroes tribe, they were at tribal council once again ready to vote out one of their own. Having lost six of the last eight challenges to the conniving but skilled Villains team, it seemed obvious they needed to stay strong and say goodbye to James, who had recently injured his leg. Host Jeff Probst even told them that "my niece could beat James in a race right now." Instead, Tom Westman, 45, the former firefighter and winner of the show's 2005 Palau edition, fell victim to the cliquey alliance of Amanda, J.T., Rupert and their immobile pal.
It was another less-than-heroic moment for the predestinated good guys of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, the veteran reality series' 20th season. Only five episodes in, integrity, teamwork and big-picture thinking are in short supply for this crumbling tribe.
"Voting off Tom before James proves that being a hero does not always include being intelligent," says the always candid Probst. "That is one of the dumbest moves of the season. I was kind of baffled that James could manage to stay in the game." Not baffled was Tom, who offers a sound, if flawed, theory for his dismissal. "Some of the people on that Heroes tribe have relationships on the Villains tribe," he explains, "so they need to get themselves together to the merge, and they're gonna have two or three to add when they get to the other side, or so they believe."

But when the show returns for a special Wednesday episode on March 24, the Heroes alliance believes they may have made an error in judgment, so they hold an unofficial "challenge," in which James is forced to prove whether he can run. "We tried to get my niece, but she's in sixth grade, and we couldn't get her away," Probst says wryly. "She would have beat him, though."
Unfortunately, even if James could fly past Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt, it still wouldn't help his team's profound ineptitude with puzzles. "I think [the Villains] have got one strong leader, and he's very good at puzzles," Tom says of "Boston Rob" Mariano, "and I really feel that at this point [the Heroes are] getting beat by one person." Russell Hantz, the notorious saboteur from last Fall's Samoa season, would no doubt disagree. "The Rob-Russell rivalry was inevitable," Probst says. "You have two really strong players [and] if those guys continue to slug it out, one of 'em's gonna go home. They're not both gonna make it."
Randy Bailey, the only Villain whose torch has been extinguished so far, points out that Russell making it past even one tribal council is thanks in part to his fellow evildoers not having seen his season before filming Heroes vs. Villains. "If we were able to watch him pouring water out of the canteens and throwing people's clothes in the fire," Randy says, "he would've been [voted out] instead of me. That's not a game that too many people respect."
Respect may be in short supply, anyway, by the time this season's final tribal council comes around. "There's a lot of people sitting on the jury who truly believe they were somehow "screwed" and should have been sitting there [as a finalist]," Probst says. "And I think that's the big challenge for the jury this year: Being a seasoned player, can you be [part of] the first jury to remove personal ego and actually vote for the player who played the best game? Last year it was extremely frustrating for a lot of people that Natalie won and not Russell."
Probst includes himself in that category, so maybe it's a telling clue when he sums up this season by saying, "My opinion is whoever makes it deep into this game and ultimately wins will have a strong case to say they may in fact be the best player to have ever played Survivor."

I just watched Tribal Council again. The strategy is at an all-time high. The comments are some of the funniest yet and momentum... turns.
