I'm going to start this thread out with the spoiler info that is out there.....be it right, or be it wrong. We can sort it out later if other info shows up, but this is what we have so far:
*****************************

Ep12 (Double Boot Episode)
Ginger Note: That probably means 2 different time frames, two different IC's, and two different TC's, and two different boots. It does not appear to be one TC with a double boot.

IC1: - Parv wins "holding arm up" endurance challenge (the one Shii Ann won on a previous season)
Boot: Candice

IC2: - Parv wins obstacle course (key digging, etc.)
Boot: Danielle

Ginger Note: I read somewhere, but right now I'm not sure where, that Parv is instrumental in the Candice boot, which ticks Russell off, so he retaliates with instigating the Danielle boot. This may be an action that comes back to bite Russell in the bootee at the end of the game.

Thanks to Survivor Fever - Pics and transcript for the next episode:
**********************88

Transcript:

Jeff Probst: Next time on Survivor...

1
Parvati [talking to Russell and Danielle]: It's worked out pretty good, 5 Villains, we need to be strong.

Jeff Probst: ...the powerful Villains alliance...

2
Russell [talking to Parvati]: You do that, you're out of this game.

Jeff Probst: ...comes apart at the seams.

3
Parvati: Don't yell at me, Russell.

Russell: I can't believe you.

Russell [talking to Danielle]: If she tries to get rid of either of us we can easily blindside her.

Parvati [talking to Jerri]: Do not change your vote today no matter what he says.

Russell: Bad move, you're gonna be next.
Ginger Note: The pics ran out with the ones of Russell talking with Parvati, but I do believe I remember seeing on this last statement from Russell that he was talking to Jerri.

TC voting confessionals as Amanda gets the boot. Cut and pasted from SurvivorSucks.com:
************************************

Russell (votes Amanda): I don’t have anything against you. You’re a very strategic player. But I believe I know whats going on tonight, so I’ll be using the idol to get rid of you. And I found it, not Danielle.

Rupert (votes Parvati): rolls his eyes and sighs I hope you’re the one who goes home tonight.

Sandra (votes Amanda): Amanda, I wish you weren’t going home today. It was supposed to be Russell but you can thank Candice for screwing this all up for us. Adios.

Amanda (votes Parvati): I'm voting for you because you’re just really strategic and I have to play my game and you have to play yours.
Colby (votes Parvati): Says nothing.

Danielle (votes Amanda): Amanda you’re a great player and I cannot wait to watch our reward. Im so excited about it.

Jerri (votes Amanda): I have absolutely no idea whats going to happen tonight but I hope that this works.

Parvati (votes Amanda): Girl, you’re just too good. I'm sorry, I just couldn’t trust you this time, it’s the opposite team thing. But, you did great. Proud of ya.

Candice (votes Amanda): Amanda, this is the worst vote, by far, I’ve had to make. Um, I didn’t want it to come down to this but you were the one I was supposed to be able to trust the most in this game and I’ve caught you in so many lies in the past few days and I was going to stick my neck out on the line for you and it looked like you weren’t going to do the same for me. Um, Sandra said that she wasn’t sure which way she was going to go and, um, just based on the fact that you lied to me made me afraid to stick my neck out this time. Im sorry. I think you’re a great girl and, um, I hope we can be friends. Good luck.

SquidProQuo, over at Survivor Blows, has done an excellent job of summarizing all the Insider secret scenes from the past episode. Here are the ones from the Heroes Tribe that I think might have spoiler value.
*****************************

1. "RE: Ep. 11 Insider Clips"
Highlights from the Heroes:

- Amanda walks us through her version of the catfight and says that giving the HII clue back to Danielle was her biggest mistake in the game. She says she was on the lookout for the HII clue during the entire reward, including the dinner, and she still can't believe she handed the bowl of popcorn to Danielle, because it was the obvious place to put the clue and she should have realized that. She says she beats herself up over it. (And this was before she was voted out.)
Ginger Note: I wonder if Amanda would have been allowed to keep it. Isn't there a rule that the finder can use it or give it to somebody, but they can't have it taken from them? The video person caught it on tape that Danielle found the clue.

- Colby's version of the catfight ... He said he had to take on the role of the school teacher and he can't believe that Amanda would try such a desperate, ugly move.

- Excellent secret scene clip of Amanda trying to stir up trouble between Russell and Parv. This is a highly edited, multi-scene clip that must have been one of the final clips to get cut from the show. It starts out with Russell wooing Amanda and talking about how he knows he can't beat Parv, so he'd love to work with her. And he brags how Jeff said he made the biggest move in the game in the last 10 years when he gave the HII to Parv to save her. Amanda sucks up to Russell by telling him how he's in complete control of the game, which of course he loves to hear. Meanwhile, Candice watches Russell/Amanda talking and is obviously jealous. Cut to Candice saying to Amanda that they need to compare notes on what Russell is telling both of them...and they realize that they've both been promised F3 by Russell. Amanda then tries to work on Parv, saying are you sure you trust Russell and letting her know how Russell tried to woo her. Parv tells Amanda flat-out that she's sticking with Russell because he had her back from the very beginning and they're tight. (In a confessional, she says that Amanda can't suddenly play the friend card -- it won't work.) Amanda realizes she can't break in with Parv and she might have screwed herself over once Russell and Parv compare notes.

- Candice says that she and Sandra are from the same town in North Carolina, but they haven't told anyone that.

And this is SquidProQuo's take on the secret scenes for the Villains tribe players:
*******************************

2. "RE: Ep. 11 Insider Clips"
Highlights from the Villains:

- Jerri's ready for it to be an all-Villains game to spice things up.

- Very interesting clip with Sandra talking about how she's at the bottom/#5 of the Villains alliance and Jerri is #4 and how they don't tell her anything until a few minutes before TC since they don't trust her. She said that when Courtney went home, they said to her, "Do what we say, and we'll promise you F5." But lately, Danielle has talked to her about Danielle/Parv/Sandra being the F3. And Russell has told her that he wants Russell/Jerri/Sandra as F3. (No mention of Parv.)

- Another good clip with Sandra after the JT boot that explains a lot of things. She basically admits she had no clue until after the fact that JT gave Russell an HII. She also didn't know that Parv had one of her own. She says she told Parv she appreciates that she shared the HII, but she wishes Parv hadn't wasted one on her, because she knew she wasn't in danger. She says that Jerri "owes" Parv because she saved her. She talks about how Russell is mad at Parv because she kept her HII a secret.

- Russell says that now he doesn't trust Parv and he's going to get rid of her because she took his idol and lied to him. He says that even though she did the right thing and ended up using the 2 HIIs to save their tribe, he knows that her real plan was to save one for herself.

- Very interesting clip of Parv before TC: She says that Sandra is too smart to flip, because she's won this game before and knows that she can't win if she's up against 2 other Heroes. She says she's going to talk to Sandra 1 more time before TC, just to make sure. She says that Russell is suspicious because he saw Candice and Sandra going to the well together, and Sandra never goes to the well. It's clear that Parv doesn't realize that Russell has the HII, because she talks about how Danielle's been digging and can't find it and how there's an outside chance that Amanda might have it. Parv talks about how she always tries to act "cool as a cucumber" on the outside, but she's really nervous on the inside for TC tonight...but she's not going to run after Candice/Sandra like Russell did.

Might as well bring you over QuidProQuo's summary of Ponderosa after Amanda arrives.
********************************

"Amanda at Ponderosa"

Amanda says she made too many mistakes and it's her own fault she's out of the game. But then she goes on to say that she "had no one to play with" because Rupert and Colby can't strategize to save their life, and Candice was constantly flipping.
Lots of Russell hate! Wish they had shown more of this but they cut it off. Courtney does a funny imitation of him. From what they've shown us, there's no way any of these 4 (JT, Coach, Courtney and Russell) are voting for Russell (if he should make the Finals).

Coach loves hearing about the catfight, of course. And Amanda and Courtney tease Coach about his romance with Jerri ("the Dragon Slayer and the Black Widow") and he blushes. I must say, Coach is much nicer/more human outside the game.

It appears that the next TC is the next day (after Amanda arrives) -- definitely not a full cycle -- so looks like the next episode will be a double boot. Oh, and they all decide to wear black shirts and sunglasses to show their solidarity on the jury and psyche out the remaining players. Definitely still a fun vibe at Ponderosa.

JT says they'll give Russell the silent treatment if he's next, but he has a feeling it'll be a Hero.

Aha ... an answer to my query: Remember up above when I said:
Ginger Note: I wonder if Amanda would have been allowed to keep it. Isn't there a rule that the finder can use it or give it to somebody, but they can't have it taken from them? The video person caught it on tape that Danielle found the clue.

Well, in reading the Dalton Ross write-up at EW.com about last night's show, he says that the rule I was referring to, referred to a "hidden immunity idol", not a clue. He says that Colby was wrong in telling Amanda to give it back, that it was Danielle's because she found it.

Actually, Dalton goes a step further and says that it was a dumber move than JT giving the Heroe's idol to Russell cause here was a chance for a come-back and Colby is wrong, and then Amanda goes along with it.

I don't think Dalton has too much respect for the Heroe's Tribe right now (LOL).

Here is Jeff's Blog --- and he does confirm that next week is 2 Ic's, 2 TC's and 2 boots.
**************************************

THE FALLOUT FROM LAST WEEK

Last week, Parvati played not one but two idols. Russell had no idea she had the second idol or he never would have given her his idol in the first place! You knew the fallout was going to come and the anticipation of it reminded me of my youth, growing up in the wheat fields of Kansas.

In Kansas, tornadoes are common and they often cause major damage. But just before the tornado strikes, there is an eerie calm. The wind doesn’t rustle, the rain doesn’t fall. It’s just calm. You see neighbors rounding up the bicycles or putting away the lawn mower, cause they know the storm is a comin’ and it’s gonna be bad.

Russell is like a tornado. A tornado that is lingering just outside of town, slowly swirling, building momentum and gearing up to do some major damage. You could feel his anger growing, you could feel the emotions beginning to gather steam as they worked their way through his body.

Swirling. Faster and faster…

If Russell is a tornado, Parvati is the tornado chaser. She loves being in the eye of the storm because she doesn’t fear a tornado but is in fact is drawn to its ferocity.

It’s a bit like a Spielberg movie, right? The world’s greatest and sexiest tornado chaser taking on the world’s biggest and most destructive tornado… in 3D!

Although Russell’s tornado turned out to be a false warning, it doesn’t mean it has gone away. The anger inside him is still swirling. He is still lurking just outside of town and Parvati knows it. Russell will not soon forget, check that, Russell will never forget that Parvati betrayed him and since Danielle was a part of that betrayal she better put her bicycle away too, cause this is only the first act and Spielberg always finishes with a bang.

THE REWARD A.K.A. – THE THREESOME

Warning: For those of you who find my “adult themed” comments offensive, please skip down to the section titled “BACK TO PG.” Otherwise, read on at your own risk.

Colby, Danielle, Amanda. Could you have put together a more perfect group to sleep together on one bed? Colby -The rugged heroic cowboy. Amanda, the pretty and often shy cheerleader. Danielle, the sexy tomboy who despises cheerleaders. All together in one room with one bed for one night. Toss in a bowl of popcorn, a movie and a clue to the hidden idol and you have yourself the makings of a very interesting night. It feels, looks and sounds like Showtime, but it’s just another great moment in a season of great moments on Survivor.

THE CAT FIGHT

Wow. Wouldn’t you like to see the left over footage from that scene? Let’s set the stage. Amanda dressed in bikini bottoms with a hoodie on top is surveying the room, looking for the clue. Danielle, dressed much the same way, is on the bed eating popcorn and also wondering where the clue might be. Colby is the only one actually watching the damn movie and he downs a handful of popcorn.

Danielle finds the clue in the bowl of popcorn. She carefully removes it and then tries to hide it from the others by dropping it on the floor next to her. As Amanda continues her hunt for the clue she spots it on the floor.

Amanda grabs it. Danielle tries to grab it back. The cat fight is on.

Two women, dressed only in bikini’s who haven’t showered in weeks fighting over a small piece of parchment in a hotel room while the seemingly oblivious cowboy from Texas continues to watch a movie on the television. (Take a moment, and let that sink in. Go ahead and read it again if you want, because that is exactly what happened.)

Amanda has it. Danielle wants it back. So now we have an interesting situation. Who does the note belong to? I am not there to referee or make a decision so this is left to them to figure out. Does it belong to Danielle because she found it? Does it belong to Amanda because she found it after Danielle dropped it on the floor? Should they have to share it? Or does it go to the winner of The cat fight? Of course I would opt for the last scenario – let them fight it out and the winner gets it, cause let’s be honest, that would be fun to watch.

INSIGHT: From a rules point of view, there is no rule that covers something this unique. Neither Danielle nor Amanda had a clear-cut case of possession, so it was up in the air.

My call would have been to have them “work it out” which probably would have resulted in all three of them sharing it together. That’s definitely what I would have said if I had been Amanda or Colby, “Let’s work it out together.” I would never have let Danielle walk away with it by herself. Never.

But then the most amazing thing happened. The seemingly oblivious cowboy from Texas suddenly wakes up and turns into a pretty decent game show host and without asking permission declares himself the arbiter of the dispute. Colby then states with an amazing sense of authority that the clue belongs to… Danielle. Well executed. Nicely done, dude. You should host your own show. Bravo.

And then… even more jaw dropping… Amanda, acting like a 5 year old whose daddy just told her to give the toy back to her sister, hands over the clue to Danielle! She gave it to her! Are you kidding?

It was one of the most fascinating moments this season. Human dynamics at play in the oddest context imaginable.

Amanda gave the clue back because she wasn’t strong enough to stand up for herself. It continues to be Amanda’s Achilles heel in life. Standing up for her self. I know she is watching this at home and frustrated once again because she could easily still be in this game if she had only stood up for her self and said, “I’m not giving it back. I have it. I’m not letting go. You were foolish enough to set it aside and I grabbed it. Now back off before I do one of my favorite high schools cheers and toss you over my back and down the stairs.” But instead she was intimidated and obediently did as instructed by Colby.

That is what Survivor is all about. No rules. Work it out. The person who makes the most compelling argument often wins. In this case it was Colby, a guy who didn’t even have a stake in the issue.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM TO COLBY: You did a very nice job of handling the moment. You took charge and you were clear. You only made one mistake. When you fell into the host role, you forgot you were also one of the contestants as well. You should have made a decision that included you getting to see the clue. At the very least you should have let Amanda see it. She’s on your tribe!!! Giving it to Danielle was a mistake.

What do you guys think? What should have happened? What would you have done?

RUSSELL FINDS A THIRD IDOL

“I am the king of hidden immunity idols.” I’d have to agree. Over the last two seasons Russell has proven that he has an uncanny ability to find the idols. In fact, he’s so good at it that he’s forever changed how we will handle idols in future seasons.

INSIGHT: Next season it will take more than just looking under a rock to find a hidden idol. I won’t give away what we’re doing, but in planning our creative for next season we coined a phrase, “The Russell Factor” and it influenced how we will play the hidden idol next season.

SANDRA MAKING HER MOVE

She’s a slick one. She knows when to listen and when to talk. Sandra is smart. Who else could tell Russell to walk away and get away with it.

I also appreciate Sandra’s ability to know when to give up the fight and go with the flow.

This is why Sandra is so good… her last question to Candice: “Tell me who you want out, please.”

Sandra is smart enough to know when she is fighting an uphill battle. Asking that question was her way of giving in without giving up. She was offering her vote to the majority to ensure she stays in the game at least one more day. If you’re in the game you have a chance.

CANDICE

Candice is getting herself into a sticky situation. When you don’t pull the trigger, people start to doubt you. When they start to doubt you, they stop telling you things. When they stop telling you things, you’re in trouble. Candice needs to make a bold move and soon.

RUSSELL IS TALKING TOO MUCH

I think the wear and tear of Russell playing back to back seasons may be taking it’s toll. Far be it from me to criticize how he’s playing, but I think he’s talking too much.

RUPERT IS TOO FOCUSED ON RUSSELL

Again, I’m not playing so it’s easy to back seat drive but Rupert’s grudge with Russell seems personal. Let it go. Stay focused on staying in the game. Keep your eyes on the prize.

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
I love these types of challenges. Taking a basic idea like “House Of Cards” and turning it into a challenge is what our challenge department does best. It’s a great challenge because anybody can win and it’s also fun for kids watching the show because this is the kind of challenge you can easily replicate for a Survivor themed birthday party.

By the way – Congrats to Jerri for her first individual immunity challenge victory!

THE ONE THING I DIDNT NEED TO HEAR

Russell’s quote about Amanda is something I could have lived my entire life and been okay not hearing:

Russell: She’s kinda like Boston Rob in a girl’s body. It’s a quote I don’t need to hear, an image I don’t need in my mind. But it lingers. It’s like when you hear an annoying song by Air Supply as you’re just waking up and the song stays in your head all day. Now all I’m imagining is Amanda in a white tank-top with a Red Sox cap on—- … hang on a second. Maybe this isn’t such a bad image after all.

PLAYING CARDS IN THE SHELTER

I wish we had more moments like this because they remind me of the reality of what the Survivors lives are really like. They have hours upon hours of idle time where life is absolutely boring. The fire is stoked, the water is boiled, they’re taking a break from strategy and they’re just hanging out. This is why, when all is said and done, that so many former Survivors become friends. It’s a bonding experience that few of us in life will ever get the chance to experience. I miss these moments in the show. I wish we had more, but the show is about strategy these days and so that’s where most of the stories lead.

TRIBAL COUNCIL

I have to admit and I’m surprised to be saying this… but I found myself a little bummed that Amanda is gone. As frustrating as she can be at times, she’s a tremendous player. One of the best. She only lacks one thing from being an absolute dynamo and that’s the killer instinct. As stated earlier, it’s the confidence to stand up for her self and claim what is rightfully hers. Had she done that with Danielle in the hotel room she’d probably still be in this game.

PS. Sorry I forgot to remind you we were back to the PG rating.

Next week is a biggee. Two immunity challenges. Two tribal councils. Two people gone.

See ya then.

Okay ...... starting to find some of the meat that goes on the bone. Hope I get all of this right:
**************************

Per Blackwhale's spoiling - regarding the Candice boot:
At the top 8, with the Heroes down at a 5-3 deficit, the offer is made, as it has been in a few seasons, to either feast or compete for immunity. Candice, feeling assured by her deal with Russell, chooses to eat! The Villain girls, who are already suspicious of Russell's connection with Candice, become upset when Candice flagrantly sits out of the challenge. After Parvati wins immunity at the top 8, she again asserts her authority over Russell and has the girls' backing to eliminate Candice before Rupert. Though Candice may not have been able to defeat Parvati in the challenge, she still made a critical error in showing her hand and helping to get the wheels in the girls' heads spinning.

Ginger Note: I also read that Russell votes to oust Candice, but he does it begrudgingly.
***************************************
A new spoiler from Blackwhale:

blackwhale wrote:
--------------------------------------------------
"The person who actually gets the next idol is Sandra after Jeff Probst announces the clue at the water bucket challenge. I thought there may have been one other idol for Russell, but I was wrong. It is Sandra who hangs on to it until the final 6. Nobody knew she had it and was shocked when she pulled it out on day 36. They go on a mad dash when they get back to camp from the challenge, but when Rupert plays pretend with the rock, they all give up."

Ginger Note: Evidently all are looking around camp for the HII after all receiving the clue from Jeff. Rupert puts a rock in his pocket and pretends he has it. All, thinking Rupert has it, quit looking, and Sandra winds up with it. Too Funny!!! (Good for Rupert)
************************************
Per Blackwhale regarding Danielle's boot:

"Russell is concerned that Danielle has an alliance or side deal with the heroes. She doesn't, but he does. He feels he should be the only entitled to have a deal with the heroes.... he turned Colby and Rupert on her (even though she wasn't alligned with them). If you remember the pre-show videos, Danielle wanted to improve her social game and that was what she was trying to do, she wasn't making any alliances with the heroes. She was loyal all the way to Russell and Parvati and could have betrayed them, but didn't. Russell's betrayal of her is undeserved and very upsetting to her."
- Finally, in response to the following vote list from soph101 (Russell, Colby, Rupert, Jerri vote for Danielle; Sandra, Parvati, Danielle vote for Rupert), blackwhale says: "Parvati has concerns over his alliances with the heroes after she sees that vote go down."

Thanks, guys......appreciate the kudos. It's my pleasure.

I do have a problem next week. I'm leaving here on Thursday morning and will be back on Sunday afternoon. I'll check in to see what, if anything, has been done, and if nothing....I'll rack it up. If somebody else gets it started, I'll check it out and see what I can go add. I'm thinking about opening the thread on Wednesday night before I leave and, at least starting it with the available spoilers. I can start it with a big "WARNING" sign, and hopefully would not ruin anybody's enjoyment of the Thursday night show.

Thanks to TDT, we have the CBS misdirection release for the week:
**************************
CBS press release: "TWO IMMUNITY CHALLENGES SEND THE MERGED TRIBE TO BACK-TO-BACK TRIBAL COUNCILS AND, WITH ALLIANCES TEETERING ON SHAKY GROUND, EVERYONE IS SCRAMBLING FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE HIDDEN IMMUNITY IDOL

"A Sinking Ship" - Sensing that he is in danger, a hero makes a bold move to save himself by fooling the entire tribe. Meanwhile, a vicious power struggle emerges in one alliance and two of the strongest villains find themselves pitted against one another."

Well, Darn ... Lexie!!! You're right.
5/6 - They start with 8 --- 2 boots
5/13 - They start with 6 --- 1 boot
5/16 - They start with 5 - 2 hour show followed by Live Finale.

And, I will not be home between 5/13 and 5/16.

Thanks for helping me get my head on straight.

So, I'm already doing 5/6
I can do 5/13 because I don't leave til that day.
And before I leave, I can start up a thread for 5/16 with what spoilers are known, but I will not be here to bring over Jeff's Blog, TC voting, pictures, and CBS Misdirection Clues. I'll be back in time to watch the show that night, but not in time to do any good for this thread.

Just a pre-warning...We still have time. Maybe somebody can pitch-hit. I have to go ... It's my sister's "BIG" birthday and if I'm not there, she will be a basket case.

More information on Danielle's boot the 2nd half of Thursday's episode from spoiler Blackwhale:
***************************************

"Sandra definitely works to deepen the cracks in the villain's main alliance at Danielle's boot. As always, she looks for an opportunity to take down Russell, but Danielle declines. She gets the ball rolling in Russell's head that Danielle and Parvati are too powerful of a duo, and that Danielle was entertaining the idea of backstabing him. Russell also doesn't like that Danielle's fascination shifted from him to Colby. Though Jerri does it too, he's more posessive over Parvati and Danielle than he is over Jerri. Sandra also plays upon Russell's ego and fuels his fire that he has now been shown twice by Parvati that he is not in charge."

Also per Blackwhale:
"F8 immunity - chained arm to water bucket - comes down to Parvati and Rupert - Parvati wins"
"F7 immunity - multi stage obstacle course - comes down to Parvati, Rupert and Russell - Parvati wins"

Good morning, Starshine ...

The pictures above of Candice in the Immunity Challenge of the episode where Blackwhale said she chose to sit out the challenge and eat!

Doesn't look like she is sitting out, to me!

Wonder is maybe Blackwhale is way off this week?

Nevermind.......found this old spoiler of Blackwhale's and it explains the situation better:
***************************
I insinuated Candice sits out from the very beginning, and they were given the choice to either compete or eat a la Guatemala and a few other seasons. They all actually competed from the very beginning and Candice stepped down for peanut butter early on.

There were two immunity challenges. Maybe she sat out of one, and competed in the other one.

I'm just tickled about Sandra yanking Russell's control everything chain! LOL!

I had walked away and then came back to post and I missed your update Ginger. Good to know, Thanks!

Thanks Gemma..............

Just a reminder that........

Candice will not be around for that 2nd challenge, as she is the boot after the 1st challenge.
