This from the CBS site...

Here's what you can look forward to this Thursday at 8pm ET/PT

The Survivors are shocked by what they see when they get an object from "normal life."

One Survivor is spending a lot of time on his own, leaving another to muse that he must be worried about losing the next Immunity Challenge. Who is he?

The Reward Challenge promises the biggest reward yet, but with it comes the unexpected.

Who's going to win "Survivor"?

SPOILER ALERT AT BOTTOM SO DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILER NEWS>

April 20, 2001 | NEW YORK --

With "Survivor" down to its final four, the theories about the show's $1 million winner are as prevalent as kangaroos and thunderstorms at the outback setting.

A man who says he's a disgruntled television writer claims he has inside information on the order the four contestants will be knocked out, and the eventual winner.




That would be news for the folks at CBS, who say the votes cast during the final tribal council were sealed and locked away after the show was filmed in Australia last fall.

"[Executive producer] Mark Burnett doesn't know," said CBS spokesman Chris Ender. "[Host] Jeff Probst doesn't know. I find it hard to believe anybody has inside information."

The winning survivor will be revealed in a two-hour finale May 3.

CBS can't be too upset about all the speculation, since it only increases interest in what is already television's top-rated show. CBS wouldn't comment on theories during the first "Survivor" last summer, and Burnett never denied speculation that he was behind some planted hoaxes.

The latest potential spoiler identifies himself only as "Jesus" and is a regular caller to "The Dan and Scott Show," a talk show on eyada.com. He said he's telling secrets about "Survivor" because he writes scripts for television shows and is upset about reality TV taking jobs away from writers.

He correctly predicted that Rodger Bingham would be knocked off Thursday and has given details over the past few weeks that only insiders would know, said Dan Schulz, co-host of the Internet talk show.

Schulz said he finds it implausible that people like Burnett or his crew members don't know the winner.

Skip this next paragraph if you don't want to read the theories of "Jesus."

He predicts Colby Donaldson is voted out next week and Elisabeth Filarski is the next to go. The final showdown is between Keith Famie and Tina Wesson, and "Jesus" says Wesson wins.

Some people who watch the show closely are skeptical.

"He could be legitimate," said Melissa Batson, a college student from Los Angeles who runs a Web site on "Survivor" speculation. "But the thing is, you never really know. It could be someone playing a trick."

One thing that makes Batson suspicious is that the predicted winner seems somewhat obvious to people who have been watching the show regularly.

Batson's Web site, elipsiiis.com, has been posting "Survivor" predictions the morning that each show airs for the past month. It has correctly identified in advance everyone to be ousted, but has gotten a few details, like winners of individual challenges, incorrect.

The choices are based on obsessive work by fans who study interviews and preview footage aired by CBS, she said.

Other supposed "insiders" have already been proven wrong. One Internet correspondent, saying his source was the friend of an uncle, predicted in February that Jerri Manthey and Amber Brkich would be the two finalists. Both are already off the show.

"I'm quite skeptical," said Paul Sims, who runs the Web site survivorsucks.com. "The only real way to analyze the show is to pick it apart by old-fashioned detective work. You should be very wary of somebody who says he has inside information."

CBS, as it has said repeatedly, "will continue to allow the press to run inaccurate information," Ender said.

"It's always disappointing that there are individuals out there, whether they are right or wrong, who want to spoil something," he said

highlander i think part of the show is all the speculation that happens. I believe no one knows who the winner is. But i find it fun to read all the spoilers. remember during survivor1 everybody thought gervase was the winner. i think cbs has a tight grip on things and they enjoy all the speculation which makes the show so interesting to watch and see if peoples guess are correct.

Mine was that one of the tribe would get attacked by a crocodile because of her scent.

Rich on Keith's proposal & his pick for next week
--------------------------------------------------
Here's the latest article by Rich from the ET newsletter:

A Message from Richard Hatch: Keith Famie Is the New Jerri

Delicious, brilliant, fabulous -- last night's "Survivor" was all of these things. The emotion of the survivors crying as they spoke with their loved ones back home over the Internet was powerfully moving, turning millions of TV viewers into crying ELISABETHs. I can't wait to meet her next week. I don't know if I'll call her by her familial pet name, "Bessy," but I am quite confident that she is the next one to go.

Last night, RODGER, good 'ol "Kentucky Joe," was voted out of the game. I admire COLBY for keeping his emotions in check. He was up to his well-defined abs with distain for KEITH, but ultimately he let strategy, not emotion, inform his decision to vote for Rodger. I could barely stomach Keith's proposal to girlfriend. He ("Carrots") asked her ("Peas") to marry him and she said yes. It would have been classic if her instant message back to him was, "Honey, we'll talk about it when you get home." But, it wasn't.

Log on to ET Online after 4 p.m. EST for my entire Survival Instinct column. You'll find out why TINA and Colby need to fight to be the last one standing with Keith to win the million dollars, why Elisabeth will be the next to go and how Keith is replacing JERRI as the most-hated survivor in the Outback. I'll also share those thoughts on ET tonight, along with my Rodger Bingham interview. If you think you felt like a sap last night, just wait until you hear how Elisabeth reacted when she discovered that Rodger had sacrificed himself to keep her in the game in last night's show. I want to see Rodger and Elisabeth in Hallmark card commercials!

I so don't like that Richard Hatch person.

Aren't his 15 minutes up?

Interesting how Richard Inhaler can tell if Keith's proposal was real or not. Considering how well Rich has done analyzing S2 so far, he shouldn't be saying too much. There won't be any room for rice in his mouth with both feet up to his knees already there.

Really. On the morning show panel there were three, including Richard and each picked a different winner. No one picked Keith and to my amazement, Bryant was actually kind of defending Keith :)

Richard has done a horrible job of prediction.

I think Tina will win, too. But not because of the spoiler. The "jury" may not like Keith for whatever reason in the past. If it does get down to just those two.

In the previews for next week's show are these quotes:

Narrator: "PLUS, the person they trust the most could end up being the ultimate betrayer."

COLBY: "How bad do you want the money?"

KEITH: "It's anybody's game right now."
---------------------------------------------
Who do you think is the person they trust the most?

I was thinking Elisabeth, but then.. I don't know.
Then I thought maybe it is Mark or Jeff...

That's a tough one... at this point I don't think they would trust each other at all - too close to the end.
