I just thought I'd start a thread here for any rice theories anyone might have. This could be something big that can really change the outcome, or it could just be alot of hype. But I thought it would be easier to keep it in one place.

Here's a theory, maybe they have to pay for the rice. Say $100,000 a pound from the winnings? It would be a tough choice.

Or maybe they have to kick an extra person out of the tribe in order to get more food??? Wouldn't that be interesting? :)

I think they have to forgo any immunity for the round. Not earth-shaking, but enough to make them stop and think a bit.

And I'll take it a little further, and say they will refuse the challenge and go without the rice, if it comes to what Enbwife, and Max said might happen.

Hey, how come their out of food anyway ? Aren't their any rats around to eat like it was in the first Survivor. I kind of feel cheated that I haven't seen anyone eating rats ! LOL So far the Men that are left on the team aren't very good hunters are they ? If Mike was still their right now, they all would be eating good.

How un-PC of you Misslibra:). Don't you remember the stink raised by all the bacon eating, burger munching, PETA people who were appalled by the audacity of Mike's pig hunt. Gee, how terrible, hunting, killing and eating your own food.

Since Michael was burned out, so to speak, and they did a recap show, can they really do a full player non-immunity ploy to stay on track? It makes the most sense but I don't think that's fair. Then again, my name isn't Burnett.. Hey Rollerboy, like I said before, Mike killing the mana chickens was Kucha's downfall. He killed the pig when they still had chickens, just to show what a big hunter he was, gobble em up long before merger time and not get the eggs. He may be a deer hunter from the city but as an outdoor person, forget it, he even proved that for me the week I wrote it.. If the Survivors forego next immunity for food, well, it's a staged game for sure. Oh, did anyone else besides me collect on Sue Hawk's TV Guide $1 million bet that Jerri was going to win? LOL!!!

I think they may have to give up an immunity challenge. The reward challenge previews say, "The reward challenge brings joy to all... but not without its "natural consequences" for all but two." Giving up immunity "would" be a big deal to Nick and Elizabeth because I'm sure they think the Ogakor alliance will be back now even though they broke ranks to get rid of Jerri. But maybe new alliances will form as Jeff pointed out at the last tribal counsel. It's going to be fun to watch again. It seemed to predictable as they were picking off Kuchas before. The only reason it would have been worth watching it if they had gotten rid of all the Kuchas was then they'd have to turn on each other....

I look forward to seeing what the trade is to get the extra rice. Based on the concept of the show, the trade should be something significant/important, as they are getting something significant/important.

I agree Nick will see IC as a big deal--not so sure about Elisabeth though. I'm thinking Colby will see IC as very important as well.

I liked the comment Probst made after Jerri got voted off--it was as if there was a new energy in his voice about the game. Almost like it was not so fun for him either with this strictly tribal line voting that had been going on.

Let's hope Jerri doesn't sue MB later on in the year ala Stacey "Spilled Milk" Stillman.

They can have some more rice, but only if they let Jerri come back to watch and complain while they cook it

At the official CBS site - this is what it says for next week's episode:

Without her friend Jerri, what will Amber's strategy be as she continues to play the game? Will she continue to support the Ogakor alliance, or might she opt to join Kucha's?

Having poorly allocated their rations of rice, the tribe has never been this hungry. As a result, they negotiate a major deal, which will hugely affect their lives in the Outback, in exchange for more rations. What will the deal be?

The reward challenge brings joy to all... but not without its "natural consequences" for all but two.

So - it looks like they still have a reward challenge as well as having to make some trade or deal for rice.

Hmmmm now to me, "natural consequences" could mean they ate something that didn't agree with them.. probably not. OK.. my mind is bent.. they all vote to eat one tribemember? Obviously I'm clueless.

I'm with you guys.. I think they'll have to give up the immunity round for more food. That makes sense and would be a hard decision for them to make because immunity is so important in this game.

What if, instead of no immunity round, they have to go to tribal council and instead of voting someone out, they have to pick a name out of a hat?

MB makes a lot of hype out of nothing. I remember in an interview, he let Colby bring his flag, never thinking it could be used as a shelter. Maybe he's still p.o.'ed about it and he wants to exhange rice for the flag?

Good one Grooch! You are so right about MB... we'll see!

I put this in another thread
The box beside the rice must contain something ... possibly home videos (it's about that time again) or something else of value that they must trade for...

Monk...Natural Concequences is curious and that was the first thought that crossed my mind too. I'm sure is isn't that but the word natural is signifigant.

MB would not eliminate a challenge. They are the bulk of the show and create tention and excitement. Someone could be asked to give up the neclace for rice AFTER the challenge but that does not fit the teasers....."all but two" and "natural". We should be able to figure this out. Someone who has had more sleep than I could. I'll work on this tomorrow. Good night.
