ON THE NEXT SURVIVOR AFRICA
* One person wins a day and night away at a magnificent safari and gets to invite another to join. Together, thanks to a little bourbon, they have an incredibly memorable time.
* The tribe members get to know each other a little better through their respective families, who participate in a challenge.
* One tribe member attempts to form an alliance along gender lines. Only the votes will reveal whether this plan has worked. Will it?

Safari trip with bourbon.... as much as it irritates me, it will be ETHAN yet again, and where liquor is involved it could only mean the guest is TOM.

We saw a preview of the videos, but the reward challenge is the safari trip, so maybe everyone gets to see their full videos this time?

We already know that TERESA is trying to form the women's alliance. Hopefully KIM J will cross over.

I thought since it involves bourbon,
that Ethan was not one of the
winners of the safari.

I am thinking it is Lex, and he choses
Tom.

I think that one of the mess ups on the official site where it lists what's coming up said
"Tom's Big Adventure"
Can anyone else confirm that?

If it is Tom's big adventure,
then I change my mind again.
I now say that tom wins the safari
and the bourbon and takes along
either Kim P.
or Teresa, because he loves those women!

I don't see Tom winning a challenge of any kind. The question, who would take Tom if they won? Assuming, of course, that Toms adventure is the safari.

KimP is a good possibility. She does not seem strongly aligned with anyone and she and Tom really like each other. It would be a good strategy move for her as well. If anyone would be inclined to take her along it would be Tom.

Bourbon playing any signifigant part would exclude Ethan. If any of the Boran alliance wins this, another would be chosen to go. Lex and Tom is the other possibility. Lex would choose Tom in an effort to strengthen their weakening bond.

This is a stupid question, I am sure, but why wouldn't Ethan be a part of a bourbon adventure? How do you know he isn't a drinker? Am I missing something?

Yeah,didn't Ethan drink some of that wine when the teams merged? I wouldn't exclude Ethan from this.

Kim P.would really only pick Tom so it could be her.

Also it's almost a no-brainer that Teresa gets kicked off this week.

Unless of course she wins immunity:)

Speaking of which- there is a new preview that seems to show the IC for next week. I haven't seen it yet- but there are caps of it up at Survivor Fever.
From those who have seen it- they say it looks similiar to the plate breaking challenge from last year - except that they are throwing machetes at pots.

You know - for way less than a million dollars the producers could hold a challenge contest that would bring in some super ideas! Do they have any idea how creative we are?? NOT!!

What does everyone think about the new gender-alliance thing? Anyone think Mamma Kim will jump ship?
I don't think she will,because she feels pretty confident that the boys will vote Lex off before her,leaving her in the final 3(where she doesn't have a chance).
If she jumps ship next week whatever guys are left are gonna throw votes at her. Of course,if Teresa or Kim P. win immunity,it's to her advantage in a way,because she'd still go to the final 3,they'd just vote the last guy off,maybe. If the last guy was Tom,I could see he,Kim and Mama voting off Theresa!

Hip,

The female allience is Teresa and KimP's best chance at this game. But, like you I don't think KimJ is going to bite. I think she stands an equal chance at getting to Final two with either scenario.

Seeing as how picky and judgemental she has been of others for trying to "Play The Game" in a less then open way. Is seems highly unlikly she'd jump ship.

Seems we are likely to several more episodes of "Pagong-ing".

Right now I am really rooting for Teresa. She has worked the hardest strategically in this game. Unfortunatly she has been let down several times. Both by her teammates and just dumb luck.

I am holding the hope that after Theresa goes this week (I agree that is a no brainer) KimP will win the next IC challenge forcing a Boran to go.

Hey Fruitbat, how was your trip.

I am hoping Lex goes this week but I really don't care who wins. I have no idea how to vote.

You are probably right that Theresa goes this week Lilkimishot but I can see other scenario's that might play out.

Remember the comment that MamaKim made about thinking the guys really didn't want to go to the final 3 with each other. I think she is right and I wonder what is going to happen there. I also said after the first show that Mamakim and Ethan have a secret alliance and I still believe that is true. I can definately see Lex going this week. Boran really doesn't need him right now. I don't have a clue what is going to happen, it is so hard to figure things out this year and I like that. It doesn't help in the deadpool but who cares.

I don't see a reason why they would want Lex gone. We do and could be suffering from wishful thinking.

I suspect Ethan, Tom and KimJ are together and will vote Lex 4th out if Ethan and Tom totally miss the fact that he would be great to take to the final 2.

Kool, the trip went OK. I posted about it in the Road Trip thread.

Yeah, I think they'll hang onto Lex til the final four too. Although,he is winning too many challenges,I still don't think his old tribe will turn on him though.

Agreed Hippt. No way, as much as MB would want us to think.............pagonging is here with us now.

Bat, why do you feel it's a nobrainer that Teresa is next to go?

I am going against the Lex Heads, and hoping that Lex is out.

From a pure game playing perspective, he has shown to be strong in all types of challenhges. He seems to be able to rally people. Those are not the reasons I want him out though--I actually respect this aspect of him.

I want him out for his actions--for his words to others, then lcak cof respect for the game or any of his competitors. Those that oppose him are not seen as worthy opponents. They are are seen as snakes who must have their heads removed, or as someone to be hated for not lettting him just walk up to the win.

To the issue of keeping someone not liked because you can beat them for the win--ask Monica in BB2 about that. As long as a person is in the game, they have a chance to win. If you don't want them to win, there is only one way to assure it doesn't happen; they have to be removed from the game.

I hope they get a meal with their bourbon,can you imagine how drunk they'd get? A BAD memorable Trip!!! Two shots and off to Vomitland!

Hippyt, for me it would be the first taste--I can't stand the taste of bourbon. LOL

Even with food, I'm sure it would have some affect on them, conisdering their intake in the past 30 days. Just one more way that you never get something for nothing on Survivor.

In order for Lex to go at least one of Tom, Ethan or MamaKim must vote him off. Since they have all vowed to be part of that group of four to the end, that means one of them would have to break that promise -- and then we'd all think poorly of them, and so might the jury. It seems that breaking your alliance allegiance is a critical error -- in the eyes of the other survivors and in the opinions of most of the folks on this board.

The only way the alliance can be broken and minimize the damage to the other three, would be if all three agree that Lex is intolerable, and they all vote him off. I don't see that as very likely either. Again, it comes down to breaking your alliance, and may hurt the jury's opinion of those three.

So, if they are thinking strategically, they are thinking that Teresa and little Kim must go next. The only thing I see that can change that, is that some of them throw strategy and promises out the window; or someone gets really ill, and gets a sympathy vote off.

I have been really busy this week- but in reading some other boards, there is a theory that Kimj might pull a reverse "Brandon"- pretend to defect to the girls team, vote Lex off... to do the dirty work for her "boys" Ethan and Tom, then go back. (All this done with their knowledge).

I am not sure I think she is this smart, but she did mastermind booting Silas... and that was pretty foxy!

As Karuuna said above, it depends on how badly they dislike Lex, and I am not sure THEY really do. Frankly if I were Tom or Ethan, I would WANT to go up against Lex- he will have alienated most of the jury-
Both Tom and Ethan are both liked by most.. wouldn't be too safe for them to go against each other. They are probably keeping Lex for just that reason.
