I suppose we haven't seen any Lindsey/Lex post-TC drama because of getting votes but there have been no ties so we haven't really seen how the tie breaker would work under the new rules. We also have not seen anyone give away immunity or anyone make a play for someone else's immunity. I wonder if the next crop of Survivors will go into the game with these revised rules as part of their strategy?

Hi Joan, So happy to see that I'm not the only one still awake. I'm in California, so it's not all that late here. I'm so unhappy with the TAR result that I'm gonna be awake for a while.

So, in regards to your post, I don't understand what you are wondering, exactly.

I'm thinking Pappy gives up his immunity tomorrow to Neleh... But what the *heck* do I know.. But yes, I wish we would have found out what the difference would have been. Maybe Rosie will ask..

The changes must have some impact. This season is different and better. Somehow the new rules have jogged this show into high gear. It is refreshing to see them all playing to win *and* getting along.

Knowing the rules have changed is keeping them focused on the prize. They are waiting for twists at each turn. That in itself seems to have made a major impact.

Yes, we have avoided the witch hunts of Africa since past votes no longer count but no one has really done anything with the giving away immunity bit unless you count Sean tonight but that was prompted.

Sunriverrose, I am wondering whether Survivor 5's contestants will count on immunity being "givable" and work that into their strategy somehow.

Well the issue of transferrable immunity certainly was a big factor in this episode..

And this season is absolutely more dynamic and engaging..

I think this was it, Jeff provoked tonite's "auction" for immunity....don't think anyone had thought about just making a deal for it! It seems that winning means a lot to the players, and up to now they think it is pushy or impolite to go after it.
Once Jeff opened the floodgates, it was everyone in! But Kathy held her place!

I think if the rule is the same, future players will really take tonight's episode to heart and will use the IN as a bargaining tool.
