Oh, good for Chris Sarandon, Weiner! I just think she's awful. I really dislike that actress. That makes me like Chris even better, knowing that he dumped her! (or maybe she left him, doesn't matter!) Thanks for telling me that. I didn't have time to try to look him up to discover his relationship to Susan.

I love Susan Sarandon. I think she is a great actress.

Looking at the pictures at Survivor Fever, and their interpretation of them, I'd say Paschal loses in the challenges. It says the word "LOSE" over a picture with Pappy.
The challenge is an idol stack and Pap's stack falls. (According to SF) Sean is shown a lot in the pictures and in the final two, he looks happy.
Last week, there was a picture of Vee with a slingshot and she was smiling. (She won IC with a slingshot)
I'm thinking it's either Pappy or Neleh this week. If Sean is smiling, it means Vee didn't leave. He is really aggravated with Neleh.
The Tale of Two Cities, in this case, might refer to the two separate alliances. Just a thought.

Grooch I'm with you on that. I've admired her for a long time and think she brings her characters alive.

Sia, why do you post in italics? Just curious. I tend to skip things in italics because the resolution on my computer is not great for that. I have no idea why.

She is a favorite actress of mine as well - great depth to her roles!

I'm going with Kathy to win immunity this week.

I am leaning towards her winning the RC too, which I think is an SUV. But I'm not as sure about this as I am about the immunity. I'll have to think about it more.............

I usually post in italics when making an "aside," or a personal comment to one particular member in order to distinguish it from the regular posts or answers in some of the other threads. It is a habit, I guess. I don't have to use italics. I thought it helped.

Susan is my favorite actress too!!! She's also a great advocate for a lot of causes I believe in!I love Tim Robbins also.I've probably seen Shawshank Redemption 20 times,and Rocky Horror 150 times. Of course,in high school,I did work at the midnight movies! As soon as the tickets were all sold and counted,we ducked into Rocky Horrror. Aw,nice memories!

lol Hippy, talk about a Time Warp...the toast, the Scott toilet paper, etc, etc... I wouldn't have wanted to have to be the one to clean up after a Rocky Horror midnight movie.

Sure was fun though.

Here we go, I got it.

This site has pictures for the next challenge. I would put them in but I don't know how :). One shows the corner of a boat that looks like a ferry (with the ramp that a car could come off of). The challenge for this seems to be the building of totem things (again!) and there is one of pascal with a collapsed one. Intereating stuff...

Oh heck, I forgot. I believe the tale of two cities is about the island story. The website I put on the previous post also mentions that there was some sort of tribal warfare or something on the island of Nuku Hiva (where they are). If these two tribes and the story around them are the basis of Jeff's story, then these to tribes and their territories probably would be the tale of two cities. I think I'm going to stick with that theory- seems pretty likely to me.

There are a couple of traditional challenges we haven't seen yet- Kaili is right the "story" challenge is one, and the "super challenge"- one that combines the hardest previous challenges is the other.

We also haven't had a RC where someone wins a car yet. I am thinking the RC is the car challenge, and people are not being particularly good winners and losers here (NELEH!)so winning a car may not be a good thing in the long run. If they are repeating the totem thing (I saw it too in the preview last night) maybe RC is the Super Challenge this time)

If you look at the dark vidcaps in the Pappy spoiler thread and if you see the previews for this week, it looks pretty physical. If it is the story challenge, then it could be a gather the elements of the story kind of thing.
People running and falling made me think it was the "super challenge" combination of several previous challenges.

I am really hung up on the giving of the IC if you win....I just think it is going to happen.

I have been reading a lot of the spec on the other boards too and some of it really appeals to me. I can see two really good times where giving up the IC does not hurt you and it HELPS you:

1. This week, if a member of either of the 2-man tribes wins the IC, one smart thing to do would be to give it to KATHY. It would be difficult to turn down a guarantee of final 4, but it would also be difficult to vote against the duo who gave you the guarantee... you would look pretty bad if somebody gave you immunity and you voted them or their partner out.

2. The other perfect place to give up the IC, if you are feeling good about your place- is at the final 3 (usually endurance) immunity. The winner of the F3 IC traditionally gets to pick who to take to F2, but that winner has tradionally lost the game (Kelly, Colby, KimJ). If you won the F3 IC, and you feel pretty secure (big IF), you give the IC to your closest friend and force THEM to oust the final player.
YOU look princely, smart and strategic to the jury, and your partner would look REALLY bad if they did not pick you to go to F2, so you still have control.
This one is delicate, but in the hands of a player like Lex (when he was healthy) or Richard, this would have added a huge opportunity for manipulation to the finale.

Oh I am rambling...never mind! What were we talking about?

Good thinking Car. I especially like the first option. The problem as I see it, is that this Survivor, more than any other, has been short on planning and thinking ahead. People just aren't playing the game intelligently.

At least, it's not being edited that way. Sure seems it though.
