"I'm going to make you an offer which could change the entire game. Sixty seconds. Everybody think about this. This is an individual decision."

Must be pretty good because they all looked like it was a tuff choice!! Or maybe just the editing!!

I wonder if they are going to give them a chance to change teams. I could see Stephanie going for it.

Azriel, that is what I thought too. But who would leave the bananas? Maybe Stephanie, would Helen switch with her?

Was it just me, or did anyone notice that it was only the women that were shown being given this "option" by Jeff? And did anyone else notice that when Jeff said that CG suffered a "big loss" that they showed all the CG members EXCEPT for Helen? Think something happened to Helen and now they need to get another woman over on CG with Jan? Of course, all speculation, we all know how MB likes to "lead us on" with his previews.

I think they would have to throw something else in with the chance to change teams, because the Survivors would have to expect that they would be odd man out on the other team and very vulnerable. I agree that Stephanie would be the most likely to profit from such a decision. I can see CG voting Jan out before Stephanie. They need some strength. It really showed in the RC tonight.

I'll bet Stephanie would definitely go if she knew that the other team had such a much better shelter.

I'm wondering what those two big urns behind the ever-lovely Mr. Probst are for? Just a prop,or something to do with the decision?

I missed the previews... flipped to ABC for Push. However, SurvivorFever has some vidcaps up already. The link is below.

Looks to me like the reaction of the women doesn't quite fit with an offer of changing tribes. Jan looks surprised and happy in a good way. Erin looks surprised and awed. Stephanie looks like a weird combination of tempted/amused and Shii Ann looks like an even weirder combination of tempted/amused/chagrined . Penny stands out because she actually looks a bit perturbed to me.

I can see Jan considering a tribe change because she got left in the cold by Helen, but I don't think her reaction would be surprise and happiness. She would have to think it over seriously. She is just as likely to be the next bootee on SJ as she is on CG.

Erin seems to already have an alliance at SJ, why would she want to change? That is an interesting expression on her face. Shii Ann, while many see her as the 5th wheel in that same alliance, probably does not see herself that way. Why would she want to change tribes and lose what she believes to be an alliance? And why would Penny be perturbed about whatever offer this is?

If JP offers money and/or food to the first people to accept the offer, that could better explain some of the faces. I just can't imagine that a straight, no strings attached, opportunity to change tribes would bring these reactions.

Hermione69, did they show Helen? I'm still thinking something happened to Helen, because she's not being shown, but all the other women are.

Hi Rabernet, no they didn't show Helen. I don't think they showed Robb either. I can't help thinking Helen stays awhile because of some spoiler info that I've come across, but that wouldn't be the first time spoilers are wrong!! Robb, on the other hand, seems to be the one that gets injured as is suggested by the pictures so if anyone leaves due to an injury, I think it will be him.

Hmmm, interesting point, but isn't it also interesting that it "appears" that only the women are being offered this "deal"? Which makes me think something happened to Helen, and they need to balance out CG.........

And they also said that CG suffered a great loss, and they show Brian, Clay, Ted, and Jan, but no Helen, then they go to this offer and show all the women EXCEPT Helen, and the offer doesn't seem to be to the guys.

I'm probably way off base here, but......LOL

My first thought- and maybe its too much Mole- was they would offer the first person who would volunteer money ($25,000 or $50,000?) to go! But it wouldn't take a lot of thought for most of them to take that, I wouldn't think. The weaker ones have to know they cant win the million and wouldn't have to think about it.

That would change the tribes- no TC decision, one less member, etc. And maybe cause some conflict in the tribemembers?

Just a thought.

I just studied those pictures, and the Chuay Gahn loss, I think, may be that they lose their boat from keeping it too close to the shoreline... Just a thought, but knowing how MB likes to blow things WAY out of proportion to make EVERYONE watch, I would think that could be it. If you look at the previews for JUST CG, they only show the men, not Jan, or Helen. I really don't think anything happens to Helen next week. As for the surprise - I have absolutely no idea on that...

No Boat---no water. That would be a HUGE loss.

According to the CBS website promo, all of those that guessed that CG loses their boat, are winners. You can also hear Jeff ask if anyone wants to switch tribes.

The boat makes sense in terms of a "BIG" loss.

just watch the preview its all in there.

- Jeff makes an offer for anyone to switch tribes
theres almost certainly a catch though

- brian says "the boats gone..?"

i think this is the episode where we find out whats up with all the clothers strewn about, probably a high tide er rain er something.

has an interesting analysis of what this could be. Contains spoilers!

"The Power Of One" Here's a thought...suppose the inducement to switch tribes is garaunteed immunity for one or two or three weeks? Or, suppose your own immunity for one week, AND you get to pick one other person who cannot be voted out? This could be really disruptive. Just a thought.

They can build a raft if their boat is gone.

Plus with all the rain they have they should be able to catch some in their pots.

I saw Clay reacting also in the promos so I think they will be offered money to leave the island.

We have the answers at CBS.com Risa, just watch the video of the preview of next week, as mentioned above Chuy loses their boat and the offer is if anyone wants to switch tribes.
