There is a lot of detail about what happened between Ghandia and Ted in this week's Enquirer, which my mother read to me over the phone. I was surprised because it leaked things that have not been seen yet.

Meggie, what did it say happened, exactly? I remember your earlier post that seemed to indicate Ted made advances to her while "spooning" one night. But then she had her hand on his thigh last night! Who started what? That's what I would like to know.

Jeff said the confrontation was part of a challenge...he said it was the first time they had players do a challege that was that physically confrontational and it almost came to blows.

Here are the clues from CBS for this episode:

An incident between a man and a woman becomes explosive, as tribe members react differently to facts and rumors.

One tribe wins the help of two Red Berets--the equivalent of our Green Berets--who show the tribe how to make the best of everything around their camp, possibly gaining an advantage as better survivalists.

At a Challenge, tensions escalate, prompting a fierce confrontation between the two tribes.

The article said only that they had decided to form an alliance and held hands on the beach (no mention of timing) and then continued plotting while spooning- didn't mean to fall asleep and did, and then he allegedly started groping...she did not confront him until the next day, and the article said that resulting tension led to her ouster-again with no timing mentioned. So we don't know if that means she goes next week (yikes-ANOTHER one from her tribe?) or not. I am surprised that there would be information like that even acknowledging that someone did not win. The hand on the thigh is not mentioned in the article.

And this is why spooning is b*11sh*t. For those of you folks who are married or sleep regularly with a man, things go on with them even while they are asleep. I love my husband but sometimes I'm about the sleep, not anything else and it's like "get off me" and he's not even awake!!!

Gidget you are so right! Just becouse the man is a sleep does not mean the rest of him is. I've been married 14 years and lots of times have had to wake up my hubby to tell him it's sleepy time not play time. LOL

I just laughed my ass off when Ted shouted"I don't even find you attractive" that has got to be the funniest thing I have heard on Survivor. Really, Ghandia should have brought a mirror along for the trip. As for the young tribe, I'm pretty sure the dental guy and Stephanie will go first. Say what you will, Rob's a hard worker while these two just sat it out. Unbelievable. Also, Sii Ann will drive everyone nuts so she will go.

thanks meggie for the info. by my question is this, why are they even spooning, when on their bios it says both of them are married. so whats up with the spooning. and if both of them are married then they "should" know what spooning could lead to.

gidget/photobug, rotflmao. i know exactly what you mean, then they say, "huh what? what do you mean, i just trying to sleep."

It's weird though- my Mom read the article to me...since I mentioned Survivor...but I don't see any mention of it on most of the Survivor sites. It should lead to some spoiling about Ghandia's ouster. The article said that resulting tensions caused her ouster...but not when.

To be fair about the picture of Robb and Clay, look at Robb's hands closely. He is NOT choking Clay in the truest sense of the word. His hands are on Clay's neck, but if you'll notice his fingers aren't squeezing. If it is a confrontational game, they had to expect tempers to flare anyway. It looks like Robb was more or less pushing him by the little footage we were able to see Thursday. Granted, Clay could still get hurt if he was being pushed, but if Robb didn't squeeze his hands shut around Clay's neck, then it ain't a hangin' offense. And there is such a difference in their size, I mean if it were me and I had to choose a CG member to wrestle with Robb, it'd be Ted, and then Brian second. Definitely not Clay. And it also looked like Jed and Ted might have gone at it a little. As far as Ted and Ghandia, from the footage they've shown, Ghandia is the aggressor. Not Ted.

But I could be wrong.

Spooning always leads to trouble at our house! DH & I have had separate beds for the past six years--and we've been married only seven; how sad is that?

As long as it's good when you ARE between the sheets together Sia, why worry about it.

My solution, bigger bed. I'm no angel either. I change positions every 5 seconds. Even the cat gets fed up with me and leaves sometimes

Spooning always leads to touble. My husband wouldn't last five minutes if challenged to spoon and nothing else. (With me, that is, he won't be doing it with anybody else!) No way two people who are married to two other people have any business doing it.

The Robb/Clay thing is probably another preview that leads to no big deal like some of the red herrings in the past. I could be wrong of course.

Gee, Gidget, the problem is that I'd just rather sleep! You have a point; if it were good. . .maybe I should call Dr. Phil. . .

Survivor Fever has 2 pages of vidcaps from the "fight challenge" promo and the he said/she said commercial. The pics show the confrontations between Clay and Robb, and Shii Ann and Ted. Clearly some kind of challenge on a raft.

Great shot of Ken with his shirt off, if you are so inclined...

Car, don't you like Ken? (if so inclined indeed..LOL)

Those are great pictures. I can see where the so-called conflict between Robb and Clay could be misunderstood. This is a misleading situation and published picture. They are clearly in the midst of a competition, where they have to knock each other off.

Of course I like Ken...(so far!) Just giving a heads up for them who are shirtless inclined!

whew! I was wondering..LOL

From what Jeff has said, Ken is going to be in the game for a while...he said something about Ken having a big impact on the game.

Hermione69:

I propose that we all use the proper reality show term for these alleged advances, as coined by Big Brother's Chiara in describing Amy and Roddy's flirtatious behavior: ADVANCEMENTS

ROFL! Our Chiara is quite the (ahem) linguist, isn't she??!!

Yeah, she kept me amused!

Go on Gidget, testify woman!

I just have one question in all of this.

I know there is a million dollars at stake but you are off the North American continent. I'm going to stick my neck out here. I'm sure both Ted's and Ghandia's spouses realize being gone that long and that far will generally put a strain on the marriage. If something happens down there that far away the marriage will stay intact.

Of course they're attracted to one another. Ted was...tripping.

Spooning can get you in trouble and I still believe that something happened between T and G after the initial IC and before tribal council.

I'm suspicious like that.

Why was her hand on his thigh?

Can't a brother get some...I'll stop now.
