Jeff Probst is the host. |
Car54 | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 02:51 pm     ON THE NEXT SURVIVOR The castaways are offered a stunning opportunity that leaves the winner in tears of joy and the losers in tears of pain. Fallout from Tribal Council inspires harsh words from one castaway, causing others to criticize the outburst. One castaway faces a critical decision that could alter the entire game. |
Fruitbat | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 03:01 pm     Thanks Car. I will mull this over for a bit. First we tone that down a tad and see what is literal there. Pain, stingrays? And winner gets out of the water in the nick of time? Who is likely to have harsh words? This last TC seemed pretty normal with the exception of one vote for Jan. Could Jan possibly get testy? Or Clay goes off because he took offense at Jakes little speech at TC. That is more likely it. The one castaway who faces a critical decision could be Jan or Ted. Go with Jake or stay put? |
Car54 | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 03:05 pm     Next week they are the F6. F6 is usually the family visit. Something about that usually evokes tears. 6 is also an even number. I am hoping we finally have a tie at TC. I think it will be Clay ...something about Jake's comments at TC. Clay is going to follow up on that, I bet. |
Fruitbat | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 03:09 pm     Of course, it is the family visit and they will get a brief moment with them like last time. Absoultely. Yes, on Clay, another absolutely. I talked about a tie in another thread. I think it is likely if Ted and Jan catch the drift. |
Seamonkey | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 03:10 pm     I think it will be Clay or Ted who outbursts. Hmm so is it family visit time or win a car time? Would be a hoot if Brian won a vehicle since he has already been tagged as being too well endowed with vehicles.. (even though he isn't driving a Range Rover or something like that..) |
Fruitbat | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 03:11 pm     Tie settling: have the jury vote? Rocks? Quiz? Previous votes? what else? |
Car54 | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 03:25 pm     The spoiler is out there that Ted's brother goes and they win the challenge. Ted bought a fancy motorcycle recently. |
Webkitty | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 05:19 pm     Yep, its got to be the family visit, and I'm guessing the spoiler that its Ted's brother is true. I think since Clay went against the tribe and voted to boot Jake and not Penny, it will cause a problem. If Jake wins the IC, I feel a Clay boot coming. |
Fruitbat | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 08:43 pm     Ted may have earned enough money just by staying this far to afford one if he couldn't have anyway. Teds brother will definately be there. Someone from each family shows up. Not sure if this means he wins the RC. |
Hermione69 | Monday, November 25, 2002 - 04:35 pm     There's a lot of speculation that the first surprise means the family visit, as you guys have said. That fits with tradition as well as the "tears" part of the teaser. I also agree that Clay is likely to be involved in the outburst because of his vote. But what is the second surprise? Logic would suggest that it be a surprise boot. There is absolutely no surprise in Jake being booted, so I'm leaning towards him being safe, either through immunity or a realliance, and the boot being Clay, or even Brian. I'd bet Clay right now. A Clay boot would also fit with his hanging on the jury with Penny for awhile and getting invited to her wedding. I can't believe we have to sit through a recap show before this. Booo! |
Squaredsc | Monday, November 25, 2002 - 05:29 pm     hermione, that sounds logical. |
Fruitbat | Monday, November 25, 2002 - 05:48 pm     The other surprize could be a tie at TC. I am expecting that possibility so I will not be shocked should it occur. |
Hermione69 | Monday, November 25, 2002 - 07:29 pm     I've been thinking about the tie possibility also. I can see it being Jan/Ted/Jake against Helen/Clay/Brian. The thing is, I don't know that Helen would let there be a tie. They know how it worked on Marquesas, don't they? They didn't start filming S5 until June and wasn't S4 over in May? There was speculation during Ghandiagate that Helen's vote went with the men because of that purple rock. She was not going to risk the purple rock being the tiebreaker and thus chancing it that she could be the one to leave. I don't think she would let a tie happen here either unless she was totally in the dark about the votes of three people, and she seems to be pretty aware of which way the wind blows on the tribe to be that ignorant. Maybe the tribe splits that way and she changes her vote to go with Jan/Ted/Jake at the last minute. That would be a surprise! Especially on Brian and Clay! |
Alaginger | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 05:19 am     Noticed this, this morning looking at pictures from Ep. 11 on CBS.com and on Votedoff.tv .... In picture of Survivors walking where Helen is wearing the immunity necklace, Jake is wearing a black, sleeveless t-shirt (going to immunity challenge). In the picture where the Survivors are sitting on 2 rows of benches, Jake is wearing a long-sleeved light-colored shirt (award challenge?). Bench picture shows quite a bit of surprise by Jan, Clay, and especially Helen ... and CBS video voice-over has Jeff Probst saying, did you bring an appetite.......so award challenge may be the "eating of gross food" challenge. |
Micknrc | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 07:25 am     Current speculation has it that the gross food challenge involves the family members (maybe they have to eat the scorpions?) link to preview |
Lauram | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 08:09 am     thanks for the link Micknrc. But I don't see that this involves family. Jakes joy could be a simple as winning immunity. Why did JP say "do it now, or you GUYS are gonna loose"? ---- this suggests it wasn't individual??????? |
Micknrc | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 10:16 am     yeah, in other words the survivor and his/her family member would be 'you guys' as in, "Aunt Betty, suck down that scorpion right now or you and (insert survivor name here) are gonna lose!" I think the reason the speculation is determined to make the RC work with family members involved is the 'tears of joy' stuff and the spoiler about Ted getting a visit right about this point in the game, but of course they could be wrong..... Also in the first preview, when Helen jumps up and Jeff tells her to stay seated, I don't buy that the look on her face is just because she sees a scorpion. She looks like she sees her daughter , or cat, or whomever. |
Webkitty | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 10:54 am     Well, of course I can't view the preview from my webtv, so my question is: what is all this talk about scorpions? |
Catfat | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 02:37 pm     OK, how about this one? The big surprize is that they bring back a booted survivor, ala Amy on Big Brother. If they did, who would it be? Who would cause the most discussion/disruption? I'm thinking Ghandia (ugh, boo, hiss) or perhaps Robb (ditto, see last comment). My choice would be ShiiAnn. I think she got totally ripped by that not-a-merge trick. Or how about Amy? or Richard from S1? He's my favourite player of all time. Ow, stop hitting me, y'all. |
Tabbyking | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 03:10 pm     shii ann coming back would explain the continued hostility from 'kenny and penny' on the talk show circuit! i don't think that's it, but that would be a great one, IMHO |
Moondance | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 03:21 pm     Exactly Mick... her look is excited to see someone or her cat... that's it!!! Each survivor's pet comes back and competes for the challenege... let the best pet win! |
Webkitty | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 05:50 pm     Meow! I went over to SS and found the answer to my question. I guess there are spiders and scorpians involved somehow. Some are saying they have to eat them, but I don't think so. Maybe each Survivor has a relative there, and the relative has to let the spider/scorpian crawl on them, and whoever has the most time wins. But, aren't these things poisonous? |
Fruitbat | Saturday, November 30, 2002 - 05:44 am     Catfat, Richard is my all time favorite too. |
Webkitty | Saturday, November 30, 2002 - 09:39 am     Speaking of Richard, does anyone else think that the kid that plays the son on the Sopranos looks just like a younger version of him? Its uncanny, imo. |
