For the record, here is what Jeff says:

"Here's a couple of bits of information. If you're a fan of the show, immediately following tonight's broadcast you can go to ebay.com, an auction, there's all kinds of items there, all of their torches are there, the urn with all the votes back here is gonna be up for bids, so if you wanna do that it benefits the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, it is a great cause. Also, so that's ebay.com -

Also, we're looking for people, for Survivor 7, so go to cbs.com on that. And let me give you a tip...it's a little cryptic. Study John Nash's Non-Cooperative Game Playing Theory. All the answers to Survivor are there. So for you fanatics, get on the internet. Alright. Tomorrow morning on the Early Show we're gonna be giving this man right here Brian a million bucks, let me say very well deserved. Congratulations..."

thanks weinermr

moonie, now you have to study this book and figure out what role you will need to play. will you be able to be a follower and then strike when necessary? or be a charismatic leader and not be pushy? whichever you decide i know you will be great at it and be the last one standing. but we just got to get you on the show.

are you good at striptease?

See it looks like the minute you get on a team, you scope out the others...if they are mostly take charge...you be UTR...and wait them out.

If they are all UTR..YOU Be the leader.

This seems pretty simple...the think is you have to be able to pivot on a dime because you can't have a pre-planned strategy...you have to be able to adjust your personality and approach depending on who you get stuck with.

Square, she has already told us she is good at the pole...that answers the striptease question.

And I was hoping being good at the pole was cryptic and had another meaning

The pole has many many meanings, grasshopper.

Then again, how many of the contestants will have studied that now? Say all the members of one team heard Jeff's clue and all were trying it. All have no idea about the others and are thinking they are possibly the only one with this bit of knowledge. What happens then?

They will start out being UTR because it is safer than starting out too aggressive. Once they see everyone else is also starting that way, others try to become leaders. Since they all have this plan, some may see others emerging to lead and continue the UTR technique. You can't have too many leaders though right? If too many try, then those UTR will succeed. If they step back though, that will leave one leader.

So how do you manuever yourself against 6 others playing the exact same strategy as you? Is it better at that point to toss out that strategy and go with your own? Or do you keep struggling against everyone else, going from leader to UTR trying to find the right niche. Everyone wants to be the ONLY leader or the ONLY one UTR. Can't happen when everyone is trying to do that. Could be interesting. Maybe it will be required reading as part of the survival manual just to ensure this does happen.

BUT...S6 is already finished. Those players will not have seen the clue that Jeff gave, so this will give us insights into that game that they probably did not have going in.

I think Jeff knows we get bored in the month between seasons, and he wanted us to have something to talk about.
