Pick up sticks sounds like the twist episode.

Either that, or the 'sticks' that make up the shelters have to be picked up and moved. Jeff P said in interviews that challange areas were flooded at times and they had to plan quick to figure out alternatives. It's a possibility that one or both of the camps flood too.

I am thinking this is where the men will 'pick up' on the girls, possibly a really thin one

maybe it is a take-off on 'pull up stakes' and they are merging their two camps.

From the TV guide blurb:


"Just as the men are getting comfortable with their severe environment, one of them is injured. In the women's camp, an overheard conversation leads to controversy."


hmmm...overheard or overlipread?

maybe they have to eat soup with chopsticks?
perhaps they have to use chopsticks to pick things up in a challenge.
maybe they have to see who can chop the most wood with their machetes.

Okay.......Dave picks up sticks (Jenna) and they go on a date!!!

Are the tribes merging early? Is this like when Boston Rob and Kathy went on their overnight? And Jerry and Colby, etc.
Do they win a reward? If so, how would that work?

I'm wondering very seriously about a switch that would put Dave and Jenna on the same tribe. Or an early merge? Why else would two people from opposing tribes be on a date, presumably an RC, together? They couldn't have banked on cuties winning it. If it had been Jeanne and Butch, for example, that would be nothing but weird.

Webkitty, maybe like Rob and Kathy, as you said. They are "scouts."

I'll have to double check this, but I think I remember ChillOne saying there would be an early merge. So far, all his stuff has panned out (except for exact boot order) I know, I sound like a broken record on this, lol, but bear with me for a minute.

It looks like his prediction that if a certain person (Shawna) wasn't voted out, one of the girls agreed to get nekkid. Now, we see Jenna doing just that in the next episode.
Now that Joanna is gone, (pretty much fulfilling his first 4 boots) and Jenna does indeed to this next episode, there is no doubt in my mind that he is for real.
Where am I going with this? Right, the early merge. IF he said there was one, (and again, I have to double check) then I believe there will be one.
I have to figure out how this all ties in with Jenna getting nekkid. Its too late tonight, mission on for tomorrow.

Makes me wonder if Jenna thought the producers could influence the votes. Otherwise it makes no sense for her to tell the producers her behavior would depend on whether or not Shawna got voted out. Of course that then makes me wonder if the producers actually could and did influence the votes, since they seem kind of desperate for nude scenes in this edition.

I'm so sorry I read those ChillOne predictions, because now I really have to fight to keep myself interested in the rest of the series.

ON THE NEXT SURVIVOR

Just when the tribes start to get comfortable, a surprise tempts them with the opportunity of some new dynamics.


Accusations fly at the women's camp when Jeanne secretly overhears a conversation, which leads her to declare a new attitude.


Just as the men become confident that they have mastered their environment, Alex is suddenly hit with an injury.

Thanks for posting that Mygetaway!

Ummmm, a surprise that temps them with a new opportunity sounds like a merge isn't a definate. They get to decide IF they want to merge? From the previews last night, it looks like Jenna and Dave are selected to work this out.
I wonder if that locked box in the mens camp has anything to do with this. (do the women have one too?) What is in the box? New buffs? The name of the representative? What if that person had been voted off already? All speculation here.

Jeanne overhears a conversation, which leads her to a new attitude. I didn't think her attitude could get any worse, I'll have to think about this.

Alex gets an injury. I don't think its serious, but it could cause him to be vulnerable.

Here is something interesting from SS

the swap
--------------------------------------------------
In an earlier thread, Chaos says

Quote:
--------------------------------------------------
Survivor rules now state that if tribes are even with 6 each, there is a 3-member swap.
--------------------------------------------------

He also said that he gleaned this factoid from an interview with an S4 player.

Hmm. Maybe Jenna and Dave get to negotiate which members they'll swap.

maybe they swap spit.

Didn't it show in one of the commercials that one of the guys gets bit by a pirrahna? That must be Alex.. hopefully it won't be too bad.


Maybe Dave and Jenna get to start their own tribe, and get all kinds of benefits..then eventually they would go back to the merged tribe? That would be good...LOL

well, i am watching 'planes, trains and automobiles' with john candy and steve martin and had forgotten this line, which may explain what the episode title means:
"we'd have more luck playing pick-up sticks with our butt cheeks." john candy's character to steve martin's character on getting a flight out of wichita for chicago.

okay, so it's not what's gonna happen in a challenge, but when i heard that line, it put me in mind of this topic!

i love the 'pillow' line, too! and seeing the guys all snuggled up in the one bed!

with the 'cute gals' "planes, trains and automobiles" would have to be changed to "they're plain, we remain auto-nubiles"

I was thinking maybe they draw straws or sticks to see who goes on the meeting. Dave and Jenna win. I also had the thought that maybe what is in the mystery box has something to do with it. They have never shown whether the women have a box,though.

i am not going to touch the 'whether the women have a box' line if i have to duct tape my mouth closed to keep from doing it!!
