Wow, I wake up to find all this! Excellent! Thank you so much Herm and Ginger!

Bat, I like your idea. I haven't been around to any of the other sites yet, but I will keep it in mind when I do. I think with some tweaking you are on to something. I think there is SOME type of fake out that occurs. Just from the previews shown at the end of last night's show, it seemed to me that Jenna and Heidi were working together on those stumps, like they were back on the same tribe. It sounds like Jenna says, Heidi, are you reading to pull your pants down?
I would think if the stump standing was for individual immunity, they wouldn't seem that way, even if they are friends. (just a thought off the top of my head with no reseach to back it up at this point)
Also, watching that same clip, I could see what looked like a logo on Heidi and Jenna's buffs. Something else that stuck out at me, Butch was not wearing a buff! Neither was Alex (I think it was Alex)
What does that mean?
I haven't seen any of the commercials yet, just what was shown at the end of last night's show, so maybe this is all moot.

Anyway, I have to log off shortly, and probably won't be able to get back here until tonight or tomorrow, but it will be interesting to see what everyone thinks. I am proud of tvch this year, we are really getting some quality speculation here!

Herm, thanks for you thoughts on the headache. Its still there, but not as bad as last night.

Ok, I didn't realize that MB had colored the buffs before. They are definately colored. Any speculation on that is over for me. Way too obvious.

So the time each survivor remains on the stump is tallied and the players are again divided. The group with the lowest scores are immune and they all vote for one in the other group with the higest scores, then they merge.

They will be presented with their new buffs at TC.

CBS...."All eyes are on two women who strip in order to win their favorite food items at a Challenge."

So there is food involved and I agree that a new twist to the IC is presented. They are always tempted with food in this challenge so there must be a way they can secure a favorite treat for when they do come down or fall off. MB may have had bargaining of some kind in mind, not forseeing the strip show aspect. Bet he is thrilled!

Yes, but, the women have buffs on, the men don't, what does this mean? I think we are going to see something totally different from any other merge we have seen before.
I still say I could see some sort of decoration (probably the logo) on Heidi and Jenna's buffs. If anyone taped it, play it back in show motion.
And, they didn't look colorized to me on the preview last night, just clean and fresh compared to what they were wearing before.

Yea, I'm still here, lol.

The locked box contains a map and instructions to move to another camp. They assume merge but it contains no buffs.

I don't think they were given new buffs at the false merge in Thailand. They were just told that they would live together at one beach and Jeff said I never said that it was a merge and you didn't get new buffs.

Did they get new buffs when they had the fake merge or is this a red herring Jeff is throwing at the audience?

Something is telling me that the log standing is not the IC.

Herm's post at 6:48pm shows Deena in an orange buff and the color is on her forehead too. That is my proof that there has been colorization.

I checked out Survivor Challenge for week 7 and the reward and immunity challenge questions are for individuals.It also seems very curious that only the women have on the red "buffs".

i thought the women were in the buff....lol

Sar, is that site created by CBS? If not they are only going on information that we have access to as well.

At Survivor Phoenix, on page 3 of their 4 pages of preview shots from Episode 7, they have this blown-up picture of Alex. Instead of labeling it with a series of numbers and letters like they do all of the other pictures, this one is labeled "BoyBuff". Obviously, they are saying the thing on the right wrist is a buff. boybuff

I think all the men have buffs on in those pics where many see them to be absent. They tend to wear them on their wrists and the color doen't necessarily show because of shadows and such a small area shown in the first place.

Herms post at 7:19 pm shoes them on the ladders. I see Buches buff on his right wrist. I think they forgot to color it.

Who knows what color Alex's buff is there, the color is so washed out on everything.

Regarding the red buffs ..... I snatched these 4 from the latest shots put up at Survivor Phoenix.

Those look totally different from the ones in the preview! Up there see how you can't get away from the logo?

Take a look again at the preview buff:

What could be going on???

I mean, why color them and then just post them for real later unless AT THAT TIME, there has been a fake merge.

That's what I was thinking, Hermione...

Maybe when they do the endurance thing, they all think they have new buffs. The pictures I just got off of Survivor Phoenix could have been taken later in the show when they have actually merged? I just don't know yet......it's really mind-boggling at this point.

This makes no sense. Some definately have been colored. No talking me out of that. So why?

They must be mixing up the promo footage. But the text certainly implies this challenge is next week.

Just watch, when they merge the damn buff will be purple.

I am not convinced these most recent pics have not been colored, just a better job. Robs looks tinted.

Couldn't resist snatching these two shots...
These pictures are side by side over at Survivor Phoenix, so we are probably suppose to be lead to believe that the "thumbs up" shot is taken just before the "flying leap" picture. Notice that it appears Deena is still intact on top of her perch at this point and the stand on the far side of her is empty. What is going on???

True, Fruitbat. They could have just done a better job of colorizing in this set. If you look at the shot of Dave, (as well as Rob), there seems to be some "leakage" into the forehead.

Right now, which is way early into the week....TDT is saying there is no RC, there is a merge, the IC includes a reward, and that Alex is probably going to Loser Lodge. Will be interesting to see how this changes, if at all, the closer we get to next Wednesday night.

Look at the flags behind them. There looks to be three colors on the flags- Jaburu buff color, Tambaqui buff color and new buff color. WTF??! Could they have split into 3 tribes of 3-3-4???

Hermoine, can you tell me where Snezer posts please. i was talking to my friend who wanted to know how Acme could get so much right but get the evicted wrong so I mentioned Snezer and now she really wants to know where he is. (She is amazed how he could get the evictee right, I keep trying to explain that we aren't really sure where these people get their info) I couldn't remember where he posts. Thanks so much
