In a SURVIVOR first,
10 ultra-fans of the series will take on 10 former castaways to compete as
FANS vs. FAVORITES.

The two tribes will be marooned amidst the Rock Islands of Palau, Micronesia.

The skills of the former castaways will be put to the test while the tribe of first-time competitors will see if their enthusiasm and passion for the game is enough to distinguish them as worthy competitors.

Who will prevail to become Sole Survivor?

The problem for James is lack of numbers. He could probably get Erik on his side, and Amanda’s kind of disgruntled and distrustful of Cirie. But that’s only three out of seven. He would need to get Natalie or Alexis to join them, and that doesn’t look promising.

Oh, and WHOO HOO! Over 500 posts!

I know a lot of people here hate Parvati and Cirie, but they’re the only ones left who have been playing the game from the beginning. Alexis and Natalie haven’t done anything strategic. They just joined an alliance offered by Parvati and followed her lead. Erik’s strategy was to cling to Ozzy like a puppy. James seems to be sitting back just waiting for his imminent elimination. And Amanda was whining about the Ozzy blindside. “Now I know they’re really playing the game. Now it’s on.” Um, it’s been on for 27 days before that, girl.

Way back at the begining of this thread we were talking about how Cirie needed to be gone now.

When whatever group she was with at the time settled on who to vote out she stamped her foot and got them to go her way and then sat back and let them do the dirty work.

The question becomes “Does Cirie and Parvati continue to work as a team?”

Final Three - Alexis, , Erik and either Parvati or Cirie? If Parvati or Cirie can get rid of the other and keep the dead weight they should win.

Well, we already know James is injured. My guess is that he develops an infection and has to leave the game this week.

Hmm, don't think it would be James. If his finger puffs up I think he'd chew it off rather then let the Medics look at it again. He knows this is for a Million Dollars.

Just my opinion.

This season seems to have had a lot of hard impacts in the challenges. It's a wonder a couple of ribs were not busted in some of the challenges.

Hmmm ... when was this written? My first guess is James since they showed his infected finger but perhaps it goes back to the beginning and the reference is to Jonathan? I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

The following may answer these questions:

As usual, start highlighting at the --> below IF you don't mind the episode being spoiled:

-->According to a TV Guide release:
Survivor: Micronesia Fans Vs Favs Finale
Date Sunday, May 11 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT)
SURVIVOR: MICRONESIA-FANS VS. FAVORITES- The special two-hour finale begins with four remaining castaways vying for the $1 million prize and title of "Ultimate Survivor." The finale is followed by a one-hour live reunion show hosted by Jeff Probst.

In order for there to be only 4 players remaining by Sunday, May 11th, we need to eliminate 3 players during the next 2 episodes. (May 1st and May 8th)

In addition, the folks over at SurvivorFever.net have vidcaps showing James at the Reward Challenge (visit from loved ones) but he is absent during the player line-up for the Immunity Challenge later that episode.

Now maybe this is just an attempt by the producers to throw us off the track, so I'll leave it up to you to decide.

Veddy interesting.

Speaking of interesting, here's a link to a vid from Jeff Probst's pre-Survivor days as an Access Hollywood correspondent. Some may find it funny.

Actually, it was a combo of the clothes and his sorry attempts to "bust-a-move" that did it.
Let's face it, John Travolta (in Saturday Night Fever) he aint!

It’s just a giggling smiley. You aren’t missing much. With all your blockage I’m surprised you can post here during the day! Great job working around that!

THURSDAY NIGHT 8:00 PM (EST)

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen,
It’s Thursday morning, so that means it’s time for your:
SURVIVOR PING!

The Dabu Tribe: Green Buffs
Alexis, Amanda, Cirie, Erik, James, Parvati and Natalie

The Jury:
Eliza, Ozzy, Jason, ?, ?, ?, ?

The Losers:
Jonny Jackass, Mary, Yau-Man, Mikey B., Joel, Jonathan, Chet, Kathy, Tracy, Ami

The title for this week’s episode is “I'm Gonna Fix Her!”

Now for those who don’t want to have the episode spoiled then hit your back button now.

Otherwise, start highlighting at the - - > below:

- - >
SeeBS website teasers:
The pain keeps on piling up! Two Castaways' positions in the game are threatened in drastically different ways by serious injuries.
The tears flow during an emotional family reunion.
One Castaway goes from power-player to the most desperate of all. And in a season filled with surprises like blindsides and unexpected exits, the shockers aren't over yet!

The Survivors' loved ones visit and watch the survivors participate in a chopping elimination type reward challenge. A series of questions and answers will have the players taking turns chopping ropes and eliminating each other after each correct answer. My best guess is that Alexis wins this challenge and picks Natalie to share. She also selects Amanda to be sent off to exile island.

Amanda finds the re-re-hidden Immunity Idol while on Exile Island.

And sometime between the Reward Challenge and the Immunity Challenge, the medical staff removes James from the game due to the infected cut on his finger. James will however return as a member of the Jury.

The Immunity Challenge appears to be a shooting contest. Each player takes turns shooting an authentic antique gun at targets. The first player to completely shoot out his/her target wins the ugly necklace and a one in five shot at the Million Bucks. I believe Erik wins this challenge and the ugly necklace, much to the chagrin of Natalie and the rest of the Black Widow battalion.

Since Erik has the ugly necklace, one of the women has to get the boot. Cirie, Parvati and Natalie come up with a scheme to not only get Alexis booted but get Amanda to play the Hidden Immunity Idol at the same time. They convince Amanda that she is the one selected to get the boot so she plays her HII, only to find out that she only receives one vote at Tribal Council. Alexis is the real victim behind their scheming.


Well, there you have it:
CUZ’S WEEKLY SURVIVOR PICKS!

- - >
Reward Challenge Winner: Alexis (shares with Natalie)
Immunity Challenge Winner: Erik
Removed from the game: James (for medical reasons)
Removed from the game: Alexis (blindsided at tribal council)

I’ll be back Monday morning with a recap. So till then,
Take care,
