Ohh boy — more puzzle pieces — it’s like a Survivor puzzle challenge every week with their previews and clips:
Kass spending more and more time alone with Trish — talking about what???
Woo and Tony fistbumping at the boat as if they just made a deal.
Trish and LJ and Jeffra all in the same boat talking F3.
Tasha looking for a flipper.
The alliance is probably planning their 3-3-3 split vote to force Spencer to play his idol and then send Tasha to the Ponderosa on the revote 5-2.
However ... all Tasha needs is one extra Purple to vote for either Spencer or Tony [probably] — and she survives to see another cold night and bowl of rice.
I just don’t see the Purples screwing up the vote until all the Oranges are gone.
Tonight, Wednesday, April 16, 2014, 8/7c on CBS

As of Survivor: Nicaragua, this is a new Survivor ping list. The old list is no longer available, so I would appreciate it if any of you could ping interested parties to this thread. Thank you. :)

So, who do you like and who do you dislike?
I’m OK with LJ, Spencer, Tony and Woo.
I don’t particular care for Kass, Tasha and Trish.
I have no opinion yet on Jefra and Jeremiah.
At least the eye candy made it to jury.
:-)
In limbo on Tony. At first I didn't like him but he's moved up the ladder as the game has progressed.
I like LJ and Woo.
That leaves Tasha, Spencer and Jefra that seem nice enough, but that's as far as I can explain them on my list.
I like them all at this point except Kass.
They are all different and settling into different roles for this season’s melodramatic TCs.
I would love to see pompous Spencer take the whole thing at this point. Probst at the beginning gave him a 0.00% chance of winning and yet he’s still in the game — but not for much longer I’m afraid, though his chance of winning is now better than 0.00%.
Tony and Trish have been the real players thus far but I’m afraid that Tony appears to be losing sleep and panicking.
LJ, Jefra, Woo, Tasha, and the invisible Jeremiah are the most likeable to me because they don’t appear to be scheming all the time like Tony and Trish.
But I see in my crystal square Trish, LJ, Jefra, and Kass [unfortunately] in the F4, with Jefra jetisoned [unfortunately] for the F3.
WOW — that was a shocker
First Kass and now Tony
What is there about Tony that makes people fall for his hogwash??
Did you see Sarah when Jeff asked Tony what he did for a living and he answered “construction worker”??? LOL — She’s still confused. There went her vote —
Another topsy turvy night and Spencer still has his idol and now it’s down to 8 with 3 Oranges — 3 Purples — 2 Turncoats.
Yeah, Sarah and Morgan were having a good time at TC.
I’m still amazed after watching all these years of Survival that someone can walk up to another player and say “LJ said he wanted to vote you out” and that person believe it 100%.
Yeh Exactly —
Does Woo live in a bubble??? Is Tony the only one he talks to??? How would LJ vote off anybody all by himself??? He would need Kass, Jefra, Trish AND Tony to do that. Is he really that naive??? Apparently — yes. He falls for anything — and according to the previews next week — even coconuts.
I do have to thank Tony though as this was on the precipice of being the usual most boring part of the season as the majority alliance slowly and systematically takes out the minority alliance with logical predictable surgical precision.
Tony has rescued us from that precipice with his disdain for anyone taller than he is. But where does Tony go from here — after the rest of the tall people or over to the Ponderosa???
My hat’s off to Spencer who’s got his head on straight — his stock just went up into the double digits.
Tony told his core 6 *wink*wink* that he was a cop. Did they forget this last night? Did Tony forget that he told them that? He's such a putz.
Same as you:
Ok with Spencer, Tony and Woo. They are my picks for F3 unless the girls turn on the guys.
Jefra is just there for eye candy for the guys and can be sent packing at a moment’s notice. Jefra can be the goat in the Finals.
Don’t particularly care for Kass, Tasha and Trish.
Reward challenge winners: Jeremiah, Spencer, Tony
Immunity challenge winner: Tasha
Solarrion Tribe (merged tribe - black buffs): Jefra, Jeremiah, Kass, Spencer, Tasha, Tony, Trish, Woo
Immunity Idol status: Spencer has an idol.
Jury: LJ, Morgan, Sarah

Speculation time:
Is Woo injured?
Who is next to leave?
Ok, I’ve gazed into the crystal coffee mug and the answer to your first question is very clear.
Woo is a Martial Arts instructor. And one of the very first things they teach you in Judo class is “how to take a fall” correctly. In other words, how to lessen the injury when you do fall. So.... While Woo may receive a few bumps, scrapes and bruses from his falling out of the tree, I don’t think it will be bad enough for him to be pulled from the game.
Now, who is next to leave? HMMMMMM!.... The crystal coffee mug is a little cloudy on that one. Could be Jeremiah or Spencer, or even Tony himself. I’ll have to think some more on that one and get back to you.
I don’t think a little fall from a coconut tree is going to knock Woo out of the game — even if he has to compete in challenges with his arm in a sling or on crutches.
And though Woo may be welcomed with reservations back into what’s left of the Purple alliance with Kass-Trish-Jefra, I think Tony will be personna non-grata to be used for maybe one vote and then discarded.
I even see Trish reaching across the great color divide and making a deal with Spencer to take Tony out once and for all. That would take out the loose cannon, keep the Purples still in the majority, keep the Oranges still together, AND Spencer keeps his idol for a later move.
I would likely see Tony has a good goat to go into the finals with. Most of the jury will feel animosity towards him, far more than Woo, for example. I mean, that is the end game, getting the votes from the jury, and packing the final 3 vote with as many duds as you can manage to make you look like a brilliant tactician.
Thing is, I think Kass fully recognizes this, and would likely view Tony as a far more preferable choice for F3 than Woo.
A secondary consideration is who you can stand being around. If Tony goes into full panic mode, I don’t think that discounts his value in standing to be around, Just means a bit of thought needs to be spent figuring out how to send him against your own enemies if he is in MiniSpy mode. Like normal, however, the pieces have fallen into typical array - a few strong personalities, and a whole lot of chaff to eject before everyone gets down to the final 5.
So here’s my random guess for next week.. Spencer is pressed hard enough that he pops the idol, an unknown person finds the SUPERIDOL - likely someone the producers choose such as Tony. The show makes it up to be a split between Tony and Spencer, but while Spencer pulls the idol, Tony flips and leads a charge that sends Woo home. Everyone is regretful about it, and declare a woman is going next.
I don’t think anyone really wants to chance going to the jury with Woo at their side.
There’s only room at the F3 for one goat and Kass has staked her claim to that position and will defend it with everything she has — short of grovelling at Spencer’s sandals.
The only power players left in the game are Spencer and Trish — each in control of a 3 person alliance — and Spencer doesn’t trust him and surely after this Trish doesn’t either.
Jefra is going to be a little lost puppy without LJ but Kass is going to be a bug in Trish’s ear until she agrees to get rid of Tony.
And what a great opportunity to get rid of another man who is good in challenges which is sop at this point in the game — and they still keep a numerical advantage and it may even be unanimous as the other side take pleasure in getting rid of top five Tony.
I’m guessing that Woo woke up the next morning and had an epiphany: “Wait a minute — Tony said that LJ was targetting me but then why did he vote for Spencer?” — and that’s why he is up in the coconut tree trying to get back in the good graces of what’s left of his alliance. But then again he is clueless in more ways than one.
I suspect that unless Tony gets his paws on an idol or immunity he is history. I don’t think he can talk his way out of this one.
BTW anyone interested in knowing why the title of the first episode “Hot Girl with a Grudge” was so appropos of Morgan — just look at her facial reactions to LJ as he arrives at the Ponderosa.
There are rumors that this year’s FC will be an F2 not an F3.
If it is an F2, and if Tony and Kass are the F2, who would win??
At this point, I think Kass would win. I wouldn’t like that. :(
