Survivor: Cook Islands episode 3 tribal re-shuffling spoilers/ speculation
surprise!   According to CBS, the coming week's episode features: "An unexpected twist shocks the Survivors," which matches Probst and Burnett's repeated pre-Ep1 promises that the ethnically-based tribes would not last long. And the new ads show that is indeed the case. Although the new ads (at right) also suggest they cloned Sundra and disappeared Brad in the interim (which would indeed be a surprise to the octopus Brad catches).
   So with 18 left, there are two possibilities for a new alignment: two tribes of nine, or three tribes of six. We thought the latter might be a better option, because it allows an easy double boot mechanism (both IC-losing tribes) for at least the next few episodes, handily whittling down the outsized cast numbers.What did they do instead? Two tribes of nine, of course.
   Saturday's picture-in-picture promo shows the new tribes in action (caps below). The 10-second ad that followed showed the full (new) Aitutaki tribe, minus Cecilia (who presumably is leading the pack, carrying the tribal flag). So not much mystery as to who goes where.
   Also, the web promo shows the mechanism of the switching: squeezing paint pellets filled with either blue or red paint. Because if there's one thing the contestants need, it's to be a little dirtier.

New Aitutaki: Jonathan, Jessica, Candice, Cao Boi, Yul, Becky, Sundra, Cecilia, Ozzy
New Rarotonga: Adam, Parvati, Brad, Jenny, Stephannie, Nate, Rebecca, JP, Cristina
