Samoa episode 3 detailed boot spoilers/ speculation |
 Jeff
Probst says in the post-Ep2 preview of
Ep3 that "Russell [H]'s mind games continue... Jaison recruits
an army to fight him" [shows Jaison talking to Mick, Mick
assuring the camera he's on board, and Natalie attempting to
recruit Ashley with Jaison present]. TV Guide adds the
following: "Jaison
attempts to gather support to oppose Russell, who struggles to
maintain power at Foa Foa."
We were initially skeptical that the preview's
target of Jaison's efforts was actually Russell, since Ben makes
a lot more sense, and the segment following the Ep2 RC/IC showed
Jaison reacting quite negatively to Ben's "outlaw" antics.
But TV
Guide puts those suspicions to rest... well,
sort of.
It makes no sense for Jaison to directly target Russell,
since he knows Russell has the hidden immunity idol. And a blindside
would only work if he can completely trust his recruits not to
leak their plans, which seems fairly prone to failure. Instead,
Jaison's best move is to take out one of Russell's closest allies,
which from Ep2 appeared to be Ben and Liz, neither of whom are
shown in Jaison's recruiting drive. (Update: And in the title
of CBS's press
release, it says "Russell struggles to maintain his control
as the tribe turns on one of his allies"). Still, even with the
votes of Natalie and Mick, however, Jaison's still a vote short
of a majority. Ashley
would thus be the swing vote.
Regardless,
there's no real evidence that Foa Foa returns to tribal council
this episode, at least not yet. But the idea that Jaison would directly
target Russell seems a bit far-fetched, at least in this episode.
Update: Despite TV
Guide's assertions
to the contrary, missyae states
rather unequivocally that Jaison is actually taking on Ben. We'd
guess the CBS clue ("A clever lie turns a tribe against
one of its most harmless members") is about one of the women
on the tribe (Natalie or Ashley), and Jaison's counter-offensive
protects her, while targeting Ben. Ashley appears
to be safe this week, and we'd be surprised if they allowed Natalie
to be booted before letting her say something, especially since
her only role so far has been as "the even dumber long-haired
blonde."
So
we think Ben is the most likely Foa Foa to be
booted, assuming they are the tribe that heads to tribal council
this episode. But we can't rule out Liz or Natalie completely.
