Episode
descriptions
|
| CBS: Shocked
by Jeanne's departure, Christy seeks answers from the tribe
as to why they spared her. |
| Alex and Shawna's
budding relationship grows to new levels, but Matthew's interest
in her develops as well, as he makes a play for Shawna's affection.
|
| Dave's strategy
takes a tailspin when he learns Butch & Roger have their
own ideas about who should stay and who should go. |
| One Survivor's
performance at a Reward Challenge has an enormous impact on
a tribemate, who calls it the "defining moment" of their life. |
|
| REWARD CHALLENGE/ Log rolling - Tambaqui
wins |
|
CBS's web
bullets seem to indicate a Tambaqui win here, since we see
Butch commenting on Christy's smile being something he'll
remember for the rest of life. A defining moment, you might
say. Which seems best suited to this challenge, since it
highlights individual performances. Matthew seems to be
doing well in this challenge in the web promo - rolling Roger
off the log, and thumping his chest as Deena cheers, but
it's hard to imagine Butch being so excited about Christy
being happy if they lost. Furthermore, the shot of Tambaqui
lined up and clapping at this challenge was taken when they
were all wet, so it must have been during or after the challenge.
Christy is, in fact, dancing there. Together, it seems quite
likely that Tambaqui wins the RC.

| IMMUNITY CHALLENGE/ Meat pinata eating -
Tambaqui wins again |
Not
much mystery here this week. The shenanigans in Jaburu are
all over the previews, so it's not shocking that the previews
show what looks like a dejected Jaburu tribe after this challenge.
The challenge itself appears to involve each tribe bobbing
for a slab of meat hanging from a hook above them. Tambaqui's
approach looks sound: smother the meat to prevent it moving,
then pass it off, mouth-to-mouth. But hey, at least we get
to see Deena getting smacked in the face by the swinging meat.
What's next, pie fights? Regardless, looks like an easy call
of Tambaqui wins.

BOOT/ ALEX Shawna |
|
Here we
go again... Alex looks vulnerable this week, from
multiple fronts. First, Deena needs to boot either Alex or
Shawna to regain control of her tribe's alpha female status.
Given that the women are, thanks to Heidi, now at best tied
at the merge, the smart move is to ditch Alex. Unless she
really thinks Shawna is that unreliable. Adding weight to
this supposition is:
- The BostonGuy thread on EZ, in which he predicted
an Alex departure in Ep5 or Ep6, via Rob's treacherous alliance
with Heidi or Jenna, post-switch.
- Rob's statement in the Yahoo! Platinum footage from Ep4,
in which he felt vulnerable, and worried that Alex, Dave,
Butch and Roger were tight, and that he and Matthew were
next on the block. Now would be the time for those two to
team up and take out the threat.
- The "distraught" person featured in the TV Guide episode 7 preview makes the most sense
to be a newly Alex-free Shawna.
- A tip to the True Dork Times suggests Alex got booted
pre-jury. So it's either this week or next. We picked this
week, except...
Snewser says it's SHAWNA, and
he is, of course, right.
