Episode Title Analysis: She Obviously is
Post-Op!
This
likely points to a Fang win as the "She"
referred to in the title must be Olympic
champion, Crystal Cox. Perhaps a challenge
doesn't go in favor of Kota, so someone on that
tribe makes a comment on how Crystal is a bit
larger than most women.
CBS Clues
#1 -
Tension boils over as food runs dangerously low
after some Castaways over-indulge in three meals
a day. Sounds like this would point to Kota
as we know from the first two episodes, that
Fang is hardly eating. Kota at this point would
have fish, rice, beans and corn but are probably
not rationing it properly to survive.
#2 - One
Castaway is tossed around like a rag doll during
a Reward Challenge. Will her performance cause
her tribe to toss this rag doll right out of
Gabon? From the vidcaps, it looks like Paloma
is the rag doll.
#3 One
Castaway sets out to prove her strength on Exile
Island. Will emotions caused by the recent death
of a loved one prove to be an inspiration or a
hindrance to her success? As revealed in her
bio, Sugar's father recently passed away. She is
sent to Exile which means Fang gets it together
and finally wins a challenge, a reward one that
is.
Reward Challenge - Fang
 This
appears to be the same challenge as we saw in
Cook Islands. Whereas all players held onto
poles at the same time in CI, we believe that the tribes
will have heats. Each tribe will select who is holding
onto a pole within each heat, and they will also decide
who will be pulling them off as well.
From all the
previews we have seen thus far, the tribes will be
broken down like so:
Pole Holders:
Ace, Paloma, Sugar /
Dan, Ken, Susie
Grabbers:
Charlie,
Corinne/Jacquie?, Marcus, Robert, /
Crystal, GC, Matty, Randy
Our
guesses to the heats would be:
Ace
vs. Dan - 1 point for
Fang
Paloma
vs. Susie/Kenn - 1
point for Fang
Sugar
vs. Susie/Ken - Unknown
As pointed out by
Survivor Phoenix, the Fang camp looks like they
have a variety of new comfort items including
blankets, pillows and a hammock. With all of the
evidence and our predictions of the match ups,
Fang should score their first win.
Exile - Sugar
Based
on CBS Clue #3 (above).
Immunity Challenge - Fang
The
immunity challenge involves a slip and slide
component. We can see all members of Fang
participate and have seen shots of Corinne,
Jacquie, Kelly, Bob and a shirtless male as
well. After sliding down the hill, they must run
up back to their tribe and probably allow the
next person on the tribe go. We don't know the
exact details of this challenge and it probably
will be a bit more complex than just a relay.
There is also a apparatus of some sort behind
each tribe which will likely come into play.
We
will guess Fang as the victor based on our boot
prediction for the week.
Boot Prediction - Paloma
 Her
first two edits last week have been anything but
favorable and this is probably where Jeff comes
in and says that he doesn't think she has what
it takes to make it out there. Clearly, she is
the weakest woman on Kota sitting out in the
challenges or being left to work on the puzzle.
Combine that with her negative comments
regarding the "unity" of tribe (despite it
mainly being directed toward disliking Ace) and
we have your Episode 3 boot.
 His
boot is inevitable--stepping down from the post
of leader just spells out doom. Randy has
already described him as the cancer of the
tribe. The only thing he has going for him is a
possible core alliance on Fang.
He
doesn't have numbers on his side, nor does Dan,
but what Dan has, Randy lacks which is the
physical strength Fang desperately needs to
preserve on their tribe. Still, we think for the
most part he will be safe this week.
