03 Title Analysis
"Flirtation and Frustration"
Flirtation - reference to Parvati's strategy to get in
good with the guys. Frustration - Cao Boi continues to
offend his tribemates with his racially driven comments,
driving the tribe crazy, especially Brad. This could
also be frustration over the fact the racially divided
tribes are no more.
Episode
03
CBS Web Clues
After sizing up her tribe, a giddy and flirtatious
Parvati starts using the only strategy she knows: to
manipulate the men and draw them into her web.
Read above.
Jonathan quickly grows frustrated with Jessica when he
tries to talk strategy with her.
He may want to get in on alliance with Jessica if it
appears that Candice and Adam are hooked up already.
Strategy talks sometimes points to Tribal Council.
Nate shocks everyone, including himself, when he scores
big spear fishing and brings back enough food for the
entire tribe.
Becomes the hero.
An unexpected twist shocks the survivors. Will newly
formed alliances stay strong or
will they crumble?
It is likely
the tribal merge that is the twist that is shocking. The
Survivors will hold something in their hand, squeeze,
and that will reveal the tribe they are on.
Interesting enough, 2/4 of the clues are talking about
Raro, and on top of that, strategy talk may be necessary
to facilitate when you could go to Tribal Council.
Something to consider. |

Tribal Division
It
appears that the four tribes get whittled down to two (Aitu
and Raro) based
on these promo shots. Images courtesy of

New Aitu arriving to challenge (3) Cecilia hugging Jessica
and Sundra. They look like something is troubling them,
perhaps Tribal Council is that night?

Reward
& Immunity Challenge: Hot Pursuit
Projected Position:
Raro wins immunity?
It
appears that the Survivors run the same "Hot Pursuit"
challenge as did the Survivor 10 Palau castaways in Episode
3. The object of the challenge is to carry a preset amount
of weight on your backpack and run, linked with your tribe,
around and around a rope course until you 'tag' the other
tribe out. If players cannot hold the weight, they must sit
out and allocated the weight to another tribemember.
From the promos, we can see blue engaging with red,
but the struggle makes us think that maybe the challenge
isn't over, that it doesn't have the same rules as when they
did the challenge in season 10. On paper, it appears the
combined strength of Adam, Brad, JP and Nathan outpower Cao
Boi, Jonathan, Ozzy and Yul - just solely based on size. The
women on Raro also seem to have an edge over Aitu as well. We
wouldn't be surprised to see the new Raro tribe take home
this one.
New vidcaps from an online promo further supports our
prediction of a Raro win, as the Raro women are celebrating
while their men carry the weight in the challenge. Maybe
Rebecca is not happy because she may think her friend Sundra
will be targetted at Tribal Council. The Aitu tribe looks
like they are dejected in the far right image.

Possible Exile
Candidates This week, it may depend on whether the exiled person gets
to avoid Tribal Council. If it is just the traditional kind
of exile, look for Yul, Nate/JP to get sent to exile.
However, because this episode will be busy busy, there may
not even be a person sent there. We are leaning toward that
possibility. |
Possible Boot
Candidates
With the last two boots being men (the first time this has
ever occurred on a Survivor), we have a gut feeling a lady
is going home this week. |

 |
Sue her for the chickens, she still hasn't repaid what she
cost the tribe. But even moreso, perhaps her wishy washy
nature regarding alliances (when Jonathan discusses to her)
makes her too untrustworthy to keep. |
 |
She's the odd woman out of the tribe, being the only Hiki
member to join Aitu. This could spell her doom but she will
probably fly under the radar for awhile. |

If
he's the way he was before with Puka, you can expect lots of
people, including Becky and Yul, to write his name down at
Tribal Council. What he has going for him is this
'Rupert'/'Kathy' like edit. |
