Episode Title Analysis

"Houdini Magic"

Referring to Russell H. attempt to get Laura of Galu on his side.

CBS Clues

The previews talk about the men protecting Shambo as long as they can, and Russell H. planting a seed in Laura's mind. It appears that Shambo has been elected the new leader of Galu.

Reward Challenge - Galu Wins, Sends Laura as Spy

The challenge appears to be a simple game of concentration, making matches of various items (this challenge was seen in Survivor Vanuatu). Based on the images of Laura chatting with Russell what looks to be like Foa Foa's camp, we are leaning toward yet another Galu victory.

Immunity Challenge - Galu Wins

Both tribes start at the shore and must race out to an outrigger. They have to maneuver it to collect some puzzle pieces by "fishing" them out of the ocean. Once all the pieces are collected, three people are allowed to work on a puzzle. Neither tribe looks to be in a huge lead over the other so it'll be close but based on our boot pick, we'll have to say that it is Galu's challenge to lose. You think having two lawyers and a doctor would beat out a fitness instructor, hairstylist and t-shirt designer, but that's why we love Survivor right?

Boot Prediction - Liz

The spoiling community has been on this lead for weeks now and I guess it is her untimely departure from the game (despite our wishes). When we last left off, she was on Russell's hit list and that never is a great sign for anyone in the game. Russell and Natalie will stick together and because both Jaison and Mick know about the hidden immunity idol, it looks like they won't be doing anything to change the direction of the game at this time. Sad to see you go, too bad you had that confrontation with Russell.
