Wasn’t “Secrets and Lies” the title of a new series on another network this season? Or have I gone bonkers again? Anyway, our episode description for tonight:
I stand by my assertions and suspicions from last episode and say that the location clue is a red herring. Somebody already knows where Zippy is (I’m saying either Rafe or Gary), but they’re not tellin’. Of course, I’m usually wrong about this stuff, so please don’t use me to win any bets.
No idea who’s going tonight. Could be anyone. I’m hoping it’s Stephenie, and if not her, then Judd, and if not him, then Jamie, and if not him, then I give up. Who do I think will go? Bobby Jon, probably, or maybe Skeletor. On the positive side, that prediction is about as accurate as my horoscopes, so perhaps there is a new career in my future.
Also, just so that there is no misunderstanding: last week, I linked to a picture of Rafe, but I accidentally called him Judd. So sorry! Rafe is the pretty redhead. Judd is … not so much. We apologize for any inconvenience this error may have caused.
The previews give the impression that Rafe is going to flip his allegiance … but we all know the previews are crap. sigh
There should be good drama this week, what with Judd getting plastered. I think Rafe is just all around embarrased to know Judd and Jamie. I understand how he feels.
I’m just hoping that Gary already found Zippy, a.k.a. WAAAAAAAAAALT!!!
Yeah. That just never going to stop being funny, I don’t think.
Nope. And for some reason I have the tune to “Ice, Ice baby” stuck in my head, and I’ve been going “Walt, Walt, Zippy” over and over and over again. Ching ching ching ching-a ching ching, Walt, Walt, Zippy!
*Alright stop, collaborate and listen
Survivor’s back with a brand new edition
Starvin’ in the jungle and chillin’
Backstabbin’ each other, tryin’ to get to the million
Howlie’s at play, yo listen to him go
Creepy little bugs in the night-vision glow
To the extreme we’re watchin’ Probst do the snuffin’
While everyone sits there dreaming of muffins
Walt, Walt, Zippy!
Earnest and Walt, Walt, Zippy!*
If the individual reward is a clue to individual immunity then that would suck. If this is the case, then it’s like there are 2 immunity challenges, and that just seems wrong to me.
Reward challenges are supposed to bolster the winner either physically(food), emotionally(family) or spiritually (trip to a beautiful locale), and then they have to take that boost and use it to get immunity at a later challenge.
I like it. I have been asking for dual immunity after the merge for several seasons; of course, I was really only asking you guys, who don’t seem to have any pull with Burnett Productions…
As I think previews are almost universally misleading, and that more often than not when the previews point at one person, then conventional strategy is going to be applied.
Well, it’s probably only part of the Reward, which means that it’s most likely going to be a lame, throwaway clue. To wit: “Zippy is hidden somewhere between 15 and 15,000 paces from camp.” No indication of direction, actual location, etc. I mean, the Editors have shown us where Zippy is hiding, but of course the Survivors can’t see where he is. For all they know, Zippy is 25 feet up in a bird’s nest in a big tall tree. Howlie could be using him for scratching, or attracting a mate. I imagine that finding Zippy would give someone a huge psychological boost at a later challenge. It’s amazing what people are capable of when they know they have nothing to lose.
Hidden somewhere in the jungle surrounding camp. Occasionally when the Survivors get bored and then run off into the jungle to look for him, one of the Editors will throw in a nice shot of someone running right past. We can see Zippy because they surround him with this sort of Golden Halo Effect, so he looks like a statue of Saint Zippy or something. Unless they were lying last week (game show editors? never!), Survivors ran past him approximately 583,000 times. They didn’t show whether anyone found him or not, but we have our suspicions (see post #1 in this thread, which conveniently include linkety-links).
So if someone finds it tonight, it’s gotta be a guy. Where is a woman going to hide it? Danni might be able to stick it under her hat, if she’s wearing it at the time.
What is it with you ladies and gay guys? It’s bad enough that we have to compete with other straight guys, but then you throw in the gay guys, too. It ain’t fair, I tell ya!
Bobby-Jon better get immunity tonight or he’s history. Maybe instead of putting out the looser’s torch, Jeff will have Ann-Lucia jump out of the jungle and shoot him/her.
