I've got the hinkies that James wins IC (which apparently so did our GUT writer this week). In one of the promos they actually had Parvati or someoen saying that James should go. He is not going to make nice so I'm guessing he's the one in their heads to boot but then he wins IC and Jason goes since he, unlike Erik, is a clear individual immunity threat. So I'm (gulp!) about to go change my fantasy pick ... I hope I don't screw up our team more than I already have all...

James looks pretty buff in that picture at the IC

The OutFrontGirl Theory of old is still in play, methinks...This theory named at SBlows for one of its' legendary posters is that the current bootee is pictured prominently in the week's promos, but not pictured or depicted as the one in danger...Whomever is just sort of THERE...As James' is in all these IC photos. Also we do have Jason(tiptoeing through a lily pad-like water challenge) and Eric (swimming furiously). These are part of their title sequences and may not be from this...

I find it interesting that all the IC photos are James.

CBS press photo
James has two green boards at this point. He has his regular merge buff, but doesn't appear to have any other sort of team identifier.
In the background are hanging bags of light blue and of orange ?disks. There are two other vertical poles, which might have held hanging bags of other colors, or perhaps still do hold them, just high out of reach.
There's only one red wheel on the side of the little platform. A crank? Another wheel still to come?

Whatever Ozzy said about his shoulder about the challenge on why he gave up, if it's the truth or just his ego, it's not in our control anymore.

Of course Ozzy would say that after giving up. He has way too much of an ego to say he gave up for food. So, he blamed it on his shoulders.

O.K. Apologies for being hard on Ozzy. I should remember that editing is involved here and they have probably worked overtime to hype up the entitlement and arrogance and haven't shown the other side of his character. I suppose he also thought that since he had the HII ... oh but then he didnt' bring it to TC.

I think Erik gave up because he thinks he's in with Ozzy's alliance so this week should be interesting. Wonder if he...

Amanda hung in there for a long time. DIdn't she do the same thing in China when everyone else in her group gave up for food?

Yeah, I was thinking about that, too. Amanda was probably as safe as anyone out there last week. From her allies, Cirie didn't try, James blew it, and Ozzy was long gone by the time she got ready to quit. I don't think she intentionally was the only one to bother to compete in China, I think she was more than a little annoyed at...

Jason seems like an obvious winner. Maybe Erik or Parvati.

Thank you for the vid-caps, birdlady...I just seen an commercial on CBS right before CSI started, Something about, "Welcome to Cut-Throat Island" Survivor, all new Thursday...But anyway,...I think that you are right about the Build your own steps thing...And I do wonder how that will affect James' team, now that he has knocked off one of his steps?

True game players always play, they don't give up immunity even if they think they are safe.

this would be an interesting challenge to watch. This challenge is all about balance and endurance. If Ozzy was still here, he would win it, but im thinking someone who has good balance would win (Jason, a female)

If there were a green team and an orange team, then there would have to be a purple team, too, right? Have they ever done an immunity challenge that started with teams, then the winners had to compete amongst themselves for individual immunity?

I can't figure exactly how it would work, but I think it would be interesting if the boards were an individual challenge, but with ad hoc teams. Like, no one person had enough boards to get across by themselves.

I think that Jason pic is from the challenge earlier in the season where they ran across lily pads....his back pocket isn't torn.

This challenge is the move-the-boards-to-make-your-steps one. The orange team person has apparently already made it across since their boards are both there and there's no one in sight. Looks like James makes a big leap and sends the green board flying. Wonder what that does for the person to go after him....
