Speculation, but... I can see the one making the deal being Jason (I'm almost certain about that). Then again in the previews so far we can see Ozzy being in pain, and a moment later smiling and enjoying. After that we see Alexis looking like she's "questioning" something. I think it's misdirection, because Alexis doesn't look like she's in pain at all, so that must have been earlier in the challenge. We also see Jason raising hand (Yet again we don't see anybody on his sides. One thing is sure, Jason is not sitting out the challenge (http://resources.survivorphoenix.com/graphics/gallery/S16E10/S16E10_IC_LineUp). The CBS website teasers tell us, that somebody sacrifices immunity to stay in the game (I'm supposing that is long range thinking). Then again it doesn't necessarily mean, that somebody gave individual immunity away. Another thing in the website teasers, that gives us a glimpse what will happen in the upcoming episode: It says, that the person who sacrifices immunity gets everybodys promises of keeping him in the game. That leads me to the conclusion, that the sacrificing can't be just that Jason gave the individual immunity necklace to Ozzy (That ain't a group decision, and I don't think it would benefit the others at all). I have read through this thread, and there are many interesting ideas: Ozzy referencing to himself being the devil ("One of the dumbest moves in Survivor history." he says, I wouldn't think he is referring to trusting himself, after all in the pre season promo videos he said, that if he gave his word, he could be trusted.), Jason promising to sit out every single immunity challenge in the future (I don't think he would promise something like that because of his competitive nature, after all he wants to participate in the challenges. This to me is particularly interesting, because nobody has ever tried that {As far as i know}, so it would be a very interesting play, and I would like to see how that would play out.), then we got the hidden immunity idol ideas. Personally i don't think the idol comes to play in the next ep (More like ep 12.)

So I don't personally think any of the ideas mentioned above will come to play (Atleast for the time being.). But still the short promo, which shows Ozzy smiling all of the sudden raises some beliefs in me. Is it just him winning immunity (Because he is still in the challenge, and I think that he would never give II away, nor quit a challenge.)? Something will happen, and that something most certainly includes Jason. Maybe Jason and Ozzy are again the final two left in a challenge, and all of the sudden Jason proposes a deal to Ozzy, that he will quit the challenge, if Ozzy doesn't vote for him (If this happens, the best moment for Jason to do it would be about when Ozzy can't do it anymore, then Jason {Probably in pain too} plays all cool, and tries to look like he is not being hurt at all {In reality he would be} and proposes a deal and Ozzy agrees, I think Ozzy wouldn't accept such a deal, if he could do it much longer {The challenge}.). But how would the previously mentioned scenario include all of the other tribe mates? Hmm... Got some ideas?

In one of the previews Jason says: "It could be my saving grace." I think that is enough proof to indicate, that Jason is the one, who starts bargaining. One thing. Is the challenge purely about concentration and steadiness, or about strenght? (I'm still yet to see the previous seasons 3 and 8, that also had the challenge.) If it is about strenght, then I could easily see James win it (If he doesn't screw up.), otherwise it would likely be Ozzy or Jason that wins the challenge.

I don't think the biggest blunder in Survivor history happens this episode. It is most likely to include the HII.

That is for the IC.

Then about RC:

Two teams of four, one person "odd man out" Winner: Ozzy's team. (Losers: Cirie, Parvati, Natalie, Alexis.) Winners: 4 of these five people: Ozzy, Jason, Amanda, Erik, James. Suspecting from, that one is odd man out, and the another four are in camp plotting against Ozzy.

But why do they say, "that this is a prime opportunity to get rid of Ozzy and the idol."? Before immunity challenge? That makes me think, that they have some plan to screw the challenges on Ozzy's part, and vote him out. The other option is that we are being misdirected, and the conversation takes place after the immunity challenge. Or neither of those two previously mentioned. Maybe that is were the deal reflects, the "alliance of four + Erik" would want to vote out somebody else than Jason (Because of what he had said.), and Parvati would not go in with it, and teamed with the other alliance + the swing vote Cirie, and they all voted for Jason, and he eventually got booted.

Whatever happens, I think that Ozzy will be wearing the necklace when they arrive at tribal council, and that Jason is booted. Parvati would be the one to betray her alliance.

That would be my first post on these forums.

Interesting spec but how would that be "a Tribal Council you won't want to miss!"? (which they didn't even say for the last one, even with Probst's love of humiliating women with fake idols). The idol, the blunder or both need to come into play. Or at least everyone stands to salute as Jason leaves. Someone betraying an alliance isn't enough.

Well on some of tv guides articles/interviews Jeff Probst has said, that your jaws will drop at least twice, and personally speaking my jaws didn't drop when i saw the last TC. (After all it was just Eliza playing a fake hidden immunity idol (I mean she clearly knew that it was a fake, and in the interviews she has said, that she played the idol, because she wanted to reveal that Ozzy had the idol.) That leaves me thinking that there will be at least two more blunders coming. One next episode, and one probably when Ozzy gets booted (If he even gets booted.). So my speculation is (Authors note: I'm spoiler free, though I'm here on the spoiler forum, and I want to remain that way, and enjoy watching rest of the season.) that next time Jason wins immunity passes it to Ozzy, thus Ozzy and others promising that he'll be safe. Parvati starts working with Alexis, Natalie, Cirie, and manages to somehow sway Amanda to her side, and the previously mentioned players all vote Jason, who is no longer protected by immunity, and thus leaving.

So the votes might go like this:

Ozzy: Cirie
James: Cirie
Erik: Cirie
Jason: Cirie

Above speculated vote (Cirie) would be because Ozzy, James, Erik would probably vote as a whole, and I could see Jason following them. James would not vote Parvati, Ozzy would not vote Amanda, nor Alexis, and they don't see Natalie as a threat. The only one left would be Cirie.

Natalie: Jason
Alexis: Jason
Parvati: Jason
Cirie: Jason
Amanda: Jason

If this would happen, it would be a turning point in the game. Both James and Ozzy noticing, that their allies won't work with them anymore. Then it would be Ozzy, James, Erik vs Natalie, Alexis, Cirie, Amanda, Parvati. I could see Ozzy winning the next two IIC's (Mainly because Jason is gone, after all he was Ozzy's competition), thus resulting in first Erik's and after James' departure. This would be the time for the second blunder (I'm starting to think, that the biggest blunder is indeed next week.) I could see Ozzy losing one more of the challenges (Probably one of the challenges, where you need luck, a couple of these in Survivor: Fiji, and I do not mean that Ozzy loses a puzzle challenge, after all he also dominated those challenges on Cook Islands.), after this all of the remaining women would turn on him (Including Amanda, though I think that if Amanda turns on Ozzy next week, she would still work with hin during the next two eps, as Ozzy wins immunity. Together with Erik and James, they would try to get Parvati out. Meaning that James would turn on Parvati after her betraying him next week.). This could somehow result in a second blunder (I don't believe that happens, at that point Ozzy doesn't probably care whether Amanda stays or not.). Ozzy keeps his idol plays it in the TC (This would be episode 13.). Amanda gets booted, Ozzy makes it further, and easily wins the finale's challenges (Usually obstacle courses, and endurance challenges.). In episode 14's first tribal council Cirie is an unanimous boot. Ozzy enjoys another immunity win, and eventually his vote is the one to decide Parvati's faith (I think that when Natalie, and Alexis has to choose to vote for either each other or Parvati, they'll vote Parvati. Ozzy votes Alexis, because Parvati has made so many enemies, that Ozzy could easily beat her in the final voting. Also, Ozzy doesn't see Natalie as threat, so he saves her. Parvati votes Alexis, resulting in a tie revote. The votes cast, and the result is a tie-breaker. Parvati wins the tie-breaker.

The next episodes blunder is Jason giving away the individual immunity necklace, and there is no more blunders to come. Final three: Natalie, Parvati, Ozzy.


That is my Spoiler Free take on the season.
