some info from survivorphoenix:
The two teams should break down as follows:
Alex, Dre, Michelle, Mookie and Stacy
Boo, Cassandra, Earl, Edgardo and Yau-Man
The challenge itself is designed to test communication and problem-solving. The players will need to retrieve all the bags containing puzzle pieces and then solve the puzzle. Look for the challenge star to have a big impact once again.

The winning tribe enjoys a meal.
The losing tribe leaves for Tribal Council immediately. We have heard that the players might even be blindfolded to prevent any deliberation on the way to Tribal Council.

I changed my answer to NONE as per this info.  I read it to mean the losers leave WHILE the winners eat!  It doesn't say the losers wait for the winners to join them for TC,  OR that the winners eat and then join the losers at TC!  :angel:  :hugs:  :hugs:

I'm a bit confused about the word "initial".  Why use that word unless there's more than one balloting?  And I've read nothing which even hints that there would be more than one balloting (voting).  Right?  
You're right puddin, the questions are never clear!  It's like the author of the questions is purposely trying to confuse us!  (:;)
Right?  :lol:

How many Survivor.s will have immunity going into tribal council this week? (To be clear, Immunity means that no one will be allowed to cast a vote for that Survivor during the initial balloting)

My interpretation - How many Survivors will have immunity - going into tribal council  = at the beginning of TC.   At the beginning of TC the 5 that won the challenge are immune even though they aren't at TC.

If it had said - How many Survivors going to TC will have immunity? Then I would have thought none. 

Not that it matters how we interpret it - I agree with puddin and Ruday  :crazy about this even if I go with 5 instead of none.

I made my picks just now.  Thanks, puddin, s1, and Ruday.   :hugs:

Did anyone else get a 'Nag Notice' in their e-mail last night to make their picks?  I've never gotten that before. ???
  Mark, if you'd like to get the notice:

See, I was considering that too, b/c now they are MERGED and there are TEN in ONE tribe. Even tho Survivor Phoenix called them "the winning tribe" and "the losing tribe"...technically, they are two TEAMS WithIn the Merged TRIBE of TEN!

Therefore, s1, you just might be right!  However it turns out...like you said...it doesn't matter.  It's just crazy :crazy for the questions to be so vague. 

Looking on the bright side...one thing's for sure...stuff like this keeps our brains from turning to mush and keeps us on our toes!  Plus, it provides great camaraderie!  I value that above all, no matter how it all pans out!  :luvya:  :hugs:  :hearts:  :happy:

All looks good but did they argue or no? They disagreed about telling Dreamz so who the heck knows?

Do Mookie, Alex, Edgardo have a disagreement at any time during this episode over the strategy on how to use their immunity idol? (25 points)

You're welcome, Mark.  :luvya: Glad you got your questions locked in JIT.  :tup:

I was changing answers at the last minute, and double-checking Lancers/other games.  I thought I had already done Brads, but NOT!  Got it done within 2 min of the deadline. :groan: Oh well...if I missed that one, no biggie.  It's not my fave anyway.  Hey, I see you're still doing Spoiler Island.  It's just you n' me for team rff.

Yeah, I saved all my Survivor Games as bookmarks, and thats the only way I remember to lock in my picks for Spolier Island and Brad's.

From what I remember, Ruday, you're beating me in Spolier Island.  I wish more people would play...

 :lol: yeah, only by 1000 pts, Mark!  We would be even-steven, but each of us forgot to play one week...then i think you started in Wk 2?

Spoiler Island was really a popular game for RFF gamers until several years ago...then the interest fizzled out.  Not sure why, unless it was b/c there were other more challenging games.  This season is the first I've played it for 2-3 yrs.

Btw...good deal that FS posted the new questions one day earlier than usual! :o Shock of shocks! Now if they'd just get their  act together and do everything on the same day each week, AND within a reasonable time from the previous Thursday's show! 

Ideally,
  • Results need to be posted on Friday.
  • New Questions need to be posted on Friday or early Monday.

Is that too much to expect? 

Do any of you read and/or post at the Fantasy Survivor forum?  They have two forums, one for the site and one for the game.  The links for them are just below where you sign in for the game.  I was thinking maybe we should post our suggestions there.  Admin Artie reads it.  I've read a few posts by him...where he's answering gamers' questions. 

Remember the "school yard pick" issue?  That was discussed there briefly. 

There's a gal Karri who seems to be in charge too, but not sure of her status at FS.  Maybe she's in training to post the game stuff?  ???

It might help them improve if we wandered over there to post our thoughts/suggestions about the unpredictable & untimely manner in which they conduct their game.

Ya know, if they have valid reasons for not being on time, they should just tell everyone.  (not necessarily the reason(s), but just that they do have good reasons.)  If their attitude is that we can take it or leave it, well...that's reason enough to leave it. (AFTER this season.)
Feedback anyone?  :waves:

The tribes merged at 10.  At the IC 2 teams of 5 competed.  1 team of 5 won immunity and received a reward also.  They didn't have to go to TC but they did win immunity.

s1, you were right!  I kept tossing it around...going back/forth & finally picked None. Then during & after the show, it dawned on me:
Since the team of 5 won immunity, that made them immune, period.  My PICKS were what really clinched it for me, 
Earl, Yau-Man, Cassandra... "Is immune from vote". That spoke for itself and I stumbled right over it.  :groan:

Thing is, what kept throwing me back to finally guessing NONE, was the wording of the question...with that dang word INITIAL in it!!  I still don't understand why/what that word had anything to do with anything!!  :groan: (:;)

Ruday, I think I finally figured out the word initial in the question.  There are a bunch of ifs in this theory - If the immunity idol was played at TC and then if there was either a tie for second most votes or a tie for voted out and the II didn't change the outcome then if they voted again this would make the player of the II immune from the second vote but not immune from being voted for the first time or "the initial vote" at TC.  Did that make sense to anybody besides me ???

  :lol: s1, you're a brave one to tackle it!  Great insight.
 I wouldn't have thunk all that, no way!   

Yup, there's a lot of IF's in that scenario, yet in all reality, it could've happened as you say.
So you think the writer at FS was thinking all that?
(as a JIC scenario?)

Whatever, great job s1!  :tup:
