Analysis of Pictures from
http://www.londyscreations.com/survivornetwork/spoilers.aspNotice the pieces out in the water (paddles/parts of the boat most likely)
The tribes get ready to dive in for the parts. Notice the leaf-shaped boats and Jeffy Probst standing on the blue platform Rupert dives and unhooks pieces.
Mogo, boat complete, heads to shore.
Notice that Jeff is in background.
Also check out that Colby and Shii Ann do not appear to have oars.
Amber (already at shore) yells "let's go Rob!" Where is Rob? OH! Rob is in the woods (left) retrieving two paddles (thanks to Sam Buru on MESS for pointing out that he has two).
Ethan (right) doesn't look like he has anything for Mogo Mogo. Remember, retrieving items from the woods during ht middle of a challenge is common. It happened it Survivor 1 (Gervase), Survivor 4 (Maramuu women/Pascal won that one), Survivor 7 (Morgan won thanks to Ryan O).
Also, Trix on EZ's MESS Hall makes a good point that Rob has excelled in the challenge so far, and he might beat Ethan in a race through the woods. Also, Ethan could be the one who "blows the challenge" for Mogo Mogo.
Above, we see the tribes in the last leg of the challenge. Everyone has oars. They race back to the podium where Jeff is at, and Chapera looks like it has a slight lead.
The promo calls it "Too close to call." Notice Colby standing slightly.
Colby standing as the tribes are neck-and-neck. Chapera celebrates.
Rob is glowing, but this is likely before the challenge (notice his hat on).
Jerri stops being a b**ch for just a moment to be somber.
Since the challenge is a "photo finish," we have to trust positive vidcaps for Chapera, not-so-positive for Mogo Mogo and the fact that all the "drama" is going on at Mogo Mogo, that Chapera wins reward and immunity.
BOOT: Ethan? Colby? Jerri?
Mogo Mogo is probably going to tribal council. We think Ethan, Colby and Jerri are all candidates as pre-jury boots. The problem? Figuring out the order they go!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Already pegged for a previous boot was ETHAN. They brought him to Mogo Mogo to get rid of him. He is a past winner, a challenge threat and can't fish at all. Can Lex and Colby save him another week? Then there's Jeff Varner's spoiler about Ethan being a prima donna: "I've been told to look for a major pissy diva temper tantrum thrown by Africa winner Ethan Zohn. I'm told he will be very embarrassed at his behavior when America sees it."
We haven't seen this tantrum yet, right?
Ethan also might be the one who blows the challenge for Mogo Mogo as he is running through the woods. "Sorry, I blew it!" is the title of the episode.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then again, COLBY has also been targeted by the women of the tribe as being a power player (AKA: prime for booting). Shii Ann, Kathy and Jerri almost voted him out instead of Richard. The only thing that saved the Colbster was Lex and Kathy's alliance, which was showed on my Ep. 5 Insider Transcript. It looks like Kathy and Lex are controlling both sides of Mogo Mogo. And they have already chosen NOT to vote out Colby once.
But, in his post-boot chat and radio interviews, Richard makes several hints that Colby is a pre-merge boot. Richard says Mogo Mogo made "a big mistake" by voting him off and included Colby as one person who won't win. He also said nice things about Colby, hinting they spent some time together at Loser Lodge.

JERRI is being played up in the previews. "Why does the tribe hate her?" Since CBS is playing it up so much, we doubt she's the one who goes. But if everyone hates her that much, she could go. On the flip side, her conversation with Lex last week shows a small friendship there. And since Lex is one of the power players, and Jerri is not a threat at all, we think she sticks around for another episode or two. SHII ANN is also a possibility. She's really useless and can cause trouble.
