Sucks user "tutorial" posted this morning that Jenn's hair and clothing during the scene where they are marching to tribal council did not match that in the tribal council itself. Below are two frames from the Episode 9 show verifying these conclusions.
Because the times are clearly different, and everyone from Episode 9 except Coby (now booted) is accounted for in Scene 1, it must therefore actually be from Episode 10 (save [1] the theoretical possibility that nobody is eliminated in E10, which I can say is false anyhow, or [2] really tricky digital manipulation).
If you can't see what I'm talking about in the above pics, the animation below will help you see it even more clearly -- in addition to Tom wearing the actual Immunity Necklace around his neck.
Animation: Walk to TC HERE at SNN So... how and why did this happen?
One theory is that it was a slip up. Like someone labeled the tape incorrectly, or the editor simply wasn't aware or didn't care either way when he decided to insert future footage into the current episode? That doesn't exactly pass the straight face test.
Mangling the purity of the reality timeline has happened many times before, starting in Season 1. See for example
Evidence Rotu Had a Tribal Council from Season 4. If these were in fact top secret mistakes, that seem to happen consistently, there are only so many times the producers of a show 20 million people watch would continue to allow that (but admittedly it's easy to overestimate competence).
More likely the scene above revealing Tom's future Immunity was intentional. Why? Well, aside from getting us to talk about it, one reason would be to underscore Stephenie's vulnerability in Episode 10. The powers that be ceratinly want that impression from the web preview itself:
Last week, Stephenie was rescued.... but Survivor Thursday, are her new tribemates plotting against her? blah blah blah
And then after she survives Episode 10 despite not having immunity (which will in fact play out), heighten her standing as a dark horse, and maybe even go all the way to the end!
Whatever.one I made
