The reward challenge brings rewards to a few and a trip to Exile Island to Candice. Yul admits to all that he has the immunity idol - was he asked, NO, he volunteered the information, why? The Immunity challenge involves math and Adam still wins - WOW! Back at camp the claws come out and Candice and Jonathan have words. The fighting continues at tribal council in front of Jeff and the jury to hear. Was Yul the UN or the puppet master? In the end the Aitu tribe remains strong and Candice is voted out.

Topics:

• Jury tampering
• Impact of Yul revealing the hidden immunity idol (this turns into a discussion of who are the best Survivors and is Yul the greatest or should the credit be with Aitu)

Happy Thanxgiving folks.

Personally, we’re thankful someone got the proverbial turkey ax.

And, we’re thankful for wine tonight.

Let’s get this out of the way (I think we’ll need it): The views expressed on this audio program are merely our opinions and not based on any real facts or research.

Due to Thanksgiving day family obligations, we were not able to do BuddyTV at BuddyTV.com this week, but will be there next week at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Aitu seems to be one of the smartest tribes on Survivor and Raro seems to be — well — not the smartest. With only four people and a tribal merge, Yul and team were able to level the playing field — and the fulcrum was Jonathan.

Our topics for this show are:

• Survivor and alcohol: do they mix?
• Can what you say at tribal council change your chances of getting voted out?

Predictions

The message in the bottle sent another tribe mate out to sea.

Jonathan becomes the tribe’s hunter, fisher and gatherer in hopes to become invaluable to the tribe. However, even without all the sustance provided by Jonathan, Raro still can’t follow the compass and dig up the boxes fast enough to win Reward. 1, 2, 3 Candice wins another trip to Exile - see ya! Aitu’s reward of a special tribal feast turns out to be extremely cool.

The immunity challenge proves too tough again for Raro and Aitu wins before Raro has even taken the puzzle clues from their bags. Aitu takes the immunity idol back to camp and Raro takes the special bottle containing a secret note.

At tribal council the team votes out Rebecca as weakest link to the tribe but then are shocked to find that the message in the bottle is to vote another out. Adam and Candice’s (Dumb and Dumber) alliance proves strong and Jenny is the second person out.

Topics:

• Could have, would have - it’s all spoiled milk now.
• The effect of team support and encouragement

WOW new challenges and new tribes this week. Candice and Jonathan are the mutineers that jump ship and join Raro. Meanwhile, Aitu may be weak in the numbers but they are strong in the challenges and win both reward and immunity this week. Discussion over who is loyal to Raro leads them to vote off Brad. And, we see that the jury seating has begun.

Topics:

• Traders never prosper. Mutineers are the first people to die.
• Is it better to be open or closed about your feeings in Survivor?

Catalog shopping for peanut butter and potatoes - will the fun never cease for the Survivors? Aitu enjoys peanut butter while Raro enjoys blaming Brad for not electing to swim - hmmm, wouldn’t a more appropriate thing be to blame Rebecca for her performance in the challenge? A close challenge for immunity but Jenny turns out to be a puzzle master and Raro wins! Drama at Aitu’s camp - or perceived drama built up by the show editors - as to who should be voted out. In the end Jessica, aka Flicka, is sent home (to wash her hair). You were fun Flicka.

Topics:

• What does it mean if you sit out of a challenge or opt to participate in the “wrong” part of a challenge?
• Self-awareness. The missing factor in Survivor
