Herc's Seen SURVIVOR 12.2?? 'Breakdown'!! Sweeps Day 8!!
CBS forwarded the second episode of the 12th season of “Survivor” – but the tape stops the second Jeff Probst tells the tribal council this: “To me this tribe seems a little all over the map. I’m curious to see how it plays out. It is time to vote.”
“Obviously,” the publicist tells us, “we ask your discretion in not revealing pivotal moments in the show which will take viewers by surprise.”
So. A few hints:
* Much of the episode focuses on Shane Powers, the three-pack-a-day smoker who quit cigarettes cold turkey to join the show. Shane keeps saying he wants to quit the game because he feels bad about missing his kid’s Little League game; the more he says this, the more certain viewers may become that what Shane really misses is that sweet, sweet nicotine.
* Much focus also falls upon leaf-fearing registered nurse Cirie Fields, who will shed tears before episode’s conclusion.
* The two cast members who get the least screen time this week are likely attorney Bobby Mason, 32, and retail leasing exec Ruth Marie Williams, 48. One belongs to the tribe that wins immunity this week; the other does not.
* This week’s exile to Exile island is chosen in a substantially different manner than was last weeks’. If last week’s exile, Misty Giles, or this week’s exile has found the immunity idol, such a discovery is not revealed to viewers.
* As publicized, a schoolyard pick reshuffles the four mini-tribes into two larger tribes, dubbed LaMina (which makes its home at the older men’s camp) and Cassaya (which makes its home at the older women’s camp).
* One tribe winds up skewing considerably younger than the other. LaMina gets three contestants older than 46. Cassaya’s oldest member is 35.
* The reward challenge involves an obstacle course and 12 enormous wooden snakes. The reward: fishing gear.
* Once the two tribes of seven get to their respective camps, four-person alliances are formed almost immediately. At LaMina, the three “outsiders” are kept largely in the dark about the four-person alliance. At Cassaya, one alliance member proves unafraid to publicize his alliance to the tribe’s three outsiders.
* One alliance of four is all male; the other is evenly split between genders.
* The immunity challenge is one of the series’ better. Each team is assigned a leaky rowboat tethered to a massive anchor. Some of the team members have to keep bailing water out of their boat with small buckets while others have to dive to the ocean floor to drag their anchor (and their boat) to shore.
8 p.m. Thursday. CBS.
