Sort of an internal coconut chop. Might be some sort of ranking, like the meal in Guatemala. If so you don't want to be on the top or bottom rung. Could involve a reward - or not. There is a Exiling and apparently luxury, thus the title is chosen per a webclue. Both Sugar and Ace would esaily chose luxury. Here's the pertinant webclues: Exile Island leaves one Castaway feeling as if it's Christmas morning. The tribes rank their members based on importance, and one Castaway is given a very rude awakening. Thanks to SP for the pics. Last Edited By: crocophile 10/03/08 3:57 AM. Edited 2 times.

Tey possibly do the numbering bit and then go directly to a challenge Last Edited By: crocophile 10/03/08 7:19 AM. Edited 1 times.

Also if Bob and Crystal are already holding their ranking plaques, i would think the ranking part is already over. So why are they just sitting there? sooo confusing lol

Then the exilee stays there through the immunity challenge (immune for one boot) and joins the tribe that lost immunity and had to boot a member. Having two episodes of 7 against 7 in a row. They're giving the exilee a lot of fruit.

Ohhh. that could be! I was assuming those were their ranking plaques but they could be just using the same things (without numbers) as their survey forms. I never thought of it that way. That would explain it. Doesn't it look like someone in the background? Jeffy perhaps, standing in the distance watchign them?

They're giving the exilee a lot of fruit. I was thinking that, too. Hopefully there is really some meat and potatoes as well, just not as photogenic. Or yams and peanuts, if they're trying to be authentic.

Wezz, I think those steps are for ranking the castaways in order of importance. Expect a tribal switch shortly after that!!! Jeff's new blog of Episode 3: http://popwatch.ew.com/po...8/10/jeff-probst-gab.html I bolded a sentence below ~ When it comes to what is good for the show, as producers, we obviously look at it much differently than the Survivors. One of our biggest concerns is hanging onto our best "characters" for as long as possible. That is ultimately what keeps you, our loyal audience, interested. (Side note: Last week, a new study was released that surveyed audience loyalty relating to their favorite television shows. The number one show…the show with the highest viewer loyalty…of every show on television, was Survivor. Seventeen seasons and you are still with us. Thank you for keeping us on the air!) We now resume our regularly scheduled blog… Unfortunately, we can't tell the Survivors who to vote for, so all we can do is cross our fingers and hope for the best. After three episodes of Survivor: Gabon, we're very happy on that front. First we lost Michelle, then Gillian, and now Paloma. Whew. Relief. Three people who will not be missed. I say that with all due respect to the aforementioned, although, as my buddy Lopez reminds me, whenever you say "with all due respect" you're actually saying without any respect at all. Yes, I am aware that if I keep up this lippy attitude for the entire season that I may end up buried to my neck in sand at the live reunion show. The problem is I write these in the afternoon, typically when I'm most hungry and therefore a bit cranky. Not an excuse, just a fact. G.C. continues to disappoint…himself. The reward challenge, which was called "Kicking and Screaming," is one of my favorites, but watching G.C. give up was even more dramatic. His tribe was screaming at him to kick it into high gear. Granted, they are living on extremely small rations of rice, so energy is in short supply, but Matty and Dan certainly had energy and they're living on the same rice. In fact, can I just be candid? I don't think it's the end result as much as the lack of effort that frustrates his tribe. G.C.'s heart just doesn't seem to be into it. I'm sure he is wondering if he should have given more effort. What continues to amaze me is the impact this game has on the human psyche. Or vice versa. I can't be sure which is right. Dalton? Sugar goes to Exile Island and we learn a bit more about who she is and what drives her. She's clearly still mourning the loss of her father, who seems to be providing beautiful inspiration. She finds the hidden immunity idol with very little difficulty. Dan, who was probably with friends last night watching this episode, must have taken a ration of it from his buddies. She found the idol in twenty minutes, dude!! She smoked you! Ah, Sugar…I told you, I think you're gonna root for her. The immunity challenge provided at least one bit of excitement -- bikinis! It's just not Survivor if, at some point, the women are not in bikinis. Am I wrong? Is that sexist? I'm just saying what people on the street tell me. Just keepin' it reeeel dawg. Why you gotta bring me down? I don't believe you critics anyway. I think you like it. Time for another question: "At this early stage of the game, who are you pulling for?" Since EW isn't giving me a space for comments, even though I take time out of my extremely hectic and oh-so-important life to write this column, go to Dalton's column and post your answer! [Editor's note: We would never deny Jeff his due comment space, so feel free to post your thoughts below. In fact, we insist!] So, Fang has turned things around with back-to-back wins. Trust me, Marcus is not happy. He's a doctor. Did you know that? He just lost to a tribe of misfits, many of whom do not even have college degrees! No way! Kota now going to feel the after effect of having to vote someone out. It's not so fun anymore. Kelly is on the outs for voting against Ace. What will she do? Come on Kelly. Think. What would Lindsay do? Kota needs to get it back together. Next week has a nice little twist conceived by our resident switch expert, Dan Munday. I love it when we come up with something new that catches them off guard. It's so hard to do that anymore, so when it happens we celebrate. We really do. We go back to base camp, pop a bottle of champagne, and slap each other on the backs. I'm kidding. There is no hitting on Survivor. For EW and Dalton Ross, Poppa J.

From that we can infer that Fang wins the Reward Challenge and picks Ace (or Sugar) from Kota to go to Exile. How will the switch come about, if at all? Just a guess here ~ They take turns picking the members of their tribes, from most important to least important. The most important stands on the top step and so on in descending order. After both tribes have picked their order, BANG! Jeff announces a switch, pairing the most important in Kota with the least important in Fang, or vice versa, and so on until the switch is complete.

That looks way bigger than Sugar's sand pit ETA~ Probst has his back to the ocean while making his "Today you're going to rank your tribe from top to bottom" speech. It's on or near the beach.
