Episode
2: "Who's Zooming Whom?" (Air date: October 18, 2001; filmed July 14-16,
2001) We picked: Boran wins X RC, X IC; X Brandon gets voted off. Boy, did we kick ass this week, or what? (The correct answers were, of course: Samburu, Samburu, Jessie). Here's our sorry attempt at logic. We will, in our defense, note that two straight episodes have had grossly misleading titles. Reward challenge
Immunity challenge
Analysis: The title of the show, as the previews suggest, comes from Silas' attempt to align himself with both the Samburu elders (Carl, Frank, Teresa, Linda) and the Mallrats (Lindsey, KimP, Brandon). We suspect the old guys are playing him simply to pick the kids off, one by one, until he's the last one, which should take them past the merge, where they oust him. As Snewser on Votedoff.tv has pointed out, the preview shots showing Samburu in their IC clothes (not at the challenge) show them looking quite unhappy. This is where all of Silas' conspiratorial conversations with Carl, Frank and Lindsey (separately) are shown - which Snewser concludes suggests Samburu lost the IC. We agree. So who goes? It depends how Silas votes. KimP, Lindsey and Brandon will vote together for an oldster, probably Frank. Meanwhile, Frank, Carl, Teresa and Linda will target either Brandon or Lindsey. Lindsey appears to see Silas and Frank whispering to each other, then rushes over to get Silas to assure her they're "going to the end together." If Frank sees this, they will wisely pick Brandon, who Silas has shown no affiliation with. We had previously considered Silas's chin stubble length in the US magazine picture with him lying next to Lindsey as evidence that Lindsey sticks around, but: (1) Zap2It has a picture that appears to show Teresa braiding Lindsey's hair (and she does not have braids in any Ep.2 pictures), and (2) further vidcaps show Silas with just as much stubble on day 5 as in the US picture. Since we haven't seen Lindsey in her blue bikini (in the US picture), that may have been day 6. That suggests Brandon may be the one to go. Frankly, we were on the fence for a long time about Brandon vs. Lindsey, but Brandon does appear to be the weakest member of Samburu. KimP should stick around because, well, she got them fire. And Lindsey, for all her charm, is one of the stronger people on the tribe. |
