                    Daddo: "We have a Pirate's Court at the end of the day...
                    where three pirates are marked with a black spot by the captain.
                    And they have to defend themselves." 
                                            
                    Not having seen the show yet, it's not clear how strategy
                    will go with these picks. Since teams are randomly assigned
                    before each expedition, it would make some sense to target
                    the players particularly ill-suited for pirating, since they
                    have a 50-50 chance of dragging your team down on the next
                    expedition. Then again, by the same logic, a particularly
                    strong player has the same chance of leading the opposing
                    team to the next treasure. But it's probably easier to convince
                    the remaining crew to vote off a weak, rather than a strong
                    player.  
                                         
                       With that in mind, the plethora of future
                    footage allows us to eliminate all but a few people from
                    consideration for the first elimination: Christian, Jay and
                    John. Cheryl and Azmyth (above) obviously both make it through
                    at least one Pirate's Court. All the others are shown on
                    either a different team from their Ep1 assignment, or on
                    teams with other people who are. (See below). Of those three,
                    Jay and Christian were both on the winning team. While that
                    doesn't exempt them from consideration, you'd think if they
                    contributed at all, that would make it harder for their teammates
                    to oust them. So the most likely candidate for dismissal
                    would appear to be John, the scientist/ Chippendale dancer.

                    course, all of this still fails to address the presence of
                    a third team color, white, in CBS's own ads (at right). From
                    a Survivor perspective, there are two possibilities: a late-game,
                    merged single team, or (ick) a team of previously-booted
                    players, trying to get back in the game. We'd prefer to think
                    the former, but you never know (unless someone has a sourced
                    spoiler). Stay tuned to find out.                     
                       So who's there on Team White? From left
                    to right in the picture, we see Christian, Alexis, Joy (in
                    the back), Joe Don/J.D. and either Sean or Jay (looks like
                  Sean, but dressed like Jay). Plus at least one other person
                  (barely visible) in the front of the boat.
