Continuing with the boot order that was spoiled during the summer/early fall of 2009, this week, the Villains continue to expand their post-merge edge over the Heroes, as (as spoiled by SurvivorsUnite) this episode's boot is Amanda.

  Leaving no detail untouched, Sucks poster blackwhale also has a story to go with this boot: "As for Amanda, she goes home in a 6-3 vote, with Candice flipping to the villains as a result of her final 2 deal with Russell, and Colby, Rupert and Amanda casting their votes for Jerri for the second consecutive tribal council (yes, Jerri will be the vote queen again this season, getting at least 11 if not more votes)."

   Some support for that story was spotted by SquidProQuo at Blows, pointing out that Russell appears to be surreptitiously showing Candice a hidden idol (or hidden idol wrapped up, in one of the few shots in the ad actually from this episode, above).
