The reward challenge is a showcase for the catchers, and the green team (Alex, Dre, Earl and Stacy) benefits greatly from Dre's athletic prowess. As noted earlier, Boo and his teammates (Cassandra, Mookie and Yau-Man) will be missing out on the reward. Since the hidden Immunity Idol was played in the previous Tribal Council, a new set of clues will be given starting this week. The strategic question of who to send at this point in the game becomes somewhat moot when Boo volunteers to go to Exile Island. Who wants to argue with the injured man who brought the challenge to a temporary halt?

Every chess player has done it: sacrifice for better strategic positioning. Former Survivor players have tried it. As we noted earlier, this week we are shown how to do it well, as a move within a game, not as the purpose of the game. Sometimes not winning a challenge makes you stronger.

A nod to CBS for spoiling the show along with us, proving that knowing the end is not a problem as long as the story is well told. From this week's promos we give you the spoiled story via black and white sequences.
