Survivor: Cook Islands – Survivor Live, Episode 8

Having also thought about the potential jury problems, caller Julie from Phoenix has some ideas. She wonders if a jury member is coming back into the game, or if someone is voted out but doesn’t go on the jury. Dalton thinks that being in loser lounge is an unfair advantage, and bad fan reaction to the Outcasts Tribe may preclude the former from happening again. Jenna hates the idea of an eliminated player not going to the jury, because that’s a reward one earns by going late into the game. Jenna studies Brad’s face for clues, but he’s stoic. Dalton likes Julie’s theories and gives her a well-earned buff.

JC in Texas wonders why Brad voted for Jenny (when Cristina was voted out). Brad says, “At Tribal Council, you didn’t see Jenny being really ‘pissy’ with Cristina, saying she was annoying. I didn’t like it; it was completely uncalled for. I liked Cristina, so I told her; I’m going to give you a second chance. And that’s what I did. I didn’t like Jenny when she was on the original Puka tribe, so that’s why I voted for her.”

It’s time for Jenna Morasca’s “Question of the Week.” Dalton first plays the clip from last week of Terry giving Jenna a hard time. She likes giving crap to Terry and Tom Westman, because of their different work ethics, but she honestly thinks they are both good guys.

As this feature starts, there’s always a fanfare and a really old picture of Jenna with long hair extensions. Jenna notes her hair is almost that long again and pointing to it, says, “And these are real!” Pause. Then, “Not these (points to her chest)… these (points to her cascading hair)!” Cute!

Jenna’s question is, “What are you going to do now?” Right now, he is working on “Holiday 2007,” his clothing line for Lucky Brand Jeans. They are always four quarters ahead. He’s not turning down TV opportunities, and surmises perhaps a fashion segment on E! or the Style Network may be right for him.

The final piece of business is running the CBS promo. Adam and Candice finally reconnect; and a new twist involving a bottle.

Dalton doesn’t know what’s in the bottle. Jenna thinks it’s info about the hidden idol, like who has it or what tribe it’s on. Dalton doesn’t think so.

As I wish to remain spoiler-free, I’ll just mention that the spoiler Dalton drops about next week’s show is available to anyone who emails me at the address below!

Alas, that’s the end. Dalton gives props to Brad and Jenna shimmies us out.

CBS Website Clues:

• One survivor hopes that their efforts to provide for their tribe will protect them from elimination, despite being low on the totem pole.
• A festive prize is up for grabs at the reward challenge. Will one tribe’s bickering and inability to work together cost them the reward, or can they pull it together to win big?
• Emotions run high as one survivor is betrayed by friends and unanimously banished to Exile Island.
• One tribe worries that another member has mentally checked out of the game. Will their lack of enthusiasm put them on the chopping block?
• At the end of the Immunity Challenge, the losers receive a message in a bottle that’s not to be opened until Tribal Council. How will that message change the course of the game?

Sanity now reigns at CBS’s Popularity Poll, as Ozzy and Yul have a sizeable lead on the rest. Together they represent over three-quarters of the votes!

Trivia Answers:
This week’s question was about pre-merge jury members. Once again returning to Survivor: Thailand and the season of the fake merge-late merge, the person in question is Erin.
