There is some info out that is not exactly correct. Someone is posting that Parvati is the one who caused Stephs injury to her shoulder. That is not exactly correct. Steph injures her shoulder in an early round of the challenge. After it is already injured - on the next round - Parv goes after it and tries to take advantage of it. The damage was already done to the shoulder before that round though. I am told this week is only 1 boot with Sugar. That means Steph will not leave until next week. I guess everyone noticed how Parv already had her hooks into The Whining One before they even got off the helicopter. He is so smart - he fell for it.

Really? Coz it seems like there are 5 rounds from the promo pix, and no one goes a second time. We see Parv/Danielle face Cirie/Steph; Amanda/Sugar vs. Courtney/Sandra; Rupert/James vs. Rob/Tyson; Jerri/Randy vs. JT/Candice; Russell/Coach vs. Colby/Tom.

How can they possibly do a 6th round if there are 5 rounds and most likely a 3-2 victory? Unless there is an extra round but why would the Heroes pick Steph to go again despite her injury?

I dunno, it is a little weird. Please explain.

I can explain.  Missyae = wrong again. 
  

* As some of you may know, often when there is a challenge on Survivor that is presented as a ''first team to three wins,'' in actuality, it was something much longer. Take this reward challenge: What you saw on TV was a ''first one to three wins.'' But in reality, the teams actually played all the way to five. Remember how the Villains went up 2-1 after Coach dragged Colby back to the Villains mat? In actuality, the Heroes had a whopping 4-0 lead when that contest took place, and that Coach victory merely got the Villains back to 4-1. But this was just the tip of the out-of-order iceberg, and what I am about to tell you is so convoluted and confusing we may need Lostexpert Doc Jensen to decipher it.

The first-round match-up you saw with Stephenie and Cirie vs. Parvati and Danielle was actually round six and got the Villains back to being down only 4-2. But wait, it gets even more confusing. Remember how you saw Stephenie dislocate her shoulder and Probst remarked how she injured herself in the very first round of the very first challenge. Well, that was true, but it wasn't the round you saw. The actual first round (that you did not see) featured the exact same match-up (Stephenie and Cirie vs. Parvati and Danielle) and it was actually a Heroes victory. Not only that, but the injury appeared to occur while Stephenie was slapping the mat with her extended arm to give her team the win. So, the round you saw presented as the first match-up was actually a rematch that Stephenie was participating in after she had already dislocated her shoulder! (How tough is she?) So, the injury happened in one place, but was edited into another.

Now because this is all a bit hard to follow, let me be clear about one thing: There is no monkeying around when it comes to Survivor challenges. The teams compete and the winner is the winner. Nothing is rigged. When you saw people winning rounds, they were winning rounds, maybe just not in the exact order it actually happened. Like all elements of the show, the producers just often record much more than can actually show so then have to figure out the best way to condense it all. (For example, the one round where Coach dragged Colby to his mat took over nine minutes by itself. It was an epic duel that was mesmerizing to witness, but simply too long to show in its entirety) And Stephenie did injure her shoulder in that competition against those same players, just not in the round they showed us. I'm actually surprised they edited it this way because watching Stephenie dislocating it as she won, and then coming back to compete after injuring it was pretty dramatic in itself. Again, just not enough time.
