The big loss Jeff talks about has to be the Chuay's losing their boat... doesn't it?

[JR.]

Either the boat or their fishing net. I don't really think they have much else.

I'm really curious about the "offer".

[fluff]

My first thought was the boat prely because they don't seem to be having a great deal of success with the net.
While they're still living on that particular beach, the loss of the boat would be really catastrophic as they have a three hour round trip to get water (five to six hours if Jan and Helen go).

[JR.]

Ahh, I forgot about their water situation.

I don't think Helen would take Jan to get water ever again.

[fluff]

No, as for the offer.
They certainly won't offer anyone money to leave the game, imo.

There are twelve people left so they could have a god old shake up and leave the teams with even numbers.

I still can't shake the image of Rob in that Black buff out of my head.
According to the CBS merchandising page the merge colour is a paler yellowy orange than the current Chuay colour.
There are black and red, urns/temple jars behind Jeff in one of the pictures so I wonder if somehow we are goign to get two new tribes with black and red as their colours.

[JR.]

The buffs could just be a digital manipulation, like MB did with Africa.

With the looks on their faces, it could be something to do with food.

[Wolf]

Is it Robb who gets injured by a sting ray?

As far as Chew Gum losing something of value, my first thought was also that they lose the boat. They need it to go get the water.

On the offer, they might ask each individual if they want to switch to another team or each individual will vote on who they think they want on their team. Of course, I'm probably wrong.

[jodaar]

That's Robb that gets stung, right? When I first saw it, I thought he got eaten by a shark.

Also, I love the pigtail look. I think all the girls except Erin (hair's too short) have them now. Robb, being a goofy longhair, might join them. That would only further endear him to us.
