Survivor: Nicaragua - Page 2

I'll tell you one thing, at least early on in the game when team is so important - if Jimmy Freaking Johnson is offering his advice on how to work as a team, I listen. I'm not usually one for pep talks or following the leader, but in that case I'd make an exception.

It is fascinating to see how threatened the other alpha-males are acting around him. Here's someone who doesn't just THINK he's a good leader, and doesn't have to PROVE he's a good leader. He is. Period.

I'd be pretty pissed off if, say, I'd finally worked up the courage to try out for the show, sent in my tape, and hear, "Oh, you're 33? Sorry, we're cutting anyone in their 30s out of this season."

What does everyone think of the immunity clue?

I'm thinking pictogram

Cross over a cave, rock, turtle? Or read it backwards for 'X' marks the spot.

Code? Substitute?

Yardarm minus arm? Yard? A distance measure?

Rising or setting sun? Head east or west?

Tree? A starting point?

Edited to add: A better photo of the clue. NOTE: DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS on that page if you want to play this game.

I doubt they'd expect them to come up with "yardarm". Nor am I entirely sure that's an arm.

Though keeping with the Spanish theme, it could be "armada" - "arm".

Adason? *shrug*

On the better photo you can see 8 hash marks inside the "cave".

The "code" reads:

E = V
J = X
H = ?

Ghoulish Delight · 09-18-2010, 01:32 PM

And that arrow is indeed pointing to the yardarm.

Moonliner · 09-18-2010, 01:45 PM

OK, that was kinda fun. I hope this leads to another clue that we at home get a chance to play along with again.

I've seen worse cases of shooting yourself in the foot at Tribal but not many.

Ghoulish Delight · 09-23-2010, 02:10 PM

Yeah, that was spectacular. Can't wait to see what he has to say for himself at the finale.

That was also some impressive crazy, back at old people camp. Talk about freaking out.

Crazy old people vs dumb young people....yup.

Although to be fair, it's not like dumb and young is short on crazy either.
