In each competition there is a winner and there are also two "losers, or another way of thinking about it is that there can be two "winners" and one loser, since only one person goes home. When someone wins, they basically send two people to face their jury." The cast then decides which of the losers goes home. It is certainly in the interest of an alliance for two people who are in an alliance to dominate a third person and for two people to "win" over the third person, although only one person is technically the official "winner" because only he or she gets a key. If I'd hit you all with the three-person thing weeks ago, you would all have freaked out -- I know I did. This is like peeling an onion. The rules are very complex and I don't yet fully understand them. Think about this: If only one of the three goes home, what happens to the second person who is not voted out. Remember to think outside the box!

Confused yet... even after reading the MTV discussion about the challenge? You are not alone.

Thanks V1 for some of the insight, I mean I am still confused, but you made it somewhat easier.

I like how it is three people in battle instead of two because with two people it is less interesting, and it becomes much easier to predict a winner. With three people, an alliance may help out some of the players, or it may not.

My guess is still that the other person is Exiled or something. I mean we saw so many people standing by themselves building things, unless they are building their boats.

My only thing I am wondering about is: if you have a key can you lose it? SOmething to think about.

Thanks V. You cleared a lot of things up. Although, I am still confused of the loose ends of all this, but I guess I won't know those till the challenge starts. I wonder how much of the first episode will have to be dedicated to T.J. reciting the rules for everyone to get it.

I doubt it. The BMP budget isn't big enough for hundreds of takes and a thousand cue cards for idiot TJ.

I am starting to feel like these rules are going to be like that Friends episode where Joey is auditioning to host a game show. Chandler and Ross played along and it was the most complicated set of rules ever! Maybe Joey should host the show instead of TJ...
