It is
the finale... so it will be the last time we
will get to enjoy Gabon.
This
week's prediction will be a little bit different
than what you are used to. We will be analyzing
each of the Survivors throughout their time in
Survivor Gabon, and in that sense, we will
provide you with our predictions for the finale.
CBS Clues
#1
- Two
castaways are sent packing, leaving three to
plead their case for the one million dollar
prize and the title of sole survivor.
Confirms a Final 3
#2
- A
shocking turn of events causes the castaways to
scramble for new strategies in the moments
before Tribal Council. Someone unexpected
wins immunity?
#3
- The
fate of the final four rests in the hands of one
castaway who reveals an outrageous decision at
the most surprising Tribal Council yet.
Rumors are that Sugar can't take the pressure of
being in the finals so backs out, we don't know
if that is even plausible... what else could be
more outrageous than quitting
#4
- The
jury is faced with a million dollar decision
after they question the last three castaways at
the final Tribal Council.
Bob
started out this game with almost no solid story
line. Up until episode 7, he had the second to
least confessionals (next to Susie). We already
have gotten this vibe that the editors want us
to respect his gameplay simply because the man
is old and very crafty. But aside from his long
standing reputation of being very handy around
camp, the strategy side of him has lacked until
recently and we just don't see that being enough
for him to win. Add to the fact that the Onion
comprise a majority of the jury and we have
reason to suspect the others will block him from
making the final 4. In any case, we would be
disappointed with a Bob win because to us, it
would come out of nowhere.
Jury Likeability: Great
Our Likeability: OK Story Arc Strength:
OK Factor that Keeps Him From Winning:
Too huge of a threat to bring to Final 3 Predicted Finish:
5th Place
Preseason,
Matty has made himself into a person that was
reconstructing his life. We have
seen him survive being on one of the most
abysmal tribes ever on Survivor. Eventually, his
time out here makes him realize that he wants to
spend the rest of his life with his girlfriend
and decides to propose. In terms of storyline,
Matty has gotten what he wanted out of the game.
Proposing to his girlfriend seems to be the
pinnacle of his story arc, so winning at this
point will only overshadow his proposal. The
others do not want to go up against him for any
kind of endurance challenge so he'll likely be
gone soon. I don't think he is as well liked by
the jury as we are all thinking, but the people
left in the game feel like they are hated more
compared to Matty. An alliance with Susie means
nothing as we have seen throughout this season
so she will try to vote out her competition in a
heartbeat.
Jury Likeability: Good
Our Likeability: Poor Story Arc Strength:
OK Factor that Keeps Him From Winning:
Too whiny, jury performance likely horrible Predicted Finish:
4th Place
SUSIE SMITH
She is
a bigger character than we are being shown on
TV, especially if you have the opportunity to
watch all of the Insider videos that CBS puts
up. Susie has some real game in her but there is
a reason the editors are shafting her in the
actual show. The reason being is that she has no
bearing on the actual outcome. She hasn't been
identified as good or evil, she probably doesn't
earn a single jury vote. The other players know
how the jury feels about Susie, so she will
likely get a free ride to the finals. There has
to be a reason they kept shoving her final 3
quote down our throats during the Marcus boot
episode.
Jury Likeability: Poor
Our Likeability: OK Story Arc Strength:
Poor Factor that Keeps Him From Winning:
Too under the radar, practically invisible to
viewers, cause for the downfall of the Onions Predicted Finish:
3rd Place
Sugar... we never thought of her lasting this
long, but ever since she found the idol, her
confidence within the game kept growing. She is
definitely the most emotional of the bunch, and
that is affecting her gameplay. With a wildcard
like that left in the game, no one really knows
what she is going to do, it just simply depends
on how she feels moments leading up to Tribal
Council. Still, she has been a constant focus
over the season, being a city girl adjusting to
the wild and a self-proclaimed traitor. In any
case, she is all about making sure the right
people win, and at this point, she is on the Bob
and Matty bandwagon rather than for herself. She
isn't playing to win, just for the good guys to
win.
Jury Likeability: Poor
Our Likeability: Good Story Arc Strength:
Good Factor that Keeps Him From Winning:
Too emotional when playing the game, enemies on
jury Predicted Finish: Runner-up
KEN
HOANG
Ken's
storyline has been about his transition from a
nerdy video gamer into a person who is able to
live in the wilderness and interact with other
people. We are worried about his sudden increase
in cockiness over the last few episodes so we
want to say that he is being set up for a
downfall. In any case, we do feel that he has
been attributed with the most "game," voting in
terms of improving his own situation rather than
using his emotions. Still, we think that all of
the negative editing will have a last minute
redemption arc where he somehow weasels his way
into the final 3.
Jury Likeability: Good
Our Likeability: Good Story Arc Strength:
Good Factor that Keeps Him From Winning:
Too cocky and overconfident, seen as evil Predicted Finish:
Sole Survivor
