Episode 06
Predictions

Looks like our first (and possibly only) double boot
episode. According to recent news, not only will there
be 15 episodes instead of the normal 14, and according
to a recent release... the finale will feature five
castaways, a new survivor first. Anyways, this week it
appears individual immunity may be the castaways only
chance at locking their spot in the game. If anyone gets
it, it would just be a completely random guess.
But it appears there is a Reward Challenge this week. I
believe there may be an exile, not sure how it might
work though. I might guess that one person is exiled
from each tribe, in which case, I'd assume they'd
protect weaker members, maybe Candice (again) and Jenny.
It's a wrestling challenge, based only on that, I will
give the victory to the still physically stronger
Rarotonga tribe. So both tribes vote... I think on Raro,
it's somewhat obvious that Cristina will be voted off
unless immune or exiled. On Aitutaki, this "voodoo plan"
may interfere, but I believe it will be one of the
weaker outcasts, either Cao Boi or Jessica. I'm going
with Jessica on this one, just a gut. |

I guess what people are trying to figure out more than
the boots is if anyone is actually immune this episode.
Really, immunity would only affect the two people I am
predicting to leave this week. Let's discuss dynamics.
Challenge wise, Aitu has been winning, and despite this
being a very physical challenge, I can see the Aitu
women edging out the Raro women in it. The reward is
probably some sort of feast. I'm guessing there will be
no immunity up for grabs for the winning tribe, though
people are saying that if there were, Cao Boi wins it
and this is why he tries to call into order Plan Voodoo.
I really think, safe or not, he is thinking about the
plan anyhow.
The thing we saw last week is that the Aitu core
alliance consists of Becky, Yul, Jonathan, Candice and
now it appears Sundra. This leaves Jessica, Cao Boi and
Ozzy on the outs. Ozzy will be spared because he is a
challenge necessity and more importantly, a food
provider. Jessica is expendable, but she will likely be
kept because she is more tolerable than Cao Boi. It'll
be harder for her to rally anything if there is a merge
or something coming soon. It will be Cao Boi that should
be leaving this episode. He is obviously going against
the power 5, and that will not sit with them well.
Over at Raro, one of the women are poised to make an
exit. Jenny has been speculated to leave the last couple
of episodes, but people who made more devastating moves
in the games got in the way of her boot. I still think
Cristina's loud mouth will get her in trouble. We have
seen the damage she has done at that camp, and they will
not forget that. They already said she has the same
physical presence and strength in the challenge as
Stephannie, and seeing that she is gone, that doesn't
spell anything good for Cristina's future. |

then there were 15. Last week’s episode wasn’t
nearly as shocking as some
have been, with a fairly predictable boot of the
somewhat worthless Stephannie. I
will, however, say that the reward challenge had me
rolling! I loved all the banter between the tribes
and it really made for an interesting challenge and
overall episode. Though I feel Flica’s days are
numbered, she really added to that challenge and made it
interesting – ironic how she did all of the talking and
ultimately it was because of her that they lost
(foreshadowing much, are we)? But
that was last week and this is this week…
As the previews for this week’s episode have shown,
they’re finally going to do a
double Tribal Council. Personally I’ve never been
a big fan of the double TC,
because I feel that it really isn’t fair to the tribe
that wins the challenge. I
mean, that’s the point of an Immunity Challenge – the
winners should be immune.
There’s a lot of speculation as to who will win and how
they do, though if you
look very closely in the commercials, you can see
Cao-Boi with the tribal Immunity
Idol. Does this mean he’s somehow immune this
week? Personally I think so.
Cao-Boi is one of the liveliest characters this season
and it’ll be a shame when
he goes.
As with seasons past, I’m sure there will be a main
challenge and then the winning tribe will get to compete
for Individual Immunity. Perhaps they can bestow
that immunity on a member of the opposite tribe?
Maybe. We know the two tribes have had contact
with one another outside of challenges, so maybe when
Ozzy, Cao-Boi and Flica crashed Raro’s camp – something
might have happened?
At any rate, it looks to be a good episode with another
very physical challenge.
I like the challenges where they actually get to
physically contact the opposing
tribe – I’m sure there’s a lot of pent up aggression in
these folks and its fun to
watch as these guys and gals try to beat the hell out of
each other. Predictions?
This is a tricky one… |
