The finals are here! (Already?). So how will the final five play out? Let’s see.
5. Omarosa- Omarosa has grown on me, but it looks like she is the prime candidate to be eliminated early on in the finale night. She doesn’t have enough alliance support, and I think people will fear her well-spoken ability to address the jury on finale night. Also, she tried to get Ross out. With all that being said, she played a damn good game, but she’ll be going home in 5th place unless someone else decides to quit a la Keshia or Metta.
4. Ariadna Gutierrez- Ariadna has some alliances, but she isn’t the number one on anyone’s radar to align with. When it comes down to fewer and fewer people, I wonder if they’ll take the easy road and get her out. She is a huge threat to win in the end. She’s got lots of good relationships on the jury, especially with Brandi, so it would be better for her to be targeted sooner rather than later.
3. Marissa Jaret Winokur- Marissa has stuck by Ross’s side the entire time. While she may have less blood on her hands, I don’t see a jury awarding her for her gameplay in the end, so the best she could probably do is 2nd place. And even then, I think there’s a bigger pawn opportunity to bring to the end…
2. Mark McGrath- Mark is going to be the go-to guy for anyone to get to the final 2. While he is a sweet guy, his strategy of floating wasn’t very involved. I think the jury is going to recognize good gameplay over everything else. So while Mark might be likable as hell, I think he’ll only be our runner up. But 2nd place is still great for him!
1. Ross Matthews- Since Shannon was eliminated, Ross was the biggest super-fan in the house, and he was still able to throw targets on others, and defend himself when he was targeted. He is the biggest threat, but he also has the most allies amongst the group, and has the best competition track record. I am pulling for him to win.
I think Ross is the favorite to win right now, and he will probably be sitting aside either Marissa or Mark in the end (Mark is the easier one to beat). Ariadna could find her way there if she wins some challenges, and in that case, I think she wins. But looking at the big picture, my rank seems like the safest prediction bet.
My personal rank:
1. Ariadna
2. Ross
3. Mark
4. Marissa
5. Omarosa
