We have two eliminations coming up, so it’ll be interesting to see how the dynamics of these two mini tribes shake out. Let’s rank, keeping in mind that with 2 immunities and so many idols/advantages out there, there’s a good chance I’ll be WAY off.
10. Tori Meehan- Of all the remaining contestants, Tori seems the most prone to be eliminated. She has no allies, and her edit hasn’t been in as much of a boost as Romeo’s has. I also think her recent immunity tear will indicate to others that she is some sort of threat worth taking out this early.
9. Hai Giang- Hai has been on a slow decline since the merge, losing Lydia then not getting his way with the Romeo vs. Chanelle vote. Hai is losing more and more control, and I think he’s the one becoming more paranoid despite him saying that Romeo is the paranoid one. With this tribal being the point of the game where we lost both Evvie and Naseer (two huge presences in the game), I think we’re bound to lose someone big to a bigger blindside this time, and Hai seems to fit that bill. I may be wrong, but that’s where my mind is at.
8. Romeo Escobar- Romeo is surely on the bottom, but I also think being as keen of a player as Romeo, he’s going to be able to finagle his way out of any rough spot. Is he safe? By no means. But I think he’ll do what it takes to make it one more day.
7. Maryanne Oketch- Maryanne was high on this list with her idol, but since Drea has the knowledge is power, I think this complicates things. Mike is in Drea’s alliance, Maryanne is not, so if Drea is going to steal from anyone, it’ll be her. It would be really sad to see Maryanne go that way, and I still think there’s a way she can get through this next tribal even if her idol is stolen, but she’s certainly vulnerable more so than ever.
6. Jonathan Young- Jonathan doesn’t seem to be a target anymore for his strength, but with the tribes being split into two tribes of 5, I do think there’s a tad less wiggle room for Jonathan. He’s gonna have a tough time hiding, and if he’s not on a tribe with a lot of his Taku tribe or Mike, maybe they will take the shot at him. I think he’s safe because I also think he has a good shot at winning immunity, but he’s in the bottom half for those reasons I mentioned.
5. Lindsay Dolashewich- I think Lindsay is in the perfect position. She’s quiet enough to not be a target, but she’s still in the “know” when it comes to alliances and plans. The only thing that worries me is her amulet, but even then, I think people would take a shot at Hai before her if it comes down to trying to eliminate the amulet.
4. Rocksroy Bailey- Rocksroy is in this bigger alliance thanks to Drea, and he also doesn’t seem to pose much of a threat. I just don’t see how he ends up being the boot unless he ends up on a tribe against all the outsiders (Tori, Maryanne, Romeo) and even then, I don’t know why Rocksroy would be anyone’s top priority to go home.
3. Omar Zaheer- Omar is really shaping up to be THE key player of the season, which means he’ll likely either lose in fire making or win in a fairly obvious way. That’s why he’s so high on this list. I just don’t see a way he goes home.
2. Mike Turner- The only reason Mike is higher than Omar is because Mike has an idol. But these top seem pretty damn secure now…at least for the time being.
1. Drea Wheeler- Drea now has a knowledge is power advantage. This girl just keeps raking in the advantages. I think she’s really well positioned, and should she be targeted, she’ll have her idol, an extra vote, and someone else’s idol/advantage as ammo.
I think the target pool is pretty slim. Romeo, Tori, and Maryanne seem on the bottom, with Hai being the potential blindside pick. Anyone else, I just don’t see the urgency to get rid of them unless we’re in for some surprises (or if 5 of the same alliance end up on a tribe together). I”m going to go with one safe pick and one more high—I mean Hai—risk one.
PREDICTIONS:
Going Home 1st- Tori Meehan
Going Home 2nd- Hai Giang
