I feel like Mark hasn't really shown the full extent of his strategic potential yet.

On a more serious note, Tai was between a rock and a hard place this episode and I truly believe he will do better as a result of his decision. While I still expect him to be blindsided before finals, I think he can leave the game with his head held high over what he's done, as opposed to being unceremoniously dumped by Jason & Scot at f4. A better ending for an enormously likable and highly nuanced character.

Cydney and Michele were both fairly quiet, as has been mentioned. Michele is also my final draft winner pick (although after missing all but the first round of bonus questions I'm not aiming to top the scoreboard...I'm in it more to see if I can predict a winner) and I feel like she surely must be about to do something to change the game. I certainly hope so as it would be a major disappointment for her to continue to play it safe and be dragged to finals.

Cydney I just don't see winning the game...if she makes finals maybe the vote will be close but with the way her edit has shifted her out of the spotlight I don't think we'll be seeing much more from her outside of a challenge win or two possibly.

Julia's double dealing has doomed her...even if she were to miraculously make finals I think she's lost the votes of most of the cast other than Jason, Scot & maybe Nick.

Joe continues to be irrelevant in challenges, strategic decision making, or providing entertainment. I'll bet the producers wanted this guy out badly at this point since he clearly makes for poor television. A medivac could make him semi-memorable.

Jason doesn't have a chance at winning regardless of what he does. He could go an an immunity streak, he could find and play multiple idols, he could vote out any combination of remaining players, the producers could surprise the cast with a final 2 and he could go to finals with Joe and I still think he'd lose. He's a poor man's Russell Hantz, and he'll leave this game poorer than Russell Hantz monetarily as well (although to be fair Russell was wealthy before he played).

I don't think I need to say much about Aubry. She's killing this game right now and if she isn't stopped by people turning on her or a medivac she will be this season's winner.
