Well, I got the prediction wrong this week. It was Dan, not Rodney going home. I'm not sure why, except maybe it was a bit of payback from Mike, combined with Mama C not wanting to betray her alliance with Rodney and Will. I'm glad Dan is gone, though. He was an a**, and he didn't need to be. I can't understand why he hated Mike so much. His vitriol for Mike seemed unjustified. All the guy did was fake him out at the auction. Big Deal! Mike eventually kept to the agreement, and Dan ended up with the advantage. So what's Dan's problem? Is it something we didn't get to see on the show? Maybe we'll learn more at the reunion. As for Dan's advantage, boy did he waste it, or what? Dan, Rodney, and Will forgot the cardinal rule of tribal council voting: "Split the vote in case your main target has a hidden idol." If Dan had used his two votes on Sierra, while Rodney, Will and Sierra vote Carolyn, then it's a tie between Dan and Sierra. On the revote, Rodney and Will vote Sierra. Voila, Dan's still in the game. But, nooooooo. Dan wastes his votes and goes home instead, tilting the balance of power in Mike and Mama C's favor, because those two can win challenges and find idols. I think Rodney's the next one to go, followed by Sierra. Mike, Mama C, and Will go to the final. Mike will get votes from Hali, Joe, Jenn, and Shirin. Carolyn might get votes from Sierra and Tyler, but one or both of them might vote for Mike. Will gets Dan and Rodney's votes. Mike wins Survivor: Worlds Apart.
