Most of the guys in the merge are complete duds in my opinion. Alec, Keith and Wes are as smart as a bag of rocks. I am annoyed that these fools are in the merge and not other castaways. Personally i always like to root for the minority alliance like back in Cagayan, BvW 1, Phillipines, FvF 2, but this time, i cant stand them at all. Alec for one looks like a complete idiot, and even though im supossed to root for him cause we'r the same age, but i will be very glad to see these turkeys getting shot ! I love all the girls in the merge except for Baylor & Julie, at least its nice to see ALL of them strategizing and actually playing the game. I hope Natalie can pull this for the win, as i feel she has the best position so far, with having the only idol at the moment. All she has to do is vote out the 3 remaining goons, or use one of them as the swing vote, then she can do it !
What about Reed? He doesn't have the majority alliance but he does have a bit of a crafty mind when up against a wall. I don't think he has very good chances in comparison to the other alliance, but he's not done yet. I suspect in next episode we will see Jon, Jaclyn, Missy, and Baylor plotting against Reed with a potential Natalie vote. They probably won't have too much trouble, due to Kieth being dumb as nails and Alec not doing anything whatsoever. Pretty much we know where everyone stands except Nat, who has the potential to be a power player and flip to Reed's side and try to wipe out Missy. I only say Missy because she is the only person that has actually taken charge or lead someone somewhere. Baylor got trapped under her mother's influence, and Jon/Jaclyn didn't make any plans besides flipping when it suits them (not that there is anything wrong with that.) I seriously doubt Natalie will flip due to her not taking action last week and keeping Jon in the game. Unless this happens, we have a guaranteed (99%) shot of a Missy, Baylor, Jon, Jaclyn, Nat top 5. At that point, (again, if Natalie doesn't make a power move) Natalie will be eliminated. With Jon/Jaclyn sticking together and Missy/Baylor, They will likely have a fire-building contest with Jon against Missy. I don't know what will happen from there, but that's just my ideas.
One final thing to think about is the preview for next week's episode. It showed Jon and Jaclyn arguing. This could affect the game, but I seriously doubt it. Jaclyn would never go back to that group of chauvinistic men in her life. Worst comes to worst (which I doubt) Jon flips and they vote Missy/Baylor out. Again, I SERIOUSLY DOUBT this, but am just offering a possibility. I think Jon wouldn't want to leave Missy, and I know he wouldn't ever vote out Jaclyn. He just isn't that kind of guy. The game doesn't mean that much to him.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoyed! Respond if you have contrary ideas! I would love to hear them! Peace :)
I actually have some respect for Natalie now... I didn't like her or her sister on Amazing Race, but I think the sisters are better off when they are on their own and not together (well, Natalie is better off on her own at least).
I was rooting for Jaclyn & Jon UNTIL they turned on Jeremy! Natalie is the only one left remaining in the game I like, so I hope she wins it! Go Natalie!
I for one hate Jon and want him to get voted off, but I am glad Natalie told him to play his idol. In doing see, Natalie potentially saved her game. If she did not do that then the alliances would have been tied 4-4, each with an idol (Keith would still have his if Jon did not play an idol) and if it got down to that, who knows what would have happened. But now Natalie is in a good position because of that. It helped solidify trust between her and Jon/Jaclyn since they were probably skeptical of her after they blindsided Jeremy behind her back. and with the fight between Jon and Jaclyn next week, I am hoping she will take advantage of that and jump in saying to Jaclyn that if Jon makes it to the end he will win, and really play on her emotions in hopes that Jaclyn may make a big move and vote Jon off, which would then solidify a 4 girl alliance getting rid of reed, alec, and keith next. Go Natalie!!!!!
I dont think so because it was on a comercial that was live. On another comercial I saw Baylor Jaclyn Jon and Natalie all competing in a challenge after the first tribal so their safe

RT @tombo2407: @JeffProbst why would #Survivor promo during Pats game give away they are drawing rocks this week?!!? That was a mistake.

I completely agree with you. I was so surprised how good Cagayan was, there was so many strategist and good players and really unique and off the wall players.
