In the next reward challenge, the winner goes to a Samburu village to trade 2 goats for whatever they can get.
The winner gets to pick someone to go with him/her- this could be a very political choice

(remember in S1 when Kelly was promised the guest spot and didn't get to go?)

Obviously you want someone who will help with the negotiations- but there are also alliance issues- you don't want to pick the wrong person and send a message about who you are allied with-nor do you want to make the wrong person mad....

Who do you think might win the challenge, and who will they pick to go with them to trade?

It depends on whether the reward challenge is mental or physical. Wouldn't it be funny if Brandon won on the basis of 'reading the book'! He is sure he knows everything in it. He would probably pick one of the guys, say Lex, to go with him. If it is physical, that would be a tough one because there are several who could win but might want to lose on purpose. I think Lex will try to win and also Teresa. Lex would take Tom since he knows goats! Teresa might take Frank since she has been loyal to him up til now.

I agree with you that there will be some who will prefer to forgo the reward rather than have to choose or be a threat in the others' eyes as far as winning things......but:

I see this as a thinking person's way to cement shaky alliances or try to sway someone rather than taking someone you are already sure about. (Not saying these are all "thinking" people but if they were...... )

So the old Boran alliance will take Ethan if he is the swing vote between Tom/Lex and Kelly/MamaKim (which I think he is). If Ethan wins it will be very interesting who he chooses.... I think he will take Lex or Tom to convince them he is firmly in their camp, after the swap separation.

Old Samburu will be smart to take someone from old Boran who they want to tempt over to their side - Kelly or MamaKim probably, possibly Ethan. This also will be interesting to see who they choose. But that means Theresa/Frank have to be working with Brandon/KimP -- don't know if that will happen or not. Previews seem to be foreshadowing this.

I saw a vid cap of the reward and it looked like Ethan with a female....If he is allied with L/T, I wouldn't pick them. If he is allied with Ke/Kj, I wouldn't pick them...Ethan seems to want to be publicly uncommitted-be friends with many-
if I were him I would take T or Kimp- T may be
dangerous if there is a whiff of her setting up
an alliance or if anyone suspects her vote for L- I would probably pick Kimp- she is not a threat, she is cute, she could probably deal with the Samburus for some food or something... and I don't think anyone would be jealous of her except maybe Kelly (remember Kelly's comment about Ethan and Jessie).

Whoever wins the challenge could make it a team decision as to who to take. I don't know if this would be allowed, but it would throw anyone else off the scent of a possible alliance (by choosing someone individually) if everyone had a part in deciding who goes along.

There is some talk of it being Ethan and KimP. I will guess that one of them wins and chooses the player that came in second. Good diplomacy and it avoids exposing an alliance or choosing a friend and suffering any consequences that could bring.
