Well, we are mostly assuming there will be a tribal switch as in SIII. We have also heard there were 9 people left when the tribes merged.

So, let's assume MB will do anything to get Rotu to lose the next two challenges so the teams are even again. The Switch came when both teams were at six last time.

Ok, now for my theory...Tree mail comes, and each team is told to send "TWO of their best" for the next challenge. Going on the story that MB showed them the Switch episode before they left, they are thinking this is the time to switch people. Gina and Hunter are glad to go, cause they don't like being around the rest of the people any more, and Sean is glad to have them leave (especially Hunter), cause now HE can be Alpha Man. I don't know who Rotu sends. Kathy is gone cause she was booted on their first loss. Maybe Robert is gone too (on thier second loss) cause he was sick. Assuming the rest of them still get along well, they will send two "agents" to infiltrate the other tribe. When they meet with Jeff, they are told, "Guess what. The four of you are now a new tribe, and will compete against Rotu and Maraamu (I think I've been calling them Mataamu in other posts! Somebody should have smacked me and corrected me! ). This new tribe could even be the pink color we've seen.

The next three challenges miraculously has each team losing a challenge, thus one member. Each tribe has three members going in to the merge, and there we have 9 people going into the merge. Also, those 9 are the instant jury and final two!

I don't know about you all, but I think this would be a fun twist on the twist!

Now, just who do you think these three tribes would be?

Maraamu-Sean, Vee, Sarah, Rob
New Tribe- Gina, Hunter, ? and ?
Rotu ????

I'm likin this one. Markie can probably ensure at least one MooMoo win with an SOS type challenge and if the stars align correctly and Rotu actually lose two in a row your scenario would be very interesting.

It makes a lot more sense than some other theories I've read. It could happen,and it would be very interesting.

Yes Who R U? You have a great twist to the twist theory. I like it. I think Rotu will end up with Gabe, Tammy, Paschal, Zoe, and Neleh after Robert, John, and Kathy have been voted off. It's very possible one of those two guys will go before Kathy if they are injured or too sick, and I am predicting it will be Robert first, because an illness just makes him worse and John can get around even with an injury. It would be very hard to predict who out of the remaining tribe members would be sent to the twist. If Kathy is still there they might send her and Zoe would go with her! lol

I think if they were told to send their best two for a challenge, it would be Gabe and John. Then our new tribe would be Hunter, Gina, Gabe and John. :)

Good theory. It would also explain the third campsite rumour.

Oh, I like this. Any link available to the rumor of a third camp?

If this isn't the plan...it should be!

Thank you for liking my theory! It would be fun if it really happened. One of the frustrating things about Survivor is that, by the time we see the show, everything has already happened, and the Survivors are already home. So we can't make a suggestion here that MB could pick up on and use.

Personally, I think MB should hire me for ideas to shake up the show! Heaven knows, I can use a job. And I know were to come for more ideas than just what I have!

This is a great idea and I agree that the way it would be phrased - send your very best two for a challenge. However, I'm not so sure if anyone would want to go assuming that MB showed them the switch videotape. He'd have to psych them out. They'd say this is the switch and no one from Rotu would want to go. So he'd have to say something like, send your two best for a two on two challenge, the winning team gets a huge reward (to give them incentive to send good people).

Rotu will have booted Kathy. But I think the next boot will be John. Partly because I don't like him and partly because I see Michael Skupin delusions of self-worth in him. He acts as if the team will fall apart without him. I think they'll do just fine. If Rotu is tricked into sending their two best, I think they will send Gabriel and Tammy.

Making the teams:

Maramuu: Vecepia, Sean, Rob, Sarah
Rotu: Zoe, Robert, Pascal, Neleh
something-oo: Hunter, Gina, Gabriel, Tammy

I think Vee will take control of Marammuu, and there will be an interesting 2-2 split. The new tribe will be strong under the leadership of Harmon Rabb Jr. But the old Rotu will be toast.
