Thanks Dis. That is a good post and raises the question...Will it be Kathy if Rotu wins?

I say this because Pappy and Neleh will be looking down the line after the merge and voting Kathy off now will make their alliance stronger later. They could easily assume Kathy will sense she is in danger and align with Gina, Rob, Sean, Vee, John and Robert putting the Gabe, Zoe, Pappy, Neleh, Tammy alliance in danger.

Thanks for the link. That was an interesting post. Just for grins, I re-watched the Switch scene again last nite with my sound muted, so I could concetrated on body language.

The poster you linked us to talked about how the Rotu members were standing as they were listening to the instructions on the next "challenge." It said they all had their arms around each other, and were standing in this order from left to right: Kathy, Robert, John, Gabe, Neleh, Tammy, Pachel, Zoe. What the poster did not mention was, Gabe did not have his right arm around John (who was standing to his right). His right arm was down at his side. In fact, John was standing slightly behind Gabe. So, they were standing like this: Kathy, Robert, John with arms around each other, then Gabe, Neleh, Tammy, Paschel, Zoe with arms around each other. This latter group of five stood slightly in front of the other three, and their group was slightly curved in towards each other, so their backs were ever so slightly to the other three.

It is a preview to the alliances on Rotu that we will see unfold. No hints as to who is going this week however.

Thanks Disco, that was a great link!!

Fruitbat,

We always talk about someone switching alliaces down the road - like your example of Kathy switching to original Maraamu.

My question is - have we ever really seen this happen - in any of the seasons??

The only one(s) I can think of are Kelly and Brandon - and look where it got them.

Season 1
Kelly wavered in her alliance, but she never switched it to someone else, she just didn't want to vote exactly as everyone else wanted her to.

Season 2
No one switched. Amber should have, but never bothered, even though it could have helped her a great deal.

Season 3
Teresa was running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to get anyone to allign with her, but no one would - even if it would help them.

Some folks adapted to new alliances as old ones were lost due to folks leaving the game, but none of these people ever seems to win.

Season 1
Kelly, Richard, et al, had each other from the get-go. No one was lost until everone else was gone.

Season 2
Tina and Colby had each other from the beginning too. MB/CBS hid it in editing, but listening to the post show interviews it is clear they were together from the beginning.

Season 3
Ethan, Big Tom, and Lex - also together from day 1. Kim J only made it in to the final two through immunity.

It would be fun if we could finally see a late in the game alliace win the thing. But I'm not holding my breath.........
