I have seen 15 minutes of the next episode and that's all the facts I'll give, so no one gets in trouble. Here is what I see, the two tribes do not switch or anything like that, they are given a map and told to bring their belongings and whatever they have from their camps that they can carry. They do not know that they will meet the other tribe their. This is their new camp and JP tells them that they have officially merged as one. They did not say the new tribes name and he also stated that everybody would compose the jury that is part of the new merged tribe (which would explain why they merged at 13 people, so there is no tie at the end). Everyone seemed shocked, especially Rotu.>




IF an early merge happens, who will be the first to go?

Right now, I am going with Moon... there are spoilers out there that Sean came home very thin and with his skin very darkened from the sun...the rumor is that he makes F7.. and that Sarah came home starving and bug-eaten. Hunter said that the no-no bites heal in about a week, so if she got booted she would be healed up before she got home.

Hunter spoke as if he and Sean had not resolved their issues...which may mean they were not sequestered together, but he was kind of funny when he spoke of Rob... which makes me wonder if Rob followed him, and they had time to make it up.

Also...if there is a merge, the Rotus probably know that Sean can't swim and has muffed most of the challenges, and that Sarah is no threat...
I also think Gina is going to sing like a canary (ala Teresa and Frank) about the gang of 4. Rob masterminded the Hunter coup... I would boot him first if I was a Rotu-just like Boran booted Silas as soon as possible.

that's because I got the idea from you:)

See, Grooch, Moon and I are Survivor sisters, we share the reality gene, and you and I share the packrat gene, so that makes you and Moon sis's too!

but stay tuned, my gut might rumble by Wednesday!


Hey, I live in MA.... what town is Rob in? Maybe Donut and I can find out something??? I read a bunch about Peter in his hometown paper!

Oh if you ever see my place, you will see we share lots of genes!

Rob is from MA, too. Right outside of Boston, I believe.

Me too! I may need to look into Rob a little further...

SEAN.... he'll get the vote as most threatening.

Or would Rotu realize their 8-5 lead could let them bump off Robert in a mercy vote and still keep their lead?

I doubt they would lose one of their own and keep an unknown Mar, no matter what the situation.

Rotu will assume that Mar will stick together, no matter what. So who do they vote out? Rob does not appear a threat to win challenges. None of them do. So they choose the most irritating.

I am still with Sean gone.

Bug bites...depending on how sensitive you skin is, bites of anykind can last a long time. They all remained on the island even when voted off. I know I get mosquito bites when others around me do not. Sarah could easily have evidence of bites weeks after. Colleen did for months.

Sean could get darker off the show as well as on.

If merge happens I see. Sean, Rob, Gina, Sarah off in that order. Vee is in there somewhere after the boys.

No merge: Gina or Kathy. (odds on Gina)

With Merge - Maybe Rob - because physically he looks like a threat, and if Gina does sing, he may look like a dangerous ring leader. I also think the Rotu's may use a chance to vote finally as an opportunity to get rid of one of their own - they still will have a safe majority - so maybe Kathy or Robert may go.

With out merge - I just keep guessing Rotu will lose the next immunity and I keep being wrong - but why ruin a streak? - Kathy or Robert with Rotu losing IC.

Side Note: Don't believe a word Hunter says about NoNos. He doesn't have a clue. He is one of those lucky indivuduals who is not bothered much by Bugs - I'm sure the few bites he had healed fast.

I am like Sara - Mosquitos LOVE me. I've had trouble sleeping when I imagine what NoNos are like. A mosquito bite can take more than a month to heal on me, and can remain itchy for many weeks. If Sara got really bit up, it could easily take 4-6 weeks for just the itching to go away - longer for the bites to heal.

If I was Sara I would bargin away anything I had for a supply of DEET (the active ingrediant in Bug Spray). I went through more than a bottle a week when I worked in the woods of Wisconsin.

I am trying not to pay attention to the rumors of what eveyone looked like when they arrived home. It was said Hunter came home thin too. Who knows where they are coming from.

Spoilers like this got us confused in Africa. Reports of Lindsay being in a hospital had many of us voting for her long before she actually left and she did not go to any hospital anyway. No one did. They brought IV's right to the camp.

Who has had enough airtime to get voted off? Kathy, Robert and John from Rotu. We have seen almost nothing of the others.

And as far as Mar we have seen less of Gina than the other 3.

I am changing and going with Rob if I convince myself there is a merge. My reason is Rotu will not want to appear racist and vote a black man off first. He will join the merge being his best self. The one that sings in the morning. Hunter mentioned that there were fun times with him that were not shown.

I'm gonna play Fruits game of what if... and my prediction IF there is a merge is that Sarah goes next. Her game plan is to damn annoying and Rotu won't care for her at all. I think the Godfather is safe for at least 2 more weeks. Well at least I'm hoping he is. He's my favorite player so far :)

OK C1mag. You are on Rotu. You see 5 people that you know you will vote off immediately. Who first?
As I said, I think Sean is safe being black, Vee too. So we have Rob or Sarah. Rob has a better chance of winning a challenge. Sarah has breasts. Robert and Paschal are straight. I am unsure of Gabe but John reads gay to me. All have input in who first as far as we know.

Soooooooooo 2 or 3 for breasts, the rest see no threat in Sarah for IC.

I am still seeing Rob.

i know i said that i wasn't going to post here anymore but i still read, and after seeing fruit's comment about sean and vee are safe 'cause they are black??? what the ?#@! does that have to do with anything? and please make the reason for you said sound logical so that an african-american person like myself can understand.

I did not mean this to be derogatory in anyway, Squaredsc.

I have seen white people tread very carefully around black people and bend over backwards to show their open heart to those of color.

I do not care for Sean (not that wild about Hunter either). I see him as angry and quick to pull the race card. We may disagree on this but it is on tape. I think this will come across loud and clear. Without them discussing it, I offer the possibility that it will be part of an unconcious decision to chose Rob. A man will go due to IC threat.

I don't think we can judge who is going to be voted off or who wins by how much airtime they have gotten. That worked for Tina on S2, but not for Ethan on S3. Frank got lots of airtime and stuck around for quite awhile. Teresa got lots of airtime lasted a long time, and Big Tom and Lex were all over the screen and lasted until final 4 and 3.

Everyone is quick to vote off Kathy because she is/was "annoying", but I don't think she is hands down the obvious choice to go first on Rotu. Robert has been sick, and John is accident prone. Paschal is loveable Pappy, but Rodger on S2 was lovable, worked hard, and was voted off earlier rather than later. We haven't been privy to any of the "alliance" talk yet on Rotu - they have been carefully editing it out - so we don't know yet who is really aligned with whom. It just looks like one big happy group. If we go with the "MB showing us the opposite" theory, Kathy will stick around a long time.

Merge or no merge, it's a Maraamu who will go next, and its pretty clear it will be Sean, Rob, or Sarah. Right now I'm leaning towards Rob. If there is a merge, Gina is safe, and if there is no merge yet, Gina is smart and I think will find a way to align herself with Vee and that will protect her.

We did not see a lot of Theresa in the early weeks of Africa. They featured her after the first bootees were show to the audience. We never say when someone goes, gee, we saw very little of this person. That is why people are saying that the safe ones on Rotu are the ones we know nothing about at this point.

They will get more airtime later. Certainly we would all be dumbfounded if Zoe, Pasqual or Gabe are voted off. We have not a clue as to why.

I agree that there is much more going on at Rotu than we know. Certainly alliances are forming. Because of this I think a Mar is going. MB would have given us more to ponder if Rotu were to go to TC.

I am thinking Vee is tight with her alliance and Gina is in danger. I go back and forth hourly.

I have talked myself out of the early merge theory based on Hunter being friends with Kathy after the return home. I am now back to a switch and am voting Kathy again. If she gets switched, she is out. The above is subject to change until 8 pm- I am voting unspoiled.

The early merge thing has too many jury/even-uneven numbers issues. I have talked myself out of it even tho it would be fun.
