Erin, Penny and Jake have had the least amount of face time of all the remaining players. I think they make it to the final three.

I still believe Brian could win this thing -- but he has gotten a lot of face time in the last few episodes.

Jake, Erin and Penny sit in the back (I'm sure that's its the editing)

What do you think?

Vee won and had very little face time.

There has definitely been a noticeable correlation this season between "story arcs" and who gets booted, especially with the last two boots... by story arcs, I mean people whose stories appear to be coming to and end. I think Ken gets booted soon because of this, but think it is too soon to tell as far as the others. The arc doesn't really become apparent until an episode before the boot. So I am not ready to give the "face time theory" much weight as far as who makes it to the final three. I think it is a better short-term indication as opposed to long-term.

I actually think Penny has gotten more face time than Erin and Jake, but that might just have been fallout from the Shii Ann story. At this point in time, I don't think Penny, Jake and Erin will be the final three, but that is because of some other spoilers that I'm believing in.

Just my 2 cents.

I think they give the face time to the one who has the most interesting story. Those with the interesting stories are the ones who put themselves in a position to get voted off. The reason Vee didn't get face time was not because she won but because she never really did anything that was worthy of watching.

MB makes sure his all his players have face time.

They have story arcs also.

MB makes sure that the winner is hidden as much as possible. Vee was a player who switch alliances but it wasn't noticed by many.

Jake is a dark player and has not had much face time. He has aligned himself with Penny and Erin with Ken as his leading hitman yet Ken is not in Jakes alliance.

Ken has had plenty of face time the last 2 episodes and his story line is complete.If Suckies loose Ken is gone

Jan had a lot of face time the last show but I don't know what her story line is. The only one she had was in being firm NOT to vote Ted out.

CSnog, Yeah, we have seen a lot of blurbs about Jan, but nothing that really shows who she is. I think she will be around a bit longer. I really believe Ken is going next and then, I hope, Penny. I think airing so much of the Penny/Shii thing served a dual purpose... 1- good drama and 2- setting up the beginning of the end for Penny. Of course I am biased because I want this to be the case!

Penny is clearly not the leader of her tribe but is under the wing of Jake. Shii Ann was kept as long as Jake could but knew she was not accepted by Penny and Erin.

The leader in playing this long does not put themselves into the limlight unless their stupid.

Jake is the leader with his 2 lady's.

If the Suckies lose Ken is gone.

If the Chewies lose they may think they still need strength to win Imunities as a team and will vote Jan off not knowing that they will merge the next show and that individual strength will become a force to reckon with.

"I still believe Brian could win this thing -- but he has gotten a lot of face time in the last few episodes."

I think he's the winner too. It is true about Vee (not getting a lot), but I think they want the public to get to know the winner.

They could feature Erin or Penny a lot next episode if that's who gets booted. That's the real giveaway. I knew Shi Ann was going to go last night because they didn't she was the star of the episode.

There does seem to be a correlation between face time and who gets booted.

If Chuey had lost the IC, I think Jan would have gotten the boot. She had quite a bit of airtime, too.

The face time theory has alot of merit, but it doesn't always exactly correlate. Kathy got lots and lots of face time last year, but was there until the final three.

I still can't believe she didn't win. She was the best.

Kathy was pertinent to both tribes and was a complex personality. She was the one I thought MB wanted to win also but she messed up in the finals.

Richard had a lot of face time because he was arrogant.

Brian has face time alone and is not seen talking with the others just listening. They must have wanted his opinion quickly about the supposed tribe merge and Brian was arrogant thinking that he had them in his lair.

Just what MB wants.

I think Brian is in F3.

I think MB shows the most interesting interactions and personalities. He wants each episode to be loaded with action so viewers will continue to watch. We did not see a lot of Vee because she gave no good footage. A quiet one could win this again.

Jeff and MB have said that they try to get aggressive players but sometimes what the applicants say about themselves is misleading. The y do not want players who say they are in it for the experience or that their strategy is to be UTR. They are irritated when they find they have chosen someone who misrepresented themselves.

So.........I think face time has little to do with the outcome.

Precisely Ms Fruitbat. Some people are just boring.

Mom - how right you are!!! This season just seems to have a lot of people who "get along", although, I'm still enjoying it... it is Survivor after all!!!
