From the previews of next weeks show, it looks like MB is going to switch tribe members before the merge, just like he did in the African Survivor... ...any speculation on whose going to be the switchees and what ripples it may cause in the current alliances? On a personal note, I like it when they switch tribe members. It really shakes things up and can turn the top dog to the underdog in one swift move!!

I don't think there is going to be a merge. Jeff said last night at TC, after they voted off Colby, that people were already plotting for "when and if" there is a merge. Makes me think it's not happening.

ITA Tish, I bet they have a very late merge, if any. If that is the case I can' wait to see their faces when they realize they voted off a strong player LOL

Chapera is such a 'love tribe' they can't even choose somebody to go to the other tribe! Rob will try to appoint someone. Amber will not want to go and will try to find a way to keep from it. Alicia will keep her mouth shut about going until someone points a finger her direction, then she will go if they choose her. Jenna will voice her opinions about who goes. Rupert will want it to be fair to everyone and want to devise a fair way to choose. Mogo Mogo needs to get together and choose as a complete tribe. Lex will want someone he trusts to go and will consult with Kathy and ShiiAnn to decide who will go to the other tribe. Kathy will have her own agenda but will go along with Lex. ShiiAnn will listen to Kathy and possibly Lex and may be the one who goes. Jerri will not want to go and may not be considered. Ethan may be appointed to get rid of him or may not be appointed to keep him close for the next tribal vote off. Tom will do a jig. Wouldn't it be something if MB decided to bring in other previous players to compete in the 'family/friends' competition and let the new player compete for the player's spot already in the game, sending the loser of the competition home. That would really blow a hole in alliances.

ROTFL sounds like a soap opera, Urgrace! The twist may be something silly but to merge when they all expect it would be toooo easy. How about they make a switch of ONE tribe member each week?? That would really skew alliances and wheeling/dealing completely up. For instance, what if everyone Except Rob wanted Amber to be next to be switched...they would outnumber him. The scramble to realign yourself with the new tribemates would be "good tv"! JUST a THEORY!! :-))

Maybe they'll somehow pick again (like when Jenna and whoever had to take turns picking...was that Rob??)- I know they aren't meeting seperately, but maybe the ambassador person will have to pick 2 or 3 people to come back to their tribe with them. That could be fun because they wouldn't know who the other tribe's ambassador would be taking from them. Hasn't Jeff made that same comment before when people start thinking too far ahead (post-merge)? They'll have to merge eventually...what if one tribe only had one person left cause they kept losing and the other tribe had lots of people left? It might be later though, or maybe somehow they'll twist the merge to be a little different (I have no idea how though).

How about Individual Reward challenges but TEAM Immunity challenges? ** This could be interesting if individuals won reward as they have to CHOOSE someone to share it with them (usually). It is at this time that other tribe members start realigning and changing strategy, imho.

Wouldn't it also be cool if whoever wins immunity could share it with someone else as well. That would definitely make the alliances transparent.

They could just keep reshuffling the teams, like they have done on Apprentice and never merge, or merge at 4 Sasha, that would be very interesting!!

Personally I like the twist the House of Dreams has come up with!! The person the "group" votes to elimanate, gets to pick someone to go too!! So two leave!! It smashed a powerful alliance!! (this way MB could start with more survivors, knowing in the end they'll leave 2 by 2!!) lol

Oh my gosh, Reader. You may be onto something. Didn't this Survivor start with more players than usual? And yet I've heard the participants saying it's still 39 days. Somewhere along the line they may start eliminating more than one person in each round.

I think if they do a late merge, they would have to merge at five. Say each tribe gets down to 3 people. When one tribe then goes to TC and votes someone out, the only way to get the other tribe down to 2 members is to ensure the other tribe goes to TC next. There's no way to ensure the other tribe loses next IC without blatant fixing of the game. Sooner or later they would have to merge. You can't have two people on one tribe voting for each other...

I really like the idea of the evicted person taking someone with them!! I would have loved to have seen the look in Jerri's eyes when Colby snatched her along for the ride to loser's lounge!! That would have been priceless... But..one question...when someone quits, would they have to choose someone to quit with them??
