Time to predict another unpredictable week. |
Anyway, let's get into this. (Image credit CBS)
Power Rankings
Last Week: I put LJ in spot five, while Ciera had him at 7 and Gordon Holmes at 2.
Total Score: I now have 66 points.
This Week:
1: Spencer
The closer and closer we get to the end, the shinier and shinier Spencer's flawless edit is looking, and the more and more worried I get that this season is going to have a predictable winner. Couple that with the fact that Spencer still has an idol and (at least according to last week's votes) is back in the majority spot, and I think we can assure Spencer's safety for this week...sadly.
Chance to win: 1st/8
Jeremiah is a lesser threat than Spencer or Tasha. |
2: Jeremiah
I think that at this point, the other castaways have firmly identified Jeremiah as a lesser threat than Spencer or Tasha, and he's been pushed into obscurity. Spencer's right hand man is also safe this week, but be alarmed if we start to see a plethora of confessionals from him.
Chance to win: 8th
3: Kass
It's hard to envision a scenario in which Kass goes home next; the only plausible scenario I can come up with is if she has an extremely volatile reaction to being blindsided by Tony, which is not out of the question. Even though she, Trish, and Jefra are down in the numbers, alliances seem to be more fluid this season, and as Tony said earlier, alliances are built on trust, not numbers.
Chance to win: 6th
It's unlikely that the Ninja will go home. |
4: Woo
Anyone seeking to target Woo will try to go after Tony first, so it's unlikely that the Ninja will go home. But hey, Tony could win immunity, or he could find the OPHII. You never know.
Chance to win: 5th
5: Tasha
Even though we've seen very little from her, the other players have clearly marked out Tasha as a big threat to win the game, and this would seem to be very true considering the current jurors. With Spencer possessing the idol, I think that Tasha is the most likely candidate from her alliance to get the boot this week if Tony can somehow revive his alliance, a prospect that I find unlikely.
Chance to win: 2nd
Tony has a strong relationship with Trish. |
Trish is the figurehead of a dying alliance, so why isn't she at number 8? Well, first of all, I think that Tony has too strong of a relationship with Trish to want to send her home. They've been together since Day 1 as outsiders on the Aparri beach. And Trish will hopefully have enough sense to get over the blindside and continue to try working with Tony. Even if she fails, she can always talk to Spencer in the hopes of sending her longtime ally home.
Chance to win: 3rd
7: Jefra
Jefra's as big of a threat as Jeremiah is (the remaining Beauties are really boring, huh?), but she's on the outs. To make matters worse, she doesn't have as close of a connection with Tony or Woo as Trish does. Plus, she didn't meet or play with Tasha or Spencer before the swap, and it's clear that Jeremiah has forsaken his old tribal alliances, so Jefra has nowhere else to turn. Her closest ally was LJ, and now that he's gone, she's a sitting duck.
He's played hard and he's played to win. |
8: Tony
Tony may try to get rid of Jefra, he may try to vote out Trish...he might even target Spencer or Kass. But at the end of the episode, when all the dust's settled, I think it will be Tony himself who finds his torch snuffed. He's played hard and he's played to win, but big, flashy moves just aren't going to cut it this time. We already know that Spencer doesn't trust him, and now he's alienated his former alliance as well. If neither Spencer or Trish want to work with him (and they could actively target him), Woo and Tony will find themselves gone very fast.
Chance to win: 4th
Auction Results
Things are going from bad to worse for my team in this competition. Ethan hasn't lost a single player since the merge, while I'm down to two: Spencer and Trish. And Tasha won immunity last episode as well. Let's hope for a Trish immunity run and a Spencer/Trish final two, shall we?
Things are going from bad to worse. |
Marcus:
Spencer Bledsoe
Trish Hegardy
Total Score: 8
Ethan:
Tasha Fox (+2)
Kass McQuillen
Jeremiah Wood
Jefra Bland
Tony Vlachos
Woo Hwang
Total Score: 4
I have a feeling it'll be a great episode. My prediction: Spencer, Trish, and Tony are the main players, with Kass as the coveted swing vote and the rest as loyal votes. Check back tomorrow night to see who comes out on top, and stay tuned for my episode recap!
