Episode 1 - "Goddesses Can't Have Diseases" from Brianna or Sydney

So this round shows who is gonna be active and who's not really committed to the game. Everybody seems to be active at this point even though one tribe had to lose. It's interesting that in spite of the fact that Brianna seems to be hated by the other tribes that she's still staying and controlling the votes along with Sydney. If i were the three others I would have banded together with the other people and get rid of either Brianna or Sydney. Because seriously, they are gonna be running things there if they allow them. It seems Michelle's fate is doomed and too bad because I think he could have been a great player down the road. He's one of the most unpredictable yet predictable person I've seen. lol does that make sense? How about you guys? What do you think?

My final 4 prediction

Julie
Heidi
Mick
Marcus

Tribe Frontrunners

Mariveles
Peter - If there is one thing I know about Peter it's that he knows how to play the game and he plays it well. He knows how to plan ahead and he usuallly keeps in his sight the people he sees as potential allies down the road.

Subi
Brianna/Sydney - These duo are controlling their tribe right now. They are safe as far as this tribe is concerned.

Namyit
Heidi/Jessie/Julie - These three are the people I see running Namyit atm. They are a deadly combination of girl power.

Itu Aba
Marcus/Nick - These two are trying to become the head honcho of the tribe. It's only a matter of time before one of them knocks the other. As to who will be victorious, only time will tell.

I agree with you on the Subi Tribe when it comes with the players in that tribe. I think several other players have noticed that Brianna and Sydney are working together. If only Michelle, Cecilia, and Cindy could have joined together to take control of the divas of this season. Since it looks like Brianna and Sydney will survive this round, they will have complete control of the next two TCs they go to as the Subi tribe. Brianna has Cecilia and Cindy rapped around her fingers and she can easily dispose them when she needs to.

Mariveles
I see Lex, Michael, and Peter as the three main players in this tribe.

Subi
Brianna and Sydney for obvious reasons

Namyit
Julie, Jessie, and Heidi. I like the the whole Female Power Alliance they have going.

Itu Aba
there's two different scenarios that could happen. 1st is that the MNM alliance will vote off Tyson for his lack of connection. 2nd is that Nick and Marcus will have a power struggle for control where one of them will be voted off.

[Tom Westman]

I don't think Marcus is aware of Nick plotting behind his back though, so if there is a blindside that will happen it will be towards Marcus.

[Vecepia Towery]

The 2nd challenge is definitely designed against players like Brianna and Sydney. lol

[Tom Westman]

Episode 2 - "Doesn't anyone love me" - Cindy

Well this challenge shows which tribes are getting along and which ones are not. It is clear that everybody hates the Bri/Syd duo lol. It would be likely in an event of a tribe swap that they will be both gone if they are not on the same tribe. In the meantime, I think Cindy is doomed. The duo wants her gone over Cece on loyalty issues. It is sad, I wish she could have stayed longer lol.

[Vecepia Towery]

wow, with Bri/Syd's actions, they are decreasing the chances of a female winner. Not only did they vote off another female(Cindy), but people are probably going to want to vote them off if their tribe loses the challenge. plus now Bri and Syd are separated so they are on their own. At least Syd has Cece, but this could give Cece the chance to make a move against her own tribemate

[Tom Westman]

What I like about Cece is that she knows how to make moves that will benefit her. She's so easy to get along with and people would keep her around as she would pose no threat to anyone. She is not afraid to make risks.

Episode 3/4 - "Ok, was that necessary?" by Nick

So these last 2 episodes shows the first twist this season where Subi got dissolved and they became divided into groups of 3 based on their season again. Some were happy, some were scared, some complained. But all in all, things went well for all people concerned. At least the winning people.

In Episode 3, The New Mariveles and New Itu Aba went to Tribal Council as the New Mariveles set aside tribal lines and unanimously agreed that Janet had to go. It was a different story in the New Itu Aba though, some people wanted to stay loyal to the old Itu Aba but Marcus had a different plan and wanted to keep the ladies around Thus came the first tie at tribal council this season has seen. But what was interesting was the revote where Cecilia flipped back and saved her old tribemate Sydney and help ousted Tyson in a 3-1 revote. It's possible that she only did that to avoid being purple rocked although I would have loved to see how that played out

Now onto Episode 4, so I had set up a live challenge, and it was astoundingly fast how Mariveles was able to get the challenge done. But they won it fair and square because all their members were on at the start of the challenge. Now we are seeing Namyit and Itu Aba back once again to tribal. Will Marcus still keep the ladies? Or will he go back to his old tribe and oust out the goddess. And in New Namyit, I wonder if Brianna will be able to get out this one as it may seem she is doomed for being hated. All in all, this was an interesting round.

[Jaime Dugan]

LOL at Marcus and Heidi. They both think they have each other around their fingers. It is actually amusing to watch unfold.

[Tom Westman]

i know

[Jonathan Libby]

wow Sydney owned!poor that girl.she really is a big threat.

[Vecepia Towery]

I really see Heidi out lasting Marcus. Heidi has her allies from her original tribe that will probably stay loyal to her. Marcus on the other hand have allies that want him voted off (Nick)

[Vecepia Towery]

wow, so far its a 3-3 tie between Brianna and Marcus. it looks like Eliza is the swing vote

[Tom Westman]

And Marcus goes home in a 4-3 vote. It was expected as Eliza and Marcus seem to have a past game conflict. That also means my final 4 prediction is flawed lol. So only 3 people left in my final 4 prediction.

[Vecepia Towery]

the problem with Julie's plan is that now she is on the outs of her tribe being separated from Heidi and Jessie. If her tribe loses again, they might just vote her off next. Julie will have to try to pull some strings or else she's gone. the one positive thing for her is that she has a spot in AS, so if she is voted off before the merge, she'll get to play next season.

the problem with Brianna is that once the merge comes, there will be more people who will want to vote her off. but you never know, she has been able to survive the Tribal Councils she's been to so far. It looks like she is comfortable with her current alliance of herself, Eliza, Cecilia, and Nick. When the merge does come, she might be luck to bring more people in to her side.
