OK, I rewatched last week's episode. I watched the preview videos. I made my picks. Pink has gotten me way over thinking this thing. I'll probably blow it big time this week.
1) I don't think they are going back to the kissing thing this week. There could be some smooching. However, they made such a big deal out it last week that I just don't think the producers are going to right back to it. Plus, the couples both know it puts a target on them and I think that will cool the romance this week.
2) Favs have fishing gear now. The producers like long shots of Ozzy out on that boat. I'm betting he catches fish this week.
3) Loud mouth factor: People who run their mouths get more camera time. More camera time means more chances for kissing, singing, coconut chopping etc. Players that I think will get a lot of face time this week? Cirie, Mikey B, and Joel.
4) Malakel tribe dynamics: There's a 4/4 split in the favs tribe with Cirie as a swing vote. That's getting a lot of play in the video previews this week. A lot of people are speculating that could mean they are going to tribal council (source: CBS message boards).
So I have
Ozzy. I'm willing to risk tribal council for fish and I think he's safe from elimination anyway.
I'm taking
Joel purely on the face time factor and if he goes to tribal I think he's pretty safe. I'm putting him down for coconuts.
I picked
Mikey B (see Joel).
I would take Cirie because I think she will be on camera a lot, but I don't think she will do anything for me in the bonus points area. Instead of Cirie, I'll take one more fan and hope they do get immunity. I think that's going to be
Alexis just because I like her game right now.
30 minutes! Game on peoples!
