i've been a fan of survivor since the second set of shows, the outback, and of all of the different groups this is the one where the voting patterns make no sense to me at all. the point after all is to get to the merge with numbers, and although you need to be watchful for the strong individual you need to carry at least a few to the merge to insure winning immunity and numbers in the merge.....and yet by enlarge all those types players are already gone....single events seem to determine who goes at virtually every tribal council without any really foresight.......but it does prove entertaining because unlike all the rest this one seems to be impossible to predict, there is no clear "favorite"....truly anyone still there coulkd concievebly win.......
