This should be a fun week for predictions, as the game seems to be in a potential fustercluck (heh, Mark the Chicken joke). Of course, we all know who the winner will be. That’s obvious.
Medevac Scenario Game
This is it. The final week of our little game to ensure we don’t end in a tie. And also, because we’re running out of ideas. You decide the winner of the week, thus the winner of the season.
Who had the better week 9 evac scenario?
- Andy: Joe's mind is literally blown by strategy discussions (75% Votes)
- John: Julia's face is attacked by a duck while duckfacing (25% Votes)
Total Voters: 57
Current score: Andy 3 John 3
Predictions
Andy: Now that the coast is clear to do so without the fear of facing a majority, Julia is ready to flip. After all, why challenge the guys and their idols when sticking with them gets you in the final five against two of the most beatable players anyway? So she brings in her friend what’s her name, and she even gets to pick her target: the woman who tried to vote her out pre-merge: Aubry.
John: Aubry, Cydney, Joe, and the rest of their alliance have to hope that they can get numbers on their side. So next week they get Julia and Tai on their side and split the vote between Scot and Jason. But Joe remembers Aubry’s plan to vote Julia last time and thinks that’s the plan this time. Jason plays his idol, and Scot/Jason/Joe vote Julia out of the game. (None of this will happen).
Emma: I really have no idea where the vote is going next week. This season has been interesting, but a total strategic clusterfuck. Seems unlikely that any of the guys will go home because they either share a super idol or are a total non factor (Joe). So I guess I’ll pick Cydney because the guys targeted her last time. I hope I’m wrong.
Mark: Prepping for another blindside this week. (Oh, and continuing my unlikely trend of backing the right horses on this site). I think Cydney‘s number is up. Remember the backfire comment? If Julia flips, Obvious Winner Michelle needs an obvious ally and has the potential to be swayed with the Super Idol out there. If Julia goes with the girls, they will likely get screwed in some fashion by an idol. And who will the guys keep targeting? Their old Brawn friend. The girls plus Joe would still have a 4-3 advantage, so flushing Idols now will be key.
Matt: So this seems like it could go two ways. The first way is that the girls could bite the bullet, vote against the guys, the superidol is played and the guys pick their target. In this case I’d say that Cydney is their target based upon last week’s vote. The other way it could go is that the girls don’t want to do this, because Cydney (and Aubry) don’t want to expose themselves to the possibility of being idoled out for the greater good (which is totally understandable). So instead they pick their target they want out from their own alliance. In this case, I think there are two choices. Either it is Julia who they were worried last week was a weak ally. But voting for Julia might land them in a 4-4 tie and that is non-ideal. The other choice is Joe. The reasoning behind Joe is this: Julia stays with you as it keeps advancing her position, and it doesn’t expose the people who are actually worried about being idoled out to a vote. The problem with voting out Joe is that it doesn’t solve the damn super idol problem! There is a third option: Tai is lured away from the guys and they just vote out Scot or Jason, but I don’t think that is happening now. And I don’t think the girls are willing to bite the bullet yet, so basically I am saying it will either be Joe or Julia and I’ll say… Julia.
