Five Drinks Into Reality Television: Survivor Season 26 Episode 3 "There's Gonna Be Hell to Pay"

Tom's Take:


This episode set up some things and had an interesting mislead, but ultimately was kind of disappointing. 




So let's discuss our players! 




1. Andrea: 49 Points.

I'm sticking with my Malcolm pick so that means I have to go against Andrea here. Seriously though, I feel like she's planning on betraying Corinne too early. She needs to let her alliance breathe for a bit, plus she can't trust Brandon on sticking with her.

Pre-Season Prediction: Early Boot.
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror.
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror.
3rd Episode Prediction Early Boot.


2. Brandon Hantz:  76 Points.

Somehow Brandon got into the best position in the game during this episode. He's the swing vote in Andrea's plan to back stab Corinne, but I see him turning on her instead. Just how I see that going.

Preseason Prediction: Pre-Merge
1st Episode Prediction: Early Boot
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Boot
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror


3. Brenda: 45 points.

Brenda is hot, and apparently we're going to have to wait for a swap before we see any more of her talking strategy.

Preseason Prediction: Winner
1st Episode Prediction: Winner (but probably not for long.)
2nd Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge Boot
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror



4. Corinne: 50 Points.

I'm rooting for Corinne based purely on her aligning with Malcolm.

Preseason Prediction: Pre-Merge
1st Episode Prediction: Late Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Finalist


5. Dawn: 44

Who?

Pre-Season Prediction:Late Juror
1st Episode Prediction: Late Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror


6. Erik: 37 Points

He's not getting much air time...

Pre-Season Prediction: Early Juror
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror


7. Francesca: 29 Points.

HAHAHAHA!!! Funniest boot ever.

Prediction: Late Juror
1st Episode: 1st Boot!


8. Cochran: 71 Points

Cochran's downfall will be him going with Andrea. I think that will take him out of power, but his lack of challenge skill will allow him to float close to the end.

Prediction: Early Boot
Prediction: Early Juror
Prediction: Late Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Late Juror.


9. Malcolm: 70 Points.

Malcolm got a hidden immunity idol! Yeah!

Pre-Season Prediction: Finalist
1st Episode Prediction: Late Juror.
2nd Episode Prediction: Winner
3rd Episode Prediction: Winner


10. Phillip: 78 Points.

A part of me worries that Phillip is too well covered with everyone wanting to use him as a goat to take to the end. He is hilarious though, so it'll be fun to watch.

Pre-Season Prediction: Late Juror
1st Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Finalist?




11. Allie: 22 Points.



Boom. Nailed it.

Pre-Season Prediction: Pre-Merge
1st Episode Prediction: Early Boot
2nd Person voted out.


12. Eddie: 27 Points

Classy way to vote for Shamar. You are in a tough spot, and I don't think you have the smarts to get out of it.

Haha. You're in the same position this episode as last.

Prediction: Early Boot
Prediction: Pre-Merge
2nd Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge
3rd Episode Prediction: Pre- Merge


13. Hope: 32 Points.

Hope tried at least, although it was kind of pathetic.

Pre-Season Prediction: Late Juror
1st Episode Prediction: Early Boot
3rd Boot


14. Julia: 26 Points.

She almost made a move?

Prediction: Late Juror
Prediction: Late Juror
Prediction: Late Juror.
3rd Episode Prediction: Late Juror.


15. Laura: 32 Points.

I think Laura might be a player in this game. My theory is that her whole "plan" to Reynold was a sham to insure they voted for Shamar instead of Hope turning on Eddie when they split the votes. I'm gonna watch her in the future.

Prediction: Late Juror
Prediction: Late Juror
Prediction: Pre-Merge Boot
3rd Episode Prediction: Late Juror


16. Matt: 20 Points.

Meh. I think Matt has used up his air time.

Pre-Season Prediction: Early Boot
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror.
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror. 


17. Michael: 26 Points.

Michael might do well in this game, but we need to hear more strategy from him.

Pre-Season Prediction: Pre-Merge
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror




18. Reynold: 68 Points.

Reynold is sticking around, so good for him. He's not playing very well though.

Pre-Season Prediction: Pre-Merge
1st Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge
2nd Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge
3rd Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge


19. Shamar: 70  Points

Shamar needs to stop talking about quitting and get back to telling people to shut up.

Pre-Season Prediction: Early Juror
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror.
3rd Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge Boot

20. Sherri 53 Points

Sherri leads the Fan Tribe right now, but I have a feeling her alliance with Shamar is going to cost her in the near future. 

Pre-Season Predictions: Early Juror
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Late Juror/Finalist
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror.
