Five Drinks Into Survivor Season 26 Episode 4 "Kill or Be Killed"


Tom's Take:


This episode sort of pissed me off. It was clear before this season even began that the Favorites would crush the fans, but I didn't think it would happen like this. I underestimated how strong the Favorites would be in the challenges, and now they're just steamrolling the fans. Shamar's exit was also a huge disappointment, and it feels like the pre-swap portion of the game has played itself out. I'm ready for a swap! The only hope the fans have honestly is Brandon Hantz, and the breakdown that he's going to have next week. 






So let's discuss our players! 




1. Andrea: 68 Points.

Not a lot of Andrea this episode, but with the Fans having been completely dominated I no longer think she even can be voted out before the merge.

Pre-Season Prediction: Early Boot.
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror.
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror.
3rd Episode Prediction Early Boot.
4th Episode Prediction: Late Juror.


2. Brandon Hantz:  94 Points.

Way to spoil thinks previews! Ugh. He was a great competitor though.

Preseason Prediction: Pre-Merge
1st Episode Prediction: Early Boot
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Boot
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
4th Episode Prediction: I think he's being taken out of the game next week.


3. Brenda: 62 points.

Brenda continues to be great eye candy. I refuse to believe she's going to be voted out anytime soon without even giving her any air time.

Preseason Prediction: Winner
1st Episode Prediction: Winner (but probably not for long.)
2nd Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge Boot
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
4th Episode Prediction: Late Juror



4. Corinne: 65 Points.

She got no air time tonight, and I still have no reason to watch Gabon.

Preseason Prediction: Pre-Merge
1st Episode Prediction: Late Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Finalist
4th Episode Prediction: Finalist


5. Dawn: 59

Another bad aspect of this episode was that we didn't get any Favorites gameplay, so I have no idea what to say about Dawn.

Pre-Season Prediction:Late Juror
1st Episode Prediction: Late Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
4th Episode Prediction: Early Juror


6. Erik: 55 Points

"The Silent One" pretty much sums up Erik's gameplay, but he's a challenge beast.

Pre-Season Prediction: Early Juror
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
4th Episode Prediction: Early Juror


7. Francesca: 29 Points.

HAHAHAHA!!! Funniest boot ever.

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


8. Cochran: 91 Points

Cochran hogs the air time either promising he'll make it far or the editors like their male characters more than their women. I think it's the latter to be honest.

Prediction: Early Boot
Prediction: Early Juror
Prediction: Late Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Late Juror.
4th Episode Prediction: Early Juror


9. Malcolm: 92 Points.

Phillipino Gollum. Haha.

Pre-Season Prediction: Finalist
1st Episode Prediction: Late Juror.
2nd Episode Prediction: Winner
3rd Episode Prediction: Winner
4th Episode Prediction: Winner


10. Phillip: 107 Points.

Phillip must clearly be bored and giving EVERYONE nicknames. The editors love him way too much for my taste, but maybe he'll get far enough to justify this.

Pre-Season Prediction: Late Juror
1st Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Finalist?
4th 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: 37 Points

He survived! And now there might be a guy's alliance?

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.

 Who?

Prediction: Late Juror
Prediction: Late Juror
Prediction: Late Juror.
3rd Episode Prediction: Late Juror.
4th Episode Prediction: Early Boot


15. Laura: 38 Points.

Ugh. This is my first major miss. I really thought she was playing well, but I guess her competition prowess or lack of really caught up to her.

Prediction: Late Juror
Prediction: Late Juror
Prediction: Pre-Merge Boot
3rd Episode Prediction: Late Juror
4th Boot


16. Matt: 24 Points.

I think Matt made the right move turning on Laura. But it won't matter in the long run.

Pre-Season Prediction: Early Boot
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror.
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror. 
4th Episode Prediction: Early Juror. 


17. Michael: 28 Points.

Michael is basically just getting complaining whining segments now.  

Pre-Season Prediction: Pre-Merge
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
4th Episode Prediction: Early Juror.




18. Reynold: 75 Points.

Reynold is dumb for playing the idol, but I guess he kind of had to. He couldn't trust Matt. I enjoy watching Reynold compete as a single force against the Favorites. Too bad he has no chance of winning.

Pre-Season Prediction: Pre-Merge
1st Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge
2nd Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge
3rd Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge
4th Episode Prediction: Early Juror


19. Shamar: 72  Points

I feel like Shamar quit. 

Pre-Season Prediction: Early Juror
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror.
3rd Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge Boot
4th Episode: He quit.

20. Sherri 60 Points

This episode saw Sherri's game spiral downwards, and I no longer think she stands a chance in the game. 

Pre-Season Predictions: Early Juror
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Late Juror/Finalist
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror. 
4th Episode Prediction: Early Juror.
