Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 27 Episode 3 "Opening Pandora's Box"

Tom's Take:

Our third episode of Blood vs. Water was a good one. The Locker Room Alliance turned on each other! Brad got called out! Colton quit! And once again the Blood twist played out with great drama as the brothers faced off in a physical showdown with quite a bit of history behind it. And is it just me or, did Vytas get a super sympathetic edit from this? He's playing a good game, and he's getting an awesome edit. I'm feeling more and confident in my new winner pick.

1. Hayden: (19 points)

Hayden got the line of the night, and was the narrator of the critical vote tonight, which shows that Hayden is in a power position. He's not getting a ton of confessionals, but that's because he's not a great confessional wit, and the fact that he's getting any show's that he's going far in the game and he's going to have a lot of power in the game.

Prediction: Winner
1st Episode Prediction: Winner
2nd Episode Prediction: Late Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Late Juror






2. Vytas: (26 points)

Vytas is letting Brad be the figurehead for the alliance, and kept calm in the background. Meanwhile Vytas is getting an awesome edit, as he plays a great game. I am really confident that he's going to win this thing.

Prediction: Finalist
1st Episode Prediction: Late Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Winner
3rd Episode Prediction: Winner



3. Ciera: (13 points)

Ciera is in such a terrible spot, but she continues to get air time. I don't know how she's going to get herself out of this conundrum, but the edit makes it look like she will.

Prediction: Finalist
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror





4. Katie: (2 points)

Katie is our invisible player.

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



5. Caleb: (5 points)

Caleb didn't get much air time either, but I'm putting that down more to the season being crowded and his loved one causing so much drama on the other tribe. Caleb is being quiet, but he's playing a good game and in a good spot. I'm thinking he might fail to make it to the end though based on no air time.

Prediction: Early Juror.
Prediction: Finalist
2nd Episode Prediction: Finalist
3rd Episode Prediction: Late Juror



6. Brad: (36 points)

Brad is playing way too hard, and he's going to force his alliance to turn on him sooner rather than later. He's a great TV presence though, and I'm loving watching him.

Prediction: Early Juror
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror

Wow. That happened sooner than I thought it would.

Galang (+10 points for winning immunity)





8. Gervase (49 points)

Gervase cheers on his niece, and continues his rivalry with Brad. Not much else to say about him in this episode.

Prediction: Late Juror

2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Late Juror


9. Tina: (43 points)

Tina beat her daughter as part of Survivor's Mom Squad. She and Aras are the ones pulling the strings behind the scenes in my opinion.

Prediction: Late Juror
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Finalist



  

10. Aras (51 points)

Aras is playing a killer game. He's a former winner, and no one seems to be targeting him. I assume he and Tina are running the Galang Tribe, and once he meets up with Vytas he will become even more powerful.

Prediction: Late Juror
1st Episode Prediction: Late Juror
2nd Episode Prediction: Finalist
3rd Episode Prediction: Finalist


11. Tyson: (53 points)

Poor Tyson. I really felt for him in this episode. He injures his shoulder on top of losing his girlfriend. That hurts, and I'm rooting for him hard. But I think Aras will cut Tyson for his brother once they hit the merge.

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



12. Laura M. (41 points)

Laura kicked her daughter's ass. Mom Squad for her.

13. Monica (43 points)

Monica is playing a quieter game than her husband. And I think she'll make it much further.

Redemption Islanders




17. Candice: (25 points)

Candice is winning at Redemption Island, and I think she may last long enough to come back.

18. Marissa: (19 points)

"Fuck you Brad Culpepper" equals a great moment in Redemption Island History.

Rachel gets points for making sure Tyson stayed in the game.
