Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 27 Episode 6 "One-Man Wrecking Ball"

Tom's Take:

An amazing episode








Tadhana (+10 points)



1. Hayden: (52 points)

Hayden comes out pretty good with the tribe swap as he is on a powerhouse Tadhana tribe. The three original Tadhanas seem solid enough, while the Coconut Bandits are ready enough to turn on Aras that if they do go to Tribal, he should be good. I'm seeing a five person alliance forming from this Tadhana group of people who have lost their loved ones, and I'm seeing this as probably the final five.

Prediction: Winner
1st Episode Prediction: Winner
2nd Episode Prediction: Late Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Late Juror
4th Episode Prediction: Early Juror
5th Episode Prediction: Early Juror
6th Episode Prediction: Late Juror









2. Ciera: (50 points)

Ciera has lucked into an amazing position. Her tribe shouldn't go to Tribal until the merge, and then she's going to be the forgotten Tadhana post merge. I think she goes with the Coconut Bandits and ends up in the finals with them, although that might just be wishful thinking on my part since I'm in love with the Coconut Bandits. 

Prediction: Finalist
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror

3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
4th Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge

3. Caleb: (51 points)

Caleb had a quiet episode, but I think he's going to go far.

4. Aras (82 points)

Wow. So this episode has put Aras in a lot of danger. I think he'll make merge, and he'll team up with his brother, and Tina/Katie, but they won't be able to take down the power couple of the Coconut Bandits.

5. Tyson: (120 points)

Tyson cracked me up from start to finish on this episode. I freaking love the Coconut Bandits, and I am going back to my Tyson winner pick! Everything about Tyson made me cheer him on in this episode, and he mentioned getting to Day 39. The only question is if it's too early to take out Aras, and whether he'll be able to get the Tadhana Three to his side. I'm saying yes it is. But we'll see. Anyways, it'll be great to watch.

Galang  





7. Tina: (80 points)

I think Tina masterminded Kat's elimination as a way to keep Vytas/Katie, so that the three of them can take over Galang. Of course that wasn't really shown, instead she was shown being more of a Dawn and simply leaking info to Monica. I think the way she is being shown as not being fully "with it" helps support my theory that her alliance won't triumph over the Coconut Bandits, but she'll go after Aras/Vytas.

8. Monica (73 points)

Monica continues to get a strong character edit, which makes me think she'll go pretty far. With Brad gone, I think she'll end up supporting the Coconut Bandits and their team of singles. She could be the third finalist instead of Ciera, but we'll see.

9. Kat: (47 points)

Kat had a confessional about how you shouldn't gametalk too much. Then she got caught up in gametalking too much. Irony.

10. Laura B.: (57 points)

I think Laura B is the easy boot, which means, she'll probably go next week?

11. Vytas: (65 points)

Vytas had an amazing episode, even though I don't really think he deserves full credit for surviving this episode. He survived, despite being the odd man out, and he was articulate and commanding that Tribal Council. Vytas is still someone I think has a great chance of winning this game, and it really is between him and Tyson in my mind. I'm sure I'll switch between the two several more times until their rivalry comes to an inevitable end.

Prediction: Finalist
1st Episode Prediction: Late Juror

12. Katie: (15 points)

Katie is reunited with her mother. They're the only active pair in the game, but Katie is still our silent player.

Redemption Islanders





13. John: (44 points)

John Survived! I'm still predicting he comes back into the game, and is promptly revoted out of the game.

Laura won at Redemption Island, but I guess hidden immunity idol clues just get thrown in the fire these days.
