Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 29 Blood vs. Water 2 San Juan Del Sur Episodes 7 and 8

Tom's Take:

These two episodes in the merge were awesome! All season long, Jeremy and Josh were set up as the two power players of the season, and over these last two episodes this pair clashed in a furious battle that in all likelihood decided the winner. Now let's delve into why Jeremy came out on top!











Merged Tribe









1. Jaclyn


Jaclyn made the right choice in convincing Jon to vote out Josh. They got out a really good player, and joined the weaker of the two alliances, which gives them room to play going to the end. Do they take this chance and play the Rob Cesternino flipping game? The answer is no judging by how bad she seemed to feel about voting Jon out.


1st Episode Prediction: Early Boot
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Boot
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Boot
4th Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge
5th Episode Prediction: Late Juror
6th Episode Prediction: Late Juror
8th Episode Prediction: Late Juror









2. Baylor


I am 100% on the Team Baylor train, but this episode pretty much slammed shut any chance Baylor has to win the game. But I think she's going to get to the end, since she's in a strong alliance, and even though she won't get any votes she'll be there with her mom.


1st Episode Prediction: Winner!
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
4th Episode Prediction: Winner!
5th Episode Prediction: Late Juror
6th Episode Prediction: Runner Up/Late Juror
8th Episode Prediction: Runner Up



3. Jon


Jon found an idol! My god, Jon is a potential winner in this game. I don't think he does win and considering how invisible Jaclyn was in the beginning of the game, she won't get there, but Jon does have a chance based purely on what we're seeing.

5. Missy


Missy is a good player, but she's too loyal to Jeremy. That's going to hurt her in the end, when he's trashing her and Baylor at final Tribal Council.

10. Josh


Josh played a good game, but unfortunately he got stuck to a shitty alliance that alienated the key swing votes he needed to stay in the game.

11. Alec

Alec is the worst player currently in the game. The other thing is that I'm trying to figure out why the show keeps showing Alec/Baylor scenes. Is there a strategic reason? Is there going to be some payoff for the Alec/Baylor rivalry?
