Episode 2: The Mayan Gods

[Jeff Probst]

Well I decided before the game if 2 people did return, especially the winners they're going to need some help. By letting them pick their tribes they will probably be able to stick around a while and really sink into the game.

As for the Tribal Break downs:

Nakum:
Ruthie, Bobby Jon, Blake, Morgan and Stephenie are all active and should be a good challenge group. I don't remember anything about Amy and I would think she might be the first to go should Nakum screw up in a challenge. But I think this group won't see tribal council right away.

Yaxha:
Billy, Judd, Brooke and Brianna are all strong and on the high end of activity. Rafe beat everyone in the first challenge and Jamie seems to be active. So we'll see how well this tribe does. I am guessing that Rafe/Jamie would be the first to leave in this group.

Naranjo:
The people neither winner wanted...well Jim, Margaret and Brandon are people that I have a good memory of. Lydia, Cindy and Brian....not so much. I am guessing this tribe will see Tribal Council the most out of the 3. I will venture to say that Brandon and Jim will be working together alliance wise. Brian and Margaret were 2nd and 3rd in the first challenge and I know Jim can be strong. First boot maybe Lydia/Cindy?

[Bobby "Bob Dawg" Mason]

I agree on Cindy possibly being the first boot for Naranjo. However, in Yaxha, I highly doubt Rafe will be an early boot there because Billy and Judd seem to really like him. I'd pick Brianna or Brooke as the first boot there simply because I heard Brianna plays really sneaky at times. And Nakum, if they lose, I'd say Amy or Blake because he seems really rude sometimes.

[Tina Scheer]

wow

this is a great advantage

I just hope they didn't made the mistake that they want to vote anybody in their tribe. They should have 1 or 2 people that may be next.

Well I don't think we will see them eliminated soon. but who know.

[Austin]

i think the orange tribe isnt going to do well but they could be the underdogs and might win. you never know. i feel ruths team goinf far and i tihink two of them will be sitting in the final two.

[JP]

The tribe with Brian, Cindy, Lydia, Brandon, and Jim seem to have the weakest tribe however, I always root for the underdogs. And I will be rooting for them. I really like Jim and I really like Stephenie, those are the only two that I actually like. And I have to disagree with Austins comment. I do not think that Ruth Marie or Billy will make final two yet alone both of them.


Ruth Marie's tribe seems to be the strongest but Billy's will surely give them a run for their money and you neevr know maybe Jim will work wonders with his weakling tribe.

[Jeff Probst]

I still stand by what I said in the first round. Ruthie and Billy should both make the merge, how far they manage to go after that I don't know.

Since we've had a little time to get to know everyone I think everyone should take a stab at who will be the Final 4 and who will win.

FINAL 4:
Bobby Jon, Billy, Brooke, Morgan

WINNER:
Bobby Jon


Random but I could see it fall into place I guess. So we'll see.

[Bobby "Bob Dawg" Mason]

FINAL 4:

Judd, Rafe, Brooke, Brianna

WINNER:

Judd

I really like Big Judd, he's probably my favourite this season. WooWoo.

[Tina Scheer]

If thewy merge as 3 tribes it gotta be a real advantage for the small tribe

so one of them could made it far as an underdog and win

[Sally Schumann]

I really like how the tribes turned out. 2 really powerfull tribes and one that is somewhat pathetic. lol I normally would root for the underdogs but I would rather see them lose so the inactives will get booted first.

Here are some thoughts on the tribes:

Nakum
Ruth, BJ and Steph are in a great position in the tribe. The only trouble I see is if they boot Blake first that could hurt them in challenges and send them back to TC. Either way, Ruth, BJ and Steph will survive to the next shuffle/merge. BJ seems to be pinning his hopes on Brooke which might be his downfall.

Yaxha
This tribe will be the most interesting to watch. Billy and Judd are in a great position but I could easily see a coup happening in that tribe. I think Jamie and Rafe are going to know they are on the bottom rung and Brooke seems like a smart player who could rally them together. Brianna seems like she will do whatever it takes to keep herself safe and might join up with Brooke's gang. I honestly think there is a very good chance that Billy could get the boot if they head to TC.

Naranjo
The tribe of misfits. They will definitely head to their share of tribal councils and will probably drop Brian and Lydia first. I think Jim and Brandon could become very valuable members of one of the other tribe's alliances later on down the road.

Final Four Picks
I think that the power players are going to be surprised by the rise of the underdogs. Brooke will lead Jim, Brandon, Rafe, Brianna and Jamie to the F6

Brooke, Brianna, Jamie and Brandon will be my F4.

Winner
Brooke!

[Courtney]

I'll say

Ruth, Rafe, Steph and Bobby Jon

Winner:

Rafe

[Tina Scheer]

One of Naranjo will win

it's my guts feeling

Final 4

Jim, Brandon, Steph and Judd

winner: JIM

[Danielle]

I think it will be

Rafe,Steph,Brianna and Judd final 4

and Brianna will be the winner

[Aras Baskauskas]

Prediction

Judd, Brianna, Steph, and Rafe.

Winner
Judd

[Jeff Probst]

Right now in the challenge 16 people have submitted....Yaxha is 102/108 points and they are mathematically immune, as for Nakum they are waiting on Steph and if she submits they take second with 102 points as well. As for Naranjo they are waiting on Brian, but if he does submit they will only have 96 points. So for Naranjo to win immunity Brian must submit and Steph must not. So it seems that Naranjo will lose and Brian will be the third person voted out of the game. But Nakum could I guess.

[Sally Schumann]

Let's hope that the mysterious Brian goes home.

We'll give you a mulligan for casting him, Rob. JK
