Episode 5: New Tribes

[Jeff Probst]

New tribes! Yay! First thing I thought was that Nakum would be stronger in challenges, but we'll see. Can't wait for new confessionals

[Tina Scheer]

The "New" Yaxha:
Amy
Billy
Brandon
Brooke
Jamie
Morgan
Rafe


The "New" Nakum:
Bobby Jon
Brianna
Cindy
Jim
Judd
Ruth Marie
Stephenie


I think Nakum will be stronger

Billy may be a goner. Let's see

[Jeff Probst]

Nakum:

Bobby Jon-Cindy-Jim alliance, then there is Stephenie and Ruthie....so the question is what Judd and Brianna are doing. I can see Bobby Jon taking out Stephenie....considering Brianna and Steph weren't in the "Pyramid". But I don't think they'll see T.C. for a while. Will Judd want to keep Steph around because of Billy's ties with Ruthie and Ruthie's ties with Steph? Maybe Brianna will go bye bye.


Yaxha:

This is a very random group.....Brandon and Brooke are together. I can see Bobby Jon trying to have them take out Billy. But maybe Billy can persuade them to boot Amy for challenge reasons? I don't really know how this group will turn out.

Nakum

I agree that Steph and Brianna are the two most likely boot possibilities. BJ is in total control over this tribe. Judd is in a better position that he realizes and should just lay low for a while. I don't think Ruth will have any problem throwing Steph under the bus if she feels she has to. Brianna's only hope is to keep talking to Cindy and gain some trust there.

Yaxha

This tribe will be completely unpredictable. Jamie, Rafe and Amy barely say anything in their confessionals so it's hard to judge where they really stand. I think the first person to step-up and try and organize something will be key. Brooke and Brandon seem like they are too worried to try something bold so I will guess that they cuddle-up to Billy and boot Amy or Morgan first.

Dearest Prediction Writer Lounge, forgive me for being so pitiful in my writing duties. However, I spent alot of time reading today and I'm extremely excited to be back in the swing of things.

First of all, I will agree with you that Nakum looks much stronger, but things never happen the way they seem. I am going to pick Yaxha to do better as a tribe. Nakum seems to be very split. Like someone previously said, there are about three or four different little groups within that one tribe. I never thought I would like the villain but Bobby Jon is absolutely incredible. He is one of the best players in the game and I'm really curious to see if Ruthie and Billy have the intelligence and the power to overthrow him. It should be interesting.

I'm really getting excited about this game now. What an amazing cast! I love it!

[Bobby "Bob Dawg" Mason]

I also would like to apologize for my somewhat lack lately. But I've been sick since Sunday night and it hasn't let up yet.. I will get to about what I think of the tribes eventually. Probably tonight sometime.

[JP]

Well I love the Tribal Switch, it should be very intresting the way things work out.

I like the Nakum tribe much better because Stephenie, Cindy, and Jim are on that tribe. I also have a new person who has been creeping up to my favorites for a while and that is Boby Jon, he seems to know exactly what he is doing and he might achieve exactly what he wants.


Well here is what I think of some of the people right now.


Billy, Morgan, Rafe completely safe if their tribe goes to Tribal Council I believe.

Boby Jon, he knows what he is doing, and I was extremely glad to hear that he waants to allign with Cindy and Jim.

Jim, he is a very smart player. I am not sure if it is the best idea to try and lose the challenge, which I believe he made mention to in his confessional. He is aware that Brianna is good at challenges and might use that for a reason to get rid of her which is good for the future.

Cindy, as much as I live this girl. I was thrown off guard when she said that Billy was not smart at all. I think she is underestimating him big time. Brad and I both know what Billy is capable seeing that we were both brutally backstabbed by him and yet we still gave our final vote to him at the final TC. But I agree with Cindy when she said he should not have won CI, because I should have! Ha ha, just kidding BIlly deserved it.

Judd, he seems to be in a good position in his tribe because there has been mention that the BJ/Cindy/Jim alliance and the Ruth/Steph alliance are both going to offer him deals. He is freaking out about his position in the game at this moment though which will be intresting to see how things go with him.

Brianna, she seems to be the person that will be voted off if Nakum loses an immunity challenge.

Jamie, he got lucky that he is on a tribe where he is in the majority. If I was Brooke and Brandon I would traget Jamie.

Brooke and Brandon, they seem to be in danger if they find themselves at Tribal council. I am not sure how I feel about them at this point, but I want the BJ, Jim, Cindy alliance to work out and I think they need Brooke and Brandon to make their dream a reality, so we will see how things work out.

Ruth Marie and Steph seem to be in okay spots. I think RM is in a better postiotn than Steph.



BTW, Fellow Prediction Writers if anyone makes it to All-Stars here and I do as well. We need to get rid of Bobby Jon as soon as possible!

[Tina Scheer]

YAXHA

I agree with Host this one is random

Billy starts in this tribe with an huge target. He must be really good on the challenge.

Nakum

I think RM, Steph, Judd are gonna ally. All is on the shoulder of Brianna. It's gonna be very interesting to see what she will do

[Jeff Probst]

So if Brianna gets booted, then we have Bobby Jon-Cindy-Jim vs. Stephenie-Ruthie-Judd?? Shouldn't someone atleast use her for a round before they dispose of her?

Ruthie:

hopefully we can get Brianna out. I don't really trust her... at all.

Bobby Jon:

Here are the boot orders for both tribes as I see them now (number one will be going first...number two second...etc.):

Nakum

1- Brianna

But then again Brianna doesn't realize her position so she's not even going to try and cut a deal with a side.

[Bobby "Bob Dawg" Mason]

I think the best idea would be for one of the groups to get them to side with her and make her vote with them. It seems like the most sensible thing to me, in all honesty. Then vote her out after that.

[Jeff Probst]

I think Bobby Jon/Cindy/Jim are all unaware that Judd and the girls may get together, I also think that Steph/Ruthie/Judd have no idea of Bobby Jon/Cindy/Jim have a plan. That's why everyone is willing to toss Brianna under the bus.

Here's what I think will happen. Bobby Jon-Cindy-Jim-Brandon-Brooke will all make the merge after sucessfully picking off people like Brianna, Morgan, Jamie, and Stephenie. Once the merge happens Ruthie and Billy are toast unless they win some challenges. Judd, Rafe and Amy will be voted off somewhere in between.

Now if the Final 5 groupies actually make it I think Brooke will try to take out Bobby Jon....then you have Cindy waiting in the shadows to make her big move. Jim will go with Brooke's plan. So Bobby Jon might be de-throwned by the pupils. If the Final 4 was Brandon, Jim, Cindy and Brooke it would come down to challenges...which I would say Cindy and Brooke would most likely win. Ultimately I think Brooke will take the game.

[JP]

Hmmm...


I really hope the final five consists of Brandon, Jim, and Cindy. I love them all dearly, but I would not mind that much if Brandon was not apart of it. I think I am rooting for Cindy at this moment.


So Jim was talking to Brianna and telling her than both him and Cindy were voting out Ruth Marie, that was a shocker. I wonder if it will actually happen.

[Brad]

Well, I'm really disgusted at the way this is going down. Quite frankly, I believe its because I played in the game that Brooke and Bobby Jon got to the final two in and I know how obnoxious they can be some times. I dont think anyone in this cast (other than Ruthie and Billy) are smart enough to make something happen and take them down and their numbers are just growing. I'll just be honest: I do not want to see BJ and Brooke in the finals. Nonetheless, I'm confident they will get there. They are both really good players.

Anyway, I'm hoping Yaxha keeps on winning. I'd like to see them go on a streak and make Brooke and Bobby Jon squirm a little bit. I'd just like to see them work to stay in the game rather than just talk around. Jim and Rafe seem to be really neive people to me. Bless his heart, Jim has no clue about whats about to happen to him. Oh well...

I love watching this all play out! ;D

[Bobby "Bob Dawg" Mason]

Yuck... I'd hate that Final 5.

Juddinator's gotta be there for me to even consider liking it.

[Brad]

Yeah, I'll just be pleased to see one or both winners make a run to about the final four. That'd be interesting! I'm definitely in their corner! ;D
