I completely agree. A swap is a double edged sword but if played well, could save an otherwise doomed tribemate. I would think that Jonathan, injury notwithstanding, will benefit from this particular swap. Chances are if the favs had to go to TC this week, it would be Jonathan's head on the chopping block courtesy of Cirie et al.

So, story arcs: Here they go:

The swap will inevitably save someone like Gina and/or doom someone like Aaron.

One or two castaways could be evaccuated, but one is only out if they cannot show up for the next challenge or TC. It was common in Africa to give time outs to castaways who needed IV drips for dehydration.

I'll list everyone alphabetically since the tribes are swapping. Since there were even fans and faves, there may not be the same sense...

I think that the Final 3 agreement that was made in episode 3 will hold. If Alexis does win the Final IC then Cirie would be the odd person out because Parvati and Amanda are tight and there is no benefit for Alexis to vote with Cirie to force a tie. If Ozzy makes the Final 3 then he will win this season ( especially with 2 fans on the jury that idolize him). Alexis is being touted for Final 3 because she has been visible even though she is not involved in any major story arcs. But in each...

I think Amanda or Alexis could stand out once they go to individual challenges. I could imagine folks jumping to vote off Ozzy and such after the merge, and one of them slipping in with some individual immunities.

I don't know why people are still putting Alexis into the probable final 3. She's an underdog in that situation. In what circumstance would an underdog, able to get past 4 other favorites, not win if up against two favorites, even if one is one of the most favorite people of all time?

Then again, someone like Amanda is just fluff. She has no substance and therefore would be seen as just flapping along behind the winds of Cirie and Parvati.

And if Alexis were to be...

There isn't much reason to exclude Amanda from the F3 discussion. The rumor of her being removed from the game seems questionable at best. If she isn't removed she'd likely dominate challenges vs the rumored remaining contestants. If Alexis makes F3 I'd wager that's because she wins the F3 challenge. I can't see the Fave's carrying a Fan. The vote would be very similar to Guateamala.

From game play I'd take take Cirie over Amanda and Parvati...

It's almost certainly Cirie/Parvati/Alexis or Parvati/Cirie/Alexis. One thing the F3 has done is made 2nd place into something worthy.

Boy, are they editing Parvati like a winner! Having just watched most of the first ep. again on You Tube(LOVE U TUBE!), Parvati gets the winner(or finalist, certainly) opening quotes. "I'm gonna play no holes barred." "In the first season, I was just edited as a flirt. I had no dimension. I am here to win." That's her million $ quote right there. And then of course we see her throwing herself all over James, more or less undercutting everything she has just stated...

Despite the hint in the preview, I don't think Jonathan is one that Eliza talks about as being in danger of losing his leg. While painful, that didn't look like leg losing injury. I think it is Chet who gets evacuated and Eliza is talking about him post-swap. He's the big ball of goo.

This Jonathan saving twist seems a lot like the Gina saving twist of S4.

And James will have some use in the beginning days because they are going to be on the fans beach which needs some serious work on the shelter. James is nothing if not handy with that machete. (to bad he has to leave his axe behind)

Have to disagree about Kathy now being in a better position. Before although she may not have been the most popular, she had an allience of 3 with one power player in the group (Tracy) who was looking out for her. In the swap she gets seperated from them and is stuck with Jason who has obvious dislike for her.

Although Kathy does seem to love the faves, she is going to be on a tribe with none of the one's she's had interaction with. She's probably a James fan although...

Now that we have tribal switcheroo, I'm going to look at who will benefit most, and who will be hurt most.

Benefit - I think Kathy will benefit because she likes being with the faves. Her game-playing morale is low, as she didn't even TRY to find the idol. I don't think she cares about winning at all. Still, she isn't overly weak, and lately she hasn't been all that annoying (to viewers), so that's why I go with Kathy.

Hurt - I think James will be...

I wonder if jurors will consider everyone equally, though. For example, if the final three was 1 fan and 2 faves, one might believe that the fan deserves to win, since they made it this far without the benefit of previous Survivor experience.

Or, when weighing two faves, one might reward the one who "shows improvement" over their original season. If Parvati plays exactly the same flirt game, but just lucks up to F3 just because Ozzy/James are stronger players than...

She's good at schmoozing her people, she's also good at pissing off those outside her alliance. Cirie has was more game in her pinkie than Parvati, so does Amanda for that matter.

Re: S16 HalfASS Ep. 4 Story Arcs

feeds@yuku.com (tullfan2) — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 08:23:11 GMT

It's Pazrvati's game to lose. She is on the tribe with 3 of the 4 fans that are supposed to make the jury. She will have about 10 more days to bond with these fans than Cirie will have once the merger happens. If she doesn't piss any of them off (and she probably won't since Parvati is good socially), those 3 fans along with James will vote for her to win. Thats 4 out of 7 votes and that is enough for Parvati to win.

Re: S16 HalfASS Ep. 4 Story Arcs

feeds@yuku.com (Kirblar) — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 23:40:15 GMT

Since the story is telling us it's either Parvati or Cirie, those are the two to watch down to the endgame. So which would you vote for?

I think the vote might boil down to if Parvati engineers James' boot or not.

Re: S16 HalfASS Ep. 4 Story Arcs

feeds@yuku.com (Jedijake) — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 23:22:46 GMT

This season has pretty much come down to a very simple storyline. It's Parvati and Cirie's story with Amanda as the little doggy wagging her tail, doing what she is told.

Parvati and Amanda have their men and there's a mystery of the "biggest blunder" which we can probably assume will have to do with Ozzy, if not actually be Ozzy.

So it boils down to how Cirie can wedge between the couples.

All fans are out of the running and their stories...

Awesome episode! A lot revealed.

The Next Losers:
JOEL: Does one of his tattoos read "STANLEY" because this guy is a 100% Grade-A TOOL.

And Kudos to TRACY for reading and playing him for the Head of Meat he is. Playing on his insecurities about Mikey and making him make the BONEHEAD move to save her alliance when Kathy and Chet were such obvious TOAST. Now Joel has TWO Underdog alliances of 3 to juggle. Good luck with that, HONKING THREAT with an ego...
