Looks like the dynamic of the merge will cause some shifts. Alexis getting close to Ozzy - breaks the 4 showmance. Ozzy is playing too and probably knows that he won't go to f3/f2 with Amanda so needs to
expand his alliances. Amanda is too strategic to go 'woman scorned' and exact revenge at the cost of herself. Alexis probably knows she has a side deal with Amanda through Nat and Parv but is seeking another
alliance anyway (spec I guess). Cirie isn't strategic - she...

It pains me as well, but i'm hoping that Cerie will pull it out now that they're all together again. This may go way back to the first boot of the season and Jonathan insisting on Parvati being the one to go. I think several of the favorites will rue the day they didn't listen to him. Cerie, maybe James, Ozzy ...

If Eliza goes next, it will be because she freaks out seeing Ami gone and activiely works with the fans for a powershift. But either Erik will stick with Ozzy or (more likely) Lexicat will stick with Parv. Lexciat are playing a Vee-like infiltrate and follow the power game.

Then's it's either Erik of Jason, because the Fave 5 are solid and don't want to level things 4 vs 4. I bet Cirie and Parv are spooked by Erik's closeness to Ozzy and take him out at F9. We saw...

OK. I'm calling it now. ERIK wins S16!

His arc is the Lion King. He was quiet in the first couple of episodes, supporting Joel when maybe he shouldn't have. While first Mikey then Joel gets killed and he has to sit idly by. Cast into exile. Barely surviving.

Now he goes into the Merge and lays low, while Ozzy and James become huge targets. Only to emerge STRONGER from the experience, allying himself with the Little People. (Timon and Pumbaa.)

After the merge, it would appear that Eliza is obviiously the target (now that Ami is gone) because Pavarti hates her and doesn't trust her and because of all the favs, it is Eliza who would be most likely to join the fans.

Erik and Jason have not had enough of any type of story line to think they will go much further. They are "guys" and I think the remaining woman will want them out before they take out their "protectors" of Ozzy and James. The woman...

Not sure I can buy Jason and Erik as the underdog edit; usually that elicits some bit of sympathy. Neither one is bringing out a sympathetic bone in my body. I am going with the dufus inexperienced edit myself

Yeah, I would have said Ozzy and Jason as overconfident male. Obviously, Ozzy has something to back it up, but they're both under the impression that standing out in challenges and killing food will result in winning a million dollars.

James is like a young Uncle Remus. He totes and haulswith brute strength, but also gives us gentle commentary on poor sick Eliza and poor half-dead fans. He doesn't act in any way to control his own future, simply waiting for that great day...

It was Erik. They both want to suck Ozzy's cock though.

It seems there are Three types of Story Arcs going into the Merge:

1) The over-confident Male Leader. Ozzy and James. Everyone sees them as targets, yet they think they have Lex-like powers to boot anyone they see fit.

2) The females who know they have the NUMBERS and can out the Male Leaders when they see fit. Cirie, Amanda, Parvarti, now Alexis and Natalie. An EASY ticket to the F4 for all five of them.

3) And Jason and Erik, the Underdogs. MB LURVES...
