I'm rather late doing this - been thinking about it for days. This is another opportunity (like PTTE) for someone - or a few people - to come out looking like geniuses.

In this thread we will pick the Final Two, and then we will predict the vote of each of the remaining seven jury members. I suggest using the following format:

Subject line: Keith vs. Tina, or Colby vs. Keith.
In the body, write your vote for each jury member following their initial.....example:

Subject: Tina vs. Colby

Message:
A: Colby
J: Tina
N: Colby
A: Nick
R: Tina
E: Kucha
K: Tina

Tina wins.

Good luck and have fun.

4-3 Tina wins

Edited to switch Alicia and Ambers votes, and to add these comments: I consider R,L,K votes for Tina a given, J vote for Colby a given, N for Colby almost a given. Amber and Alicia are the wildcards. The general assumption is that Amber will do whatever Jerri does, but I don't think that is necessarily so. She gained some independence after Jerri was booted. She saw Tina save the rice while Colby slept in a warm dry cot with a full belly. Alicia on the other hand had little first hand experience with Tina and Colby, and she and Jerri became friends. I could see her being swayed - although I 'm not 100% on her vote. "Go Kucha" - Kuchas may try to vote all together, thereby at least getting to choose the winner.

Bottom line is, Colby did great in challenges, giving him more food, more good rest, a new car, a visit from mom...while the others were busy actually "surviving". Tina's save of the rice should win her big points.Colby won the challenges that he should have won, given age and athletic ability, as well as better fortification. I like Colby fine, but Tina is the more true "survivor" in this game. I know this is my opinion, but I am betting/hoping that some of the players see it that way.

The Colbster takes it 4-3.
This is the one I think will happen.

My speculation on the other combos:

Keith v. Tina
A: Tina
J: Keith (the lesser of 2 evils)
N: Tina
A: Keith (same logic as J)
R: Keith
E: Tina
C: Tina

Tina wins...but Alicia would be the swing vote who could give it to Keith.

Keith v. Colby

Yup. That would look rather ugly, I think.

Unanimous! Tina.

The perfect ending to a perfectly played game. Tina gets zero votes during the game and all the jury votes to win. America loves a winner...

Just to clarify: please only pick one final two combination. This makes the guesswork a little more challenging.

I have no idea why we get a colby, tina final... but I get the feeling it happens.

Well, let's see:

Alicia - Tina
Jerri - Tina
Nick - Tina
Amber - Tina
Rodger - Tina
Elisabeth - Tina
Colby - Tina

Tina wins it in a 7-0 sweep! Even though Colby won four IC's in a row, he can't win the crucial final one... and Tina still finishes a perfect game with not a single vote cast against her, while picking up ALL the jury votes! Tina rules!

Am: Colby
J: Colby
N: Colby
Al: Colby
R: Tina
E: Tina
K: Tina

A- Keith
J- Tina
N- Tina
A- Keith
R- Keith
E- Tina
C- Keith

Keith wins!

Alicia: Colby
Jerri: Colby
Nick: Colby
Amber: Keith
Rodger: Colby
Lislis: Colby
Tina: Keith

Colby wins, 5-2

I think T/C have a pact to go all the way together. Assuming C or T win the last IC, they will stick together no matter how tempting it might be to go with K. Neither will go back on their word because, among other reasons, being perceived as a liar will loose them votes.

R: Tina - Christian coalition
E: Tina - She protected Liz in TC several times
K: Tina - She jumped off the pole for him

AB: Colby - Tina voted her off
N: Colby - They are buds
AC: Colby - she respects his strength
J: Colby - I’ll guess Jerri still has a thing for Colby and sees Tina as the bigger back stabber.

Keith: Tina Respects her loyalty to him. (And never really cared much for Colby).

Liz: Tina Respects her maternal strength. (And has tried to make up for the vote by saying what a great guy Colby is on her tour).

Rodger: Tina Respects her faith. (And she's a neighbor after all).

Amber: Tina Respects her rice swim and resents Colby beating her in her last RC effort. (And maybe THIS is why Jerri and Amber aren't friends).

Nick: Colby Respects his funky ass. (And they've traveled together).

Jerri: Colby Respects his man-thing. (And didn't know he betrayed her).

Alicia: Colby Respects his athletic prowess (not to mention her new girlfriend, Jerri's, opinion).

Tina wins 4-3.

Ooooh watch out everyone there's a "crack" in the alliance. Yeah, maybe; If crack was slang for millionaire.

First, thanks for those who helped speculate the voting in this thread.

There were five people who chose a Tina vs. Colby final, with Tina winning. They were:

DangerKitty
Cass12
Play2Survive
40thandUp
Kokoro

However....BIG congrats go out to 40thandUp for picking 6 out of the seven correctly, including Jerri's surprise vote for Tina. The only vote missed was Rodgers.

Thanks all - it was fun.
