This is the first time in all of Survivor that they have had back to back IC's to show the "true alliances" or "alliance pecking order". JP called attention to it last week, but did not say anything this week.

Kill or be killed was as much of an alliance buster as last weeks coconut dump. This week we got a good hint of Burton's true F2 alliance as well as his pecking order.

Purportedly he made a deal with John to be F2 with him, when in fact Burton only plans to use him to get himself and Lill to the F2. Last night he waited for Rupert to take out D, and then Burton attacked and knocked out: Rupert, (John then made short work of Christa) Tijuana, Sandra, John, and then finally Lill.

Many people think that John would be the perfect F2 opponent because he is such a snake, when in fact the opposite is true if Burton or Lill face John in finals since they are both "ghosts", and since John can show evidence that he outlasted and outsmarted them all. Burton's best hope to win the game is if he brings Lill with him to finals, since then the others have no choice but to vote for a ghost and Burton would win that match up hands down. I also think that when he made the commitment to not lie to the other returning ghost back at TC being voted back into the tribe, he meant it. John afterall has already backstabbed Burton once, and I do not for one minute think that he has forgotten that.

All in all, the plan is a good one, but I believe we have not seen all of the shifting or dirty dealing yet either. If John is keen enough to see Burton's true plan, it could easily spell trouble for him.

Christa and Burton both seem to be vulnerable, John and Sandra will continue to adapt to whatever they need to do to stay in the game, and D and Lill will slide through all the dirt...

I think your on the money with these as the tightest F2 alliance and yes Burton would win the do$h if he was against Lill.

LiLL on the other hand has made no pledge and has shown she is willing to play the flip flop game and deal with the regrets later. I think Lill will become the snake and as spoilers suggest and this will take her to the F2 which I dont think she can win regardless of who she meets. Even Jon would probably end up getting 4 Winner votes ( Ryno, Rupert, Christa, Darrah IMO ).

Jon has been portrayed as a villian but I think Lill will end up being the least preffered as she continues to loose more points from her Good Conduct Award Badge in the coming episodes.

A Lil-Jon final 2? Another "who do you hate the least" finale.

I would not be surprised to see Rupert vote for Lil.
He showed a real affection for Lil, and she only stabbed him in the back once. Of course, there is that Drake loyalty, and her ghost status.

Burton promised to vote for a ghost, but who knows if he'd actually deliver. Christa could go either way, depending on how the endgame plays out.

The only sure vote I see for Lill would be Sandra. Jon is probably her sworn enemy for life.

I think Ryan, Ti and Darrah would all grudgingly vote for Jon because Lill doomed the Morons when she voted with the Dreks to oust Andrew.

That's three for Jon, one for Lil, and three on the fence. Odds might be in Jon's favor.
