LAST EDITED ON 03-13-02 AT 09:35 AM (EST)Alternate pick: Gina
I think the episode title tells us that the team with no pain does not gain. I think Neleh is the sweet-pee who provides the unusual assistance to her injured tribemate.
I do not think the Sean/Vee/Rob/Sarah alliance is a firm one -- I think they just all agreed to get rid of Patricia. Gina has been more useful to the challenges compared to Sarah, so I see Hunter and Gina able to convince Sean and Vee to vote with them this time. Vee will be the easier sell, and Sean will put his alpha male urges aside to do what he thinks will prevent the tribe's complete annihilation. He doesn't like Hunter, but he needs Hunter's strength in the challenges for his own survival.
I think Rob's strategy discussion from last time was very telling. Sarah is a vote in his pocket (among other things in his pocket), but he needs to make the decision on whether to stick with Sean or Hunter. I think Sean would be willing to go after Sarah this time because he thinks that Rob would choose him, and that would give Sean a 3-2 alliance...and the all-important core of 3 he could go to the end with.
edited to add a quick "Shame on you!" to all of last time's thread violators
