IMHO:

I think the BL, BR, and BT will all happen in the next two episodes.

Big Lie: Jeffy said the big lie is something one person told everybody else and they believed it. I think the preview about someone making a "stunning" confession while looting the other tribe is the big lie. Personally I'm still in the Jon tells the big lie camp. But Andrew is a close contender for the big lie because I think he knows his tribe sucks and is hoping to get in good with the members of the Drake tribe. (How can you have a strong alliance when your alliance partners can't win? Michelle knows all about this!) Did anyone catch Andrew's longing looks at the Drake camp as he left on the boat?
*Edited to add a thought I had while sitting at my computer staring blankly into space obsessively contemplating THE BIG DAMN LIE*
Maybe a member of the Moron tribe (possibly Darrah or Osten who were not impressed with Rupert) tells the BL to the Drakes about something Rupert said while he was at Moron camp. This could be the reason for Rupert's boot and nobody would know it was a lie until the episode aired.

Big Regret: This I believe will come about with the booting of my Ruppie Doll. I think his tribe will betray him and he'll get the boot, his tribe anticipating a merger. When a merger doesn't happen as they "expect" it to, then they are going to regret it as they will consistently lose the comps. If Drake does boot my Ruppie Doll I am seriously going to go pirate all over their ass! Bashers here I come!

Big Twist: I think the idea of a "ghost tribe" is a good one. I read on another post (I'm sorry I don't remember where) that the early speculation was that the colors of the tribes were aqua, orange and black. The tribe names were Drake, Morgan and Balboa. (I think it was a Snewser spoiler) If Drake boots their care-taker and strongest player Rupert, thinking merger time then Jeffy springs it on them that not only will there not be a merger, but there is going to be an additional team to compete against. The Drakes will give a collective "What the..."

I'm wondering though if there has been any talk of Rupert being part of the "ghost tribe"? So far Lil has been the favored pick on returning, but what about Rupert? This is the only glitch in my musings, if Rupert is booted, why has there been no talk of him returning?

Joyful thinks that if Rupert goes to the LL it won't be the LL anymore. It will be the EALERL. (Everybody's a loser except Rupert lodge).
