would it be really 'shocking' to Michael if he gets booted, now that he's been publicly outed as a threat?I could see that Michael could go. But, he's in nuSalani and while it looks like nuSalani is the dominant tribe that could pick off nuManono. What would be "shocking" is if nuSalani picks off one of their own before picking off all of nuManono. Michael, as the big powerhouse who is not in the core 4 or female, fits the bill perfectly. But, as Pepe points out, he was outed last week by Jonas at TC to be the most physically capable person out there....and, it was noted by his performance at the RC. He received 2 votes by others for being the most likely to go on an IC run. Therefore, I don't think him being a target is shocking, nor would I consider it a blindside for him....he's got to have his radar up after TC.
We KNOW that the girls are planning on targeting him, as we hear Kat note that he's got to go ASAP in their discussion when half the tribe is away on their reward, as VG noted. Kat brings up Michael. Then, most likely, when Kim and Sabrina return from their reward, Kat fills them in on them wanting to vote out Michael. Then Kim tells them that if we do this it will never be the same....
So, clearly it looks like Michael will be the target of the girls. But, will something happen that forces them to choose another? Will Michael win the IC? If he does, who will they then choose?
Long story short....Michael for me would not be a blindside, nor do I think he would be surprised if they go after him as well...
