jeff knew, look at his last commentI don't have the exact quote, but first he chastizes them for going into a merge weak (and you know they tailor IC to encourage a 5-5 split with the merge, I still have my mike from S2 theories that he was paid to burn his hands).
The he brings back up silas' comment about this game always changes, and foreshadows that Silas was correct in that assumption.
Boran = strong, Samburu = screwed.
As much as the game should dictate a "too bad" approach, that is not good tv and MB won't let them die of thirst. Look @ the pity rice from S2, for a flag...anyday of the week. Samburu is toast...Water is completely necessary. Look for an early merge of resourses, but not of tribal lines(livng as one group, but still samburu and boran)
