Yahoo!! Someone finally gave me what I was looking for!! I completely agree with your second theory. I was just waiting for someone to think of that. I had been reading the boards all day and I hadn't liked anything I had seen...except of course the mallbrat bashing, that's ALWAYS a plus...But I honestly think that you have something there. Both teams seemed equally pissed about the tree mail, which I think would not be the case for Samburu if THEY got to choose which of their own members went hiking over to Boron. But, having the other team choose which member they want to take from the other team is absolutely delicious!! That's why Lindsey was like, "Oh My God!" HAHAHAHAHA. See ya later tater. If Boron chooses any one of the mall brats (Which I think they would because Boron is lacking in the young and strong area) then they are screwed. Ahhh, my dream becomes reality. Thus, the new Samburu tribe would be pitted once again at 3-3, UNLESS the new BORON member chose to ally themselves with the brats...but the OFA knows that the Food Court Club has votes against them and will use that for all it's worth. Some little snares though for all to contemplate: The tribes will have to consider a few things when deciding which member of the opposing tribe they should treat to a new home.

1) Which member would be least likely to stay allied with their old tribe and the most willing to form a new alliance with their own?

2) Do we want someone who is strong to help us keep winning challenges, and take an asset away from the other team or do we want to take someone who is weaker that we can get rid of without feeling badly about it?

Just some thoughts from a weary mind on a Friday afternoon...Ugh...6 more days to go...this is agony...
