So how solid are the pre swap Borans? I mean it's not like Mamakim or Kelly or Clarence thought they were safe before the switch. They read the alliance as Lex/Tom/Ethan and us the hired help.

Lex and Tom have Kelly under their thumb in Sam camp for the moment, but what happens when Brandi and Lil Bit try to recruit her? I'm assuming that Brandi and Lil Bit will look to their own survival as soon as Silas is suspiciously in the Loser Lodge. Her survival might just improve, depends on...

MamaKim

She just assumed control in Boran camp and her right and left are Frank and Teresa. OFA just took over. Is she going to remain loyal to Tom, Lex, and Ethan, when she knew she was on the block next? I don't think it's a foregone conclusion. Is Clarence a target? or is Ethan? Maybe she'll sell Teresa to keep herself alive til the merge.

Its going to be about post merge now, even IC wins take a back seat. Contrary to Susan's column strong people are not that important anymore, as long as your voting block is better off with them gone.

So is it really a simple 6 versus 2 versus 3? maybe.

I think Clarence and Ethan are right to be paranoid, but I think
Samburu will "lose" next time so that Boran can find out whether they now own both camps. Bye bye Whineycow, I hope.

So the merge happens at ep 8 (one vote late) or ep 9 (two votes late)?

lets say the new Sam's caught on and get rid of Lindsay. Boran controls both camps but who controls Boran?

E/T/L are divided by camp boundaries. They are the favorites right now.

Kim and Kelly probably want to improve their positions in Boran
and forging bonds with former ememies might do it. If they do They could form a wild new alliance post merge, and screw ETL.

Of course what will happen is lindsay, teresa, clarence, brandon, frank, and kim will be picked off one by one and than will sweep immunity to keep Tom and Tom will get the million until Lndsay takes it from him in a sexual harassment lawsuit and marries Silas and they have dumb whining kids...

Its late, even in California...

Hope this spurs useful spoiling.
