I posted this in my IC and Who goes polls and have brought the idea to some regular non-spoiler board people who thought it was plausible, so I'm gearing myself up to be flamed.The title of the Episode is "A Tale of Two Cities" and we are probably looking at the story challenge about the two rival tribes and Kathy's choice, but would this have been enough information for the writers to come up with that title. "A Tale of Two Cities" by nature is thought of as a story of sacrafice. That's the first thing I think of, so why use this title if sacrafice is not involved.
The switching immunity over hasn't been seen yet (and may never be). I agree you'd have to be a moron to do it unless you have something to gain (or something you don't wish to lose). We've been bombarded with "get rid of Neleh" for 2 full episodes now. That story has to go somewhere and what better a place than the opportunity for sacrafice.
In classic MB misdirection, we see Pappy falling during a challenge. Timeless times that this has happened, that person wins. In posts from ages ago, people strongly supported the story-telling challenge to favor Pappy.
We see Kathy going to tribal council w/o backpack.
Snewswer gives us the bootee.
We are left with no surprises on a very pivotal episode? Possibly. But to fit the title and the editing of the story, I think Pappy winning Immunity and trading it to Kathy for her vote is a very likely scenario. For things to get ugly, there must be some question as to who Kathy is going to vote with.
It has been speculated in the past that Pappy wins IC and gives it to Neleh to save her, but this would leave his head out on the chopper. So why not Pappy winning Immunity and passing it on to Kathy for her vote. We've seen how paranoid Kathy can get and it wouldn't surprise me that she'd fear being tagteamed by the 2 smaller factions.
Kathy has even stated she needs to break up Pappy and Neleh so we know that its been considered. A gift of Immunity can very well be the sacrafice that keeps Neleh in the game.
I started a new thread because I think the walk to tribal council pics were taken as a guaranteed "Kathy wins IC" and other avenues were not looked at. Since they know they can transfer Immunity, I don't see why they wouldn't do it before they left for TC, which would put Sean in an uproar, because he'd know his goose is cooked and his only defense is to hoot and holler "Foul"...
I'm more in favor of a Kathy win, but wanted some feedback on this idea from the legends..
