You make excellent points as usual eee.

I think Ghandia needs to be booted by her own tribe in order for the hatred toward the chef (in addition to Ted) to be as strong as she proclaims in her posts (of course... this is assuming you believe in the GDiva spoilers).

If the switch occurs in E5, Ghandia would be more likely to attribute any subsequent boot to the members of the other tribe, bad luck, etc (as we've seen people do in the past). But if she is booted by her own tribe, it will become a matter of "he-said, she-said" in her mind, and she will be outraged at anyone that doesn't "believe" her story about Ted.

This does make a lot of sense, but what I'm wondering is what if Ghandia survives episode 4 and gets switched episode 5 with say....Ted and the chef. If Ted and the chef were to join the SJ members on the "new" switched tribe and betray her by voting her out, don't you think that same hatred would be there, if not moreso?

It may be unlikely, especially because it would make more sense for any CG's switched with Ghandia to stick with her for the sake of numbers, but I don't always think these fools make a lot of strategic sense.

I have no idea, and I gave up trying to rationalize Survivor strategy after S3... in S2, nearly all of my posts had to do with what Colby and Tina thought would be best for them, and how that would affect the group. I honestly believe that their duo was the last pair of Survivors to think strategically, so I've simply given up that type of spoiling (which has, sadly, reduced my presence in the arena of Survivor spoiling greatly)...

See my point?

I'm not trying to argue with your logic, because I have been saying the same things, it's just I have a nagging suspicion about Shii Ann, and am trying to discount it before making any final decisions. Thanks for answering my question, the more discussion the better.
