"Staying out of the limelight....."
I'm putting this idea here cuz I don't want it on the main forum....

The winner of this game is going to be one who can distance him/herself from the dynamics of the newly formed Balboa tribe.

Keeping a low profile is going to be critical I think.

If a player can avoid all the hoopla around Jon, avoid creating unstable alliances (or joining them!) and keep a positive attitude (even if they don't win any IC's--- I don't think they even need to win any) then they can go to the end, and if not, very close.

The two players I have in mind here are Ryan Opray and Tijuana. Both seem to fit this bill.

Also, watch for Lil, who is certainly a controversial player but also has the situation right to go far.

Let's see how this unfolds, but the dark horse I think is Ryan Opray.

***RYAN W.***

I would be less upset with a RyanO victory than say a Jenna win. But I think to be realistic, RO is as a dark of horse for S7 champ as Al Sharpton presidency in '04.

Well, I'm Canadian and am not really up on Al Sharpton, but my ex knows about him and told me he has no chance..... (this from an ex city councillor!) But do you really think that Ryan O. has no chance as well? Hmmmmm..... I think Ryan O. is stronger than that, and could take the whole thing.

It will be interesting to see how this develops.

Ryan

Its true that one has to fly a little under the radar, but here are some reasons why that won't work for Ryan.


1. He's a guy - and typically the tribe votes the guys out once there's a merge (Andrew being a good example). The threats go first.
2. He's on the minority tribe - Morgan. Unless someone suddenly becomes more annoying, he'll be the NEXT to go because he's a guy on the Morgan team.
3. He doesn't have any value to the tribe, if they really were stuck on an island they'd probably eat him. The guy can't even fish.

That being said, I personally love the guys voice. Makes me weak in the knees each time I hear it. I'll be sorry to see him go.

Yes, didn't he finish as the highest Moron in the first IIC?

*** OK, but if you feel he doesn't add any value to the tribe, then how is he a threat? He probably won't win any IICs, and if he DOES keep a low profile he can't really hurt anyone.

*** That will only happen if the gals gang up on the guys, but it is a possibility! About someone becoming more annoying-- well, noone in my survivor office clique likes Darrah, they think she is annoying and we feel that if she doesn't keep a low profile she's dead in the water thus making Rhino's position stronger and it much harder for the gals to get him.

*** Yep, but if Rupe gets burned, then he'll have to step up to the plate. He's very strong, attractive and if he can fill the gap after Rupe goes, he's in good shape.

*** You'll hear him for a while longer I think. And yes, he probably has the best sex appeal of anyone left in this game (even Burton.)

Darrah is the real under-the-radar player.
Even though Rhino is under the radar, he won't win just because he's a guy. He'll be a bigger target anyway. But I think he's the best player this season. If only there hadn't been a resurrection twist, he would have won.

While I do agree that Darrah is the real under the radar player, I'd also say that she's in the minority team right now, so unless alliances break apart - like Rupert being gone so there is no 3 some (S, C and R)- then she doesn't have a prayer and will be voted off 3 or 4 weeks from now depending on whether T or her goes first.

That being said. Drake has a history of jumping out of the gate too soon, so voting off Rupert may be just as bad an idea as when they voted off Burton. Turn Karmic wheel turn

Yes, the Drakes DO have a history of shooting first and asking questions later, so where do things go if they can Rupe?

Well, I suppose this would help Rhino provided he remembers enough of what Rupe taught him during his stint on Morgan....then he'd be a useful contributor to the team while still being able to fly under the radar (ie stay out of the inevitable controversy that's going to develop!)

But is that enough for him to win the whole thing? I hope so, as he's my guy in the office pool.

It would hurt though if the gals gang up and systematically destroy the guys (not exactly an impossibility at some point)...

Heck, there's still a long way to go and at this point it seems that anything could happen, but go Rhino go!
