I find this thread one of the most interesting and intriging on this board! I haven't visited any other spoiler sites, so I'm just going by what I've read here.

Re: Jud and why I think he will get a landside jury vote.

I found the quote from Marty that "he was just starting to realize Jud's strategy" very interesting, and I was wondering what that strategy was. Marty seems like a student of the game and would know all possible strategies played before. Could it be that Jud has been holding back not only his mental ability but also physical.

For example: When the 3 returned from reward, Jud asked Chase in a very quiet way, "how was it Buddy"..and Chase said something like "oh it was great"..to which Jud replied.."it was a rhetorical question dude"...Chase "huh?" and Jud goes on to explain what he meant...not as stupid as he has been playing up.

He goes on to explain how Chase had been on 4 rewards, and he hadn't been on any and he was just jealous. My theory is that Jud NOT winning reward challenges has been deliberate because his strategy is to NOT put that big ole target on his back..the other people can't be jealous of him, and he hasn't had to make the tough decision of who to take, thereby he hasn't had to alienate anyone.

But now at F6, with no HII to hide behind, and no more reward challenges..he will not hold back and win the most important challenges. His gameplay of not showboating, not been sucky, not alienating anyone, and hiding his mental and physical abilities will gain the respect of the other players.

Jud will get all votes even Holly's and Naonka I think.
