LAST EDITED ON 04-19-11 AT 05:16 PM (EST)If the final three are all Ometepe's and include Rob would the Zapatera's reward or punish him for his game?
The Zap's seem to admire Rob's ability to maintain total control over his tribe, even while being frustrated by it. Unless he behaves really nastily toward them from this point on, I think most would vote for him to win.
Will Rob continue to get a Russell edit and suffer the same TC fate?
I don't think he's quite getting a Russell edit. But I do think he will suffer the same fate.
If a Zap or Matt returns to the game from Redemption Island and makes it to the F3, would the Zapatera majority jury throw their votes their way?
I think they would vote for the Zap. With Matt I think it would depend on who else was in the F3.
Will David vote objectively or emotionally?
Objectively, I think.
If Matt gets to the F3, would his opponents argue that he never "Outwit" anyone and therefore is not deserving of the million?
Yes.
What criteria would the jury use to select a winner, if Rob was not one of the F3 Ometepe to chose from?
If it was clear that someone was primarily responsible for ousting Rob, I think that person would command votes. How people present their cases would be the main factor I think.
If Matt is on the jury, will he hold a grudge against his former Ometepe tribemates, and vote for a Zap instead?
I think he would vote for a Zap, especially if it were someone who'd spent a length of time on RI like Matt had to and then got back into the game. He owes nothing to his old tribe (though he might okay with voting for Andrea).
But I don't think Matt will be on the jury.
If Phillip makes it to the F3, would the jury believe that his strategy all along was to be the goat, who all would want next to them at the end?
Yes, I think they would, provided his demeanor totally changed and he didn't act nutso at all. I don't think they'd necessarily vote for him to win, but it's possible.
If Rob doesn't make the F3, would he argue against those who betrayed him, or respect their play?
It's hard to know because we've never seen Rob on the jury. Generally he'd be respectful of gameplay I think. I also think he'd point out the failings of those he didn't believe should win.
Which of the remaining Ometepe stand the best chance of winning, assuming that Rob is not sitting next to them at the end?
If you don't count Matt, my guess would be Grant -- not from his edit, because he doesn't have one, and I don't think he'll get to F3. But I can imagine people seeing him as nice and easy-going, and his prowess in challenges would be a plus.
