Regarding the family visit. It makes no sense to me that the RI winner of the Quadruel would be the one to sacrifice so that the remaining players in the game, the Ome's, could see their families. Of course he'll choose to sacrifice his visit so that the other on RI can visit with their family. I think that the Ome's will be playing for the chance to see their family member as well, there is so much more at stake, perhaps, than "just" the IN. They may not be told this until they arrive at the IC...
I also think that there is a chance that Amber will be there. We see that the family members most likely will not be participating in a challenge, so why couldn't Amber be there? You know the producers are going to want her! She's a WINNER! Blackwhale was fed a load of BS, so I don't think he really had anything. If she's about 6 months pregnant, than it's still ok to fly, especially if she has had an uneventful pregnancy. If she indeed has had an uneventful pregnancy to date, I see no reason other than she couldn't leave her other little baby at the time, for her to be there. I'm holding out hope.
I do have some doubts, however, because if she were to be there, don't you think that they'd really pimp it?
I also thought to discuss something else in here. I noted last week in the SOTS that they have to start thinking about booting Grant. If the occasion should arrive that he doesn't have immunity, then they better consider it or he could literally run over them to the finals. If I were Rob, the best way I could come up with to boot Grant would be to boot him while playing the HII. Get everyone to vote for him, yet tell his trusted Natalie and Phillip to vote for Grant....Rob plays the idol, and Grant gets the boot. So, the perfect time to boot Grant would be when he or Rob do not have the IN...in a perfect world. Grant could not fault Rob for playing the HII to save himself. Sure he might be a little pissed that Rob didn't confide, yet it underlines that he's playing the game for himself, first and foremost, and how can you fault someone for that.....
Just putting that out there.
