I think that Matt will win the love from home, as we heard in his confessional, he will do anything to win today....Matt wins~Mike second~Rooster third~Steve fourth. I don't know who is going to sacrifice, most likely Matt will for the others?
I haven't figured it out regarding the Murlonio's there, so don't know who is going to sacrifice out of them, and how they can win the love...
Regarding the IC. I think this tough, brutal, very physical challenge on a very hot day will mean that either Rob or Grant is going to win it. We see Rob at the top of the challenge, apparently in agonizing close defeat....but is it defeat? I question that it is. I think the challenge involves adding one tread at a time from the missing 3 sections of treads. I think there is a puzzle portion that has to match up just so in order to place each one. I think this additional requirement may help Rob, who's already worked this type of puzzle plank in the challenge that had them digging up axes, chopping logs, sawing through 2X4's etc.
Now, for the boot story...Andrea was identified as the first of the remaining Ometepe's to go last week by Grant and Rob. Ashley and Nat were aware of this. The promos made me think that Andrea is not going to go this week. So, if she weren't going this week, something has changed from last week. I think that something is that Grant is vulnerable without the necklace.
Many think that Rob would kill himself by voting out one of his core 4 before Andrea and Phillip. But, Rob is not the only one out there. They are down to the F6. It's me or you time. As emydi noted, they are all vying to be Rob's Amber....
At least that's what I believe they believe. Ashley, Andrea, Phillip, and Natalie all know that they cannot beat Grant. If they do not vote him out now, he's likely to be Rob's Amber...he'll challenge whore his way into the finals. I would be willing to say that Rob wouldn't even need to vote out Grant, but everyone else will.
We hear Rob talking in the shelter as well....one of us will go to RI. That's a fact! He's turned to Grant as he notes this. Phillip is the misdirection. Rob is the misdirection.
Jiffy told us it would be a blindside. Grant is Rob's number 2, so yes, I think he will feel blindsided...
Grant is an ex-professional player though. He's a competitor, he will get it...I'm sad though, because I would like to see Grant make it to the finals...;-(
Or, if Grant wins this challenge, then Andrea will be toast, imo.
And, for Krautboy, I'll bet that Amber is there for the family visit....if we are betting on that!
ETA: Changing to original prediction that Matt will win...Matt first, 2nd Mike, 3rd Rooster, Loser: Steve
