This ad keeps showing up during daytime TV, and a few things have stuck out to me after listening to it over and over. We've had some key alliances revealed:- The Power Trio - Artis, Abi, Pete
- Final Five - Power trio + Lisa + Skupin
We've also been previously shown Penner as the Dead Man Walking in prior promos.
The other person we're being shown in this preview is Jeff. That could mean Jeff is being targeted...or that Lisa is trying to get him into a plan with her. Both could be considered shockers to target instead of the dead man walking, but which one would be considered a move that could turn Lisa from a final five member to a potential champion?
If the Final Five stays together, then Skupin and Lisa know they're 4th and 5th. But if Lisa wants to make a move that could help her win, she'd need to move on the Power Trio. So since she's talking about blindsiding him, she could be referring to Pete or Artis.
Penner will go along with anyone else being the target. Malcolm and Denise would love to break up the original Tandangs to improve their standing. But that's still a 5-5 tie. Jeff and Carter would be needed to make sure there's no tie. Jeff could see the benefit of breaking up Tandang and getting rid of 2 IC threats in the process.
So basically, we have a group divided like this:
- Artis, Pete, Abi
- Skupin, Lisa
- Malcolm, Denise
- Jeff, Carter
- Penner
It could make sense for some of the pairs to get rid of that trio, and then there would be plenty of prospects to take power. Each of those pairs could see an opportunity, so this would be a great time to make a play after one of those three.
