I too had considered a Gota visit to TC. Bikal is ahead for most of the challenge and the tease of Tribal Unity versus Tribal Division leads me to believe that the unified tribe indeed performs better.
Alas, most of the press photos (outside of challenge shots) are of Bikal camp. Add to that the tease for an Ep5 Blowout, the proposal of targetting Corrine AND Brandon's promise to burn the camp down "if we lose" leads me back to thinking somehow Bikal loses the IC.

Laura's admission of being a challenge liability does not take into consideration that her and Sherri are tight. They are often seen together and in those moments are often grooming each other, so I seriously doubt that after losing Shamar that Sherri would even remotely agree to getting rid of Laura.
Julia is an unknown and she is a lot less productive in challenges but again, I just can't see what is left of the majority alliance on Gota choosing to boot Julia.
If they were willing to lose Eddie last TC (by splitting the vote between him and Hope) they should be just as willing to do it again the next time they visit TC.

I wouldn't read too much into the survivors facial expressions as...
The Gota lose the RC but look at how happy Shamar, Reynold and Sherri look in this cap...

AND this one where Brenda has literally turned her back on the challenge...

Eddie is probably frustrated only because it is soo close between the tribes and Reynold happened to miss. But he is tossing again, so the challenge is NOT over yet. (Classic misdirection.)
