I certainly think that Trish was, at Day 26 (the 'morning after'), more connected to Tony than to anyone else in the Solarrion camp. In fact, we've heard as much from her. But by then she had also spent fourteen of those days with Jefra (and with LJ). And I don't think that we've seen any indication that there was anything but a pleasant, cooperative relationship between the two women. So, in Survivor's immediate-intimacy environment, I wouldn't call that two-week relationship 'vague'.

But then, I wish I hadn't used the word 'stable' to describe a theoretical alliance composed of three Cancer, a Pisces and a Gemini when the word 'compatible' - as in naturally-connected - would have been more apt.

Cancer (Trish, Spencer and Jefra) are instinctively maternal (nurturing/possessive) individuals. So, their natural approach to alliances is familial - the environment that is also most comfortable for their cocoon-prone fellow Water Sign natives – Pisces (Tasha and Woo).

And, most particularly in Survivor’s culture of chaos and crisis, Gemini (Jeremiah) virtually require the shelter and calming influences of an attentive, settled alliance. In the Game’s history, no group has been credited with more social mayhem than anxious Gemini unnerved by the constant state of cultural climate change and intense competition surrounding them. No group except, of course, really enraged Virgo.

However, as Spencer has reminded us, in the Game it is often marriages of convenience between otherwise incompatible personalities – Sagittarius’ (Tony’s and Kass’) forte – that carry the day. After the next day. After the next day.

So, whatever the eventual outcome, it is going to be interesting to see if Tony was able to waltz right back into his previous alliance (as he seemed to believe he would be) despite his in-her-face destruction of Trish’s conviction that she was managing her family unit (including Tony) very nicely, thank you.

Because I think that, after dancing around the issue for 25 days, it will be his casual disregard of her domestic leadership and his abandonment of what, I am convinced, she believed to be a partnership in which she had the advantage – and not the loss of LJ – that will most anger and alarm Trish (who very much planned to allow Tony to help her win the million).

So, I am really curious to know what she’ll do about it. Because, as Morgan has so well demonstrated, Cancer simply do not relinquish a grudge. Ever …
