The Remaining Partnerships at Final Nine
LEO and GEMINI
Both the Gemini and the Leo in this combination have a very childlike, playful, fun-loving side that is brought out when they are together. They both love drama and color and find one another to be companionable and interesting. Gemini is more intellectual than Leo, however, and needs a variety of people, activities, and interests in order to be happy. On the other hand, Leo wants to be the most important person in any and every social circle (small or large) and may not appreciate all of the Gemini's other interests and friendships.
Too, Leo makes commitments and keeps them better than Gemini does because Leo is less restless. Once having found something good, Leo sticks with it, and doesn't completely understand Gemini's desire for novelty. Also, Leo is very proud and has a sensitive ego, while Gemini can be a merciless teaser and doesn't always take Leo seriously. For the most part, however, these two could be great friends.
Because Gemini are essentially articulate, intellectual individuals, they will fan the flames of Leo’s fiery pride. These elements work well together. Many Air and Fire combinations have a lot going for them. The Gemini–Leo match is no exception.
However, Gemini love a variety of subjects and will flit from one to another. Leo is more inflexible and determined and may not adapt well to those mental gymnastics. Too, Leo likes to dominate a situation, and can come on a little strong. The two could find themselves one-upping each other in the attention-seeking stakes. If they can both respect each other’s need to be on life’s centre stage, they’ll complement each other well.
The warm and enthusiastic Fire of Leo is definitely inspiring and usually makes the Gemini feel that his talents are appreciated. Leo is a creative Sign, and Gemini will respect and learn from them. Again, both members of the duo express this best in a social context, as they both love the company of others.
However, Leos tend to be hard taskmasters, and fixed in their ideas. Gemini are far more pliable and adaptable and are much less likely than Leo to stick to a viewpoint just for the sake of it (though Gemini don’t mind doing this in the name of a decent debate now and then).
Gemini has a great capacity to take in and remember a host of facts and figures, and will often surprise everyone with the talent. Unfortunately, Leo will also think that many Gemini are Jacks of all trades and Masters of none. So part of his challenge will be to anchor Gemini’s flighty character and help him focus on learning a lot about one topic, rather than a little about many.
But, in matters of friendship and affection, this partnership has a high chance of succeeding. However, don’t expect the relationship to be easily maintained or without its fair share of challenges.

It is my impression that their relationship has not been an easy one for either of these two men. And, particularly for Wes, I don't think that Survivor is going to be helpful.
It is also my impression that the younger man is not authorized to commit his father to anything. To include alliances.
JP | “'Keith is one of my favorite new players,' Probst says of this father/son team of firefighters from Louisiana. 'He didn't know the game at all ... so watching him learn how to play Survivor is fantastic, because he has a way of speaking that you just don't often see on television.'”
AQUARIUS and GEMINI
Although the members of this duo are very definitely different people, they might find that their basic goals and outlook in life are compatible. For instance, they have an excellent intellectual rapport. They tend to spark each other's wit and enjoy tossing ideas back and forth.
Intellectual companionship is important to them and in the other they might find a loved one whose conversation and company they enjoy. They have the potential to be very good friends, and shared viewpoints, common interests, and social activities are key elements in their relationship. Any relationship will have its challenges, but these Air natives share a pleasing over-all rapport that can help smooth over other differences.
There are always very strong links between Sun Signs who have the same Element. And a combination of Aquarius and Gemini is a strong one that may play out in important periods of their lives and at the most coincidental of times. Similar in nature, they will often feel an immediate connection. And being a rebel at heart, the Aquarius is very often the one who attracts and holds the Gemini’s fascinated interest. A law unto themselves, Aquarius bring a lot of energy to any relationship. And, while that means great communication, it also feeds Gemini’s own restless spirit. So the strength of the relationship often rests on their understanding of each other as communicators – and they are certainly great talkers.
However, the way that they express ideas will be slightly different. Gemini’s very happy to jump from one topic to another like a butterfly. They often lack the depth and focus of Aquarius (who has a deeper concentration and tends to savor the facts rather than move constantly on to new themes). And the Gemini will learn that the Aquarius also insists on a focused way of dealing with people. But one of the reasons that the two go well together is that they both are attracted to people generally. Gemini will respect the Aquarius and the Aquarius will very probably inspire the Gemini.
They will learn a lot from each other.
JP | “'Missy's 20-year-old daughter Baylor has done a lot of self-parenting,' Probst says. 'There's a real clear connection between the two, but it doesn't necessarily appear that it's mother/daughter.' But they're definitely a duo to watch. 'I think the hardest in Blood vs. Water is for the parent that's playing with a child,' Probst says. 'And when you're a mom I think it's the hardest of all. I think being a mom with your daughter would be the most difficult position to be in because you birthed her. There is no tighter connection in the world. ... If the only way you can move forward is by getting rid of your child, can you do it? Or do you just fall down on the sword and say, I just can't do it?'"
ARIES and LEO
Both are independent, self-motivated individuals who are very much concerned with their own creative work and interests and prefer not to feel as though they "own" each other. Aries, however, often acts in a manner that is socially inappropriate while Leo is more aware of appearances and is more concerned with the response of others. He is somewhat indifferent to other people's opinions, while she craves approval and affirmation from her peers and public.
They are also both immensely proud and neither wants to take the back seat in this relationship. And although there is a great deal of harmony between them, being two spirited and somewhat volatile people, when they do clash their disagreements are likely to be dramatic and … loud. So, others can, unfortunately, get caught in the middle of their ferocious battles of will. Too, because in the extreme the combination of two Fire Signs can be very explosive, such a relationship will more than likely burn at least one … out.
The elemental combination of Aries Fire with Leo Fire is, however, an excellent one. There seems to be an immediate attraction and an immediate understanding of each other’s personality. This combination works on every level: physically, mentally and emotionally. Even the duo’s spiritual sides will be inspired by each other.
Both driven individuals with strong creative impulses, they are well placed to understand and support each other’s ambitions. And when they do help each other, they will both succeed in achieving their own individual long-term goals. The two of can work as a great team.
But the Aries must understand that Leo is a proud and dominating sign, similar to his own. So, the partnership must be built on respect for each other, because the question of who will rule the roost is likely to eventually surface. When this competitiveness gets going, one of the two will have to give in. But as long as both individuals maintain that respect for the other and approach these showdowns in a sporting, fun way, the tug-of-war can be stimulating.
Romantically, the common Element of Fire promises a rich and rewarding relationship. This is an extremely compatible Sun Sign combination.

It seems that our host has already told his audience that we are going to witness a clash - or several - between Jon and Jaclyn. And, considered with the 'after' photos of a very thin Jon, his comments support the prevailing theory that at least one of this duo lasts far into the Season.
Because I enjoy watching both Aries and Leo play the Game, I don't mind a bit if we're 'caught in the middle' of a real donnybrook.
JP | “The season's eye candy couple, Jon is a Michigan State football player and Jaclyn was named Miss Michigan in 2013. But their time on Survivor won't exactly be a fairytale, Probst cautions. ‘They're young and loving,’ Probst describes. ‘But what's interesting is watching their relationship play out. They're a couple and they love each other, but this game is hard. And, give people enough time together on Survivor, they will argue, no matter how much you love each other. There's an honesty to watching their relationship that I don't recall us ever doing before.’”
