Neal, he's really an enigma for me at this point. Shown alone on the raft on the intro, but could be because he's already a millionaire, kind of like Shirin.

Then, when Jiffy said that "you don't want to be the first person voted off your tribe", they zoomed in on Neal shaking his head, no. This really raised a red flag* for me with Neal. I just can't help but think if Aubry were to flip, as we've commented on, and there was a tie, it's possible that Neal could be blindsided.

*red flag: AS seeing Darnell and Jason in the shot when Scot spoke in the intro about people that he would get along with, the strong. Sneaky, sneaky

You know what would be ironic and funny: If Aubry flips and votes Neal with Debbie, Joe. Then, Peter, Liz, and Neal all vote Debbie. Then, Debbie and Neal don't vote, and Joe/Aubry still vote Neal, and Peter/Liz still vote Debbie, then they go to fire challenge, and DEBBIE BEATS NEAL! After all the smack talk in the first episode about Debbie and her fire, that would be just desserts! But, that wouldn't happen, right? They would do rocks before fire challenge, correct?

But, this week, IF, the Brains were to lose, there is no siting of Neal in the promos. In the press images he's seen killing a sting ray for his tribe to eat ~ a very positive. If he were to be booted this week, it would definitely classify as a hidden boot.

But, he's still on my radar.
