Yes, the riff between Cydney and Jason is most likely misdirection for this week, but there is something to it that could start something unraveling down the road. I bet it is related to the clue regarding, Rumors of an all-girl alliance cause problems for one castaway....good call, Squid. How many times have we specifically seen Debbie planting that seed, that she wants a girl to win? Debbie has to be at the heart of that one, and it has ramifications for Cydney, perhaps.Jiffy touts, It all starts to crumble....that sounds pretty ominous, if not for now, then for later. But, with Aubry hitting rock bottom, she could be at the heart of the problem!
But, the first misdirection clue had to do with the merge creates a power struggle between Brawn and Beauty.
So, last week we saw where everyone aligned...
It was: Jason, Scot, Cydney, Tai, Julia, Nick, and Michele
Vs.
Debbie, Neal, Joe, Aubry
Nick and Michele told us that they would go with the Brawns for now. But, now that it is Brawn vs. Beauty, is it:
Jason, Scot, Cydney vs. Nick, Tai, Julia, Michele
Tai already told us that his number one alliance is Scot. So, I still count Tai with the Brawn.
Jiffy tells us that one move can change the game and apparently that is just what happens when Neal is evacuated for Aubry. it's now 7 vs 3, and Aubry is going to do some serious playing. Her move is going to switch this around. So, for me, I highly doubt one of the brains will go home.
I think we have to consider that one of the big boys is going down. Could be Nick, or, it could be either Scot or Jason...
The brains were seriously courting Nick last week, I still think their primary targets are Scot and Jason, fwiw. I am not discounting Nick, but I don't want Jason or Scot to be discounted either at this point...fwiw.
