Whew! Thanks for that dissection of the TC chaos. I only discerned about 10% of the whisperings.

I miss Veruca. As well, I miss your and her interchanges. But you are carrying the baton in fine fashion.

Sandra is also one of my favorites, she's a sassy mother figure in her mind. But her confessions and TC comments show she is no where nearly introspective enough to gage the dangers around her. This season she doesn't seem to have the self control she has had in the past. Some of the things she said at TC were jarring to me, and probably to her tribe mates as well.

Brad just isn't smart enough to go the distance, I think. His unnecessary comment about Hali only served to cement her isolation from her tribe mates.

But what a tribe, Hali - a declared non ally to her tribemates, and Debbi who is predestined (per the previews) to go off on her tribe (who exactly is she going to be mad at, Brad?). Brad, Tai and Sierra should be tight because of the HI exchange at the last TC. If they go to TC next as a single tribe and there isn't another shuffle, will they team up against Hali, or Debbi? My guess would be Hali because even though Debbi reverts to Crazy Debbi, they probably can depend on her to vote their way in the future.
