LAST EDITED ON 05-30-03 AT 07:31 AM (EST)My take on the first ep editing---
We saw very little of David/Jeff and Kelly/Jon compared to the others. Based on prior shows, I think this means they're in for the long haul.
We saw a lot of Steve/Dave and Tian/Jaree, which I think sets them up to go soon.
On the other hand, we saw a lot of Josh and Monica/Sheree, which I think is setting up some on-going inter-team conflicts but not necessarily a top four finish for either team.
Quite a bit of Amanda/Chris, though I can't decide what this means for them long-term.
Not a lot of Millie/Chuck, and with the Malyasia newsgroup spoiler suggesting they made it that far, I think their outlook is good.
Russell/Cindy were not featured that much, so I think they're around for a while, but nothing that really makes me think they will last to the end.
Clowns were kinda neutral in airtime, contrary to what might have been expected from the likely comedy team, and I think they're going a ways.
Prediction based on 1st ep editing for final four---
David/Jeff
Kelly/Jon
Millie/Chuck
Jon/Al
ETA forgot Reichen/Chip, but their issue---coming out to the other teams---will likely be resolved at some point relatively soon, paving the way for a middle of the pack exit, the way I see it.
