Getting ready for tonight’s episode of Survivor, which is the best in many seasons, I got to think about my all-time favorite season: Australia.
I wondered who would have won had Michael Skulpin not burnt his hands.
Michael was a pretty tough competitor. So, let’s say he doesn’t fall in the fire and his tribe goes onto win the IC.
That means Colby’s tribe has to vote someone off.
At that time, the tribes would have been(I had to look up the names):
Kucha:
Alicia
Nick
Rodger
Jeff
Michael
Elisabeth
Ogakor:
Colby
Jerri
Keith
Tina
Pre-Rob Amber
And Ogakor would be headed to the last group based TC. Once the oust a member, they would go into the merge at a disadvantage instead of a tie. So instead of Jeff being the first to go, it would be Colby(assuming he didn’t get axed at the TC). So, what would have happened from there? (Remember Keith or Tina, whoever remains, would have won the first indivisual IC).
My gut says:
Jerri gets the boot in the last group TC
Colby gets the boot in the first merge TC (not on the jury)
Keith gets the boot
Michael gets the boot (a break in tribal alliances)
Nick gets the boot
Tina gets the boot
Elisabeth gets the boot (first of a re-formed alliance to get the cut).
Rodger gets the boot
Alicia gets the boot
Amber wiggles her way into an alliance with Alicia and Jeff and finishes second
Jeff wins the million
How do you think it would play out?
