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?
