I wish I did, rockle, but my Google-fu was not strong enough to overcome the looking-over-my-shoulder paranoia here at work. If you have the opportunity to search a bit more unabashedly, it came from TV Guide. I only caught bits quoted at TWOP, and the quoters didn’t include a link. I thought that was a bit odd, since they’re usually pretty good about that, but since different posters quoted different parts of the interviews, I’m fairly certain it’s legit. If you do manage to find it, would you mind posting the link?
I really do hope this doesn’t take the win from Yul or Ozzy. Becky seems to be a mere cypher so far, and I can’t imagine them throwing in enough confessionals with her to give her an absolute, fleshed-out winner’s edit. This quote: Their first challenge, Burnett reveals “is the hardest puzzle we’ve ever done, called Compass Rose.” The final four’s last immunity challenge, he says, is “a trial of balance and endurance.”
sounds like a gimmee for Yul and Ozzy, but women usually do well in the endurance challenge, so who knows?
More from the interview:
So who’s going to win? We asked Burnett to handicap the seven players still in the game at press time.
Yul: “He has that dangerous combination of being extremely likable and extremely cerebral,” Burnett says. “He used the immunity idol in a very smart way, and it actually turned the game.”
Ozzy: “He’s one of the greatest challenge players we’ve ever had, right up there with Terry and Colby. He certainly is a target.”
Jonathan: “He’s done what he’s had to do to get this far. He’s saved himself so many times, he’s like Houdini. Jonathan has managed to offend many people, but he’s a very clever guy and knows that’s a safer bet to make it into the final 2.”
Adam: “There’s no question that we’ve focused on his alliance with Candice, but he’s a very strong player. He might be cleverer than we think.” Candice, who was booted last week, was “near genius,” says Burnett, but Adam was ‘her Achilles’ heel."
Becky: “She may be playing a clever, silent-but-deadly game in that she’s letting [her ally] Yul take all the heat. For much of the show, she was under the radar.”
Parvati: “Parvati’s a good athlete, can be a very strong challenge player and she’s not afraid to use her sexuality.”
Sundra: “Sundra has offended nobody and is the kind of person who can go to the end because she’s not seen as a threat. Everyone likes her.”
