We’re down to four competitors, seems like a good time to make our picks.

I went with Tony. I’ve been thinking about why he’d want to vote for Trish last episode, when she was seemingly his only ally. That may be the case, but Spencer is a huge immunity challenge threat, and Trish doesn’t move the needle against him. Kass and Woo offer the best chance to get rid of him. Should Spencer not win the immunity, he’s gone. And if he does, I think he wins. But his chances are decidedly less than Tony’s.

The Jury seems fairly bitter. I’d say Spencer has the best chance at winning if he’s in the final followed by Woo. That also makes Spencer very likely to be voted out unless he wins the next 1-2 immunities. Woo is not a very smart player, but he’s well liked so he might win against Tony. Tony will win if it’s a final two between him and Kass.

I predict Spencer will not win immunity at 4, and gets voted out. Woo gets voted out at 3, and Tony wins the whole thing.

Kass has screwed over everyone in this game and that’s why I’m hedging my bets on her. She’s played this season so fast and loose and selfish that I really believe she has stuck to that mantra of outwitting everyone somehow.

I really think it’s 50/50 or so. If Spencer wins the final immunity (I’m assuming a final 3) then he wins. If someone else wins it, Tony wins.

The only wrench is just how much people like Woo vs. think he’s a dumb coattail rider. Obviously the edit has played up the “dumb” aspect: “Hey Woo, have any thoughts?” “Yeah, I definitely do… what do you guys think?”. But the “nice guy that didn’t piss anybody off” aspect has worked before.

I went with Spencer, but Tony might just dig deep and win immunity, in which case he wil llikely win. Say what you want about Tony, but he is playing to win.

I think Tony will win, but I want Spencer to win.

If Spencer makes to the end, he wins, no questions asked.

I still think Kass can out-argue Tony, though the general consensus seems to be that Kass has no chance and Tony will beat everyone but Spencer.

I think Woo has no chance. He just doesn’t seem to have a thought in his head, and I can’t see him giving any good answers at the jury TC. Though, as **Jas09** has said, this might just be the producers playing it up (but they usually play it up because it gets reflected in the jury vote/questions…) Even if Tony and Kass are unlikeable, I don’t think they let Woo (a coat-tail rider) win over either of them.

Also, it’d be pretty funny if Kass won, guaranteeing the Probst question to Spencer about his “zero chance of winning the game” comment after he flip at the merge.
