Due to their decision to join with Missy and Baylor, Jon and Jaclyn seem well positioned to go far in Survivor, but with such fickle, gullible allies, they could face a brutal reversal of fortune. The fact that this week will see a tribal merge creates further intrigue, as we learned last week that there is a women’s alliance across Coyopa and Hunahpu. Similarly, Keith has been hanging on until he is reunited with his son, Wes. By our count, there are seven men and five women, and the women are more tightly aligned. If the men are not unified heading into the vote this week, one of them will get blindsided. We don’t expect that to happen, but an irritating player such as Jeremy or Alec or a perceived threat such as Josh or Jon could lose a numbers game that they think they control. Hopefully, the remaining twin, Natalie, is the pick this week. Then again, we’ve been saying that for several episodes now. Annoyingly, she has a fairly tight core guarding her back. The episode begins with Missy once again demonstrating how not to play Survivor. We are not joking when we say that she starts the following morning with a confession to Keith that mother and daughter voted against him. In the immortal words of Lionel Hutz, “there's the truth, and there's THE TRUTH.” There is simply no rational explanation for telling an opponent that you voted for them. It’s the entire reason why the voting is done blind rather than in front of the tribe.
