Who is in Danger of Being Voted Out In Episode 5 of Survivor: Second Chance

After yet another Abi-Maria, Varner, Woo tribal council, Angkor is in do-or-die mode this week. From the looks of this week’s preview, however, it seems like the honeymoon is over at Bayon, and the ladies will be gunning for each other. Kimmi’s “she’s a snake in the grass” comment is leading the audience to believe that she is referring to one of her fellow female tribemates, Monica or Kelly.

What reason would Kimmi have to call one of them a “snake in the grass?”
Can Angkor get their act together and finally win an immunity challenge?
And will Ta-Keo build shrine to Joe?

Let’s discuss.

(Ranked in order from most likely, to least likely to be voted out tonight.)

16. Abi-Maria

Even Abi-Maria could not talk her way out of another Angkor tribal council. If they lose, Savage and Tasha will finally cut the cord on the Brazilian nightmare. Abi’s only hope is to search high and low for the idol, and pray to the Cambodian gods that Savage can single-handedly pull off an immunity win.

15. Monica

As stated earlier, things are not looking good for the ladies of Bayon, and Monica will likely be public enemy #1. The previews clearly show Kimmi throwing an Australian Outback Kimmi Kappenberg fit and yelling “she’s a snake in the grass.”

By process of elimination*, she is referring to either Kelly Wiglesworth, or Monica. It is improbable that Kimmi would call Kelly a “snake in the grass” seeing as they are not in an alliance, and has no reason to get angry at Kelly for trying to stay in the game.

What is likely, is that Bayon loses immunity, and Monica is caught trying to throw Kimmi under the bus by claiming that Kimmi is a challenge liability. Kimmi gets wind of this, and due to her long-island heritage, is unable to keep her cool.

Monica’s massive spike in face time last week (15 words) is also an indication that she could be sent packing soon.

*Of course this could all be misdirection, and Kimmi could be yelling about a female from another tribe, potentially Tasha, her former tribemate, but that is unlikely.

14. Kelly

Even though it is unlikely that Kimmi is calling fellow old schooler, Kelly a “snake in the grass”, Kelly is still not in a great spot in Bayon. This potential Monica/Kimmi blowup could be exactly what Kelly needs to squeeze her way into a Bayon alliance and replace Monica/Kimmi.
The only way that Kelly should be voted out tonight is if Kimmi’s blowup is about a female on another tribe, and has nothing to do with the Bayon tribe dynamics. If that is the case, Kelly is in hot water, as she is the odd woman out.

* Jeff Probst boner alert: Kimmi reiterates that Monica is a snake at tribal council, and Monica is voted out with the help of Kelly. The Second Chance gods have struck once again, as the snake has finally been “eaten” by the rat.

13. Kimmi

Whatever the hell happens at camp Bayon tonight, Kimmi is probably blowing things way out of proportion. If she is not careful, she could be targeted as being dramatic, and a loose cannon.
Have your outburst at Monica, calmly secure the votes to get her out (it should not be too difficult as she does not seem to be super close with anyone) and fade back into the darkness.

12. Terry

Terry needs to be sure to suck up to Golden Boy Joe and his four non-Joe tribe members so that they do not get any funny ideas about throwing immunity just to vote him out.
If they get the feeling that Terry will jump ship post-merge, they will gladly throw the challenge to get him out before he can do that. But, if Ta-Keo loses, which is next to impossible with King Joe, Terry is more screwed than Jenna Jameson in the late 90’s.

11. Woo

Woo has a new lease on life, thanks to Savage and Tasha. If Angkor loses another immunity, Woo’s only hope will be Savage and Tasha turning on Abi-Maria. Luckily for Woo, they will gladly vote the lose cannon out, and Woo will make it yet another week.

However, we all know how much the producers love it when a major character finds an immunity idol. I would not be surprised if Abi “stumbled upon” and idol clue, finds the idol, feels vulnerable at tribal, and uses it to vote out Woo.

10-7 Kass, Ciera, Joe, Keith

There is a better chance of Vytas swimming back to the island, Probst letting him back in the game, and him getting voted out again, than there is of any of these four being voted out this week.

 

6-5, Stephen, Spencer

The Bayon boys are going to have a front row seat to the girl fight, and nobody will be happier than these two. In fact, I can already see the Spencer confessional in which the cat fight causes him to thank God that his second experience on Survivor has made him into an awesome, fun, cool, person that makes make friends.

And who would have thought that Stephen would be this safe, five weeks into the game. Just a few short weeks ago he was basically exiled to another beach as if he had the plague.

4-3. Tasha, Andrew

If Tasha or Savage go home this week, something supernatural happened on the Angkor beach. My guess? Abi-Maria used some sort of Brazilian witchcraft on Woo, forcing him to vote her way, and repeating aloud “you better not write Abi, you better not write Abi, you better not write Abi” as the rain comes down on the most terrifying tribal council of all time.

2. Kelley

Kelley is as safe as you can get on Survivor. But, it has little to do with her. It is because Joe is so handsome, educated, cleaver, witty, generous and manly that Ta-Keo will never lose.

But just in case Joe is not perfect (highly unlikely) and they lose immunity, Kelley will be whipping that idol out of her bag faster than Joe will be getting laid upon his arrival in loser’s lodge.

1. Jeremy

Jeremy will use this week’s lady drama to solidify at least one of the ladies into his alliance. When girls argue, they want validity from the men around them that they are right, and the other bitch is wrong. Jeremy will show just how great of a player he is tonight, when he is there to cheer up one of the ladies (likely Kimmi) and tell her how awful, mean, fat, ugly, etc. the “snake in the grass is.” And Kimmi will be forever indebted to the man, who is already running the show.

The Walking Dead Cast: Odds of Surviving Season 6 (Part 3)

For part 1 of the countdown (#29-21) click here.
For part 2 of the countdown (#20-11) click here.

Top 10 Walking Dead Characters
Most Likely to Make It Out of Season 6 Alive

10. Sasha

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

The biggest threat to Sasha’s life right now is not the walkers, it is not the Wolves, and it is not any residents of Alexandria: it is herself. Sasha has been in a major depression since her brother and boyfriend died, the likes of which we have only seen with Rick after Laurie died.

If Sasha does not snap out of the depression soon, she will end up being responsible for her own death. If she can find something (or someone) to live for, she is strong enough to survive quite a long time.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Being in the hands of Negan may be the best thing for Sasha right now. She would have been much more likely to die back in Alexandria with the attacks and all. One of three of Abraham, Sasha or Darryl will probably be killed by Negan, and I am thinking Sasha is the safest of the three. She will likely rejoin the group at the end of season 6.

9. Morgan

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Morgan has finally reappeared after 5 seasons. Morgan will certainly die, but it will not be in season six. He will die at the hands of Rick, and it will be yet another “life-altering” event for Mr. Grimes.
What to expect: Have a box of tissues by your side for the “Morgan Dies” episode, as it will be one of the most emotional moments in the show’s history, and it will likely be his BFF Rick that finally puts an end to him.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Morgan has now been back long enough where he is to the point that he can die without everyone being like “why bring him back 5 seasons later just to kill him off.” Because of this, Morgan will not make it to season 7, but will probably last at least a few more episodes.

8. Eugene

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Last season Eugene got knocked out by Abraham. Not only did he get knocked out, but he smashed his head so hard that the audience was left to believe that he was dead.
If resident genius, Eugene, was going to die anytime soon, he would have died by Abe’s hand: literally. Expect Eugene’s brains to continue to come in handy as the gang struggles to figure out exactly what the hell is going on.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Why kill Eugene now, right? They won’t.

7. Carol

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Carol is the leading lady of The Walking Dead. If she dies, riots will ensue, and the show will lose one of its biggest stars. Carol will continue to be a mystery to its viewers, and should survive until the show’s final season.

The ONLY way Carol will die this season is if she sacrifices herself for Jessie’s little son, her new protégé, as she feels obliged to make up for all of the little kids that have died under her care.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: She is never going to die. Like, ever. Please tell me she is never going to die.

6. Aaron

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Aaron will not die before his boyfriend, Eric. Eric will likely die this season, but we will certainly see Aaron’s post-Eric-death-mealtdown, and learn to love him as our favorite single, gay bachelor in the post-apocalyptic world.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Aaron has been missed this season. I expect to see him again tonight, and I expect that he will be more of a presence once his boyfriend gets killed. Hopefully tonight.

5. Maggie

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Even if Maggie was going to die this season, she wouldn’t. There is no way that Glenn let’s Maggie die. If the lovebirds need to be split up, Glenn will take the fall for Maggie, and she will be left to fend for herself, with only her lady friends (Michonne, Sasha, and Rosita) by her side. I can already hear “All the Single Ladies” playing in the background as the chicks slaughter their first round of walkers as lone doves.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Now that Glenn is not dead, if these lovebirds need to be split up, Maggie is the one that will take the fall. The producers love shock value, and what is more shocking than killing off a pregnant Maggie after just being reunited with Glenn. I hate to say it, but I do not think we will ever get to meet baby Glenn. I predict her death to come in episode 15 to build hype for the season 6 finale.

4. Darryl

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Darryl is the numero uno fan favorite, and one of the most beloved characters on television today. AMC would be foolish to kill him off, as many disgruntled fans would flee the show, and potentially threaten the lives of the writers. If the writers love their familes and value their lives, Darryl will continue to melt the hearts of Walking Dead fans.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Now that Darryl is with Negan, he is in more danger than he has ever been in. Darryl will NEVER die at the hands of a walker. But at the hands of Negan?? I am saying there is a chance. A small one, but a chance.

3. Michonne

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

It’s difficult to imagine a scenario that Michonne dies. If there is a walker brilliant enough to kill Michonne, they deserve to devour every inch of her, and they also deserve their own spin-off show. And, seriously, there is no human left alive that could kill this woman. She is as safe as safe can be.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Michonne will be in the final episode of the final season. If one person survives the post-apocalyptic world, it is Michonne.

2. Rick

(photo cred: screenrant.com)

(photo credit: screenrant.com)

The only reason Rick is not number one is because he would drop dead if Carl died. Even though Carl is becoming a grown man, Rick would not be able to survive in a post-apocalyptic world without his boy. If Baby Judith dies, he would be pissed, but he would manage to survive. If Carl dies, so does Rick, and the show would die alongside the two of them.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Do I even need to say it. Rick doesn’t know how to die.

1. Carl

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

(walkingdead.wikia.com)

Carl is the only person that is guaranteed to survive until the end of the series. If he dies, Rick dies. If Rick and Carl are both dead, The Walking Dead is not a show. Just keep doing what you’re doing kid, and soon enough the entire post-apocalyptic world will be yours.

MID-SEASON UPDATE: Carl could get his head chopped off, and Rick would find a way to reattach it. And after his head was reattached, he would be bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.

What Each Survivor: Second Chances Player Needs to do to Survive Episode 4

With 17 Survivors remaining, and the tribes all shook up, some of the castaways are gasping for breathe in boiling hot water, while others are safer than Michael Phelps in a lifejacket floating in a lazy river.

Here is what each of the remaining castaways have to do in order to make it out of episode 4 alive.

(Ranked in order from most likely to least likely to be voted out tonight.)

17. Woo

(photo credit: cbs.com)

(photo credit: cbs.com)

Hell hath no fury like an Abi-Maria scorned. And hell REALLY hath no fury like an Abi-Maria scorned twice. Woo has completely lost any trust that Abi still had with him.

So what can Woo do to save himself?

He has two options. Convince Savage and Tasha that if they have any hopes of winning a pre-merge challenge, they have to keep the tribe strong and vote out Varner. If Savage, Tasha, Varner and Abi are a foursome, they will end up at tribal again next week. If Woo can swing Savage and Tasha, and get rid of Varner, Angkor could be a powerful 4 person tribe.

Or, Woo could search high and low for a hidden immunity idol clue, pull some ninja-like moves at the immunity challenge, and secure himself safety at tribal.

16. Jeff

Varner is in the same position as Woo, except for the fact that he has not betrayed Abi, and she will not make it a point to go after him. He does, however, need to convince Savage and Tasha that either Abi is more of a physical challenge liability (not true, but he could give it a shot) or that Woo is more of a mental challenge liability (true.)
Varner needs to give up the hope of simply picking off Savage and Tasha, and focus on putting the target on Abi or Woo. Additionally, he needs to stop playing lip sync battle with the opposing tribes.

15. Stephen

(photo credit: cbs.com)

(photo credit: cbs.com)

Stephen is the biggest wild card in the game, and despite being in the majority “alliance” on his tribe, he could easily be seen as the most disposable. If Kelly isn’t in trouble with her tribe for interacting with Varner at the last immunity challenge, Stephen could be seen as the biggest post-merge mental threat, and get the boot tonight.

To survive tonight, Stephen should forget about his original Bayon allegiances, and try to convince the three girls (Kelly, Monica, and Kimmi) that Spencer and Jeremy will be massive post merge physical threats. Stephen could cruise to the merge with the girls, and eliminate the strong guys one at a time.

He must be extra smooth though, because if Jeremy catches wind of him trying to form an alliance behind his back, he will use his idol and come after Fishbach with a vengeance.

14. Kelly

(photo credit: cbs.com)

(photo credit: cbs.com)

Wiglesworth is getting dangerously close to the bottom of this weekly countdown. I worry for Wigles that her tribe is going to be pissed at her for trying to associate with Varner at the last challenge. The last thing they want is for her to reunite with him at the merge. The best thing for Kelly would be for Varner to get voted out tonight, so her tribe would not have to worry about her making the merge with him.

If Bayon loses immunity tonight, it is likely Stephen or Kelly is getting the boot. Kelly’s only hope would be to convince the others that she is stronger than half of her tribe. If she proposed to Jeremy and Spencer to form a solid four way alliance with the three of them and Kimmi (!), they would have some “wiggle” room to vote off Spencer and Monica and still have a somewhat strong tribe. If Kelly goes, the tribe is down to Jeremy and Spencer as their only strong members.

13. Terry

(photo credit: cbs.com)

(photo credit: cbs.com)

Deitz could be royally screwed tonight if Ta Keo loses immunity. Not only is he in the minority on his tribe, the only other person that is in the minority has immunity. I am assuming the tribe would split their votes between Kelley and Terry in case one of them has immunity, and on a re-vote Deitz would not have a leg to stand on, and would be the first to go from the new Ta Keo.

If I were Deitz, the one thing I would be sure to do, is to keep reminding Joe about the impending merger, and how strong he is. Golden Boy Joe needs as many strong men make the merge as possible, because the more strong guys that are around, the less of a target Joe is. If Deitz can somehow convince Joe and Keith to vote off one of the ladies, the big boys could run this game post merge.

12. Abi-Maria

(photo credit: cbs.com)

(photo credit: cbs.com)

There are many negatives adjectives one could use when describing Abi-Maria. Some may say she is loud, abrasive, opinionated, and argumentative. But with those qualities, comes honesty, and loyalty. Abi-Maria does not hide her feelings, and once she is loyal, she will not screw her allies over.

Tonight, if Angkor loses, the only thing that should get her voted out is if she is persistent on voting out Woo when Savage and Tasha have already decided to vote off Varner. Savage and Tasha may decide to vote with Woo and drop Abi-Maria while they still can. Because if Abi makes the merge, she will be everyone’s best friend that they want to carry to the finals.

11. Monica

(photo credit: cbs.com)

(photo credit: cbs.com)

The good thing for Monica is that it should be impossible for her to get voted out until we hear her speak. Therefore: keep quite and don’t mess up any challenges, and Monica should be just fine. If Monica can fly under the radar for just a few more weeks, and make the merge, she should come out as clean as a whistle when the game turns into a bloodbath in a few weeks.

Monica needs to sit out challenges, so she can’t mess them up. And shut her mouth, so she doesn’t piss anyone off. Additionally, she should keep tight with the ladies, as Wiglesworth desperately needs her right now, and Kimmi is always in need of friends.

10-7, Ciera, Joe, Kass, Keith

(photo credit: cbs.com)

They are all lumped together, because they are all in a very similar position in the game right now. They are all in the majority alliance on Ta Keo. Even if they lose immunity, the only way they can be voted off is if they do not split the vote between Kelley and Terry. If they split the vote, and Kelley uses her idol (which she will) Terry goes. If they do not split the vote, and Kelley uses her idol (which she will) one of the four of them will be voted out: whoever Kelley chooses (most likely Joe or Ciera, as they could be post merge threats.)

With all the combined Survivor experience that the four of these major players have, there is NO WAY they are not smart enough to split the votes.

Regardless, the odds of them losing an immunity when there are three tribes, is extremely thin. Split the votes, and they will all cruise on to week 5.

6-5. Savage, Tasha

(photo credit: cbs.com)

(photo credit: cbs.com)

(photo credit: cbs.com)

(photo credit: cbs.com)

What a difference a week can make. While I am pumped up for my man Savage’s epic turn-around, I am not going to get too excited because I am sure it is only a temporary victory.
The ONLY thing Savage and Tasha have to do this week is coddle Abi-Maria. Make her feel special, and make her feel loved. No matter what happens, just go along with what she wants. If Savage and Tasha want to vote out Jeff, but Abi wants to vote out Woo…. WHO CARES…. VOTE OUT WOO. Does it really matter to Savage and Tasha if Woo or Varner is voted out? Just survive a few more weeks, reconnect with the original Bayon, and run this game until the end.

Whatever you do, do not let Woo or Varner find the idol, and do not piss off Abi.

4. Spencer

(photo credit: cbs.com)

(photo credit: cbs.com)

Much like Savage and Tasha, Spencer has found new life in the game. Starting a “bromance” with Jeremy is the best thing that Spencer can do. Jeremy is ruling the roost at Bayon, and as long as he is in his good graces, he will not be going anywhere.
And if one of Jeremy’s alliance members get voted out before the merge (Tasha, Savage, Keith, Joe) except Spencer to be right there to fill the void.

Bottom line: Forget the fact that you told Wiglesworth you were going to form super close relationships with her and the rest of the original Ta Keo tribe two weeks ago. Keep telling Jeremy your “heart-felt” stories about you not loving your girlfriend, and you will be golden.

3. Kimmi

(photo credit: cbs.com)

(photo credit: cbs.com)

Who the hell would have Predicted that:
A) Kimmi would be so safe on a tribe. Ever.
B) Kimmi could be so quiet. Ever.

Apparently these past 14 years have been a major growing experience for Kimmi, as she is basically a complete 180 degrees from the Kimmi we saw back in 2001.

Only advice for Kimmi… If someone wants to wag a finger in your face, or eat chicken, just let them, and slowly walk back to the hammock.

2. Kelley

(photo credit: cbs.com)

(photo credit: cbs.com)

What Kelley needs to do tonight if Ta Keo loses immunity: Use the idol and vote out Keith (Kelley does not know who, if anyone, has the hidden idol.) She should expect, however, that Keith does not even know what a hidden immunity idol is, and therefore, will not play one.
If she can somehow get Keith or Joe out, she has a solid chance at an all-girl alliance at new Ta Keo. And Kelley is in DESPERATE need of an alliance.

1. Jeremy

(photo credit: cbs.com)

(photo credit: cbs.com)

The only thing that Jeremy has to do tonight, is not get caught with his idol. Hide the idol, bury the idol, or stick it up your butt. But, do not get caught with that idol, and Jeremy will continue to dominate Survivor: Second Chances.
