I still think it was the right move to not take out Carolyn here. If you keep her your odds of going to final 3 go up greatly but if you cut her, you give the power to Jamie, Heidi, and Lauren

That's a good point.

Agreed.

In Probst’s podcast, he and the 2 others who do the podcast walked through each of the final 5 and listed their pro’s and con’s to getting jury votes if they make the final 3. Based on their arguments, Lauren has a great shot of winning because she has an emotional story that she already recited in an earlier episode. She has won 2 individual immunity challenges and there are former members of her tribe on the jury. She also rigged the rock draw in her tribe so she would go on one of those excursions early in the game because she wanted to play the game.

Yam Yam was also a strong candidate because he has made connections, won an individual immunity, and has an emotional story to tell that he has already told so he can just recite it to the jury.

Carolyn is a wildcard because she has played a good game (even Yam Yam said so) but can she hold it together long enough to tell her story? No immunity wins but Probst said that a psychologist mentioned that people who have a negative initial impression of a person sometimes do things out of guilt when they see they were wrong.

Carson doesn’t seem to have a backstory to tell but he’s smart and has probably thought about a jury speech for months.

Heidi? Has former tribe members on the jury but let’s be real.

Probst also said that there is a hidden immunity idol on the new beach but didn’t say if it was found.

Finally, he said there will be an episode of the podcast available immediately after the finale show airs Eastern time and it will have the 3 finalists. Could be interesting.

The finale is tonight. Does anyone have any predictions?

Anyone/Anyone/Lauren = Lauren wins

If Lauren makes the final 4, she’ll win immunity and the game.

If Lauren gets voted out, Carson will win immunity and Heidi and Yam Yam will make fire. If Yam Yam wins fire, he wins the game.

Good news for me is the final 4 fire making spoilers I saw were wrong lol

They hinted at Carson losing at fire all season.

Yam Yam is a strong winner

For the first time in a few seasons, I’m not mad at who won. I felt bad for Carolyn though.

If Carson would’ve been in the final three I figured he’d be a unanimous champion.

Glad Yam Yam won, but sucks that Carolyn got no votes.

Heidi winning would have been such a sham, and she was really trying to sell for pity votes

When someone asked Carolyn a question and Heidi interrupted her, I think the jury didn't like that. I know I didn't. It was rude. And I really get tired of the *poor me* like Heidi did.
