Overall, I'm content with tonights episode, mostly because Dale got the boot, but a few things have begun to transpire.
Firstly, the quitter. Tonight was the first episode which touched on a possible and long-speculated quit, and made it seem as if there was a possibility in which Julie could quit, which at this point would happen at the merge. But in all honestly, I'm starting to doubt whether a quit occurs in the first place. Firstly, doesn't Jeff address the quit on Coyopa, based off the supertease from the beginning? And onto which tribe do they merge? Did anyone pay attention to that from tonight's preview? But aside that, Julie got some content about wanting to reciprocate Jeremy's trust, which possibly indicates that Julie doesn't quit but instead stays true to her allies. I don't know. Julie's edit hasn't even been overly negative (NaOnka) or invisible (Purple Kelly) to indicate that she quits. At this moment, I don't think Julie quits, but this is mostly wishful thinking.
Secondly, Natalie and Baylor. Natalie volunteering to go to Exile with Baylor was smart. Natalie was close with Missy on original Hunahpu so it only makes sense for her to warm up to Missy's daughter as well, and confirm whether the three of them are good. I think the content Natalie and Baylor had gotten together, and the scenes Missy had gotten concerning Natalie indicates that Missy and Baylor side with Natalie/Jeremy/Julie at the merge. This would mean a counter alliance of Josh/Reed/Wes/Keith/Alec.
I think my merge predictions bring light to a third point that was featured in tonight's episode as well, Jon & Jaclyn acting as swings. This was the second episode in which Jon and Jaclyn were the swing votes, and I feel like their reign as swing vote continues, especially given my merge divide prediction.
So essentially, my prediction for the merge is:
Missy/Baylor/Natalie/Jeremy/Julie
vs
Josh/Reed/Wes/Keith/Alec
Tbh I think josh is gone next week or soon making reed irrelevant this his limited edit until recently
I'm starting to switch my winner prediction from Jon who I've been thinking is getting a goofy like edit to possible Keith. I thought the fishing clip was incredible random and seems to want us to like Keith.
