Surivor: Blood vs. Water - Predictions

Sep 24, 2013 by LezzieLizzie

It’s difficult, really, to do this right at the beginning, but it isn’t much of a prediction half way through the game. That’s more of an estimate. So without further ado, I’ll go through each contestant of this Survivor season, and give my two cents on their chances in the game.

Aras: The only thing Aras has against him is his Panama win. Granted, that was a while ago, so maybe that target will slip off his back. Not to mention that he’s not the only returnee to win. Assuming he still has it in him after 8 years (which it seems he may), he could have a pretty good shot.

Vytas: Aside from his association to Aras, Vytas doesn’t have much that would put a target on him. He may turn out to be a physical threat, but then so could anybody else… I could see Vytas working against his brother in this, even though it does appear that the two decided to take part in this game as a reconciling endeavour. Chances of this guy winning look pretty good as it stands, especially if his all-male alliance sticks up.

Candice: Already in hot water. If she can squeeze past the next few eliminations she might be able to punch out a good spot in this season (maybe go for 8th, again?).

John: I don’t see why this guy can’t do well for himself. If Candice is eliminated before the couple get to reunite, he could cement himself a good spot… barring his emotions don’t get the best of him.

Colton: Everybody loves to hate this guy. Last time, he played the “Holier than Thou” card, now he’s playing the “Woah is me” card. Either way, I don’t like Colton Cumbie. He might get some sympathy for the first week or so (if that), but it will wear out, and become more annoying than anything, if it doesn’t stop. He won’t get too far.

Caleb: This guy looks like he would do well on his own. He seems like he’s got his head in a better spot than his partner, and I think that if he gets to the merge without Colton (Which I wouldn’t be surprised to see happen), he could do some damage.

Gervase Peterson: Thirteen years removed might be a bit too long for this one. If anything, I would have thought (probably similarly to most other people), that all those years would have given Gervase some maturity. I guess not. His effort in challenges is another big blow to his potential. He wants Laura B. out, but he’ll probably be snuffed before he sees that happen.

Marissa Peterson: Presumably, her issue is her uncle. On top of that, though, she doesn’t seem to do well physically. I’m actually expecting her to drop out of Redemption, first.

Kat: She has potential, socially, and physically. Where she becomes a target, is in her association to her already successful, and thus threatening, Big Brother Boyfriend. A smart idea for her, would be to pull up another alliance, because if she doesn’t she’ll be hung out to dry by Hayden’s elimination.

Hayden: Welcome to the Jungle, city boy. Everybody already knows this kid as being the Big Brother 12 winner, so clearly there could be a target on his back. For now, he has his physical presence working for him, but once the merge hits, you can probably expect Hayden to have a tough time.

Laura M.: Nothing really sticks out when it comes to reasons to get rid of Laura Morett. She only got half way through Samoa, so she doesn’t have much on her record. I think Laura has it in her to win this time around.

Ciera: I don’t know about this girl’s physical potential. It’s probably there, but it’s tough to tell this early on. If that turns out to be a dud, Ciera won’t see the merge, especially with the all-male alliance of five running around on her tribe.

Monica: Without the star husband in Brad Culpepper hanging around, she shouldn’t have too many eyes on her. She didn’t even make the merge her first time around, so, much like Laura, she doesn’t have much to say she shouldn’t be kept. That being said, it might be that Monica brings nothing to her tribe, physically, which may be where she falls short. If she can play a good social game, she might be okay.

Brad: There is obviously a stigma surrounding this Ex-NFL D-back. How positive or negative this stigma is, is difficult to tell, seeing as he is 12 years removed from the job. It looks as though Brad is out to play the social aspect of Survivor, and if he can keep up a physical presence, he might do well. Let’s hope he doesn’t shoot himself in the foot any more.

Rupert: I don’t know what it is about this guy, but every Survivor contestant who has ever faced Rupert seems to have a hate on for him. My best bet is that he’s too well rounded for everyone else to handle. Regardless, Rupert has his work cut out for him already. I think he could get by Redemption Island, but I can see the rest of the players swinging him right back out there.

Laura B.: This woman has the unfortunate task of being married to one of the most feared Survivor contestants ever. While I’m sure having Rupert around in the real world is a blessing (minus the lack of aesthetic pleasure – no offense to the man), I don’t see the connection working in Laura’s favour while she’s in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. She may get by for a while, thanks to the more eminent priority of eliminating more useless contestants before her, it is clear that nobody wants to give the Bonehams an opportunity to work together in this game. All I can say is Good Luck.

Tina: Congratulations on Australia. I still don’t understand why Colby appeared more ecstatic than her… but that’s not the point. The problem for Tina is her physical game. She wasn’t any bit of a physical threat in Australia, so unless she’s been hitting the gym every day since (which it looks like she hasn’t), the last 12 years probably hasn’t improved her chances in this regard. The difference between Australia and now is that the game was based on morals. Now, morals are all but out the window. Unless she can play some amazing mind games, I see something similar to her All-Star “appearance”.

Katie: Already in hot water, it seems. Katie doesn’t look like she’ll bring much to the table in this game, and may very well be the next castaway shipped off to Redemption. Of course, we don’t know much about her social game yet…

Tyson: One of the few people who I can actually see winning, at this point. Much like Laura M., and Monica, Tyson hasn’t made himself dramatically known to the rest of the castaways. We know he can win a challenge for himself (and his tribe), and his social game probably won’t be too shabby, either… as long as he doesn’t get confused with the votes…

Rachel: The final castaway, and another potential winner, I think. By association to Tyson, she might have a good chance, but let’s not leave everything up to her man. She certainly won’t. Rachel seems fairly independent, and more than willing to put all of her effort into fighting through her next few weeks (assuming she makes it so far). I won’t be surprised to see Rachel as one of the last remaining players in this game.

I’ll place better luck on those who have lost their loved ones (sorry for the dark image) come merge time. Because there is no emotional attachment, and more importantly, no real obvious allegiances, these players could have a smooth ride to the finish (maybe if they band together). Then again, my thoughts could be shared by the contestants who have their loved ones with them. Needless to say, this season should be, at the very least, interesting.

Tyson or Gervase wins.
