So I thought I would type out my prediction of how the rest of the season will play out based on a few factors like Editing, Interviews, and in game comments. So I'll just start off with the Boot List:
Redemption Island: Ralph Leaves (Second Pick Andrea)
IC: Doesn't Really Matter (Probably Rob or Grant)
F5: Ashley (Second Pick Natlie)
Redemption Island Final Duel Part: Comes Down to Mike vs Matt. Matt Wins
IC: Matt Wins
F4+1: Natlie (Second Pick Ashley)
IC: Grant or Rob Wins
F4: Matt
F3: Grant, Rob, and Phillip:
David: Rob
Julie: Rob
Steve: Rob
Ralph: Rob
Mike: Rob
Natlie: Grant
Ashley: Rob or Grant
Andrea: Wild Card
Matt: Wild Card
Now here's my explanation for why each step is going to go this way:
Redemption Island Semi Final Duel: Ralph will probably loose this duel because the Promo is playing it up making it seem like he wins. This season the Promos have been manipulated to create false suspense to ridiculous extent, so that says to me Ralph who is terrible at Puzzles is being made to look like he wins, just to avoid the obvious conclusion. IF Ralph doesn't loose or for some reason their is a double boot than I think next up is Andrea, but it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of the RI Story arc.
IC: IDK Rob or Grant probably wins just based on them dominating the challenges, but it doesn't really matter anyway
F5 Tribal: Ashley is booted out because Rob has to break up the duo of Ashley and Natlie since that is the only voting block that someone could turn against him. If Ashley is voted out than every single person left in the game is basically looking to Rob to take them to the finals. Also the Promo made it obvious that Ashley is going. But in the off chance she doesn't than its Natlie, their basically serve the same purpose anyway so it doesn't really matter which.
Redemption Island Final Duel: I believe the final duel comes down to Matt vs Mike, because as soon as Mike went to RI his edit has been getting better and better, when before he was virtually purple kellied, which says to me that the Editors are building Mike up as Matt's main competition to get back in the game. But Sadly I believe Mike will loose out to Matt since he simply has not been given that important of an edit to beat Matt and make it back into the game.
Semi Final IC: I think Matt is going to win this challenge, since their has been a-lot of editing focusing on Matt coming back and having some sweet revenge against Rob. So it would fit the Edit if Matt comes back manages to win Immunity and forces Rob to break up his ideal Final 3 (Natlie, Phillip, and himself) and keep Grant to make sure they beat Matt in the final IC
Final 4 + 1: Already explained pretty much what happens, here. Rob is forced to break up his ideal final 3 and take Grant instead to make sure Matt doesn't win the Final IC. This means Natlie is voted out here or in the off chance that Rob replaced Natlie with ashley than she is voted off here
Final IC: Rob or Grant beats Matt. The reason I believe Matt does not win the Final IC is because if he went to the finals than he would win no contest, but Rob's edit especially last week with the grueling challenge over the top win edit pretty much means that he wins the game. So Matt has to loose here.
Final Tribal: Matt voted out obviously
Jury Break Down: Rob wins the game because he wins all the Zapatera votes and here's why. Many of the Zapatera have expressed in their interviews that they are more bitter towards Grant, Natlie, Ashley, and Andrea than Rob, since they realize that Rob is just doing what he should to win, but the others are just brainless zombies playing to give Rob the title. Furthermore the quote where its stated that the Zaps make up the jury means that the Zaps will w/o a doubt vote together as one unit and they will all vote for Rob rather than !!*$% Phillip or the Rob Zombie Grant.
As for the rest:
Natlie is being told by Rob that he'll take her to the final 3, so when he votes her out at Final 4 +1, she will be bitter and probably vote for Grant
It doesn't seem like Rob has ever told Ashley that he's taking her to the final 3 (though maybe we just didn't see it in the show) so she might be less bitter and could cast her vote for Rob or Grant
Andrea is kind of a Wild Card since I can easily see her voting for anyone of the three. Andrea seemed to actually not dislike Phillip, She also seems smart enough that while burned by Rob she might still realize he played the best game and vote for him, but she may also be the type of player to respect Grants Physical game in the end especially if he is the one to beat Matt at the final IC.
Matt is a wild card because will he really forgive and forget like his religion says to do. In which case I ask will he end up casting his vote for the guy who fucked him over 3 times lol.
Anyway Rob only needs the Zap votes to win, so even if everyone else votes for Grant or Phillip, Rob will still win the game. So thats my prediction Rob Wins RI and thats why Jeff says its one of the best seasons of all time (Because his man crush won). Hope this is the right place to post this, but discuss and tell me if I'm wrong or right.
