COMMENTS & QUESTIONS
(A) What did you think of this episode? Please be as detailed as you can, wherever possible.
In the words of Eliza, "OH MY GOD!" I was shocked to see Earl go. I thought for sure everyone would switch to Tracy after Terry was given
immunity. Poor Earl
I liked the switch, and I think there's definitely two great stories going on with both tribes. I can't wait to see how Malakal reacts to the vote.
I would actually like to see them go to TC because I haven't really seen Ami/Brooke/Aras/Ian/Sherea in that last-minute strategy session for a long time.
I'm really anxious to see Ami/Aras in action.
Here's a question I have: Did we ever seen Mikey or Ruth find the idol last episode? I can't remember, but did Mikey actually find it and was
it shown in the episode?
(B) What was your overall favorite part of the episode?
The swap in general. I like the outcome and I'm really anxious to see how everything plays out.
(C) What would you rate this episode out of 10? (1 being the lowest; 10 being the highest)
8.5 (Great pre-TC strategy, good airtime from the non-TC tribe, and interesting storylines)
(D) Do you have any questions about this episode that you''d like to see cleared up in a future episode or at the Reunion Show?
No
1. SOLE SURVIVOR POLL
(A) Which castaway will be the Sole Survivor?
Joel
2. WHAT'S NEXT POLL
(A) Which castaways will be voted off in Episode 6?
Kathy and Terry
(B) Do you have any other predictions for Episode 6? (Sorry for no preview yet)
Although Joel and Aras are the two targets on Malakal, Kathy's edit this episode felt like it was leading up to her boot next episode. I think she'll
have a hard time getting in an alliance, and I could see her screwing up in the challenge and being voted off. It would be obvious to see Joel or Aras go, but
something tells me it's Kathy. It could be Aras, because it could be a paired Aras/Terry boot. Kind of like killing two birds with one stone.
At Airai, I think the vote will be between Eliza and Terry, both gunning for each other. Terry's point will be Eliza flipped and can't be trusted,
Eliza's will be Terry's allegiance to Aras.

4. EDGIC POLL
* For readers familiar with the concept of Edgic.
For more information Edgic, please visit this thread: EDGIC
(A) Edgic for my fanfics has been very successful over the past few seasons, so I would love to get some reader involvement in determining Edgic ratings again.
Please submit your own ratings in this thread. Ratings will be compiled and I'll post the final ratings in a chart before the next episode.
Rating: INV, UTR, MOR, CP, OTT
Tone: NN, N, Mixed (M) , Neutral (), P, PP
Visibility: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Alexis - MOR3
Ami - CPM4
Aras - CPM3 (Close to negative for his fight with Ami, but he understood what he did wrong and I think he was genuinely sorry that he hurt Ami)
Brooke - CP3
Earl - CP3
Eliza - CP5
Ian - MOR3
Jason - MOR3
Joel - MOR2
Kathy - MOR2
Mary - MOR2
Mikey - CP4
Ruth Marie - UTR1
Sherea - UTR2
Terry - MOR2
Tracy - CP4
Hmm, this episode was really neutral-toned. Nobody really stood out as overly negative or positive for me.
* Please factor in your own ratings for Episode 5 for the following questions
1) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think have the best chance of winning?
1. Joel (I think a fan is going to win this, because the Favorites are starting to pick at each other, and the Fans are kind of sitting back and watching.
With Tracy becoming a little more distracting, Joel continues to be that guy who's laying low, but has a good head. I can't believe how different he
his in this story, but I really like him. Also, something tells me a man is going to win. The women sticking together is becoming too predictable, so I think
a male is going to come in from behind and take it home. Out of all the men, Joel has the best edit.)
2. Tracy (Strong Fan, but I think she's becoming a distraction and is going to fall just short of winning. She's very close to #1, though.)
3. Eliza (Having her UTR in episodes 3/4, then come back with a CP in episode 5, I think her chances are good. She took a cool down so she could have a strong
comeback. Her chances are rising, for sure.)
4. Ami (Just because I don't think Brooke has any substance to her. Brooke is a little more boring, although she has had good ratings, I just think
she's too bland to win.)
I would rank Jason as #5 and Brooke as #6.
2) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think are not eligible to be the winner, and are therefore "eliminated?"
Distractions: Kathy, Mikey
Too ignored: Alexis, Ian, Mary, Ruth Marie
Close to Elimination: Aras, Sherea, Terry
That covers everyone!
It looks like next episode will be a double boot. I hope each tribe goes to TC, because I would really like to see Malakal during a time of intense
strategy.
