Candice mutinied because she became paranoid that Becky and Yul were plotting to vote her out. It wasn't because of Sundra, whom she actually expected would mutiny along with her.

If Candice hadn't mutinied, I still don't think the challenges change. Ozzy was so dominant, and it certainly wasn't because of Candice that Raro lost. (Jonathan might have cost Aitu a challenge, particularly the cannonball drop, but that isn't a guarantee.) Brad was probably still the odd man out for Raro though he probably would have put up more of a fight if he didn't have "obvious boot" Jonathan around. Rebecca's weakness at challenges, at least the later ones, would have been even more of an issue as they fell behind Aitu, so she probably still would have been next. The second boot of the double elimination TC would have been interesting. Without Jonathan around, who would Jenny have targeted? Parvati, perhaps? I can definitely see both Nathan and Parvati still voting for Jenny, but Adam would be the toughest vote. He was closest to Jenny, and without Candice there to rely on, he might have considered voting for someone else to keep Jenny in the game. However, he was close with Nathan and Parvati also, and he would have preferred to keep Nathan's strength at least. In the end, it probably still would have been Jenny out.

At the merge, Aitu is up 6 - 3. Without the bonding that occurred due to the underdog status, Aitu is actually vulnerable. Both Ozzy and Sundra know they are on the outside of the main alliance, and Candice is presumably still worried about Yul and Becky and has options with the other tribe. The Aitu target would probably be Adam, who also was the primary target for exile prior to the mutiny. Candice and Sundra jump with Ozzy holding back. The Raro vote is for Yul, who doesn't reveal his immunity idol in advance because it wasn't apparently necessary. He still gets to play it though, and Adam leaves.

Now, there's a 4 - 4 deadlock, but the Raro bonds are stronger. Ozzy, the outsider of Aitu, actually has ties to Nathan, and I'm sure Jonathan would recognize a need to improve his situation as well. The only question is whether Ozzy has everyone scared enough to boot him when he fails to win immunity (or does he fail with Adam out of the game?). In any case, I think either Ozzy or Yul would end up leaving.

From there, who knows, but it would be likely that the Raros control the game from that point, and if Candice navigates herself to the end sans Adam, she has a great shot against any of the other Raros. She wouldn't get Ozzy's vote, but the other three she would have left at the merge are all rational players whose votes she still could get, particularly against her likely competition. Plus, Candice might have a good shot at the votes of Jenny, Brad, and Rebecca who were turned on by their former allies.
