That is a great observation.<br /><br />In response to your question:<br />"is mikaylas edit part of an overarching storyline that significantly alters the mid and end game -or- is it purposely structured to echoe past winners edits to keep the story unpredictable?"<br /><br />I believe it is the former, to set up and explain why Coach doesn't win and Sophie does. Coach chose the loyalty of Edna over Mikayla. Will it come back to bite him or will Edna stay loyal?<br /><br />@badnewsbuis: I will return with a new column this week. My apologies for missing this week. I did think it was a brilliant episode storytelling wise.Jayemelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427813131123839074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364157838244018020.post-45208475550979816502011-11-08T10:52:55.608-05:002011-11-08T10:52:55.608-05:00Jayemel!

I was thinking the prediction was off because the rest of the pre-merge has been a closely matched competition. But, I noticed Dawn and Cochrane are the two Savaii reluctant to galavant in the ocean. They also seem most likely to make it to the end game.<br /><br />And I have a question: The element I'm most confused of is that of Mikayla's edit- it made perfect sense she either a) become Sole Survivor or b) shown as the reason Upolu loses their lead after losing an immunity challenge in her absence. I think it's a leap in logic having her edit forecall a cross-tribal alliance because of a minority of challenge dominators if I'm understanding your point correctly. I'm sure this prediction is right-- but, the only reasonable conclusion I can come to is that her edit was a rouse, something to throw viewers like you and I off the scent.<br /><br />Thanks for another insightful post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364157838244018020.post-72118602867594800822011-11-01T11:37:29.482-04:002011-11-01T11:37:29.482-04:00Yog: Thanks for the comment!
You're right, it...Yog: Thanks for the comment!<br /><br />You're right, it is odd that I said I can only see Edna and Sophie in F3 from Upolu, but list Coach as a winner pick. Basically it's like this. Coach has a really complex and important storyline. Though I don't see him winning, I recognize that it could make logical sense that he does. My roommate and I have this debate EVERY episode.<br /><br />To put a finer point on it, I don't really see anyone other than Sophie winning, but I included three winner picks just for shits and giggles.Jayemelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427813131123839074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364157838244018020.post-87716244705984896662011-10-31T21:04:55.050-04:002011-10-31T21:04:55.050-04:00I'm following you all the way until you get to...I'm following you all the way until you get to two contrasting points;<br /><br />First you say the only two Upolu you can see making F3 due to their stories are Sophie or Edna, but then you go on to include Coach in your top three likely winner tips?Yognoreply@blogger.com
