The problem is that Kellyn clearly thinks she's tightest with Dom and Wendell, which is both hilariously wrong and also probably what tanked her game with the girls. There's just absolutely no way that Kellyn turns against them, especially not at this point.

Best suggestion I've heard for revamping Ghost Island mechanics is that the winning tribe draws rocks and the odd rock gets to personally choose who goes to Ghost Island. Again, choice.

I think the actual concept of Ghost Island is pretty cool in a cheesy Survivor way but the execution has been flawed in basically every way.

I think Kellyn can turn against Dom and Wendell in the wake of this past tribal and her feeling like they were willing to risk her instead of just voting out Laurel. The bigger possibility I see is the opposite and Dom and Wendell turning on Kellyn because they're upset about two weeks of her panicking and then pulling out that double vote to try and get out Laurel. I'm not sure that's a guarantee because it might be showing their hand with Laurel a bit. Or they might just not be upset about the double vote given their idols. Or they might be annoyed at Laurel for going rogue too and voting Kellyn. But mostly I just can easily see Dom, Kellyn, and maybe Laurel clashing over this tribal, Dom being tired of dealing with Kellyn, and Kellyn being angry that she isnt in Dom and Wendell's power spot and wanting to flex her muscles. But again, the problem is Kellyn can't make the move without turning all of the Navati B Team AND one of Donathan and Laurel. And it doesn't make sense for Laurel to turn on Dom and Wendell's now that Kellyn and the Navati B Team would have the numbers with all the other Mololos gone. Plus I'm just not convinced Kellyn can get all the Navati B Team. I'm not confident she can get any of them, to be honest.

I say it every season. I don't know why anyone ever wastes any energy on any twists or themes because 9 out of 10 times they're meaningless by Week 5 or something. In this case I've gotten a kick out of some of the resurrected idols. And we got Ozzy's f---ing stick back. So I'm calling Ghost Island a win.

 This is my understanding of groupings right now. Sea Bass just seems to be kind of clueless and following the general vibe. I don't know what side he will end up on. Donathan did vote for him last night and he was happy to work with Angela and Chelsea. But who knows. He always votes with the majority. I believe Chelsea and Angela are Kellyn's final 3. I think Kellyn is next to go. She just burned the Dom/Wendell bloc and clearly the most dangerous in her own bloc.

I think the Kellyn, Angela, and Chelsea thing is heavily suspect. They left Angela out of the Chris vote, Chelsea openly said she didn't feel with Kellyn way back when she was working with Bradley, and the only real indication we've had of them scheming together is that one well scene where they considered flipping to vote out Libby and then ended up voting different ways from each other. And of course Desi ended up turning on Kellyn and not trusting Chelsea or Angela enough bring them in on it. Which could mean they're with Kellyn or just that Desi thought they were. My best guess is Chelsea, Sebastian, and Angela are all just floating in the Navati grouping since there is no clear line between Dom/Wendel and Kellyn so there's no reason for them to take a side yet. I have my suspicions about where they'll fall but its all random guessing since we've seen almost nothing about them gamewise. Angela especially seems pretty rogue and Sebastian seems totally aloof. Chelsea, who knows? So I'd basically just move the Angela and Chelsea pictures to the same "?" as Sebastian, but I'd put them all as part of the big Navati group. Because they're not really "dangling" in the way Donathan has kind of become or Kellyn might have.

That's fair and in both understandings of alliances, Dom/Wendell/Laurel/Dom will align and decimate the others.

Maybe. Donathan doesn't seem like he really wants to work with Dom and Wendell anymore but he's never really seemed to have a clear alternative plan. And we've seen Dom just a week ago say that he doesn't plan to go the end with Wendell. So I think its going to be more complicated than those four just riding through. Wendell and Laurel might be down with that F4 though, not sure. I get the sense Wendell's just convinced he can win the social game and Laurel's just backed herself into a corner. Which Donathan might have as well. But I'd be surprised if at least one of that four isn't gone by F5. Plus there's 3 idols between them so who the hell knows how that plays?

Yeah, I don't know that "pick someone or its one of you" would actually change it since I imagine it wouldn't take long for them to reason out "so the special power stays in my tribe and I have a chance of getting it?" It also would potentially run the risk of one tribe dominating and just collecting powers becuase they never go to Tribal. Although I suppose that's easily enough rectifying with the tribe swaps and an early merge.

Now if you're with Dom and Wendell you have a 4-3 edge, you take out another no-edit Naviti for the 4-2 lead and then flip sides and win.

The problem with that is still the question of where Chelsea, Sebastian, and Angela are in this. If Laurel and Donathan try and play double agents and they get ratted out then it blows up in their faces. They basically need to find a way for Kellyn to do all the dirty work so she takes the heat. And directly influence Kellyn on that still runs the risk of her ratting you out, and she seems like she absolutely would. I'm still a little on the fence about Kellyn. I'm leaning towards her being a deluded "puppetmaster" with a nice smile and affable touch. But a lot of comes back to Chelsea and Angela. If she DOES have them as she seems to think (and as Desi thought) then it at least explains some of her decision making, her stubborn refusal to believe Desi would betray her, or how that split tribe thing made her really vulnerable. That's giving her a lot of benefit of the doubt but since we really have no idea what those B Teamers are doing it seems fair to say that she might genuinely have them and her game just got thrown apart by Desi and the split.

Russell was kind of a big deal I guess. I was living in Canada when he played, and his ugly-rear end face was front and center of a billboard for Heroes vs Villains, near the heart of downtown Toronto. Doesn't people refer to him a fair bit in the first Australian season as well?

I'll never not find it funny that Russell managed to make the end of the game twice and get his rear end whipped both times at Final Tribal and yet somehow he spawned a generation of players who said "Yeah... that's the guy I should emulate."

Maybe he can threepete it and lose again at the end. I could believe the rumor though. Would be a good way to get people talking about Survivor Australia and might even lead into a crossover between the US, Aussie, and Kiwi survivors?

Must be a dumb American legal thing. Australia could try to recruit more Americans, but I'm not sure how much luck they would have. The time commitment is nearly double for a much smaller prize.

Realistically though, If they went with a US vs. Aussie vs. Kiwi Survivor, they'd only have to find 8 US Survivors willing to do it (Then would have 3 - 8 player tribes). I bet it wouldn't be that hard to find 8 former US Castaways that would do it for the love of the game / fame, and not really caring about the prize.
