Survivor Fiji preview

As promised, here is the Survivor Fiji

Here's what's new this time around
2 idols
19 contestants
1 tribe (to start - I predict this lasts maybe 2 weeks)
"The winning tribe lives in luxury, the losers in slum-like conditions" (further leading me to believe that this "1 tribe" hook won't last long)

Contestant break down :

10 Males
9 Females
9 from California (5 male/4 female)
10 from other parts of U.S. (5 male/5 female)
Californians - 5 from Los Angeles (2 m 3 f), 4 from other parts of Califonia

I almost thing they will split them into California vs the rest of the U.S. when the split them into tribes. They've done male vs female, old vs young, and separated them by race, geographically is about the only demographic they haven't used yet.

Ages :
23-30 : 10 (5 m / 5 f)
30-40 : 5 (3 m / 2 f)
40 + : 4 (2m / 2f)

The edge deginitely goes to the younger crowd here with just over half being between 23-30 years old. It depends on how they split the tribes.

I had a much further in depth analysis planned but didn't get started on it soon enough. Even still here we go: I will be cheering for Alex for now but I don't really see him lasting all the way because he is a lawyer and people have a general dislike/distrust of lawyers these days. There is another person who works within the legal system (Anthony) so I'm going to say he gets ousted sooner rather than later as well. Also getting an early boot will be the two loan officers (Mookie & Iliana). Bankers being almost as unpopular as lawyers! And because the winner has seldom been one of the older contestants, I am also going to say the ones over 50 won't get the $$$ either. There goes another 3 players (Gary,Sylvia,& Yau-Man). I also think Lisette (Lisi) will go early. She works as a Customer Service Rep for a psychic service company and has worked as a paralegal as well. People's disbelief of psychic services may get her ridiculed and talked about behind her back. (I'm saying she goes first). Also not going far will be Boo (PARDON?) - He considers himself a cerebral athlete and I think he may outsmart himself with arrogance. Also falling victim to his own arrogance will be James - he considers himself to be a "man's man" - (whatever that means).
This leaves 9 people. 6 women, 3 men. I will say that the 3 men go before the 6 women do (not neccessarily all in a row, but eventually). That takes out Earl,Dre,& Edgardo. Next to go would be the ones that people on the jury would likely vote for to get the $$$ due to being nice or having the sympathy vote : Cassandra (seems likeable), Erica (from Louisiana : sympathy vote, Rita (single mom, might need the money = sympathy vote), Michelle (student = needs money = gets sympathy).

I think the final 2 will be Jessica & Stacy, with Stacy winning final immunity and taking Jessica to the final with her because Jessica is a church goer and willbe preaching the gospel and people don't like that ("ohmy god, she's a bible thumper" syndrome) and will have annotyed the jury to the point that they award Stacy the million dollars.

I will likely end up being wrong on a lot of my points but my analysis was done very quickly. We'll see
Either way : Enjoy! Survivor is back!

Survivor Fiji

Survivor Fiji starts tomorrow. 19 people this time around and they are starting with one tribe. Something I thought of about 3 survivors ago. I expect my royalty check soon, thank you!
For now I will state that I am going to cheer for Alex (of course) but before tomorrow's show I will run down all the contestants and give my predictions and such.
For now I will say that for as long as the one tribe format lasts,(and who knows how long that is? maybe 2 weeks at best? that's one thing about survivor thats always annoyed me - "this years twist" which ends up lasting a week or 2 at most) the two guys I would normally pick to go first may last a bit longer as they (seemingly) would be easier to beat in challenges. (Gary and Yau-man). They are 2 slightly older guys and they usually dont last long. Usually.
I'll predict that Lisette (Lisi) goes first.
