I think this is another first for me and Survivor. Tonight I can't even hazzard a guess (about who is going to fall).

(Yikes. It was not till I was wrapping up composing this post that I realized it is not Survivor night. This will be Wednesday. Right now, I am consumed by a head cold, antihistimanes and high stress at work, for the big monthly status meeting Thursday. (But when Survivor rolls, it will be all over and I can relax!) I'm up with insomnia at the moment. I sure do have a lot of problems running these days, don't I?)

Hard to say whether that says more about me or Survivor, but I'm just completely flummoxed.

I still think they would be out of their minds not to band against Burton, but they have yet to see that logic so far. And he's still the odds-on favorite to win immunity, so they may well not get the chance.

They'll probably knock off someone pointless, like Darrah. I have no idea why they would want to, but . . .

But I could make a case for any of them this time, and I'm too confused to unravel it.

On Burton, though, it has been ever so gratifying to watch him munch, munch munch on his "final" words from the first time he was kicked off, about how their was no doubt in his mind, not a shred of doubt, that he would win every single immunity challenge, whether mental or physical. It's been fun to see him win fewer than even Kelly, that frail little wisp of a girl on the first Survivor. (CBS did not air that portion of his final words, but there's a link on my Survivor page--icon in the left column.)

I will definitely make some predictions after tonight and before Sunday, though, and you all should too. I'll make a special thread for that sometime tomorrow. There will just be two days between episodes, so you'll have that much time to get your predictions in on how it will go from four to one, in one episode.
