Since I will be going to Florida until May 18th I will be missing both the Survivor Micronesia and the Paradise Hotel 2 finales. Because of my trip I will also not be able to post updates or rehashes until I get back. So in preparation for this trip and a little time off from the blog, I’m going to give my predictions of what will happen in both the Survivor and Paradise Hotel finales. Let’s get started.

SURVIVOR MICRONESIA FINALE

We all know this season has been insane and I can’t believe I’m going to have to go a whole week without knowing who won. I have a few predictions on who will though but first lets rank the remaining four females.

Least likely to win I feel is Natalie. She only has a handful of fellow “fans” on the jury and well she screwed two of the three over. Jason and Erik will in no way be voting for Natalie to win and I don’t believe she got close to any of the guys or Eliza for that fact. Because of that she will most likely only receive any type of vote from Alexis. If the three favorite girls are smart they will take Natalie to the end, knowing she can’t win. Her only real hope of making the final three is the last individual immunity or Cirie waking up and realizing she can’t beat Amanda.

Parvati is the most likely one to come in third in this race to the finish. She started off very strong by playing a huge game but she has too many enemies on the jury. She was the main reason Eliza and Ozzy were voted out and both despise her. She hasn’t played too big of a role since then as she’s somewhat hidden behind Amanda now. I think that if she did get to the end the only votes she could receive are from Alexis and Natalie. She made an alliance with them and kind of strung them along. But then again she did say she was closer to Amanda so they may end up giving their votes to someone else.

The next two get kind of tricky as it all depends on how things go down in the last episode. Cirie and Amanda both hold a great shot of winning. I think its a toss up between the two and it all depends on in both are actually in the finals are not. Since I have a feeling the three favorites will be the final three I will base the next rankings on the fact that Cirie and Amanda will both probably be in the finals.

When it comes to the jury votes I think it’s hard to know who would win without looking at how each would vote. Eliza would hands down vote for Cirie as they were buddy buddy the entire time and Cirie was sympathetic towards Eliza leaving. Amanda will no doubt get Ozzy’s vote and James’ vote as they were both kind of clinging to her the entire game. I could see Cirie getting Erik’s vote along with Natalie’s vote so that leaves Alexis and Jason. Alexis wasn’t too keen on Amanda in the end and seemed to bond more with Cirie so I could see her voting that way. Jason then becomes the last vote which I’m not entirely sure which way he would go. Now looking at the votes it seems Cirie has the best shot of winning the game if she can actually make it to the finals this time. We all know Amanda does not handle the last tribal council well as she bombed horribly at it in China. It’s going to be a close one come Sunday night and I wish you all the best joy out of watching it while I’m in Florida!

PARADISE HOTEL 2 FINALE

Last time on Paradise Hotel 2 we were set in stone with the final couples. It ended up being Krista/Mike, Steph/Zack and Ryan/TD. The also said that one of the couples will be sent home before the finals and therefore only have a final two couples in the end. This makes things complicated as we really have no idea who is in the finale yet so my predictions will be somewhat more difficult.

TD/Ryan have a very unique pairing as they were on polar opposite sides of the game. This could be of benefit to them though as they have friends from both sides to vote for them to win. That benefit could also hurt though considering people like Myrna who although they were friends with TD, they may not vote for her to win because they don’t want to see Ryan win.

Stephanie and Zack are the only new people in the final three and both are paired together. Zack came in rather late in the game while Stephanie was the first new girl. They’ve bonded in the short time they’ve known each other but will people use that against them? I think people are a little annoyed by both Stephanie and Zack and the only votes they may get are from the new people who they aligned themselves with.

Krista and Mike is another interesting pair and I feel they have the best shot at winning. They were both very much liked in the game and really only have a common enemy in Myrna (but who doesn’t?). That gives them one of the best shots at winning if they can actually make it to the finale. I’m not sure exactly who will be given the power to send a couple home but as of now I’m assuming Mike will receive that power. Simply because he’s well liked by both the new people and the OGs.

In the end Paradise Hotel is known for throwing crazy twists in the finale and I have no doubt they will be doing that again. That will then make my predictions null and void as a couple swap could possibly occur. But if things stay the same I have a feeling that Krista and Mike will win. If they don’t then both were screwed over as they were not only two of the most entertaining but two of the more real people there.

With a merge approaching it was time to return to Micronesia. We first returned to Malakal beach where Ami was just voted out. Erik was sure happy about it, as he should have been, and hoped a merge was approaching. That really is the only thing I think that would keep him in the game since well, he would surely have been the next voted out. The next morning Cirie announced to the foursome that it was time for a merge. They were told to quickly pack their belongings and head out to a new location. Erik was obviously excited as was Amanda. She was dieing to see Parvati and reunite the ‘love square’.

Over at Arai they all thought Erik would surely be the one out. I mean he WAS the sole fan left on the tribe so it was 99% clear that he would go. Eliza was the only one they showed commenting on the other sides tribal and she wanted Ami to stay. I don’t think she had any clue that Ami would go and was planning on joining back up with her and the fans come merge. She had no idea that her worst nightmare was about to hit her as the two invisible girls, Natalie and Alexis, announced the merge to the rest.

When the two tribes met at their “new location” they quickly reconnected. Parvati and Amanda clung to each other while the fans flocked to Erik. Eliza and Jason kind of just stood around and it was obvious they were on the outs. With Ami not there Eliza wasn’t to happy. She had no clue why she went and let us know she was basically screwed. Her plan was not going to work, since her main friend and alliance was gone, and Eliza knew she had little time left in the game.

As the tribes started to feast they quickly learned they wouldn’t be staying at their current location. They had decide which beach to go to and everyone decided Malakal would be the spot. The fans tribe was crap, not sure why they put them there to begin with, so Malakal was the obvious choice. A few interesting things went down at the feast. One was James eating a bat. Seriously, why? I mean there is no reason to even try them when you have so much great stuff there to choose from. Of course it was James so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. The other thing was Erik’s tribe name. He told everyone that in Micronesia good translates to “Dabu”. They all believed the kid so I guess that shows how smart the others are as well.

When everyone got back to the beach everything seemed to switch to the girls. Eliza tried to get out of Parvati what was going on with the Favorites alliance and she told her that it was longer happening it seems. Eliza didn’t like that too much but Parvati had other news to break. She’s been making deals dealing with Amanda for awhile now. She finally told Amanda what of a mess “they” are in and Amanda didn’t like that to much. She can’t seem to stand Alexis, since she’s stealing Ozzy away, and wants her gone. Too bad though since Parvati has put her in an alliance with Alexis who oddly has found her time on the show. Jason, on the other hand, continues to dominate the screen for some reason. Maybe it’s his cockiness but for some reason I liked him this episode since he wanted to help Eliza. He promised her he’d give her the hidden stick if he won the individual immunity. Little did she know it was just a hidden stick and not a hidden idol.

The immunity challenge was a copy from the first Palau but at least it was a good one. I was wondering when they’d be doing this one again and was glad to see it back! What they had to do was stand under a great which was in the water. As the tide rose it became harder and harder as they had to keep trying to breath through the great. All the girls dropped out first and then Erik. James was next to go after a long wait and it was then down to the two fish boys: Ozzy and Jason. Both had a similar strategy, to breath through their hands. Ozzy, who was my bet to win, struggled towards the end and gave the win to Jason. Of course he had to ruin it by saying he “dominated the entire challenge”. It wasn’t a challenge anyone COULD  dominate in but I was happy that he beat the once unbeatable Ozzy. Hopefully it knocks him down a bit and I’ll forgive the fact, this time, it was at the cost of listening to Jason say he ‘dominated’ for about the millionth time.

Back at camp things were not looking good for Eliza. Parvati basically turned everyone against her so it was pretty much set she would go. But wait! We have the hidden stick! Jason quickly whipped it out and gave it to Eliza, making one of the BEST moment of Survivor in a long time. She let him have it, telling him it wasn’t an idol and nothing but a stick. Of course he didn’t believe it and she decided to play it anyway. I guess she had nothing to lose. Amanda, on the other hand, made a move to get Alexis out for stealing her man away. Cirie went with it and I think her and Amanda will be very tight from here on out.

At Tribal Council things went a little insane. Alexis out shined everyone by giving Jeff fodder for further questions. Alexis answer to what makes someone a threat basically explained herself and allowed Cirie to call her the “triple threat”. It’s obvious Alexis and Amanda will have it out sometime and hopefully sooner then later. Eliza was the next to be attacked by the one and only Parvati. She told Eliza that everyone basically hates her and that she has played a horrible game. Eliza seemed to agree but then again she thought she had the idol. When the votes were all in Eliza decided to hand Jeff the stick. He let them know the rules of the idol and in the end confirmed what we knew, it was only a stick. Eliza then took the opportunity to let everyone know it was Jason who found it and that Ozzy hid it, meaning he has the original. Ozzy then finally fessed up to it, making Eliza’s departure to have some meaning. She was in fact then voted out, with only Jason and herself voting for Ozzy. Next week it seems Cirie turns the pot again by suggesting Ozzy and the idol get the boot. Will it happen? I’ll believe it when I see it.
