Episode 06 - Rafe Outed!

Episode 06 will go down in Survivor history. It was an episode of historic 1sts. It was the first time we saw two tribe members face off (literally) after a challenge. It was the first time that a tribe member was SO vocal towards his tribe during a TC. And it was the first time that a human was run over by a giant jungle ball (Indiana Jones was chased by a giant jungle ball too as you remember, yet was able to escape unharmed - unlike poor Amy).

Merge on the horizon?
If next week is truly the merge of the two tribes - then Rafe & Steph will be able to reunite with their original alliance with Gary & Amy. This, I believe, is the core alliance in the game right now. In addition, Steph & Rafe have a loyal following in Lydia and can add her as a secondary alliance. The other tribe members are so fractured right now that they couldn't possibly pose a threat to the core alliance.

Rafe put on the spot at TC
Rafe's strategy in this game is to make others think that he is just along for the ride - but, compliments of the other hot mouth in this game - Jamie, it has been made clear that this strategy is not very appreciated by some. "HAVE AN OPINION RAFE!" were the words shouted in Rafe's direction by Jamie. Could it be that Rafe's equity has been somewhat decreased in this game by that comment? Has Rafe's strategy been "outed" in front of his tribe?

Rafe's current odds for the win - 60%
