A One Man Show

Now with only seven castaways left, one man stands.  The women have annihilated Jonas, Michael, Jay, Leif and Troy one by one.  Tarzan now stands alone but will he be the next one to go home?

In the previous episode, Troy seemed to almost make it by for targeting Christina who is obviously the woman on the outs.  She nearly survived the vote when it turned out to be 4 for Troy 3 for Christina and 1 for Chelsea.  

Tarzan may actually be in a good position at this point because for the remaining six women, it seems who ever it is to be the first person to turn on the others will be the one to get to the end.  When there is only one man left who has an extra vote in hand would probably be the perfect time to turn on another woman.  

Troy was very smart in his last episode when he decided he would try to get inside of Kat's head.  He was very successful because she hated being seen as a follower and felt like she would rather turn on power house Kim and get voted out than make it to the end as a follower.  This is making Kat a loose cannon and she will probably be willing to vote for anyone at this point.  

Tarzan needs to egg on what Troy had started earlier.  If he breaks Kat, she may have the power to pull over Christina and another woman to vote Kim out.  

That doesn't seem to be what the previews show though.  In the previews, Sabrina seems to be gunning for Kat because she doesn't trust her anymore and Kat is talking about voting for Sabrina.  The ironic thing is when they are saying these things they are talking to Kim.  This proves that Kim and Chelsea still hold all of the power in this episode. 

My prediction is that Tarzan will pull what Chris from Vanuatu did for a while and let the women turn on each other.  He will either win immunity or dodge the bullet and it will turn out to be either Sabrina, Kat, or Christina going done on Wednesday.

Also, an important note for this episode would be Kim still has the idol in hand!  This guarantees herself to make it to at least the next round or to the final five if she saves it.  In my opinion if Sabrina, Kat, Christina, or Alicia want a shot at winning the MUST turn on Chelsea and Kim now!

Does Kim Have Complete Control Over the Game?

My answer to that question is she already has.  At the beginning of this season, Kim was very much a background player following the lead of either Alicia or Sabrina but was secretly making decisions with Chelsea on what to do.  Good thing for both Kim and Chelsea, hiding their power early on in the game has let the seize control over the majority of the players.
If you think about it, Kim and Chelsea have control over Sabrina, Kat and possibly Alicia and Christina.  They also have a great influence on Jay, Troyzan and Michael.  When you are in the final 11 and have control over 9 of those votes, that easily makes you the most powerful player in the game.
In the previews for tonights episode it warns us a power player will get played.  Now who could that possibly be?  At this point pretty much anyone but Leif.  By power player they could mean anything from physical players: Jay, Kim, Chelsea, Michael and Troyzan.  Players with power: Kim and Chelsea along with the rest of the girls and new salani tribe.  Or a loose cannon player: Alicia, Christina and Greg (Tarzan).  I can't really tell you what is going to happen tonight...

Kim and Chelsea have two options either to keep all the girls around and either target the strong guys Michael, Troyzan, and Jay or the crazy guy Greg.  Their other option would be to turn on one of their own and vote out Christina or Alicia to work on destroying the new manano tribe.
Troyzan also has a lot of power now that he has found the hidden immunity idol.  He he ends up suspecting a big move from the women against the men he can easily use it to blind side one of the girls.
Who ever goes home tonight will definitely shock me because I have no idea who it will be.
