Nobody on Galu, that's for sure. My guess is Mick or Liz since Russell's a troll, Jaison will get worn down by the elements (and is a challenge threat) and Nat is invisible like the Galuvians.

I mean, when you watch Survivor, you also play with your mind of what's going to happen next and when you watch the episodes and what's on your mind happens, then it's definitely predictable.

But heck, I'm sure it will be predictable if you read hints, spoilers and other stuffs before watching the show or an episode.

Based on editing or spoilers? Cuz Mick is not an obvious choice at all based on editing.

It was the most predictable season ever. Seriously, all of these shots of Earl standing on high ground made even casual viewers know he's going to win.

Really? Up until the final episode I thought JT is our token dumb guy and Stephen is going to win.

It depends on your definition of predictable.

For me predictable is being able to see what will happen and/or who will be booted 2 or 3 episodes ahead of time. And that's happened in a few seasons. And yes, some winners are given to us on a silver platter right in episode 1.
