COMMENTS & QUESTIONS

(A) What did you think of this episode? Please be as detailed as you can, wherever possible.
This episode was just great! Despite last week's slow and somewhat boring result, I find myself agreeing with the other posters who have said that, if only we can keep up this standard, Micronesia will turn out to be a fantastic season. I really liked the strategising this episode and how it also developed lots of the characters. However, there are still a few people that we're still waiting to hear from- hopefully we'll see them some more in episode 4. I never would have guessed coming into it that there would be more INVs on the favourites, but it just goes to show that you're developing the fans really well, better than they did on the real show. Natalie is lost of fun to read, as is Mikey B despite his negativity. Erik had a great story arc, and its just amazing that the strategy on Airai has now become even more complicated than that on Malakal.
(B) What was your overall favorite part of the episode?
Tribal council. Even though I sort of knew what would happen (why else would you have included that Erik didn't mention that back-up plan to Mikey?).
(C) What would you rate this episode out of 10? (1 being the lowest; 10 being the highest)
9- really good for this point in the game. However, there wasn't very much development for the Favourites- we learnt nothing new except for the female alliance which wasn't even new because it was on the preview at the end of last week's episode.
(D) Do you have any questions about this episode that you'd like to see cleared up in a future episode or at the Reunion Show?
Just one question for you, GuatemalaFanfic:
Are you going to keep who finds the idol a secret for as long as possible? I think it really adds to the suspense if the outcome isn't so obvious. I remember how in Cook Islands you didn't reveal it immediately and it worked out really well, so I hope you keep this up.

Brooke

2. WHAT'S NEXT POLL

(A) Which castaway(s) will be voted off in Episode 4?
I at looks as though we'll certainly be losing a big character next episode- Either Mikey B or Joel if Airia loses immunity, or Sherea or Terry if Malakal goes to TC. Right now, my best guess would probably be Sherea for throwing the challenge, because that would even the numbers up (making an upcoming shuffle more exciting) and also end her story arc, which is becoming irrelevant without Dave or another antagonist. If Terry went, Sherea would become redundant.
(B) Which two castaways will be sent to Exile Island? (One from each tribe)
Earl and Mikey... just a random guess.
(C) Do you have any other predictions for Episode 4?
Not really

4. EDGIC POLL

Ratings:

Alexis - UTR1 (saved by a TCQ, but I still don't think it makes a difference to her winning chances)
Ami - CP3
Aras - UTR2
Brooke - MOR3 (CP?)
Earl - INV1
Eliza - UTR2 (we were supposed to be happy that her name was cleared and be rooting for her against Terry, but the P was negated by her 'losers' comment)
Erik - CPM5 (We were meant to root against him, but still appreciate his position through all the 'game mode' confessionals. Certainly not a true villain)
Ian - INV1
Jason - CPP5 (Could aslo be OTT for his continual presence and somewhat exaggerated positivity, but we got into his head a lot)
Joel - MORN3 (The comment at TC garners him a firm N)
Kathy - UTRP2
Mary - UTR2 (supported Jason early on, but did nothing else all episode)
Mikey - MORN4 (Losers comment)
Natalie - MOR3
Ruth Marie - MORP3 (Made out by Ami's SPV to be a positive character)
Sherea - UTR1 (Obligatory note that she'll almost definitely be the complete opposite, OTT5, next week)
Terry - MORN2 (He was clearly set up as the villain to be dealt more with next week, even if we didn't really see too much of him)
Tracy - CPP4 (The great strategising is mostly to her credit, and we were supposed to be supporting her plan going into TC)

Current Chart



* Please factor in your own ratings for Episode 3 for the following questions

1) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think have the best chance of winning?

1. Tracy- Easily the most well-rounded edit so far, and logically she has a great chance too if she gets lucky with the swap.

2. Brooke- The calmer, less in-your-face version of Eliza. She's certainly in this game for the long haul, and her chances are only getting better.

3. Eliza- Cool-down this week was good for her chances, but she's still coming off as a distraction in terms of visibility

4. Ami- This week's CP is good for her, but her first two episodes weren't as strong as the three picks above.

Aras still has the chance of a redemption edit. At the moment he's Terry's sidekick, so Terry's boot would probably be the best thing to boost his edgic chances.
Kathy also still has a chance if her visibility stays low for a little bit longer due to her strong premiere. Even when she isn't such a major character, she's still memorable.
Joel is also still in it, statistically, but I don't think the visibility has been backed up enough with genuine character development so far.
Sherea's not yet elimitated but doesn't have too much going for her compared to the others.

2) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think are not eligible to be the winner, and are therefore "eliminated?"

Ruth-Marie- If it weren't for the INV premiere, she'd be looking good, but it can't be redeemed- a winner wouldn't be ignored in a premiere that involved her tribe going to TC.
Earl- No development, and completely ignored. Now with an INV to top it off.
Ian- Same as Earl
Jason- Far too visible; distraction
Mikey- Too extreme, distraction
Alexis- Not enough development, weak ep1*
Mary- Weak premiere*
Natalie- Weak premiere*
Terry- To negative, clearly the villain.

* Fingers crossed that we see more from these 3 later on, but they're not looking to good right now.

Just another reminder that at this point it's still anybody's game thematically- the fans still have a decent chance of coming out on top. Note that the anamosity amongst some of the favourites is not present on Airai despite their crazy scrambling- both of the castaways that they have voted out said that they hope a fan will win before leaving TC.
