My spec. based on Probst's contestant assessments, Myspace friends and contestant bios.

The original tribes will stay intact as there will not be a tribal swap this season (the original tribes were mixed in some way the past 3 seasons). The yellow tribe is the evil tribe and will dominate the "good" red tribe by winning 6 of the 8 pre-merge Immunity Challenges.

Contestants that won't make the jury:
red tribe - Susie, Gillian, Crystal, Danny, Randy, Michelle
yellow tribe - Bob, Kelly

I expect that Bob and Susie will be the first booted from their tribes. Even though Gillian is a lot older than Susie, she has a lot of outdoor experience (scuba diving, hiking, rappeling) and could be in a lot better shape than Susie. I don't see what Susie has to offer her tribe and Probst said that she doesn't shut up.

Contestants making the jury:
red tribe - Matty, Ken, Dan
yellow tribe - Marcus, Charlie, Jacque, Paloma, Ace, Corinne, Jessica

I expect Dan to be the first juror. Seven people from the same tribe making the merger is potentially an unstable situation and I could see Ace (ala Coby), Corinne (ala Jerri) and possibly Jessica being booted before Ken and/or Matty.

It would seem that Markus would win this season hands down but the theme of good vs. evil could imply that the outcome of this season may be similar to Guatemala or Vanuatu where a member of the of the underdog tribe (see red tribe) ends up winning. I expect that a power shift occurs around Final 7 that involves the last remaining member(s) of the red tribe.

This could be one of the few seasons that there is a huge alliance shift.
