Ciera is terrible at strategy and competition and yet lots of people want her back for another season. I don't get it.

We're watching different seasons

I would have picked Monica over Hayden for the reward if I were Ciera. Might be easier to convince Monica to switch.

She made the error of playing for Tyson at one point, though Hayden/Caleb could have just cut her loose at final 4 and dragged Katie to the end. Her, Hayden, and Vytas are all worthy of returning. I wouldn't mind seeing Merissa back either, as she was pretty much screwed.

There's no convincing Monica--Tina & Laura destroyed that opportunity Of course I never thought they'd draw rocks last week

Ciera's fatal flaw in this game was she jumped sides 1 episode too late. Though if she some how makes the final she'll probably win.

Monica played it safe...final lock...no chance to win
Fresh Meat#12
Was really hoping Monica would flip. At least RI will at least be interesting next week.

I don't think she could beat Hayden or Ciera either. I think she made the right move, even if it isn't the one that would have been most interesting. Her best bet is that the jury hates Tyson and Gervase and that she wins by default.

Hayden vs. Laura is a good matchup....Tina has no chance

Maybe. I think she would have had a better shot to beat Ciera and Hayden if she got there had she made the big move this week. That said, if Tina or Laura came back Monica risked falling to 4th in that group and out of it. Not an easy call for her. I understand what she did.

It'd be hilariously ironic if Tina somehow won haha. Wait, final already next week? We're getting the final RI duel, two immunity challenges, and 3 TCs? Seems like quite a bit to fit into 2 hours.

Same here. Unless Ciera goes on an immunity streak (which I highly doubt happens), my hopes of her winning are null and void.

Whoever comes back from RI will most likely be targeted before Ciera, so it is possible that she would only need to win F4 immunity.

Very true.

Agreed--unless Tina somehow comes back or Hayden/Laura win immunity...then she's done
Fresh Meat#21
Best final 3 would be Tyson/Cierra/Hayden, but there's almost no way that's happening. Gervase/Monica have no shot though. Who do you guys think would be bitter? I can so far, easily say Vytas.

I don't think anyone will be bitter once it comes time to vote. Aras and Hayden were both as far from bitter as possible with their exit, and should have a big influence on the other jury members who might be bitter.

Especially if it's Laura. Her Redemption Island wins are definitely making her the biggest threat to win immunity if she comes back into the game next week.

I agree with these choices for returning. I do wish they would have put Hayden on an all newbie season. I feel like he would have been a bigger star than he was on this season. To me, Hayden finally popped up from the background two episodes ago. Gervase temper is getting the better of him these past tribal councils. It's not a good look for him. You could tell the jury doesn't like that about him.

****it Monica.

Why do you say that? Hayden hasn't shined in any competition so far. I'd say it's still Tina and Laura's game to lose.

It really depends what the RI challenge is. I think that Laura is the heavy favorite to come back though. The RI challenges typically favor those who excel at puzzles or are smaller. Hayden fits neither criteria, and unless they change up the type of RI challenge, Hayden is probably the least likely person to return (although Tina looks really frail).
