South Pacific: Ep 13

Coming down to the final episode, I don't think it's ever truly been a 3-horse race before. But it definitely is this time! Due to a rule change this year, it's hard to predict who will win. This season, everyone who makes the Final 3 automatically gets 25 points. Additionally, they'll earn 5 points for every vote they receive. With 9 jury members, this means that there's 45 points out there for the winning. This means that Top 3, BBB, and D&D are all still in the game (although some moreso than others).

The finale is on Sunday - it should be a good one!!

Power Rankings: 

1. Top 3 - Sophie did a good job of getting out of a sticky situation last episode. All eyes were on her & yet in the end both Albert & Brandon were in more danger than she was. If she makes final 4 she may be the player to beat in the endurance/mental toughness final challenge... unless Ozzy is there. Either way, this team is favored to win that challenge and increase their lead. 

2. Dungeons & Dragons - I can't believe that everyone left wants to take Coach with them to the finals. I say "wants" but this may just be their way of saying they're too scared to try and take someone out who has an idol. In any case, it's great for me! Who does Coach really want to take to the finals with him, though? At this point it seems like Rick & Albert would be his best options, but if he's sticking with this whole "go to the end with the strongest" plan, then he'll probably end up taking Ozzy & Sophie. If he does that, there's no way I can win.

3. Baseball, Belts & Bibles - Stupid Albert. All his failed coup attempts are finally catching up with him. Lucky for him that Brandon is so easy manipulated that he bought himself at least 3 more days on the island. Next week a castaway returns who may have a bigger target on their back than Albert, so he may eke through the next challenge, too! After that it's anything goes.

4. ICRWYNISTB - Dachui finally started earning points again, and then Brandon immediately tossed whatever hope remained right into the garbage. This has not been a good season for Dachui.  

5. Hide Yer Kids, Hide Yer Wife - Bagged!

6. Country Bears - Crushed!
