Welcome to the home of John Powell's 'Survivor: One World' predictions (Tale of the Torch), his episode recaps and interviews. Come back to find out who he thinks will be voted out and track the progress of each player.
Episode 13: "Gouge My Eyes Out"
On the next 'Survivor': "The million-dollar prize and title of Sole Survivor is within reach for one of the five remaining castaways. Meanwhile, a few castaways strike a final three deal while aboard a moving ship far from their fellow tribemates."
Episode 13: Boot Prediction
Powell's Pick Ratio: 8 / 11
Abi-Marie Gomes
Now that there is no longer the threat of a Hidden Immunity Idol, Abi is done in the game. You would think someone would keep her around for the jury vote since she has ruffled so many feathers but the alliance pairs (Lisa, Michael and Denise, Malcolm) are too secure to make any such move to flips things at this phase in the game. Check back on Sunday for my finale predictions.
New Tribe
Denise Stapley
Her alliance with Malcolm could very well be one of the strongest of the entire season, if they can make that all-important merger. As a therapist, Denise has all the skills to read and peg people in an accurate and distinctive manner.
Malcolm Freberg
His alliance with Denise could be the one to beat. He bills himself as the next Russell Hantz and if so, he will either crash and burn or carried along because of his bad reputation with the other players.
Lisa Whelchel
She needs to start playing the game and making some moves. If she can bond with Michael, she may have a chance. An actress and die-hard fan of Survivor.
Abi-Marie Gomes
She has the Hidden Immunity Idol and another strong pairing in the game with Pete.
Michael Skupin
With so much to prove and a Survivor legacy haunting him, he will be the most determined. A charismatic leader, Michael is sure to build a strong alliance around himself.
Jury
Carter Williams
A challenge threat.
Jonathan Penner
Not part of the core alliance, a returning player.
Pete Yurkowski
Too much of a plotter.
Artis Silvester
Not ever part of the core alliance.
Jeff Kent
His alliance turned on him.
RC Saint Amour
The second boot choice after Jonathan played the Hidden Immunity Idol.
Loser Lodge
Katie Hansan
The male alliance at Kalabaw took her out.
Sarah Dawson
The male alliance at Kalabaw targeted her.
Dana Lambert
Became sick and had to leave the game for medical reasons.
Russell Swan
Not part of the Malcolm, Denise alliance.
Angie Layton
Not very strong when it came to challenges, Denise wanted to strengthen her bond with Malcolm.
Roxy Morris
With no support tried to take out Angie and Malcolm.
Zane Knight
Made too many alliances right out of the gate.
