Survivor Picks: Week 5

Here are this week's picks:

1st Matt: Immunity Pick (IP) Malakal; Elimination Pick (EP) Yau Man (not eligible)
2nd Dawn IP Malakal; EP Eliza
3rd Kim: IP Malakal; EP Cirie
4th Paul: IP Airai; EP Chet
5th Carl: IP Airai; EP Natalie

Of note:

--With four different elimination picks, someone is likely to pick up the five bonus points for correctly predicting the bootee. What's more, since there is a tribal mixup, no one can be considered safe (except maybe Ozzy, who's holding)

-- This is the last week that it really kills to lose one of our top five picks, at a cost of 11-15 points. Kathleen, Eliza, Chet, and James are, once again, the only safe boots for us. Anyone else, and someone gets hammered. Kim and I are the only ones who have escaped this fate so far; Carl's been hit twice, and it shows in his score.

--Looking at everyone's picks now, I know we'd all have buyer's remorse about someone. For me, it's including Joel in my final 3. The way it looks right now, here are the other worst choices: Kim picking the seemingly unstoppable Ozzy to go out in fourteenth place, earlier than anyone else. Paul has pariah-of-the-day Jonathan picked to place second. Carl already paid for his big mistake, picking Mikey to go all the way. And Dawn is the only one to put Natalie going deep; so far Natalie has been invisible, but if she gets booted soon, it could cost Dawn a pretty point.

Good luck everyone!
