Survivor Picks: Week 6

Here are this week's picks:

1st Matt: (IP) Airai; (EP) Kathleen
2nd Dawn IP Airai; EP Mikey B. (not eligible)
3rd Kim: IP Airai ; EP Mary (not eligible)
4th Paul: IP Malakal; EP James
5th Carl: IP Malakal; EP Jonny (not eligible)

Of note:

--Next week, our second set of picks will kick in, giving everyone a chance to make some predictions based on a fair amount of knowledge. The second set of picks will count twice as much as the first set, giving everyone a chance to take the lead in the pool. This is the first time I've mentioned it, but next week's episode airs on Wednesday, so please get those picks in to me as quickly as you can. After tonight's episode, just list the remaining survivors in the order you think they will be booted.

-- Only Paul and I are eligible for elimination pick points. Kathleen (my pick) seems like an unlikely, though possible boot. I'm not so sure about James (Paul's pick).

--We've now officially moved beyond the first quarter of the season (and therefore our game). This means that from here on out losing someone from the top five is no longer such a tragedy.

--On the other hand, our bottom five picks will be an increasing liability from now on. Dawn and I are in the best shape here, with only three of our bottom five still in. Kim has four of her bottom five still in. Paul and Carl failed to predict any of the bottom quartile correctly, meaning that they each have five potential albatrosses hanging around their necks.


Good luck everyone!
