‘Survivor: Philippines’ prediction: Will Skupin and Lisa save Abi?

“Survivor: Philippines” has turned out to be a rather great season, and with that in mind it really should not come as much of a surprise at all that we are looking at one of the best final fives ever presented to us on the show. After all, we have two alliances of two left in the game, and the remaining contestants all have to think about whether or not they want to go to the end with someone who they know they can beat, or somebody who makes them look more honorable in front of a jury.

When it comes to Lisa Whelchel, she is finally coming to her senses and realizing that she wants to sit at the end with a person that will get as few votes as possible in Abi-Maria Gomes. The sneak peeks below reflect that mentality from her, and they also make it clear that Malcolm Freberg may be considering now making a major move in order to get her out of this game. If she is thinking this way, it’s a dangerous person to have around.

At the end of the day, though, Malcolm is safe this week thanks to his hidden immunity idol, and all he has to do next week is win the final immunity challenge and he is probably a million dollars richer. As we said in our official rankings, the guy is in the drivers’ seat. This is why, despite it making for better TV if she stays, this is probably going to be Abi’s night to go home. If Malcolm or Denise win immunity, they are both guaranteed to stay in the game. Malcolm is likely going to be too afraid of ticking off Skupin and will get rid of Abi, and then the two alliances will fight among themselves. Let’s be honest here: Lisa and Abi are probably not going to win the necklace, which means the only hope at voting out Denise would be if Skupin wins.

Who do you think is going to be sent home from the game Wednesday night? If you want to watch another preview for this week’s episode, you can do so over here.
