‘Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites’ preview: Are the Favorites still crumbling?

You would think that getting rid of the poison that was Brandon Hantz would cause some sort of unity for the Favorites tribe on “Survivor Caramoan,” but for whatever reason it has caused an even greater amount of division. The alliance formally knows as Stealth R Us is crumbling, and we are quickly learning out that Former Federal Agent / Specialist Phillip Sheppard is learning a brand-new “BR Rule” that he was not previously aware of: nobody can really follow the BR Rules perfectly except for Boston Rob. It’s almost like Fight Club: once you start talking about them, they’re dead.

So Phillip all of a sudden wants Corinne out, which makes no sense whatsoever since she is one of the most-loyal players out there. (Go back and watch “Survivor: Gabon” if you don’t believe it.) Meanwhile, Corinne also wants Phillip out, which makes no sense given that we still don’t know whether or not a jury would every vote for him. The truth of the matter is that them cannibalizing on each other is only going to give the Fans more of a chance, since we’re sure that both Erik and Brenda are probably going to flip at the first opportunity after the merge, given that they know they are at the bottom of the totem pole.

Of course, we also have a feeling that they are not going to have to wait that long. As Jeff Probst seemingly announces in the video below, there could be a major twist ahead. (Tribal swap, anyone?) Sadly, we don’t think there are going to be any massages coming anyone’s way now to go along with that.

Do you think that Phillip and Corinne are making a mistake, or is it best to target each other if they are both well aware of the fact that they each want each other out? If you want to go back and read our full “Survivor” review all about the Brandon Hantz craziness, you can do so over at the link here.
