‘Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites’ preview: The Three Amigos’ new plan

“Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites” has put itself in both a rather great but also challenging position. What’s going on? Basically, they have had a run of three incredible episodes in a row following the merge, and for many this has really revitalized what was in some ways becoming a pretty boring game. Unfortunately, with this comes a pretty substantial challenge: trying to find a way to stay near that level.

At the end of the day, we probably see there being around a 0.1% chance that the show manages to have another tribal council on Wednesday that is quite as exciting as this one, mostly because what we had here was a tribal that was completely and utterly bonkers. There was one major shocker after another with the Three Amigos alliance, but sadly, we have a feeling that the fun for them is going to stop pretty soon. Unless they can really convince Erik and Sherri to join them permanently, what shot do they have? Plus, it doesn’t seem to behoove anyone to become the 4th and 5th people in an alliance of three tight guys almost certain to go to the end of the game together.

What should also be entertaining here is the return of an old favorite in the food auction. Sometimes, even the smallest things (see cookies in “Gabon”) can lead to some ridiculous fights. Regardless, it’s always an opportunity to see the castaways take part in a very different sort of game, and you know that there will probably be a clue that is an “advantage” on one of the upcoming immunity challenges.

What do you think: is there a chance that Malcolm, Eddie, and Reynold all stay on “Survivor Caramoan” for another week? Be sure to share some of your thoughts below, and you can read our interview with the recently-eliminated Phillip Sheppard by paying a visit over to the link here.
