these players are at making people feel comfortable before blind siding them. Take last night, Kenzie and Liz totally snowed Maria into thinking they would vote out Charlie, when they were gunning for Q the whole time. Maria even told Q he might get a vote, but he trusted what he was told too much to see it coming.

The counterpoint would be that the players are just being too greedy and trying to make the idol last longer than they should, but four players in a row going home with idols in their pockets leads me to believe it is more being bamboozled than greed. Also, in past seasons they would say, “No one talked to me today or would make eye contact, so I am playing my idol.” I think this group is doing a better job of everyone talking with everyone so that you never see where it is coming from.

My prediction is Maria is voted out next, unless she wins immunity. If she does it will be Charlie. Ben, Liz, and Kenzie are going to see them as the biggest threats, so one of Charlie/Maria will be making fire and the other voted out if neither wins immunity in the last two challenges. If that happens, Kinzie wins it. But, I am pulling for Charlie.
