Australian Survivor Episodes 14 & 15
I kind of liked the mutiny twist, but it would have been better had it been "Anybody who wants to mutiny, stand up." Then Samatau would vote on the one person they wanted to steal. Would have still been Pete, but it would have been better TV. While this was better than last year's atrocity of "Brooke, please kidnap one member of Vavau." it was still kind of a buzzkill after all that buildup.

That said, unlike last time, this pushed an interesting storyline into Monday's episode, with the reconciliation between Sarah and Luke. As those two are among my favorites, I was very happy. Odette's edit screamed the position she ultimately ended up in, even before her overplaying the swing vote position; she was clearly the final pre-juror / pre-merge boot due to her lack of content and portrayal in what she had. The merge boot is likely the final pre-juror and I cannot discern who that is as of this time. I hope it's Tara. Moron doesn't know what a blindside is, but at least she's humble enough to admit she's not too bright. Her doing that was the first moment where she endeared herself, but I still don't like how petty she is.

If I have to guess, I would think the alliances become:
Locklan, Anneliese, Henry, Michelle, Sarah, Tara
vs.
Luke, Jericho, Ziggy, Jarrad, Tessa, Pete

Luke, Jericho, and Pete might flip to avoid a tie. I don't see anyone in the former alliance moving at F12. Tara and Anneliese won't work with the foursome that voted them out, nor would Locky by association. Henry and Michelle know they're on the bottom, so they'll make a truce but will try to blindside each other at final 9 or 10. Sarah wants to work with her friends, who are all in that alliance. They will try to flip somebody. Still think Tessa is first juror, but I could be a round off. I wouldn't target her first, because she'd be the presumed "least likely to use Ziggy's idol" person. Ziggy's loose lips have divulged the position of that idol so Henry and Locky can navigate around it. Those two have the knowledge of every idol in the game and ought to presume there aren't more than three (and they should NOT hide a fourth).

Favorites are still Luke, Sarah, Anneliese, Tessa, and Jericho. Henry is a cockier Malcolm, but because of that Malcolm comparison I am starting to like him quite a bit more. Still, his ego is less disguised than Malcolm's (Malcolm is great at laughing it off), which is his weakness. This is why he lost Jacqui. I still see him as a winner contender. It's most likely Henry, Sarah, Jericho, or Anneliese. The least likely are Pete, Tessa, Tara, and Jarrad, all due to their limited presence in the edit (except Tara, who is the least likable). Still could be a surprising emergence like last year. I'm excited to watch.
