So it must be Lee? But no mention of the advantage? I wonder what he's thinking.
I wonder how Kyrstie pulled this off. She did get a friendship bracelet and Lee was being honest with her last episode. But who will she side with?

Possibly Matt could be in on the flip too? Didn't he say he'd never vote for Krystie, after she gave up that reward for him?

Are you saying Lee is breaking the alliance or Lee is going?
Both I guess. He tries to break the alliance and loses. That 4 is going to be hard to break with the girls leading those two boys around to do whatever they want. That might be the toughest alliance ever because they don't all want to win or know how to win.
Like everyone else this season since the merge, he waited one tribal council too long.
He could be running this game (at least temporarily) if he made a move last week. He's just not just out for it though.
He should have made a secret alliance with JL and Krystie, canceled a vote and taken out Flick.
Now the best he can do is a tie and Kyrstie won't stick with that. Or at least she shouldn't.

To me I read the preview as Lee orchestrating a blindside against one of the 4. I don't see him going from that clip. I wouldn't be surprised if that ends up being wrong though. So far he has had no balls in this game.
He might try to organize a blindside, but he can't break them up. They all see him as a huge threat to win so they have no reason to go with him. He needed to gather up the people on the bottom but he left it too late.
So I think he tries a blindside but it fails and he leaves.
I just don't see the boys going with him over the girls. Could that be possible?
By the way, this is just based on my read of the players personalities. The boys could be loyal to Lee but I think they stick to the final 4. Theyve been with those girls from day 1.

Lee and Sam are pretty tight, could he bring Sam over? Sam wouldn't vote for Brooke, but he might for Flick. Lee, El, Sam and Krystie? Or if Sam is not on board, Matt because he said he'd never write Krystie's name?
Whatever happens, it has to be anyone but Krystie. If she goes next, the promos have blatantly lied.

Good point. They do see him as a threat. If he cancels out one of the 4's votes he could make it 3-3 assuming he gets Kristie to vote with him and El. If he had tried that last tribal and got JL on board it could have worked.
Exactly! And a tie doesn't help him unless Krystie (and El) is willing to go to a rock draw tie breaker. That is so intense I think it would have been hinted at by the blatant promotion people.
Though earlier in the season we had ties and the show was like no big deal.

I can't see Matt voting against the girls. Sam, I am not sure if he would side with Lee. I agree that all we can be sure on is that Kristie is safe tonight (Assuming channel 10 are not blatantly lying)

Blindside of the season has to be Craig, doesn't it?
I'm gonna say Flick goes tonight. Lee teams up with Sam (think: "bros before hos" mentality) plus Kristie and even Matt (who said he wouldn't vote for Kristie). Sam and Lee won't vote for El or Brooke so it has to be Flick.
The beauty here is that Lee doesn't even need to use his advantage, which he can use at the next TC to actually wrangle control.
Seems far fetched, I know.

I'm thinking the same. Do you see El siding with Lee, or just turning a blind eye? Presumably he never makes a move against her, but would she be on board (or turn a blind eye to) voting out Flick? The problem with El (well, one of the problems) is we never hear from her, so we only have visuals to determine how close she and Flick are.
If Sam and Matt turn on the girls, then the editing has been horrendous this season. Even if Lee pulls off a successful blindside, the editing has been terrible.
I guess I don't understand how to read Australian shows. Looks like they just focus on whatever story is in front of them?
This could explain why they had the girls looking so smug with power and unlikeable?
But having Lee come from nowhere and all of a sudden he and Kyrstie are strategists?
Wow. I'll give up predicting what happens if those boys flip on a very solid final 4 alliance to go with Lee, a well liked guy they can't beat. But they are strategic idiots so it's possible.
I wonder if Lee has immunity? Maybe that would give him extra confidence? Or maybe someone he wants to flip wins it?
If this happens, the story has not at all prepared the audience for this.

The thing is we have never seen Lee show El his advantage (um, he may have shown her his other "advantage"
but you know know which one I mean 
) so it's possible Lee is actually playing the game and has actually taken on board the pecking order outlined in so many TCs now. So yes, if I'm right, Lee will blindside Flick-Brooke-El by taking out Flick, in order to reduce the gender imbalance the evil threesome hold.All just a theory, probably far too cunning for Lee to actually work out, to be honest.
El is with Lee. She told him he could win but not with the girls.
I'm objecting to the combination of "gender imbalance" with "evil threesome." The girls aren't evil. The boys that have left were targeted by Sam (Nick) Phoebe (Craig) Kat (Rohan) Craig (Andrew) and whoever wanted Evan.The thing is we have never seen Lee show El his advantage (um, he may have shown her his other "advantage"
All just a theory, probably far too cunning for Lee to actually work out, to be honest.
They really only targeted Conner as a merge boot and I don't remember why.
Also they showed Lee being on a journey and not caring about the money or winning. Is that something Australians approve of? Here, that attitude is really looked down upon. If you aren't playing to win, then no one respects you, outside of an extenuating circumstances like sacrificing your game for a family member.
