Fishbach's tweet:

Given the over-the-top winnerrCOs edit for Aubry, my prediction is that
she is going to be given editorial credit for taking out Cirie, who is
being shown to be the player of the season.

If Aubry takes out Cirie that will be a huge point on her resume. If she
does it too early though won't that make her a huge target? I hope
something crazy doesn't happen like Aubry finding Ozzy's and Devens's idols.

I haven't listened to this week's Know-it-Alls podcast yet (Fishbach did
it with Gabby this week due to Rob's absence) so it will be interesting
to see if they discuss this. Historically, Rob doesn't usually address
these kind of spoiler/rumors on the podcast, but with Stephen in charge
this week, I can clearly see him going for it.

I don't think it is ever too early to take out a powerhouse like Cirie.
If Aubry leads that effort next episode, then she deserves kudos. And if
she happens to find one or both of Ozzy and Devens' idols (as opposed to
them just being given to her), then I say good for her.

If Aubry ends up winning at this point, I think I'm okay with that. She
is a veteran repeat player with a 2nd and 5th place finish under her
belt, she has always been smart and strategic, and if she can pull out a
win with this group, then I say good for her. I'd probably rather see
Rizo win, but I would certainly prefer Aubry over the likes of Jonathan, Cirie, Devens or Joe.

This isn't a spoiler or rumor. People are discussing that Cirie's
getting a best player edit and Aubry's getting a manipulated winners edit.

If Aubry takes out Cirie that will be a huge point on her resume. If
she does it too early though won't that make her a huge target? I hope
something crazy doesn't happen like Aubry finding Ozzy's and Devens's
idols.

I agree that it's never too early to take out a player like Cirie. My
point is that you don't want to become the new biggest target with too
much time left in the game.

As for Devens's idol, I wonder if it will remain as the MrBeast idol or
morph into a regular idol. If it stays as a MrBeast idol, someone better
find it and use it next TC so it doesn't go to waste.

If Aubry ends up winning at this point, I think I'm okay with that.-a She
is a veteran repeat player with a 2nd and 5th place finish under her
belt, she has always been smart and strategic, and if she can pull out a
win with this group, then I say good for her.-a I'd probably rather see
Rizo win, but I would certainly prefer Aubry over the likes of Jonathan, Cirie, Devens or Joe.

I'll have a problem with Aubry winning. Ozzy's stupidity blew it for
Cirie. Of the people left, I want Rizo to win. Speaking of Rizo, will
Cirie still want to work with him after he voted out Ozzy? Or will she
target him because of his idol? I can see either of them going next but
I keep wondering just how much more luck does Devens have? He's not
getting a winners edit. He's not even getting a F3 edit. Same goes for
Tiff. Wild prediction: Rizo gets screwed over by whatever twist replaces
F4 fire.

Update: I listened to the Know-it-Alls podcast and Stephen and Gabby
never discussed the Aubry edit or anything suggesting Aubry is the clear winner. He did give her his "Fishy" award which goes to the player who
they think had the biggest impact in the episode, but it was more for
her presumably saving herself by disclosing the info Ozzie had given him
than any speculation about her winning the season.

Regarding the betting patterns, people have presumably been betting on
the eventual winner of each Survivor season going all the way back to
Season One. Las Vegas bookies are famous for taking bets on just about anything and setting the odds in a way that they will always make a
profit. I wonder if anyone has ever gone back and compiled records of
who led the betting each season for Survivor winner, how accurate the
betting was, and how that correlates to whether there was a live
vote-out read or not. I'm pretty sure the whole reason they started
reading the final vote live was because Rich's win in season one was accidentally spoiled by Gervase in a live radio interview in which he
referred to the winner as "he" or "him".

she does it too early though won't that make her a huge target? I hope
