I'm curious.....Why do you think Ian took Tom on the reward when they both agreed not to leave the girls alone?
Did I miss something?
It was completely befuddling. You could see the look in Tom's face, like DUDE DON'T PICK ME!! The only thing I can point to as a possibility is Ian's age.
Having young kids I'm quickly realizing that they don't do an altogether good job of following directions, and every once in a while they don't do what they say they're going to do. So, his age, combined with his ability to become flustered when confronted, lead me to believe that Ian isn't the strongest player at this point. He's very likeable and quite smart. I think he and Katie have control of the game now, barring some huge betrayal.
So, I think Ian will win. As for who I want to win, it's almost a toss-up between Ian and Tom, but I guess Tom cuz my dad was a firefighter (my dad is NOT a sloppy drunk, however).
This is a great Survivor, many compelling dynamics.
