“A final four with Earl, Yau, Boo/Cassandra, and Dreamz is really a final 3 with Dreamz giving up immunity to Yau if he has it. Either way, it comes to a vote between Earl and Yau and whoever the third party is.”

And

“Can’t believe they are packing so many challenges, eliminations and councils, plus the final vote and reunion show, into 2 hours.”

Here’s a thought. What if the next elimination is a double elimination? Two people get cut at the same time leaving three. By my estimation that would free Dreamz from his promise to Yau.

Seems to me they have to either have a double elimination or have a final three again. Given the history of Survivor there’s nothing that would prevent a double elimination at this point.

It would be interesting if at Final 4, the others literally throw the challenge, forcing Dre to win immunity to see if he keeps his deal with Yau - judging from his past behavior, I’m thinking - no, he won’t. If he wins immunity and doesn’t give the necklace to Yau, considering that the deal he made is completely known to the jury, should Dre find himself at F2, or F3, he won’t get a single vote. He has betrayed EVERYONE on the jury in one way or another.

As long as Dre doesn’t win, I’m happy. I’d like it to be Earl or Yau.

The final episode is 2 hours (Sunday 8-10PM) which gets us down to a final three and the reunion show follows at 10PM to 11PM which will reveal the winner.

It comes down, for each player, to who they want to be in the final 3 with. Earl/Yau are a solid bloc, so they need to convince one person to come with them to the final 3 vote. I could see Yau and Earl making conspiracy with any or all 3 of the others, promising them a free ride to the final 3.

Dreamz in particular could be swayed. They could promise (and mean it) that if they get to the final 4, even if he has to give up immunity to Yau, they would all vote out the 4th remaining player. He might think he has a good chance at the final vote alongside Yau and Earl (he hasn’t struck me as particularly bright).

Also, I think they want to get rid of Cassandra (for treason) now, along with Boo (for challenges). Although they would be fine taking either to the vote, they need to get rid of one so poor Dreamz has only one option.

If Earl or Yau wins the first immunity, it will be all over. If not, a lot of permutations come into play.

I hope Earl wins, although Yau would be good also. Both played the game brilliantly. Should be fun viewing :-)
