Heather, winning next season...?

After thinking about it, it does actually sound like a pretty interesting idea. She already has half of a redemption plot working for her, and it might be completed in this next season. Besides, looking at The Chefshank Redemption, Heather seems to be the kind of person who can immediately recognize whatever plans the 'antagonist' might be trying. Because, after all, Heather knows every trick in the book because she's tried every trick in the book.

Besides, there's still the manner of finding Heather a boyfriend. That can also give her enough plot to make it farther into the game.

It'd be tough for Heather to win. 1 or 2 members are bound to be gone from Team Amazon before the merge. Cody is basically immune for being the only guy on his team. And Sierra is basically immune for being a new character. So Heather will have to outlast the extremely popular Courtney and/or Gwen to make the merge and at this point she doesn't have a big enough plot to do that.

Get this. The TDM pamphlet changed the TDA final 2 one last time to Owen and Courtney!

According to the Latin American VA for Duncan, Joel Gonzalez (it's on his Facebook, so you can go there and help me determine if this is real or not), he says that Duncan goes out the second episode for refusing to sing. What do you guys think?

Bye Duncan! Harold still has a chance though.

well that's good. someone else needs to be in the limelight

We have at least 4 episodes that we've seen pieces of in the trailer: Japan, NYC, Yukon, and Egypt. Assuming that this trailer is going to be similar to the primary trailers for TDA, then we can assume that these four are also the first four. Also, there could be another episode fit into all of this. It could be the first episode, where everyone gets to the airport and then boards the plane. If this is true, then the Egypt episode must be next since it is the only other possible one that contains Duncan.

Now, I've found another shot that seems to be missing only a few people. The girls are singing together, and then the guys pop up in front of them to sing the next line. Gwen, Owen, Ezekiel, and Duncan are missing from this shot. Harold and Bridgette are still there. Though I believe that Owen is going to be the first in his team to be eliminated, I'm skeptical about Gwen. We'll just have to see.

I'm assuming that Ezekiel is kicked off first, Duncan second. Since the first episode will most likely be a season-introducer-kickoff thing, then it probably won't be an elimination episode. This leaves at least three episodes for Harold or Bridgette to exist without getting voted off. If Harold is kicked off third, causing him to be absent in the next episode (Yukon) then the second episode (Egypt) will be a double-elimination, and Harold will be eliminated in either NYC or Japan. It depends on which episode is third.

If your skeptical about Gwen I'm skeptical about Harold. Everyone already expected him to go early in TDA. This could be yet another trick.

Well, yeah. She's the only protagonist-female-needing-development left who isn't Sierra or Izzy. I don't want to see the new girl win, and no-plot Izzy probably won't make it too far.

Izzy can win too. I'm confident Bridgette is only there to be another girl under Alejandro's control.

Eh...it depends on how much Alejandro can suck her in. After the first few episodes, she was essentially absorbed by showmance. Her entire plot centered around Geoff.

Though, this same Geoff-plot can also be an advantage as she gets sucked in by Alejandro. This would cause a moral dilemma, which gives her more development and a storyline independence from Geoff.
