Master episode
8 detailed Boot spoilers/ speculation |
Someone
will be cast out. Set adrift, with only a flickering lamp,
plus a camera crew, spot light, boom mic and rescue boat
for company. Oh, the tragedy.
We note that TVGuide has changed their wording
from a pirate being "cut adrift" to being "eliminated
by the crew,"
exclusively for this episode. Could this indicate the
white crew gets to do more than just abscond with treasure?
Hmmm.
We'd guess if the white crew were to win
the expedition, there might be some additional incentive
(beyond keeping the treasure) attached. Whether that
means picking the week's black spotees (we'd guess the
captain and officers would not be safe), or even going
so far as voting, it's hard to say.
Update: CBS has
said they could both get treasure and hand out black
spots. But since the black crew appear to be the most likely
expedition winners, that seems to be a moot point.

Who
goes this episode? The three most likely to be out are the
three we don't see above: at least Nessa and Kendra, or Azmyth.
As the show currently stands, Azmyth is the most vulnerable
against a white crew of rested ex-pirates, because a lot of
the people on his own (black) crew would like to see him leave.
Among the rest, Kendra and Nessa each have
marks against them: Nessa was close to Joe Don, and would be
a safe target because she has to sell the pardon this episode
(and the triad did finally seem to figure this feature of the
pardon out in the last episode). And Kendra could be a repeat
target, because she's viewed as the weakest player left (although
if Jay has any say, he'll try to keep her around).
If the black crew wins the expedition, as
we speculate, that means Azmyth, Ben and Jay will be safe again
(barring mutiny), and handing out black spots. That would put
Nessa into the most-vulnerable spot, since
she can't buy the pardon. She's not terribly disliked, but
if it's her versus Louie or Christa (or some other reasonably
popular combo), mutiny would be her only hope.
We say that despite an alleged boot list
that surfaced this week (here,
and here,
and at multiple times in our inbox),
which also claims Nessa goes this week. We'll lend that
list a bit more credence if it's still accurate after Ep11,
but since there aren't 15 episodes, we'll need to see a bit
more of a track record before we beleve.
Also: what are the odds of a mutiny? We'd
think they're pretty low. If Azmyth successfully leads all
the remaining contestants to save their own treasure from the
ghosts, he'll get a lot more slack from the previously disgruntled
crew, since they'll all be on the winning side this episode.
And even though Jay claims to be all for the concept, we haven't
seen any similar quotes from Ben, who's sitting pretty comfortably
as the good cop to Azmyth's bad cop. Azmyth does appear to
leave within the next three episodes, and the next ep's title
is "24 Hour Party Pirates," but we don't see a mutiny happening
just yet.
