Survivor: Samoa episode 7 detailed boot spoilers/ speculation
snuffy   This episode should be taking care of the final pre-merge boot, before the merge at 12, and was necessitated by Russell Swan's fainting and removal in the (unfinished) Ep6 RC.

    Who's most at risk? Well, Shambo was the slam-dunk Galu boot up until Ep6, when an alliance grew up around her, much to her own dismay. That would put Monica on the low end of the vote totals, if Galu returns to tribal council.

   Liz was the decoy boot in Ep5, although it was clear from the hilariously dated clips used to build that storyline (some of which were from as far back as Ep2, when Russell didn't have his swimsuit, and was nearly clean-shaven) that either Russell has been nursing this grudge for a while, or he initially thought of it, but had bigger fish to fry, and has all but forgotten it. Either that, or he's just getting around to planting his "Russell seed" for the Liz boot. Probst seems to think so in his EW blog, anyway. Still, as of late Ep6, Liz and Natalie were both resigned to one of them being booted (and since we think Natalie may be the winner*, we're guessing she isn't booted).
    Then there's Jaison, who seemed perfectly safe in Ep5, after coming close to quitting in Ep4, which got Russell's ire up. After admitting in the Ep5 tribal council that he trained for the U.S. water polo team, he now may be a traditional circa-merge boot target, for being too strong. Still, as of the Ep5 story, he's a less obvious target than Liz. Prior to Ep5, missyae said he's the last person to get booted, pre-merge. But following Ep5, the missyae line is that Liz gets the boot, instead.

   Update: Never mind, Liz appears to be correct.


* Natalie got an apparently inaccurately positive edit in Ep5's Gross Food challenge, since her attempt at downing a smoothie was edited out completely (but present in the press photos, oops), and Ashley hinted that others had trouble with the smoothies in her interviews. Update: Jaison confirms this in the "Foa Foa's Bad Break" video on the CBS site: "Last time it was the food challenge where we had to chug the disgusting stuff, and we all know Natalie and Ashley aren't gonna be able to do that. So, you know, we're out on that."
    Natalie also got a solo headshot as Probst said "turn this game around" at the Ep5 tribal council, and got to allay Mick's fears of a post-merge decimation of Foa Foa in Ep6. Not to mention that Probst keeps mentioning her, for no apparent reason, in his EW blog.
