Here at the Purple Rock Podcast, we take pride in three things: 1) Our deep and comprehensive knowledge of Survivor, 2) our radio quality good looks, and 3) our startlingly accurate predictions that are never, ever, ever wrong. Never*.

Since we know everyone wants to know what is going to happen on Survivor Cambodia, but don’t want to be so gauche as to actually be spoiled, we will be providing for you our weekly guaranteed predictions**. And with our 1st episode picks we are providing a bonus prediction… our winner pick!

So without further ado, the Purple Rock Podcast Week 1 predictions. Think you can do better? Vote in the poll below.

	Andy	John	Emma	Mark	Matt	Readers
Bayon First Boot	Tasha	Joe	Kimmi	Tasha	Kimmi	Kass
Ta Keo First Boot	Abi-Maria	Kelly	Abi-Maria	Spencer	Spencer	Vytas
Winner Pick	Monica	Varner	Kelley	Monica	Varner	Kelley

As you can see we think the first boots fall into three categories: 1) women who are perceived to be weak at challenges and abrasive (Abi-Maria, Kimmi), 2) Cagayan threats (Spencer, Tasha), and 3) John’s picks. To listen to Andy and John’s justifications for their picks, listen to their preseason podcast.

Meanwhile our winner picks are operating on the same theory: Monica, Kelley and Varner all enter the game without a huge target on their backs and could navigate their way to a strong position while bigger targets are taken out in the early game. But the great thing about All-Star seasons is that anything can happen and anyone can win***.

Note: If you’ve been spoiled, you can go ahead and fuck off and not vote. There is literally no benefit, as there is no reward for being right and no one knows how you voted. So don’t vote. Seriously. No one is impressed.

 

*All evidence to the contrary is a conspiracy of the saucer people.

** Not actually guaranteed.

**** And Woo.
