Survivor: All-Stars - Favorite Games

The eighth installment of Survivor (in the U.S.) features an all-star lineup of past Survivor contestants.

For the past five episodes of Survivor, I've tried to predict the winner based solely on the contestants' favorite board games. Obviously, this time I also have some knowledge about the players, given their past performances -- so that should make predicting the winner easier, right?

Here are the favorite board games of players on Survivor All-Star Edition.

Chapera (Red)

• Alicia (Australian Outback, voted out 8th): Scrabble
• Amber (Australian Outback, voted out 11th): Backgammon, Twister, Mancala, Charades, card games, Blackjack, Euchre, Clue
• Rob C. (Amazon, came in 3rd place): Chess, Monopoly
• Rob M. (Marquesas, voted out 7th): Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly
• Susan (Pulau Tiga, came in 4th place): Cribbage
• Tom (Africa, came in 4th place): Checkers

Saboga (Yellow)

• Ethan (Africa, winner): Boggle, Pictionary
• Jenna L. (Pulau Tiga, voted out 9th): TriBond, Cranium, Cribbage
• Jerri (Australian Outback, voted out 9th): Pictionary, Scattergories
• Rudy (Pulau Tiga, came in 3rd place): Monopoly
• Rupert (Pearl Islands, voted out 9th): Monopoly
• Tina (Australian Outback, winner): Backgammon

Mogo Mogo (Green)

• Colby (Australian Outback, came in 2nd place): Scrabble
• Jenna M. (Amazon, winner): True Colors, Monopoly
• Lex (Africa, came in 3rd place): Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, Zilch, Chicken Foot
• Kathy (Marquesas, came in 3rd place): Taboo
• Richard (Pulau Tiga, winner): Balderdash
• Shii Ann (Thailand, voted out 7th): Scrabble, Clue, Pictionary, Cranium

As you can see, the four winners who are participating like Boggle, Pictionary, Backgammon, True Colors, Monopoly, and Balderdash. But I can't choose any of them because I think the other players will vote them out fairly early on.

None of my previous predictions are in the all-star edition, so I can't choose them, either.

Amber lists a wide variety of games, from Twister to Mancala. That's interesting, but not persuasive. However, one of her tribe mates -- Rob C. -- does persuade me with his choices of Chess and Monopoly. He's my pick to win Survivor All-Star Edition.

UPDATE: I should have chosen Amber. She won, while Rob C. was voted out fourth.
