Ahead of Sierra Dawn Thomas joining them, the first four members of the Survivor Game Changers offer up their thoughts on the game.

Whenever players give us a glimpse of their Survivor Ponderosa experience, it’s usually about relaxing, interacting with players they may have voted out prior, and reflecting on themselves as changed people. Rarely do we get to see people discuss with others what the vote should be, who likes who, who thinks can go far or who is deserving of being the winner of a season like Survivor Game Changers.

For the most part, it’s understandable; Survivor producers want to keep the viewers in suspense. Yet, CBS All Access has released exclusive clips of Hali Ford, Ozzy Lusth, Debbie Wanner and Zeke Smith offering up their early thoughts on the favorites to win Survivor Game Changers, and some of the names may surprise you.

Hali Ford may be offering a bit of outside perspective about the show’s edit so far by accident, stating she doesn’t think Aubry Bracco is a goat at all. She even goes as far to say that she may get her vote in the end, stating she fits her ideal winner being well-rounded as a challenge threat, survival expert, and a social, strategic player. Looking for an underdog, she may vote with who made the best of their situation.

Ozzy Lusth offered up Andrea Boehlke as his main vote candidate for the Survivor Game Changers winner, but also added Cirie Fields as a possibility, as well. It’s great to see him not be bitter about Cirie’s involvement in his Micronesia exit, as he’s been around the Survivor block enough to respect a great game. He does expect either of them to pick the other off, as neither will want to sit with the other at the final tribal council.

With the cowgirl, Sierra, voted out, Debbie Wanner thinks another strong woman will win this season. She offers up Andrea as her pick to win, noting her ability to outwit others, outplay her and outlast the rest of the competition. However, as always, the rest of the game has to unfold first.

Finally, with Zeke Smith being the biggest fan of Survivor, he respects gameplay moves and doesn’t take things too personally when they happen to him. That’s why he thinks Sarah Lacina can win Survivor Game Changers, noting how she’s dictating the pace of the game and making the necessary adjustments. He does also remark that if she loses, it’s because of exactly how she played the jury on the way to final tribal council.

As he remarks, a lot can happen in the final five votes, and there’s still a fair amount of Survivor Game Changers gameplay left to enjoy. Brad Culpepper can find a spot, or Michaela Bradshaw and Aubry can crawl their way from the bottom to plead a convincing case to win.
