Unfortunately, Survivor 47 is coming to a close. The season has featured a well-rounded cast of good strategic players, strong social players, and one challenge beast. Going into the final six, there are two unplayed immunity idols and a Steal-a-Vote advantage floating around. The finale should be one for the ages.

Of the final six, four have good cases to present to the jury. Two—Sue Smey and Teeny Chrichillo—have limited paths to victory. The other four would love to sit next to these two at the final tribal council, but one will surely be eliminated at the fire-making challenge to decide which will end up on the jury. The other will finish in third place. The only way to have both in the final three is for one to win the last immunity challenge and take the other with her.

The other four could all make a persuasive argument as to why they should win. Ultimately, much will hinge on who the final three are and how the jury feels about each finalist.

Let's get down to where each persona ranks going into the finale.

Teeny has been an interesting cast member this season. Early on, it seemed as if she might be a good player with a strong social game. The latter proved true, the former not so much. Nothing has gone the way she hoped, and she has found herself at the bottom for the entirety of the game.

She hasn't led any votes or pulled off any moves. She followed along on some votes to save her lace in the game, but she's not been a decision-maker at any time. She is well-liked and probably has friends on the jury, but there are just way too many players left that are more deserving.

If she makes it to the final tribal council, it would be surprising if she garners even one vote. What she could argue to convince the jury to give her the win is not obvious.
