After a difficult 50 days of last minute blindsides, numerous tribe swaps, and intense vote scrambles, all of which saw the tides constantly changing, we are down to just four...
Liz - Beginning the game as the Captain of the Anaira tribe, Liz was seen as a calculating player capable of winning it all. Without warning, Liz took a drastic turn at the merge, transitioning quickly into an emotional player who struggled with the idea of cutting her friends. With a bitter Jury mounting against her, and a new vow to betray her top ally in Neal, will Liz be able to earn enough respect from the Jury before it's too late?
Woo - Another Captain, this time of the powerful Mushu tribe, Woo mastered the difficult feat of shaking off the threat status that comes with the Captain title. After playing a smart under the radar game behind his social meat shield in Hope, her blindside left him alone and defeated. Forced together with Neal and Liz from that point on, will he be able to continue to pick up the pieces and ride his new group to the finish?
Rachel - Picked dead last in the entire cast way back at the start by Woo, Rachel spent the first half of the game comfortably in the background. Upon recognizing her status as a goat, and with the blindside of her close ally Hunter, Rachel took a drastic turn - vowing to lie to and defeat the rest of the cast whom she passionately hated. She's made good on her promise, as she's ruthlessly led on almost every boot before blindsiding them since that point. No longer in a powerful swing vote position, will she be able to fight her way through one more round to reach the end?
And Neal - At first an outsider and a goofball, Neal managed to sneak his way into powerful alliances and climb up the social ladder. But after losing ally upon ally, Neal struggled with his emotional and paranoid side that led him to make a drastic move - Idoling out Jaison. Labeled as a snake and a villain by almost the entire merge, Neal since placed himself into a swing vote position and dominated in challenges. But with his negative labels difficult to shake, can Neal make the end and convince the Jury to forgive him and award him the title of Sole Survivor?
It all comes to a dramatic conclusion as these four battle it out against the Jury and one another for the title of Sole Survivor.
The first two dragon trios to lose a member both survived to the final four.

They were also the only two to get the same partner twice after the second swap.
Two from original Anaira and two from original Mushu
Two from swapped Anaira , two from swapped Mushu
Two from Bìángsī , one from Shórt , and one from Shęngli
(No one from Lóng )
Neal getting a sudden and surprising amount of Jury love. Rachel getting a lot of hate for her past couple of rounds. Liz getting the usual hate
Jerry said he'd vote Rachel just to spite Liz and Neal and Nick/Hunter had some jabs about Neal's social game and said he was difficult to talk to. Hope showed up and told those three that everyone said the same thing about them, one of my favorite Jury moments so far tbh since most of us PW's kinda collective grouped those three together as each others' counterparts in the first half of the game
SIDE NOTE I feel like the existence of this AIM Jury chat that they created is gonna help snowball thing into a very bitter Jury here. They feed off of each other a whole lot more than I've seen in any of our past seasons in the Jury forum, where posts are much more thought out and independent
I think Rachel or Neal will be 4th and the other will win. I do think Woo could win but less exciting? He hasn't really come to the forefront after Hope's boot like Rachel did after Hunter's boot.
I'm probably gonna steal that sexy Neal gif for Rustic AS, just fyi :p. I think if Neal goes, Woo wins, but I don't want Neal to go, so Neal stay and win plz :)
I'm thinking Woo is the one to beat. Although I am not sure it is because the Jury loves the crap out of him, just that they'd find him least objectionable.
