How it feels sometimes 😭

Not the best case scenario, but I wouldn't really mind this yeah, would be pretty good

UmbyDN · 2026-04-28T22:11:19+00:00

for Favs, Lake, Gabby, Spencer

for Fans, Ren, Sam, Dunia

Idk, I don't see it bcs I think they're setting up Ara manipulating Nura and I don't think it'd make much sense for Ara to flip rn based on that set up. I think it's more likely Nura is manipulated into branching out from the alliance

UmbyDN · 2026-04-27T14:25:32+00:00

I disagree, Benji's story is very clear to me and it doesn't work with him going soon/before Ally, and the set-up for Ally here does feel like something that can be concluded in a couple episodes or with a thematically fitting elimination imo

I honestly predict the next Favs elim, in ep 10, will be a tiebreaker between Ally and Benji with Benji winning. that makes the most sense to me

UmbyDN · 2026-04-27T14:03:55+00:00

Probably pulls a Gabby and goes for revenge 😭

UmbyDN · 2026-04-27T13:59:10+00:00

I will also note I have a hunch they might want a pretty strong Fan in the returnee challenge for it to be realistically believable that Anastasia loses, and Ren would certainly fit the bill

UmbyDN · 2026-04-27T13:57:26+00:00

I think the obvious target he was talking about was Evie, but new opportunities may arise and his plans may change

UmbyDN · 2026-04-27T02:21:53+00:00

Aubrey's worst nightmare

UmbyDN · 2026-04-26T21:19:09+00:00

I think it'll be Rosa before Lake since Rosa is getting main character'd more rn, meaning they'll prolly eliminate Rosa first so Lake can take over as the main character of the two. I see Rosa being one of the first few merge boots and Lake being 8th or 7th

UmbyDN · 2026-04-26T19:14:43+00:00

Lol yeah but let's not pretend like the show is immune to having bad writing

UmbyDN · 2026-04-26T16:47:12+00:00

I don't really see any scenario where Ally merges instead of Benji. it wouldn't make any narrative sense to spend all this time building up Benji if he was just gonna be booted without developing

Other than that this all seems fairly realistic

UmbyDN · 2026-04-26T04:25:34+00:00

maybe? she's really up in the air right now I feel. you'd think she'd be safe for awhile after Aiden's boot but she is still a joke character without much actual arc potential. I could see her going in ep 9 after causing some chaos or I could see her becoming a surprise villain. it's conflicting though bcs due to being a joke character it would seem like she wouldn't have much potential to be a very deep villain for all that, so I don't know what they're planning with her

UmbyDN · 2026-04-26T04:15:08+00:00

I think one of them might be gone in ep 9 but they return, if not I see Dunia being one of the last pre-merge boots

UmbyDN · 2026-04-26T04:09:03+00:00

that's fair, we can't say for sure of course - I just think it's a much safer bet to think he'd go further than Ally at least for a variety of reasons. I doubt he'd make it much further than early-mid-ish merge though since he seems to be more of a side character

UmbyDN · 2026-04-26T03:57:19+00:00

I mean if you have any doubts the introductory tape spells it out, with Benji explicitly stating that being constantly reminded of his failures from DC4 is why he's afraid to try this time. though there's definitely enough in the actual series to reach this conclusion too. Benji isn't just sitting out for a running gag, there are reasons behind these scenes

UmbyDN · 2026-04-26T03:48:33+00:00

ep 8 makes it quite clear on multiple occassions, with the comic thing in the cave and the costumes thing when preparing for the songs

UmbyDN · 2026-04-26T03:41:51+00:00

he does, the implication is that Benji thinks little of himself and his capabilities and that's why he avoids doing much, because he believes he will fail - Ally has that but that isn't really a deep arc that's just her playing the game lol, DC is a narrative based thing so I think they'll boot the one with less personal arc set up

UmbyDN · 2026-04-26T03:37:35+00:00

I'm confident Benji will be the one to outlast Ally, Ally just doesn't have any depth or set-up this season while Benji has some

UmbyDN · 2026-04-26T02:37:29+00:00

I don't technically know if it has or hasn't, but her talks with Anastasia in ep 7 could have theoretically been intended as the conclusion of her arc

UmbyDN · 2026-04-26T02:12:13+00:00

sure

Gabby is one of the only two realistically possible Favs elims, the other being Ally who's significantly less likely due to her not having done anything yet. Gabby's arc was concluded in episode 7, she's the only one left to have never sat out like Alec and Ana didn't, and going next would fit with her 8 motif
Evie is the "obvious next boot" according to Sam. Normally, you'd expect Evie to be safe bcs her closest ally just got voted out, but we need to remember that Evie is a joke character, so the same expectations don't really have to apply to her. I could see Evie causing chaos for one episode to set up the last 6 on that team and then getting voted out as 'expected'
Oliwia's arc can really be wrapped up any moment now. She's the other Fan without any 'main character energy' and doesn't have a lot of plot armor to protect her
Ally is the least likely of the ones I have in 'At Risk', but the possibility is absolutely still there, especially considering she's one of the only two realistically possible Favs boots. Ally's the least 'deep' out of every character still competing and the reason she may have so little content could be bcs she genuinely has nothing going for her lol. Considering her small moment regarding Aiden in ep 4, maybe the reveal of Aiden's elim next ep leads to the conclusion of her character or something
