Final Three Predictions: All four prognosticators are left with only one entrant in a possible final three. None of us correctly picked the Winner of Survivor: Gabon.

Loner -- Marcus - Dan - Matty
Uncle Chuck -- Jacque - Marcus - Matty
Finnisusu -- Marcus - Charlie - Jacque
RichardCA -- Kelly - Charlie - Ace

Eighteen people began this game, all hoping to win--or at least stick around long enough to make the jury.
Now that the jury is taking shape, we can evaluate how many of our placement guesses made it to the jury (or better).

This is a review of the predictions for the final ten survivors, also known as "the jury and the finalists" :

Loner -- Marcus - Dan - Matty - Gillian - Kelly - Michelle - Ace - Paloma - Danny (GC) - Robert ...3 picks made the jury or better
Uncle Chuck -- Jacque - Marcus - Matty - Ace - Paloma - Randy - Charlie - Gillian - Corinne - Dan ...5 picks
Finnisusu -- Marcus - Charlie - Jacque - Paloma - Sugar - Matty - Ken - Ace - Gillian - Corinne ...6 picks
RichardCA -- Kelly - Charlie - Ace - Jacque - Sugar - Marcus - Danny (GC) - Crystal - Dan - Corinne ...5 picks

Kenny masterminded his way out of a million bucks and into a warm bed at the Ponderosa.
