Following Episodes 10, 11, and 12: As stated previously, Abi-Maria seems destined to reach the finals for no other reason than the perception that she is a lock to receive no votes for the title of Sole Survivor. At the most recent tribal council, Joe made a perfectly valid argument about how simply allowing Abi-Maria to take one of the final seats drastically reduces everyone else's odds for reaching the finals. Her only chance of receiving consideration for the title is if she can somehow articulate how this was her strategy from the beginning of the game, to position herself as someone who would be overlooked, since being likeable is not necessarily advantageous (i.e. jurors Joe, Kelly Wiglesworth, Andrew Savage, and potentially jurors Jeremy and Spencer). If Abi-Maria reaches the finals without Kelley Wentworth, she likely would receive winning votes from Kelley, Ciera, and Kass, which means she would only need to convince one or two more jurors. Unfortunately, she does not seem to possess an ability to persuade.
