Why Ryan S. Thinks He's a Survivor: Ryan considers himself to be very creative and to have a resourceful mind for problem solving.

Kidzworld's Opinion: Big Lil is in big trouble, if you look at the history of older women on Survivor. However, Lillian's been a hardcore outdoor-type for a long time so maybe she's got a shot.

Kidzworld's Opinion: There's no cran-raspberry juice or buddies to "booze" with on the Pearl Islands so Osten may lose that mental stability he claims he has. We think Osten will get booted off early.
