The Aussie final four

The end is near in the land down under, and the field has been narrowed to four survivors. Tonight, one of these four will go, and next Thursday, the ultimate survivor will be chosen in a two-hour episode of "Survivor." After the field is narrowed to two, the tribal council will vote for who it thinks should win it all. Here's a breakdown of who should win and who will win.

• Keith Famie, the chef who no one thought would make it to the final four, narrowly missed getting kicked off last week, but I think today will be it for him. Some contestants have complained he can't budget the rice and he doesn't do as much work as everyone else, not to mention the fact that he's just annoying. If Keith manages to make it to the end, it would be solely because of winning immunity challenges.

• Elisabeth Filarksi, the Colleen of Survivor 2, will be kicked off in the final week. Everyone loves Elisabeth, but she is the last member of the Kucha tribe, and I think Tina and Colby still have a strong voting alliance. Furthermore, if Elisabeth made it to the final two, the jury would definitely pick her, so it would be in Tina and Colby's best interests to get rid of Elisabeth ASAP. Like Keith, Elisabeth will be in desperate need of immunity challenge victories.

• Colby Donaldson, the Texan born to win immunity challenges, will make it to the final two based on his ability to outmaneuver other contestants in immunity challenges. I think Colby will lose one of the next two challenges, but so far he doesn't appear to have made too many people angry, so I think he can survive one tribal council without the immunity necklace.

• Tina Wesson, the nurse from Tennessee, will be the next Survivor. When the show began, I never would have picked Tina because she doesn't have that Richard Hatch-esque "I'm going to play evil mind games with you" quality. But Tina hasn't stirred up trouble or controversy, and she is well liked by everyone. This could be a liability when it comes to voting, but I think her personality will carry her to the final two, leaving the jury to decide between her and Colby. I think all the jury members prefer Tina rather than Colby, and let's not forget jury member Jerri, who has to be dying to get back at Colby for breaking up what she thought was their alliance. Colby's arrogance and rocky history with Jerri and Keith will make Tina $1 million richer and give her the title of Survivor.
