As Fang continues to lose immunity challenges and vote off Kota members, Marcus and company will be forced to consider throwing challenges just to keep the game ballanced. If Fang looses the next 4 immunity challenges, and the tribes merge at 10, there will be 6 original Fang members and only 4 original Kota members. No matter how much Dan and Randy dislike Ken & GC, they would much rather compete against them  for individual immunity than Marcus, Bob or Charlie. Dan and Randy's only hope is to convince Marcus to win challenges. Ken's hope lies in contiuing to loose challenges. Crystal's poor performance in the lacrosse challenge shows she is not only a great athlete and fierce competitor(remember how she dragged Ace in the pole challenge), but she already understands that the most direct path for her to get to the final 2 or 3 is for her tribe to loose the next 4 immunity challenges. The Shakeup basically put Fang in control if they play just a little smart. Kota's other hope is for Ken to over think Sugar's Immunity Idol.
