Since Will left Sharks, they've picked up Terri, Elisa, Sophia and Ella, and lost Lorenzo.
This has massively shifted the dynamic of the island, and as Ben L said, it's no longer the island he'd considered switching to.

I think it may be a big adaption for Will returning as it will be so different from the place he left. The Sharks he left would have accepted Ben L, whereas these Sharks have not, which Will clearly thinks is an error. When he gets back, will Will feel resentful about what has happened in his absense?

he is in for a big shock. the girls have the power on sharks now, even soph terry and amy who r ment to be on holidays as tigers had more say over the shark originals.

HURRY UP WILL! YOUR TRIBE NEEDS YOU!

That is only because none of them wanted their "holiday" ruined by the very man they all went on "holiday" to escape in the first place!

I said the same thing in another thread - the change in dynamic is huge and I think it will take him a while to adjust. Id love for him to go back to the Tigers because of this shift but I cant see it happening. I think once he goes back the dynamic will shift again and they will all find a happy medium.

I think that's a very real possibility. He was a massive character on shark Island before, but where will he fit in now?? He has a clear dislike for Sophia, who seems quite a popular shark now, and was over-ruled by his clan over Ben L's nomination.

However, he still has a very close bond with Stevie, and Amie by default. He also bonded with new arrival Elisa so I think in the end there will still be a place for him, after a period of adjustment. I wonder though whether that place will be as influential as it once was, and therefore whether he would consider staying on tigers??

will is very similar to stevie.
stevie has not been affected by any of these changes and i think that will is going to be ok with it.

But Stevie has been there for the transition and that makes a difference.

I think the rejection of Ben has already given Will a strong signal that the dynamic has changed and he will be going back to a different Shark Island. It will take a while longer to settle back in but he will adjust.

I think he will probably find it difficult to adjust to the changes at first...but overall im sure he will just be happy to be home. Its not as if he hasn't spent time with the new arrivals..infact he seemed to have got on quite well with Elisa and Ella. Hopefully he will just slot right back into island life with the sharkies!

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Will will be going back to the Sharks this week and will simply slot back in without any dramas.

Yes he was disappointed that the Sharks did not want Ben L, but whilst he was whispering into his ear about how great Shark island is, the holidaying Tigers were telling the Sharks how annoying he really is to live with so it wasn't a surprise when they said they would reject him. Both Amy and Sophia moved island because of him so tactically, keeping Ben L a Tiger means that they have more chance of these Tigers staying Sharks and also of winning new arrivals who may be put off by Ben L's ways.

Will will just have to live with this. The real question of the week though, and crucial to whether the Tigers have any sort of chance of competing in this series, is what will Terri do? If she goes back to the Tigers then Sophia will probably move back too (Amy is a Shark and will not change unless she splits up with Stevie). If not then you might as well say that the Sharks have won Shipwrecked!

I agree with much of what has been said. Will has been trying to sell to Ben L an island where boisterous messing about is the order of the day, but the events of the weekend have revealed to both of them that this is no longer the nature of Sharks. This may cause Will to think twice about going back, but I'm pretty sure he will return to Sharks.

In the light of all this, Will's return could destabalise the dynamic, but he's popular and laid back so I don't think any of them will have too much difficulty in adapting.

As for the 'holidayers', what happens with Sophia is critical. Her loyalties are still unclear and if she has a few more disputes like the one with Paul, she may feel like returning home. Terri and Amy look quite happy and settled at the moment, with no apparent thoughts of moving any time soon. As long as half their Tiger tribe are over on Sharks, the pull of tribal loyalty (which they would have imagined would have pulled them back to Tigers) remains neutral, but that could change if Sophia goes back.

I was thinking the same thing! The tigers need something to seriously work in their favour, what could this be?
Maybe Will decides not to go back to sharks? Maybe he tells the sharks that if they don't accept Ben L then they can say goodbye to him aswell?

This would put Stevie in a tough position, and therefore Amy aswell!


My brain hurts!
