IDC if people call me biased but I would let Gabby merge. 

Gabby has a few interesting plotlines that could be developed, such as making peace between Anastasia and Natalia. I get the argument that she could be eliminated in the crossfire but it just doesn't really make sense for the others to target her over a contestant as prominent as Tom. 

I saw someone else make this argument so credits to them. If Gabby is eliminated Tom will just forgive Natalia which was shown in EP6 when Tom forgave Natalia easily for almost causing his elimination. Plus, Tom isn't close to Anastasia while Gabby is connected to both of them relatively well. If Tom gets eliminated, Gabby would probably be angry towards Natalia and that would probably create a new dynamic between them (but they would eventually reconcile). 

Tom and Gabby have both had relatively similar runs in their seasons. Tom went far in S1 and was the second merge boot in S3. Gabby was the first merge boot in S1 and went in early merge in S3. However Tom has been the main character in two seasons of TomJake. There is only so much of a character that fans are willing to put up with, and I feel like his character feels generally complete. 

Tom going to rescue island could also open new interactions with the eliminated fans as hed probably be the Marissa of S5 rescue island, or he could go back to the motel \~\~to be with his best friend Alec.\~\~

Anyways these are just my biased thoughts. What are your thoughts?

Since it's clear one of them is going premerge who would you boot first
