Comments: Picking Carly over Nate for the medical angle. She's younger and we don't have to worry about withdrawal symptoms. Rory is an obvious choice, to drive the boat. Russ gets saved only because I can't split up married couples, especially those with kids at home. Dom get saved because he's a youngish father, plus having an assumed cook on board couldn't hurt. Saving the young married couple, because I'm not splitting up couples, and Mary could help with Brett. I'm not a monster, so I'm not leaving the crippled boy behind, and Martha gets the last spot to help Mary with Brett's care.

Marcus serves no purpose on the ship, so he's gone. There is no tin foil available, so Saul would be out of place. I don't think we need to buy any washing machines on our remainder of the cruise, sorry Mike. Thanks for your service Richard, but you've had a good ride. Matthew can take his food and get lost, because if we are half-way between Britain and Australia, we are along the southern coast of Africa (or in the Middle East), and we aren't that far away from land, especially if we crashed on a rock (there are relatively few islands where rocks would be an issue along this course). We could survive for a couple of days without food.
