Is it too obvious to assume Shaw will be the lone surviver of Prometheus?

Everyone keeps wanting to compare Shaw to Ripley and I was just wondering if anyone else thinks that it may to obvious of a guess to assume she will be the lone survivor or last one living till the end of the film? I think Ridley Scott has a few tricks up his sleeve and I think we will be surprised when it comes out. I've seen a few interviews and I wonder if as a long shot Vickers may not be so bad after all. I know she is suppose to be the company woman enforcing her rules and trying to control the situation. Some people think she causes stuff to go haywire as the film progresses. I saw an interview where Theron described the character as "a suit who slowly sheds [her] skin through the film. Does that mean she sides more with the crew and helps them to survive? Any which way I am super stoked for the movie to come out June 8th! I'm sure I will watch it more than once in theaters lol

I put my money on Vickers over Shaw for various reasons.. On a side note I saw an interview where Ridley Scott originally wanted to cast Theron in the Shaw role but bc of her contract with another movie was unable to. Only when that movie fell through she was able to come back to Prometheus and was cast as Vickers.

Honestly, I can see everyone dieing in is this experience.....I see it as a situation that feels ominously inevitable...could be wrong though....

I hope the movie will surprise us with something unexpected and won't be too obvious by having Shaw be the lone survivor at the end.

i think vickers survives. her character seems to be smart and calculating. shell sacrifice others to survive see Burke from Aliens but will be composed enough to survive. i could also see Janek surviving. i know we all assume he dies when crashing into thederelict. i think it would be a good surprise if he makes it

@Kane..I'm almost with you, I don't think any humans survive, but I feel that David does. I think Vickers comes to the realization that she is just as expendable as the rest of the crew.
