Who do you think will be the new Master (host body)?

Since Palmer has been tasked by Setrakian to find out who The Master's new host host is, I think it will wind up being Eldrich Palmer himself. I sensed tension in Eichhorst's voice the last time he met with Palmer. I'm thinking it's because he is sore about the master choosing him. Also, he wanted to be the Master's partner, so what better way to come thru on the deal then actually taking his body. The Master seeks power so why not choose someone as powerful as he is with the humans? Any other predictions??

i was thinking the master has taken Zach's body

The Master is grooming Zach to be his next host, but Zach is currently too young and weak. The Master needs someone powerful and physically imposing. He might take the new businessman who's replaced Palmer.

He must've taken a temporary new body for the time being, because now he i in control of all the stigoi again, and even spoke through one to Eff.

I would think Palmer is too old. The Master would want someone better. In the books its hinted Zach was to EVENTUALLY be the new host but right now he is too young, just a kid. Maybe he will take over a female? Zach's mom maybe?

He's going to try so hard to get Zack back he's going to end up stung.

I thought in ep 6 of this season when they were in the tunnels that Gus might become the new host. But apparently not.

Actually here's a thought last weeksepisode they mentioned some package from Egypt being expected. While also in the lumen it was found out an ancient was imprisoned there. Could the Master put himself in the Ancient that was imprisoned? Could that be possible?

That Egyptian shipment was clearly in the works before Quinlan beheaded The Master's last body--and obviously he's already found a new one. He might not be happy with it, but he found it.

I wonder if they will address why he chose the new host, unless if it was just out of necessity to have a new body. I remember Quinlan telling him last season his new host wasn't very intimidating. The master answered it wasn't chosen for those qualities but due to bolivars loyalty.
