The Final Five--The Unexpected Cylon

In a recent article in the Chicago Tribune, Ron Mooer and David Eicke claim to have some incredible things planned for Starbuck during the second half of the season. All over the net people are claiming she has to be one of the final five, but personally I think that would be far too obvious.
The identifiable Cylon is going to be the last person we expect, though I'm still leaning rather heavily on it being Laura Roslin. Her underhanded dealings with Sharon and Helo's daughter always get under my skin. I know she was against the baby all along, but her behavior reamins questionable. Does that make her a Cylon? Probably not.
I also have suspicions about Gaeta and whether or not he is a Cylon, especially after Sunday night's episode and the secret exchanged between him and Baltar.
I definitely don't believe Baltar is one of the final five. He just wants it too badly, and he's far too delusional.
So, who are you leaning toward being one of the final five?

This is really tough! I've been trying to figure it out and this is what I have so far:
It can't be Adama or Col. Tye, because Cylons are brought out of their "vats" fully formed and grown, so that rules out anyone who we "know" has a history more than 5-10 years long. Adama and Tye (and Tye's late wife) have known each other for 40 years so that rules them out because they all support eachothers history (or are ALL Cylons, I suppose). Same for Apollo since Adama and Tye watched him grow up.
The same reasoning makes me shy away from Roslin as a cylon, she was on the President's cabinet on Caprica, surely the government would have investigated her background and interviewed family members, old bosses, etc, before letting her in. Also, anyone who has had kids is ruled out, like Chief and Cally (we'll assume she didn't cheat).
The last clue is that D'anna only recognized one (or was only suprised by one) of the final 5 and then apoligized. So it had to be someone she knew they had wronged. I initially thought it would be Tye, until I reasoned out the above stuff.
So, yeah, Gaeta is a strong possibility, or Starbuck (probably not) or Baltar (also probably not) or anyone who was in the dentention center on New Caperica. Could be Duella, but I don't know why D'anna would have apoligized to her....
My head hurts... too much thinking... :-(
and I'm sure it will end up being one of the people I ruled out anyway, because writers love to do that crap sometimes...

I thought the same kinds of things about Tye and Adama. Tye went through so much that unless he's an extremely convincing actor, there's no way he's a cylon. I can't see Starbuck either, just because it would be too obvious. Part of me thinks it would explain her behavior though.
My hubby and I were talking about this, and I really think that whoever it is has to know they are a cylon. It isn't going to be a big surprise to them to find out, you know what I mean?

Hmmm, I hadn't thought about the final 5 knowing/ not knowing about their cylon-ness. But you and the hubby are probably right, and they do know it.
