Who will climb to the top of Tony’s bamboo ladder?

Sele

1. Adam – Adam had a great week despite not finding the torch hole. He got half an idol, helped control the vote and made the correct decision of who to boot. Adam has the new schoolers but he also has the respect of the old schoolers to the point that he was not brought up as a target in the initial discussion. Adam is clearly going far and he is impressing me this time. Overall, Adam is playing a better game than his first time.

2. Denise – Denise may have had a moment where she thought that giving a half to Parvati was a good idea but she did well this week. The fact that she got Danni’s token says a lot about her social game. Also, she managed to smuggle her idol through Boston Rob’s TSA search. Denise and Adam are a great pair in this game. Overall, Denise has made a full recovery from last week and has life in this game.

3. Michele – Michele was quiet again but she is in the majority and was not a target this vote. She has Jeremy as her number one and rest of the new school alliance to back her up. Overall, she is in a solid spot.

4. Jeremy – Jeremy has benefited so much from Natalie being voted out. He has an advantage plus a token to spare. Jeremy is seen as a threat by the old schoolers. Jeremy needed a power shift and he got it. Overall, Jeremy is doing well.

5. Ethan – Ethan was in every conversation this week. The new schoolers and old schoolers trust him. Ethan is the most likely to survive if the old schoolers are picked off. Overall, Ethan is in the minority but he is essentially safe.

6. Ben – Ben is once again coming off as unpredictable. Ben did a good thing by helping Denise but everyone sees him as untrustworthy. Ben is the new schooler that they would be willing to sacrifice if Rob and Parvati are safe. Overall, Ben is doing bad but he is not the main target.

7. Parvati – Parvati had her name thrown out by Danni and lost control of the numbers. Parvati is safer than Rob because Denise was willing to give the half idol to her at first. This shows us that Parvati has more connections than we thought. Now that the new schoolers have a full majority Parvati is in a tough spot. Overall, Parvati is in danger but she has gotten out of worse situations.

8. Rob – Rob had a bad week outside of the bag search. He lost the puzzle and his wife is on the edge. He is also a huge threat in this game and everyone knows it. The new schoolers see him as the leader of the old schoolers and want him gone. Overall, Rob might be with his wife on the edge soon.

Dakal

Sophie – Sophie is high up in the majority and she has half an idol from Kim. Sophie is playing well and is in a great position to run the game. Sophie is becoming a power player when no one expected her to. Sophie is one of the contenders to win again and I am excited to see how her game turns out. Overall, Sophie is playing great and is gonna make a deep run. Yul – Sophie’s nerd shield may have only gotten a breadfruit this week but he is still in a great position. Everyone trusts him and he is leading the majority alliance. Nothing has changed from last week with Yul. Wendell – He is in the same spot from last week and was not in the episode. Nick – He was in the episode even less than Wendell but he is still in that majority alliance so he ranks high in the rankings. Tony – Tony had a great week in terms of entertainment. His ladder is revolutionary. Tony also officially solidified his bond with Sarah. Tony also has a solid alliance with Sandra and is seen as the fun guy in the tribe. These antics are really helping him be endeared to the tribe and lowering his threat level. Overall, Tony needs to continue with these antics for his game and our entertainment. Kim – Kim’s move may be better than we thought upon reflection. This gives her value over Tyson if the vote comes down to it. On the downside, she is still on the outs and Sophie has control of her life in the game. Overall, her idol play could go either way. Sandra – Sandra’s name was thrown out in the preview but she has an idol and Sandra will play it if she knows that she is in danger. Sandra also has the gritty trio of her, Sarah and Tony and some support from people in the majority. Overall, Sandra is a decent spot but she might need to play the idol. Tyson – Tyson’s name was also thrown out in the preview but I have a theory on this. I think that Yul is trying to get Sandra out so he told her Tyson to get Sandra on his trail then vote her out. I honestly think Tyson is not the main target like the preview suggests. Tyson is still not in a great spot due to him being on the outs with Kim and she did not share the idol with him. Overall, I think Tyson might be the decoy/back up target next week. Sarah – Y’all might be wondering why Sarah is on the bottom when she just made a duo with Tony? Using that theory that I described in Tyson’s entry, I believe that Sandra will use the idol causing Sarah to go home because of a split. I think Yul wants to break up both trios to have full control of the tribe and Sarah will be the back up target that gets idoled out. I think it will be Sarah over Tony because Tony has been endearing himself to the tribe lately. Overall, Sarah could go soon if Dakal loses.

Honorable Mention: Tony’s Ladder

Edge of Extinction

Natalie – She has the strength to win a challenge and she is killing it at selling these advantages. Danni – Danni is strong at challenges and she has been on edge for the shortest of the three so she had more energy. Amber – Amber got a fun deleted scene with a fish this week. I don’t think Amber has a shot at returning.

If Sele loses it will be Rob or Parvati. If Dakal loses I think that either Sandra goes, Sarah is idoled out or Tyson is actually the target and I just over analysed the preview.

Grab your stuff and head back to camp!
