The first and one of the hardest rankings to do. Remember that early on power rankings are about position more than winning potential.

Lairo

Missy – Missy had a great week. She made a power alliance and kept her allies Elaine and Vince in the game. If Elizabeth is gonna tell anyone about the island it will be her. I can image that she is safe till the swap. Overall, she is playing solidly and looks like she could be in the game for a while. Tom – Despite being in the trio that was targeted early, he was never the main target. The tribe sees him as a strong physical asset and now he is in the majority. Tom is liked by everyone and I can see him slipping under the radar for a bit. Overall, he is representing Canada well. Chelsea – Chelsea is playing a very quiet game. She slipped into the majority and is good with everyone. Chelsea should be in the background for a bit and make it to the swap. Chelsea currently doing better in airtime than the last Chelsea. Overall, she will stick around for a bit. Elizabeth – Despite her dumb decision lying about the twist, Elizabeth is in a good spot. She is Missy’s number one and is firmly in the core of the majority. Elizabeth lucked out when Karishma and Dean flipped causing her not to be exposed. Elizabeth should be good considering a Vokai member is going next week. Overall, Elizabeth is good if the lie does not get out. Dean – Dean may have fumbled in the challenge but he made the right call to flip on Ronnie. Otherwise, we didn’t get anything from him. I feel like Dean is gonna coast to a swap. Overall, not the best episode for him but not the worst. Karishma – The other person to flip their vote. The girls might get pissed at her for betraying the girls alliance which is the only reason that she is below Dean. Karishma can recover easily and she is not the main target. Overall, she is safe for now but might be in trouble in the future. Elaine – Elaine proved herself to be good at reading people. She was saved by talking to Arron and Ronnie and convincing them that they can work with her and she read that Ronnie didn’t want her around. The reason she is low is due to the fact that her name is out there making it easier to rally votes against her since she has been targeted before. Overall, Elaine escaped being eliminated but she might be a target sooner rather than later. Vince – Vince unintentionally put the target on himself by telling Elaine about the vote. I see Vince as that person who is the alternative vote due to already being a target and perceived challenge weakness. Getting votes early usually makes it easier for people to vote for you again since they don’t want to make a new enemy. Overall, despite being included in both plans he is in a rough spot. Aaron – He just lost his number one and he was the only one to vote with Ronnie. Aaron is screwed if the tribe votes on trust. Aaron is on the bottom of the tribe and could easily go home. The thing he has going for him is physical strength but it was the puzzle that really cost them the win so strength might not be a factor. Overall, he is the most likely to be voted out next.

Vokai

Tommy – Tommy has positioned himself in a six majority and he is liked by everyone. Tommy has Jack as his main ally and made connections with everyone. He is so well insulated and I don’t see him going anytime soon. Overall, Tommy is in the best position in the game. Jamal – The reason I put Jamal so high is due to the fact that everyone has something good to say about him and unlike on Lairo where it hurts you to be likable on day 2. Jamal seems like he could fill a role similar to Tom on Lairo by being the strong, likable guy who no one worries about. Jamal was also brought into the majority despite not being in the initial meeting because they like him so much. Overall, Jamal is playing a good UTR game. Jack – Jack did a great job last episode. He made Tommy his ride or die, got in a majority and proved himself in the challenge. Also, he caught a clam that gave us a great gif. Jack is golden till at least the late premerge. Overall, I feel good about my winner pick. Molly – Molly had a great premiere. She is in the majority and the only conflict I see with her is the whole Dan situation but Kellee handled that. What also put Molly ahead of someone like Kellee who is in the same position is her noticing that Jason was gone. Molly is shaping up to stick around for a while. Overall, Molly is doing good. Kellee – Kellee is pretty much equal to Molly. The thing that puts her below Molly is the fact that the Dan thing was more focused on her than Molly so it could impact her game later. Overall, She is doing good and I wonder how going to the island will affect her game. Lauren – Lauren is in the majority! (thanks to /u/speekeasier54 on Reddit for pointing that out) Lauren came off really well in the premiere. Having a tribe that hasn’t voted yet makes it hard to rank them. Overall, Lauren is doing good and should be safe for a few votes. Janet – It hurts to put her this low since she killed it in the premiere but she was not included in the majority. Thankfully, there are a couple of targets in front of her. Janet proved everyone wrong be being a badass and breaking the mold of an older woman on Survivor. Overall, one of my favorites and I hope she stays around. Dan – Dan did not do well this premiere. The women on the tribe think he is creepy and he is in the minority. He did the mature thing by admitting that he was wrong and correcting himself but that label is hard to shake. Overall, Dan is not doing great but he has a bit of a safety net. Noura – Noura is not long for Survivor. When your reasoning for helping someone is due to them reminding you of an ex that does not bode well for your chances. The preview also did not help. This girl is messy as hell and could make herself a target over Jason. Overall, she is a hot mess but hot messes have gone far before. Jason – Jason screwed himself by looking for that idol 10 minutes after they got there. You should stay with the group to figure out if this is a gaming type of tribe. Jason is public enemy number 1 currently with only Noura in his corner. Jason could recover if Noura makes herself a target or Dan does not stop being touchy. Overall, Jason needs the dynamic to change in order for him to survive.

The person doing the best currently is Tommy while the most likely person to be voted out is Jason or Aaron. I predict that Vokai loses and the vote is between Noura and Jason. Finally, the purple player of next episode will be Tom.

Grab your stuff and head back to camp!
