I thought the tribe would be evenly divided between Team Chris and Team Dom, but as it turns out, NO ONE sided with Chris! However, I was right to put Chris dead last in the power rankings, since he did end up getting voted out &#8211; with an idol in his pocket, to boot! It will be interesting to see how things will shake out next next week, now that the Chris\/Dom rivalry is finally dead. Will Dom and Wendell be targeted again? Will the women form an alliance? Or will all the former Navitis target a former Malolo? It could go a number of ways, but here\u2019s how I think the players should be ranked based on what we\u2019ve seen so far: <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>LAUREL (points earned: 1. Total points earned: 13)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/videos.cbspressexpress.com\/web-res-images\/293\/738297d3d50d023cd8a6daf9d8f0bc2e.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m keeping Laurel at the top yet again because she isn\u2019t making any enemies, is keeping herself within the dominant alliance, and is laying low. The only thing that worries me is that in the preview for next week\u2019s episode, she seems to be worried about all the power that Wendell and Domenick have in the game. Although she does need to make a big move eventually if she wants to win, it would be too early for her to take out Dom or Wendell now, especially since she\u2019s currently aligned with both of them. But perhaps that confessional was only foreshadowing for a future episode. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>DONATHAN (points earned: 1. Total points earned: 12)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/videos.cbspressexpress.com\/web-res-images\/293\/4e288d78cbb1ab738ff73499aef63b64.jpg\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Donathan, like Laurel, is staying under the radar and making solid connections with people. He also wisely ditched Chris for Dom in order to stay in the majority. He\u2019s likely safe again at the next tribal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #aaa; padding: 1em; margin: 0;\">\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; background-color: transparent text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0829502378061333\" data-ad-slot=\"8405344495\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: xx-small; position: relative; top: -2em; margin-bottom: -3em;\">Ads By Google<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>SEBASTIAN (points earned: 1. Total points earned: 14)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/videos.cbspressexpress.com\/web-res-images\/293\/b4c9f704d2a133d03587c74516e4996c.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sebastian climbed up the rankings this week because he distanced himself from Chris in the last episode. Now, he is likely to go unnoticed for awhile unless he starts winning a bunch of immunity challenges, which would paint a target on his back. But for this episode, he\u2019s probably safe. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>WENDELL (points earned: 2. Total points earned: 20)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/videos.cbspressexpress.com\/web-res-images\/293\/7c996142a21f89ba14e531d903870963.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wendell managed to get Chris out of the game, however, he is in a slightly vulnerable position now because he\u2019s shown himself to be a shrewd player. Fortunately, he still has Erik Reichenbach\u2019s immunity necklace and will probably play it if he feels that he\u2019s in danger. Otherwise, I would put him a lot lower on the rankings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>MICHAEL (points earned: 2. Total points earned: 11)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/videos.cbspressexpress.com\/web-res-images\/293\/cbb2886ec1e70148c4ac5fcee4baa9c3.jpg\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michael would probably be at the bottom of the rankings if he didn\u2019t have Ozzy\u2019s \u201cstick with a face on it\u201d idol. He\u2019s a former Malolo, he\u2019s good at challenges, and he doesn\u2019t have a lot of connections within the tribe right now, so he would be an ideal boot at the next tribal. However, he will definitely play his idol if he feels threatened at all, so he\u2019s most likely safe for at least one more tribal council. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #aaa; padding: 1em; margin: 0;\">\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; background-color: transparent text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0829502378061333\" data-ad-slot=\"8405344495\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: xx-small; position: relative; top: -2em; margin-bottom: -3em;\">Ads By Google<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>DOMENICK (points earned: 3.

Fortunately, he still has Andrea\u2019s idol from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Survivor: Caramoan <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(I\u2019m loving all these relics from past seasons!), so he will play it if he feels he needs to. However, I put him just below Wendell and Michael because he doesn\u2019t have quite as much social awareness as they do. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ANGELA (points earned: 1. Total points earned: 14)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/videos.cbspressexpress.com\/web-res-images\/293\/424229e8ccacb9c53bc1771c25549813.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Angela might be an easy vote if the Navitis decide to get rid of one of their own. However, she doesn\u2019t seem to be much of a threat at all, especially now that Chris is gone. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #aaa; padding: 1em; margin: 0;\">\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; background-color: transparent text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0829502378061333\" data-ad-slot=\"8405344495\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: xx-small; position: relative; top: -2em; margin-bottom: -3em;\">Ads By Google<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>CHELSEA (points earned: 1.

Although she\u2019s been flirting with the idea of joining the Naviti women alliance and voting out Libby (which could still happen), she could also get targeted if the others see her as too closely aligned with Domenick. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>DESIREE (points earned: 1.

Total points earned: 16)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/videos.cbspressexpress.com\/web-res-images\/293\/ed05f34a9d6c6f99cc99d6e77576ddb2.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kellyn is playing a great game so far, but last week she won immunity and she\u2019s been to Ghost Island on more than one occasion, so if Naviti starts disintegrating, Dom and Wendell could target her because she\u2019s starting to become a more visible threat. She does, however, have a vote steal advantage in her pocket, which could be of use if she finds herself in trouble. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>JENNA (points earned: 1.

Jenna isn\u2019t playing a bad game, but she\u2019s so closely aligned with Libby that she could get targeted just by her association with Libby (especially if Libby wins immunity). <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>LIBBY (points earned: 1.

She could be an easy vote, since the Naviti women and even Dom and Wendell could agree to get her out of the game. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #aaa; padding: 1em; margin: 0;\">\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; background-color: transparent text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0829502378061333\" data-ad-slot=\"8405344495\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: xx-small; position: relative; top: -2em; margin-bottom: -3em;\">Ads By Google<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Photo Credit: Robert Voets\/CBS Entertainment<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each week, we rank the remaining players in order of the players we think are most likely to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":688,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-player-analysis","content-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=809"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":813,"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809\/revisions\/813"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
