Survivor S36 Power Rankings (Top 15)

Mar 27, 2018 by PowerRankings101

Poor Stephanie. While I predicted her elimination from a mile away, it was still crushing and heartbreaking to see her dream put to an end. But I have a feeling she’ll be back in the near future. As for the future of Ghost Island, we’re getting a tribe swap, so this power ranking is pretty much up in the air. People who were in power could find themselves in danger, people who were on the bottom could rise up to the top…anything is possible.

15. Bradley Kleihege- Bradley seems to be in charge…but with this tribe swap, he could easily end up in a minority of numbers. Bradley has shown before that his antics can get on people’s nerves (remember when he complained about the quality of the beach his tribe was given?). If Bradley gets on people’s nerves, his power position could be stripped away at the snap of a finger.

14. Chris Noble- Chris is finally becoming likable, and has a new ally in Donathan. But, this tribe swap could totally ruin that for him. The Domenick vs. Chris face-off has been brewing for weeks. We haven’t been shown a lot of it because their tribe hasn’t really been in danger, but I think we’re about to see the peek of the rivalry. And Chris loses that battle 99 out of 100 times.

13. Angela Perkins- If Angela doesn’t end up on a tribe with Chris, she may be screwed. She has literally no one else on her side. This tribe swap could be an opportunity for her to gain new allies, or it could be her Survivor death sentence.

12. James Lim- James is sitting nice in the middle for his tribe, but with a tribe swap, I worry James will have trouble fitting in with a new batch. He hasn’t seemed to make a real alliance yet, and if he has another challenge dud performance, I can see him being an easy vote off.

11. Libby Vincek- Where has Libby been? She needs to remember she’s playing Survivor, not on a tropical vacation.

10. Chelsea Townsend- Chelsea proved that she is a challenge liability. Falling off a boogie board was a mark on her Survivor record. But being a big part in the decision making with Bradley, Kellyn, and Desiree…that’s where her value comes into play. She’s being shown as a factor in decision making, but isn’t a big enough threat to take out. I think Chelsea is sitting pretty right in the middle of the pack.

9. Michael Yerger- Michael has been on the bottom for two weeks in a row now. This tribe swap couldn’t have come at a better time for Michael. Because of the edit he has gotten thus far, I think Michael is someone we should root for, and I think his fight hasn’t finished yet.

8. Jenna Bowman- Flirting with Sebastian was the best move Jenna could’ve made for her game. She’s playing the Parvati game. Parvati made it to the end twice playing the same game. Jenna doesn’t necessarily have the strategy to back up the flirting just yet, so I don’t know if she’s a winner, but she could go pretty deep.

7. Sebastian Noel- Sebastian has a new ally in Jenna, and has a lot of friends from his core alliance. No matter where he goes in the swap, Sebastian is going to be able to fit in with lots of different people. I think he’ll make the merge.

6. Kellyn Bechtold- Kellyn and Bradley seem to be the leaders of the majority alliance on their tribe, but with the swap, there’s a good chance they’ll be separated. Kellyn is likable enough to find her place in another alliance, so I think she’ll be okay. Bradley on the other hand…without Kellyn, I’m not so sure.

5. Desiree Afuye- Desiree was the one who said Brendan’s name a few weeks back, and Desiree was the first one to say Stephanie’s name. Maybe she has more influence than we are shown.

4. Wendell Holland- Wendell should be fine no matter where he ends up. He’s way too likable to find himself on the chopping block. A tribe swap is where Wendell will thrive, being able to rally up more troops for team Dom.

3. Laurel Johnson- Laurel just made an alliance with Dom, the most powerful player in the game. If the tribe swap leaves her without Dom, she may not have much power, but she’s good enough in challenges that I think she’ll stay safe.

2. Donathan Hurley- Donathan is doing great! He is making relationships, finding himself as a swing vote, and improving in challenges. He’s doing exactly what he needs to make it to the end. Now he just needs to put some “umph” into his strategy to give him a resume to win.

1. Domenick Abbate- Going into a swap, the only person who is 100% safe is Dom. He’s got an idol, a legacy advantage, a Laurel, and a Wendell. He’s also good in challenges, and probably more likable than Chris if that showdown happens. He’s safe.

The way the edit is setting it up, we are due for two things: a Chris vs. Dom showdown, and a King Bradley downfall. Because of how good Chris has been in challenges, I think he has a likelier chance of surviving the challenge and keeping whichever tribe he is on safe. So I think we may be waiting another few weeks to see Chris vs. Dom. As for Bradley, this tribe swap just seems like the perfect opportunity for the underdogs to get revenge on the top dog. Bradley has been running things for some time, and will likely pay for it at some point. I think this is that point.

PREDICTIONS:

Going Home- Bradley Kleihege
