Well it looks like David and Ovi live on through Camp Comeback, and have a shot at coming back. Similarly to Edge of Extinction on Survivor, I will do a separate ranking at the bottom for the Camp Comebackers (right now, just Ovi and Dave). For now, let’s see how the 14 remaining live contestants stand a chance.
14. Jessica Milagros- Isabella told her alliance that Jessica was the head of the “Black Widow” brigade…which is false. But Jessica is Isabella’s scape goat, and it seems like she is the biggest target now because of it. Jessica has the potential to be a seriously great player, so it’s a shame she’s on the chopping block so early and probably going to Camp Comeback herself.
13. Kemi Fakunle- Kemi’s name has now been thrown out for the third time in a row. When David went home, Kemi was in the banishment challenge. When Ovi went home, Kemi was the ideal backdoor that Jack wanted originally. Now that Jack is in power, Kemi’s the most vulnerable she’s been thus far. Though I think Jess is the bigger target, Kemi could go home for just being the most unpredictable, and if they want to split her and Isabella up.
12. Nicole Anthony- If these outsider girls are getting picked off, I think Nicole is next behind Kemi and Jessica. She isn’t as threatening as those two, but I also think she’s a bigger social threat than Kat or a physical threat than Cliff. Nicole isn’t in a great position.
11. Kathryn Dunn- Jackson broke things off with Kat, which seemed to be Kat’s last bit of safety. Now, she’s on an island of her own, but because of that, she’s not really in danger at all right now.
10. Cliff Hogg III- Cliff is hanging on week by week, and I think his chances get better and better each week. He may still be on the radar as a target, but I don’t think anyone is truly worried about his game right now. I like Cliff, and think he’s on track to become a fan favorite. If he can survive a few more weeks.
9. Sam Smith- Sam won a veto last week, and came close to winning Wacktivity. It looks like Sam is going to be up against Nick, Jack, and Jackson as one of the comp beasts, which will maximize his target later on, but makes him super useful now! Still outside the core 8 though, which sucks for his game. But I hope a crack comes along soon.
8. Isabella Wong- Isabella created a Black Widow alliance and then exploited them. She’s definitely playing hard. But could it be too hard? Jessica is smart, and if she comes back around to expose Isabella, Bella’s game could come to a halt.
7. Tommy Bracco- Tommy seems to be the person in Gr8ful that the audience is most entertained by, but seems to be the least present in the group. I haven’t really seen much strategizing from him, and I’m just worried that he’s at the bottom of this alliance.
6. Christie Murphy- Christie almost backdoored Jack in week one out of pure annoyance. That’s not good, especially so early in the game. I could easily see Christie jumping ship. Not this week, but definitely at some point. She’s too smart to let all these guys control her game.
5. Analyse Talavera- Analyse has taken a back seat, but being a part of the majority alliance, she’s safe.
4. Holly Allen- Holly seems pretty savvy, but just doesn’t speak too much. She looks like she might have a fling with Jackson spurring, so naturally, that will either make or break her game. Someone like Holly might just be able to make it work.
3. Nick Maccarone- Nick is really funny, and out of the entire core 8 alliance, he’s probably my favorite next to Tommy. I haven’t seen much of his actual gameplay yet, but I like him a lot.
2. Jackson Michie- Jackson is Jack’s right hand man, so naturally, he’s safe this week. Sigh.
1. Jack Matthews- Jack has all the power right now, including a wacktivity comp win AND information from Ovi’s wacktivity win. I think Jack is annoying me a tad, but for the purpose of these rankings, he has to be on top. He is a bit of a dictator, so I don’t see him staying in power the entire game, but right now, he’s sitting at the top for the position he’s in.
Gr8ful takes up the top 8 spots in the ranking again, though I’m waiting for someone like Cliff or Sam to win HOH and completely shake things up. Let’s see. Right now, I think Jess and Kemi are the most vulnerable, with Jess being the next one on the radar.
2. David Alexander- David is definitely someone the audience is gonna root for. But he already lost a comp that Cliff seemed to have no problem with. For the story, David winning would be great. But right now, I’m rooting for Ovi and I think David’s track record in comps is looking gloomy.
1. Ovi Kabir- Ovi has a really cool power to use… if he comes back. Right now, he’s gotta go through David. It will depend on what the comp is, but right now, that Wacktivity comp has me confident that Ovi can do the job.
