Survivor S42 Power Rankings (Top 6)

Aug 4, 2022 by PowerRankings101

Wow, talk about an episode. Lindsay gets the Do or Die (as predicted) but SUCCEEDS in her Do or Die game (something I did NOT predict). Instead, we see Drea losing all her power in one tribal and getting blindsided, something that I didn’t see coming. I had Drea lower on the last rating, but not because of her twists, but because of the Do or Die. Drea going home after flubbing the Knowledge is Power AND using her extra vote… wow. What an episode. Now, Lindsay finally gets an idol because of her amulet, Mike’s idol is in Omar’s hands, and Maryanne continues to hold onto her secret idol as well. This leaves only Mike, Romeo, and Jonathan vulnerable, which could lead to quite an interesting vote.

6. Jonathan Young- Jonathan could very well win immunity, but if you look at the three vulnerable people (Mike, Jonathan, Romeo), Jonathan is probably the biggest white whale of the bunch. He’s the one people will want to take out, especially with Lindsay still in the game and seemingly closely aligned with Omar and Maryanne who both have idols. If he wins immunity, I won’t be surprised, but if he doesn’t, the options will be limited and between him and Mike, I think Mike could get the numbers.

5. Mike Turner- Mike may have made a million dollar mistake in giving his idol to Omar. Sure it got rid of Drea, but if Omar holds onto it, Mike could be in trouble. The thing is, Mike still has some close allies, especially after this last vote, and someone like Omar could string Mike along to the end to USE that as a tool for the jury. I don’t really think Mike would be in TOO much danger, BUT because there are only three people currently without idols (one being a comp beast Jonathan), Mike is more vulnerable than ever.

4. Omar Zaheer- Omar really excelled this week, and got an idol out of it. It’s a tricky position because holding onto the idol could hurt his relationship with Mike. But then again, he has an idol, and Omar is a savvy enough player to probably be able to hold onto it while still maintaining an alliance with Mike. If he gives it up, he could be in DEEP danger as he would then be vulnerable alongside Jonathan and Romeo. That’s why I have him this low. But if I were Omar, I’d hold onto that idol if I can.

3. Romeo Escobar- Romeo doesn’t have an idol, but I really don’t know why anyone would waste a vote on Romeo at this point. He’s a perfect final tribal goat, and I think everyone sees that. The only way he goes home is if one of the idol winners wins immunity and gives the idol to someone vulnerable and a shot in the dark is played. That’s the only way.

2. Maryanne Oketch- Maryanne keeping her idol a secret is going to really benefit her, but honestly, I don’t think she’s really in a position where she NEEDS to use it this week. She does have it though, so she’s safe regardless, thus putting her up high once again on this ranking.

1. Lindsay Dolashewich- Lindsay was the star of this episode, thus getting my #1 spot. She has the amulet immunity idol which she can ONLY play this week, so she’s safe 100%. She has no reason not to use it if she doesn’t win immunity. She played a bold week, and not only that, but she got some great stuff for her edit, and I think she’s emerging as a deep contender to win in this last third of the game. Keep your eyes on Lindsay, she may be able to squeak out a victory.

With Lindsay, Maryanne, and Omar all safe with idols, and Romeo the obvious goat, it looks like Jonathan and Mike are vulnerable. If Omar gives up his idol back to Mike, then Omar could very well be going home, I just think he’s too savvy to do that. All signs point to Jonathan, but with a shot in the dark out there, who knows what will happen! One week away from the finale, and I think it’s becoming clearer that our contenders are Omar, Maryanne, and now Lindsay. It’ll just be a matter of who can get to the end (Having said that, we’ll probably see a Mike, Jonathan, Romeo final 3! Lol).

PREDICTIONS:

Going Home- Jonathan Young
