Ep. 1 rankings are mostly based on what i want/expect to happen or how I see them going up or down for me... I am predicting half of these will change drastically overtime but for the most part I think I know who I like going into the first portion of the game.
Yulchele sounds like an iconic f2 duo.
- S TIER -
1 - Yul Kwon - this is shocking to me tbh... I didn't really know much about him if I am being honest going into this.. BUT HE HAS BEEN SO GOOD already.. Like the fact he is playing so strong episode 1 as someone who was probably going to be seen as irell is so iconic to me and I am rooting for him to go really far.. I feel like he will fall off overtime but for episode one he literally was the best no question and his relationship with Sophie makes him seem very likable imo. I do believe he will get exposed overtime as being a good player but as of now he seems golden on his tribe.
2 - Michele Fitzgerald - MOMMY... I think if you don't love Michele you probably have something wrong with you. It's impossible not to root for her and I am hoping she slays next episode and goes on to slay the game as she is most likely going to be my most consistent fave out of this cast but only time will tell.
- A TIER -
3 - Sandra Diaz-Twine - OVERRATED AF.. but the way she slayed amber over something so petty is iconic af and is what I wanted to see.. Amber is boring anyways but the fact she said "fuck rob" simply over not telling her he was coming back is sooooo good. I am rooting for her to slay him just so she can showcase how petty she is... ALSO the fact she has an idol from Natalie is iconic because if Nat comes back I am going to pray she works with her and Jeremy.
4 - Sophie Clarke - A QUEEN. I am really just living for her relationship with Yul and because of that I had to place her high... I hope she does well along side of him.
5 - Parvati Shallow - Literally she is the reason I even got into Survivor way back watching videos of her being the most iconic female to literally ever exist.... Going into it she was easily #1 or #2 hands down.. BUT she is beginning to drop simply because I feel like she won't be aging well in this season.. I personally am fine with her in ep.1 as it's iconic seeing her have pretty much no target on her back atm except for a possible Jeremy revenge vote. (Hoping I can grow to stan her though so I am keeping her rather high)
- B TIER -
6 - Natalie Anderson - I have always liked Natalie but never really stanned her or anything crazy.. BUT SHE WAS FUCKING ROBBED... like this shit was rigged.. how can you leave jeremy/natalie on the same tribe but separate amber and rob... I don't get it... I am rooting for her to beat out amber in helping Jeremy get some sort of adv or idol from E.O.E.
7 - Jeremy Collins - ANOTHER love to hate, hate to love for me in survivor... I have almost always rooted against him and disliked him BUT for this first episode I feeling #TEAMJEREMY.. He is seeming to be with Michelle going into this next day I'd assume which is a BIG PLUS.. and the fact Natalie got slayed in a pretty horrible way due to how they weren't split up sucks... I am rooting for him to make a big move going into ep.2
8 - Kim Spradlin - I am expecting her to rise on my ranking as the season goes on.. the way she was so powerless this first episode and was clearly so uncomfortable with it all on her tribe was so good... It makes me root for her to take over her tribe somehow and gain better footing.
- C TIER -
9/10 - Adam Klein & Denise Stapley - I stan the f2 but they are ultimately boring in the major plot of the game atm.. I see them dropping so low so fast for me if they move into a middle position on their tribe...
11 - Danni Boatwright - I really like her rn...BUT THE FACT SHE DIDN'T CARE TO FIGURE OUT WHO LEAKED ON HER is gross.. I could never (maybe it was smart for her) but I would have instantly hunted down that person and made sure they went home day 1.
12 - Wendell Holland - I enjoy him in a way... but I am making a prediction that I'll get super bored with him throughout this season and he will most likely become one of my most hated throughout this one.. BUT WHO KNOWS
13 - Rob Mariano - so I stan his gameplay.. HE LITERALLY has these bitches shaking ep.1 on a winners season but I hate how rigged it feels for him atm.. LIKE ben sheeping everyone and being disgusting is going to work well for him & he has Parvati / Poker to basically back tf out of him.. IF HE DOESN'T GO within the next couple tribals I'll be shocked honestly as idk How they would let him get to a swap
- D TIER -
14 - Tyson Apostol - I feel like he is someone you love to hate or hate to love... I never have been able to just enjoy him on tv and because of this I am hoping he gets slayed every single time he is at tribal BUT once he goes I know i'll probably lose a big portion of game play so I am conflicted.
15 - Tony Vlachos - He isn't bad at all But I just know I'd hate him if I was ever in a season with him and if he stays too long I'll shoot myself.. HE GETS SO IRRITATING to watch imo and I just won't be able to take it.
16 - Sarah Lacina - I feel like she will be a dirty menist if she makes merge and I just can't support it.
- F TIER -
17 - Nick Wilson - no explanation just bores me.
18 - Amber Mariano - Similar to ethan.. Her only story line is she is Rob's wife and that is it.
19 - Ethan Zohn - BORING AF.. like he clearly only has 1 story line this whole season.
20 - Ben Driebergen - FLIP FLOP FLIP FLOP.. SNAKE.. he literally was so shady and should have been first boot.. the way he leaked everything and was playing day1 as if it was stars and he was trying to play the middle immediately made him my least favorite of the season.. PLEASE SOMEONE SLAY HIM.
Danni would be higher if she went after Ben for trying to be shady and expose her.... Denise/Adam need more progression before I like either of them rn... they seem to be heading for a gross middle position if I’m right on my prediction
