The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines Episode 2 Power Rankings

Oh man, this season of The Challenge is wild. There is no rhyme or reason given to the challengers on format and because of loosey goosey changes, the number one team of last week's power rankings went home as it was revealed to be a guy's elimination week. With the format changing again, the players will be broken into teams and play against their bloodline. So here's how things could fair with that in mind


#1) Cara Maria (2)



Cara is proving herself to be a leader and veteran despite making almost a huge blunder. She was able to recover from telling Dario and Raphy they were going into The Pit, then sending in Stephen and Thomas, and still managing to get Stephen to understand. With the players being broken up, Cara will be one of the strongest, if not the strongest, female player. Unless people target her early, she can make it to the big time.  


#2) Cory (3)



Cory is the rookie underdog. He's a strong competitor and not making any waves in the drama department. People are drawn to him and probably would not like to see him leave. If Cory remains under the radar, he could sail his way deep into this game. 


#3) Johnny (5)



Bananas must be thrilled that he will be split from Vince. It makes his target just a bit smaller. Johnny knows how to manipulate and in a team setting, he will want to take charge. The only factor that could hurt Johnny is how exactly players are selected to go into The Pit. 


#4) Jamie (2)


Jamie was sitting pretty with Cara in the top but in a game of veterans, losing her could be a good sign for him. If Jamie can break out and become his own person, he could see a clear path to victory. Like Cory, he hasn't seemed to rub anyone the wrong way and is strong in the challenges. 


#5) Dario (7)



Dario is tricky. He was able to sway Cara into not sending him in. But he used scare tactics. While it worked, it proves that he has an ego. Dario and Raphy seem to have big heads and will want to prove their worth. Some players will stray from that. Others, like Bananas, will likely feed into it and be willing to fight. 


#6) Raphy (7)

Raphy is tricky. Because it's hard to tell him apart from Dario. With people breaking up into teams, perhaps the twins could use it to their advantage. Maybe play a little game of parent trap. Raphy is a strong player. But he's still a newbie. 

#7) Mitch (3)

Mitch is like that good kid that has no idea what he's doing at the bad kids' table. Mitch has a great smile and is loved by all. And he seems like a legit player. He will likely float so far under the radar that he will see the final challenge just because everyone forgot he was there. 


#8) Anthony (4)

So here's the thing about Anthony being ahead of his cousin Kelly Anne. Anthony is broing out and that is a good sign. Kelly Anne lost her closest pal in Cohutta and will need to find some new friends. Cara seems like the most viable option for her. But as far as Anthony goes, if he and his bros continue their game, he will carry Kelly Anne far. 


#9) Leroy (12)

Leroy takes a giant leap by cutting the cord from Candice. No offense to her but she was holding him back. Leroy must be thrilled. Leroy is a vet with some strong ties. If he can take a leadership role, Leroy could skate through for some time. Again, the struggle will be how the players are determined for The Pit. 


#10) Shane (11)

Shane is the life of the party. How can you not love him! Like Leroy, being detached from Tony will only be for the best. Shane will now have to prove he can play alone and be a dominating force in the challenge. Otherwise his slim stature will get him a place in The Pit. 


#11) Kelly Anne (4)

Kelly Anne had a great alliance going with Cara and Cohutta but losing Cohutta is bad news. While there's likely no bad blood between her and Nany, both former loves of Cohutta's, it could be an excuse to be a target. Kelly Anne has proven herself to be a fierce competitor time in and time out. But being one of the older kids this time around could backfire.


#12) Nany (6)

Nany is trying to change her ways. And so far, so good. Nany has played best when she was trying to prove herself to her partner. Going partnerless in a team setting may allow her to take a backseat. Or panic even more that she's letting more people down if she fails. Either way, her head is in the game now more than ever. 


#13) Aneesa (10)

Aneesa is an outcast. She fits in but anyway you cut it, she is the odd man out. Being the oldest person present could make her an easy target. Or it could benefit her with the young ones trying to use her for her knowledge. She needs to get with the vets and find security fast. 


#14) Camila (8)

Camila is not going to want to fight against Larissa and that will likely cause drama. Drama is usually a good sign to get yourself booted. Camila is one of the lowest ranking vets for a reason. This new format will work against her. 


#15) Thomas (9)

Thomas likes Cara and that is the only reason he forgave her. There was absolutely no strategy behind it. In fact, he should have used it to his advantage. While the fans know something is brewing, once Abram arrives, Thomas better sleep with one eye open.


#16) Stephen (9)

Being a twin must suck. It's probably that Stephen was always the cooler twin growing up but now in The Challenge world, he is the forgotten one. Stephen is literally along for the ride. And he needs to do something soon before he is completely lost in Turkey.

#17) Vince (5)

Vince is a firestarter. Being away from Johnny will work against him because he has no one to fall back on. Vince needs to prove that he is worth the headaches that he causes. Stirring drama for drama's sake is a bad strategic move. One person catches wind and he could kiss his chances goodbye. 


#18) Nicole

Nicole is full of emotions. Being separated from her cousin could prove bad for her. She has been holding onto Nany for support. Like Camila and Larissa, she won't want to battle Nany. Nicole will need to lay low from the drama and prove that she is a competitor.


#19) Larissa (6)

Here's the thing about Larissa. She's virtually a replica of Camila in animation and electricity. She does not seem to have any strength as a challenger though. Larissa must prove her worth fast or she could be seeing the Staten Island Cousin in The Pit. 

#20) Rianna (10)

Rianna has alliances with two people who just don't fit into this mix of people. And that's hilarious because now separated, she sticks out as a weak player. Rianna needs to hope and pray that Mitch is on her side so she has support otherwise she is an easy scapegoat. 


#21) Tony (11)

Tony is getting a reputation. Depending on the time of day and whether or not he has alcohol in his system displays a different side of T.Raines. Tony is an easy target for a guy's elimination because of his drama. 


#22) Candice (12)

Candice should be crying now that she's separated from Leroy. This is a worse case scenario for her. Lord help the team that is stuck with her and one of the Long Island Cousins. 


#23) Jenna (13)

Jenna wants to play. Brianna doesn't. And now that they are apart, Jenna must be thrilled. But that doesn't help the fact that she's still a super weak player. Jenna must rely on her social game to take her far. 

#24) Brianna (13)

She doesn't want to be here. It's a proven fact. Unless someone talks some sense into her, the team stuck with Brianna will throw her in the first chance they get. 

Survivor Cambodia: Episode 13 Power Rankings

The Finale is upon us and it's the biggest one yet! The end of season 31 is bound to bring some fireworks as well as something that has never happened before! What will it be? A double idol play that nullifies all votes? A tie in Final Tribal Council? A Final Four? We'll find out tonight! Who will be the Sole Survivor?

#1) Jeremy (2)


This is Jeremy's game to lose. He has had the winner's edit from the start. He has a story to back up a victory. He'll drop the baby bomb at tribal and will garner many sympathy votes. He has trust in almost every person remaining. He has a good rapport with almost every member of the jury. He may have been playing a low key game, but he's been playing. 

#2) Spencer (4)


Gamebot has emotions and apparently a good game. He has been a mover and shaker. And that may bug a few people the wrong way on the jury. He won't have any sympathy votes from anyone. He will need to rely on his resume to win. Is it strong enough?

#3) Kelley (3)


From the first episode, we all have had our eyes on Kelley Wentworth, the girl who we weren't sure deserved a second chance. And boy is she proving us wrong! Kelley has a resume. We could see her make a big idol move. But in a game of loyalties, her jury management may be a little weak. It would be a big blow for the big players for Kelley to win but prove that Survivor should continue bringing back pre-merge players. 

#4) Tasha (1)

Tasha has an alliance in Spencer and Jeremy but both guys know that bringing Tasha would pull votes away from them. And that's not good for them. Tasha will likely get blindsided and be a super bitter jury member. 

#5) Kimmi (5)

Kimmi has played an extraordinary game by playing under the radar. She has made some moves and has been in the majority throughout. Kimmi has a story that will win her votes and that makes her a big threat at this point. Kimmi should be super proud of how she played. But Kimmi will be cut. Perhaps due to a shocking Tribal Council.

#6) Keith (7)

There is no logic to Keith winning this game. He doesn't have a tight alliance and the remaining players don't want a goat stealing votes in the finale. The moment Keith loses immunity, he is an easy vote to go.

The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines Episode 1 Power Rankings

The drama was in full swing. And so were the hookups. After hookups (Cory and Aneesa!? Mitch and Rianna?! Kelly Anne and Dario?! Tony and Christina...well, we didn't quite see that...), fights (let's just lump everyone into that one), and a duo almost kicked off (brothers will be brothers but cool it Raines kids!), the bloodlines are surely out for blood. The format was a bit confusing and will likely change up, but the first casualties were Are You the One?'s Christina and her sister Emily. With a few players forming some sort of strategic alliance (Cara, Kelly Anne, and Cohutta) to prevent Bananas from winning, will this be a consistent Bananas attack or will The Challenge beast form a brigade to take control?

#1) Cohutta and Jill (3)



Cohutta and Jill won the first challenge. By default you could say. Or strategy. While Cohutta was in the dark about the plan of attack, Cara and Kelly Anne had their partners help Cohutta win to prevent Johnny Bananas from winning. It was a smart move. Cohutta and Jill were a strong duo already, this makes them even more powerful. Especially since they elected a rookie team that went home to go into the Pit. 

#2) Cara Marie and Jamie (1)


Cara made a strong move against Johnny last week. Was she playing too strong too soon? We'll find out but she proved she's in it to win it. Jamie seems like a good competitor but it will all come down to how his cousin plays the social game. So far they're out of the drama. Which is good because there are a lot of drama targets.

#3) Cory and Mitch (2)



These boys are rookie threats. They have bonds with a veteran in Aneesa and her cousin Rianna. Is it a coincidence that the partners are partnering? Perhaps. Cory, even with liquor in his system, did not get into the drama with Vince. And that shows he's in it for the victory. Mitch seems really well liked. Cory and Mitch are definitely the underdogs and dark horses of the season. Watch out for them.

#4) Kelly Anne and Anthony (6)

Kelly Anne and her old beau Cohutta had little camera time together. Rather she found a cute boy toy in Dario. Will that last or is she manipulating him for a number? I predict the latter. Her strategy with Cara will likely help her but she and Johnny have a volatile past. Expect it to ignite if Johnny doesn't get his way.

#5) Johnny and Vince (4)

I'm predicting a Johnny Bananas temper tantrum soon. The first challenge proved that no one wants him to win. And that does not bode well for him. He needs to create an army to carry out his dirty work or he will be gone. Vince is like a replica of his cousin. Vince is not afraid to spread some lies to stir up the drama. He just needs to check himself if no one wants to play the drama game with him. They are the villains of the season, no doubt.

#6) Nany and Nicole (9)

Nany has always depended on others when she played this game. Now she has someone depending on her. We saw her rise to the occasion and avoid the drama when Vince tried to stir up the rumors of her and Cory hooking up. Nany cannot have a breakdown and she can not get caught up on the broken heart she has because of Cohutta. Nany needs to keep her head in the game. Nicole, on the other hand, is ready to get into the drama mix. Watch out for her. She will cause some damage.

#7) Dario and Raphy (11)

Dario and Raphy are twins and cannot be told apart. Or least, I can't tell them apart. They seem like a strong duo but they are arrogant. And that will likely bite them in the ass. Kelly Anne has her pulse on Dario and he has no idea.

#8) Camila and Larissa (5)

The Brazilian Sisters found drama already! Are we really surprised? We didn't really see much out of their challenge play but Camila and Larissa are likely going to get on people's nerves. Camila may need to find some allies. And that ally may be Johnny Bananas, the man her dragged her to previous victory.

#9) Thomas and Stephen (10)

They seem like great guys. But they don't seem like they're cut out for this game. They are both equally endearing and goofy. They probably have a great social game going. If the format changes and people want an easy Pit victory, expect the twins to be targeted soon.

#10) Aneesa and Rianna (12)

Aneesa is the oldest competitor. But she will make you forget that. She is eager to party and play and do what it takes to finally win one. By aligning with Cory and Mitch, Aneesa could be saved and carried far. That is if they stay out of the bottom. And with Christina and Emily gone, that is likely not going to happen. 

#11) Tony and Shane (8)

Oh man. Tony has a reputation. And he confirmed that reputation on day one. He should be thankful that Christina is gone. And he should be equally thankful that he and Shane weren't kicked off for their stupid fight. Shane is a social butterfly. People love him. But he needs his brother to stay in check. Little bro will need to keep an eye on big bro or they are goners. 

#12) Leroy and Candice (7)

Leroy can't catch a break! Candice is getting the dodo edit already. She's not very strong. She puked on the van. Leroy will need to carry his cousin to victory or he will be gone oh so fast. 

#13) Jenna and Brianna (14)

We are seeing a new side of Jenna. The feisty side. She just needs to bring that fire into the challenges to keep her and her cousin out of the Pit. Right now, they will be the bottom team from now until they're gone. We know they will get into some family drama soon. Will that hurt their game play? 

Survivor Cambodia: Episode 12 Power Rankings

It's the final 7! And in Survivor, this is a pivotal week. Voting blocs are likely gone in favor of a final 4 alliance. With Joey Amazing gone, how will the cards stack going into this vote? And who holds all the power? 

#1) Tasha (4)



We saw last week that Tasha is still in favor with Jeremy and Spencer but also had a call in from Kimmi in regards to an all-girls alliance. So what does this mean for Tasha? She has the power of the sway. She easily has 4 girls for the girl alliance. If she sticks with Jeremy and Spencer, they will need to pull in a person to give them the majority. This is Tasha's make or break moment. 

#2) Jeremy (2)



Jeremy has pretty much remained in the top 3 all season. This vote will determine if he can ride it out into the finale. Jeremy still has a hidden immunity idol that should let him survive another week. But it's all a numbers game from here on out. Jeremy needs hope and a lot of trust in Tasha or he will be target number one. 

#3) Kelley (3)



Oddly enough, this week may be about who can win Keith. And it will be Kelley or Jeremy. Keith's vote is essential. As is the playing of the hidden immunity idol. With Jeremy and Kelley being key strategic players this season, don't be surprised to see them both play their idols and knock out an innocent bystander.

#4) Spencer (1)

Spencer sees the finish line. It's just can he get there. And he can't get there on his own. Spencer needs Tasha more now than he ever did on Cagayan. He will need to play the Brain Tribe trust card or he will go before Final Tribal Council. He's a threat and he knows it. 

#5) Kimmi (5)

Kimmi is funny. She loathed Monica's idea of an all-girls alliance. Yet she brings it up last week. Knock her all you want, it was a smart play. And from her vantage point, it's present when they eliminated Joe. But does it have the stamina to last this vote? Just ask Tasha

#6) Abi-Maria (6)

Abi will always be a Survivor villain. Her one-liners will be forever etched in Survivor history books. But do villains come out on top? Rarely. And Abi will not break that mold. Abi could be the goat that lands a ticket to the finale. But with the makeup of the jury being what it is, she could easily end up stealing votes from deserving players. 

#7) Keith (7)

So apparently Keith stuck to the plan...to split votes? Keith's lone vote for Tasha came as a surprise to many viewers but there was apparent logic to it. And the strategy to not tell Keith that the plan to vote Joe was in place to prevent him from telling Joe and thus scrambling. Keith, at 52 years old, is a challenge competitor and will need to win immunity because he is a big threat to make it to the finale. And if he does, his under the radar strategy could be rewarded. 

So what do you think? Who will get the boot? And is there any chance of a double idol play to create an epic tribal council?

The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines Pre Season Power Rankings

It's back! MTV's fan favorite The Challenge (formally known as The Real World/Road Rules Challenge) is back and bringing you a new twist! Rather than filling the entire cast of former Challenge alums and newbies, this time, it gets familiar. Similarly to Survivor, The Challenge: The Battle of the Bloodlines pairs MTV vets with a loved one, whether it be brothers, sisters, or cousins. There are some returning faces mixed with some recent cast members. How will they fair? Here are the pre season power rankings.

#1) Cara Maria and Jamie (Cousins)


Cara's Original Season: Fresh Meat II
The Challenge Appearances: Fresh Meat II, Cutthroat, Rivals, Battle of the Exes, Battle of the Seasons II, Rivals II, Free Agents

Cara Maria has NEVER won a challenge and if that isn't the drive that will guide her to the end, I don't know what will. She's bringing Jamie, her beefy cousin, who seems like a good asset. Cara's biggest struggle in the past has been her social game but she doesn't seem to have anyone around that will be a problem. Expect Cara to do well this challenge. 

#2) Cory and Mitch (Cousins)


Cory's Original Season: The Real World: Explosion
The Challenge Appearances: Debut

Cory is a beast. After a crazy time in San Francisco where he had to deal with his new lady and her ex, Cory seems fresh for The Challenge fight. Cory and Mitch seem like a good mix of brains and brawn and could be the dark horse duo of the season. Cory does have a natural ally in Thomas but after his last outing, he may want to part ways fast. 

#3) Cohutta and Jill (Cousins)


Cohutta's Original Season: The Real World: Sydney
The Challenge Appearances: The Islands, The Ruins, Free Agents

How can you not love Cohutta! Cohutta is a loveable person and a great competitor. And depending on how the game shakes out, Cohutta could find himself in his first finals. If his cousin Jill is anything like him, this duo will do fine. But Cohutta's kryptonite will be his ex-girlfriend Kelly Anne. This reunion has been seen on The Challenge in the past but does time heal all wounds? 

#4) Johnny and Vince (Cousins)


Johnny's Original Season: The Real World: Key West
The Challenge Appearances: The Dual, Inferno III, Guantlet III, The Island, The Ruins, Cutthroat, Rivals, Battle of the Exes, Rivals II, Free Agents, Battle of the Exes II

You are either a Bananas fan or you're not. If you are, he'll be a good person to play with. If you're not, get ready to go home. Johnny Bananas is the ultimate veteran of The Challenge and has, at this point, nothing to prove. All he wants is the money. It's a business trip. Expect his knowledge to get him far but watch him and his cousin Vince get a pre-final boot.

#5) Camila and Larissa (Sisters)


Camila's Original Season: Spring Break Challenge
The Challenge Appearances: Cutthroat, Rivals, Battle of the Exes, Battle of the Seasons, Rivals II, Free Agents

Camila is a Brazilian firecracker. And her sister Larissa seems like a duplicate. If Camila and Larissa come to cause trouble, they will be gone because no one will deal with it. But if they can win challenges, they will do ok. Camila is bound to get into fights with anyone, it's just a matter of who her next rival will be. 

#6) Kelly Anne and Anthony (Cousins)


Kelly Anne's Original Season: The Real World: Sydney
The Challenge Appearances: The Island, The Ruins

She may look small but Kelly Anne is a competitor. And that's why she'll go far. It's been some time since Kelly Anne has made an appearance on The Challenge but she seems older and wiser. Bringing her cousin Anthony, they will be a powerhouse combo but it all depends on Kelly Anne's social game. And of course, how her and Cohutta get along. 

#7) Leroy and Candice (Cousins)


Leroy's Original Season: The Real World: Las Vegas (2011)
The Challenge Appearances: Rivals, Battle of the Exes, Rivals II, Free Agents, Battle of the Exes II

On his first season, Leroy proved he was a competitor. He's been a recent staple of The Challenge and has made some great pals, some of whom are featured this season. With a good social game, Leroy will be able to carry his cousin Candice around in case she's not a good competitor. This is one pair that I can see fighting and causing some bad family reunions to come. 

#8) Tony and Shane (Brothers)


Tony's Original Season: The Real World: Skeletons
The Challenge Appearances: Debut

Tony is known to have a plethora of woman that he calls his girlfriends that caused him to have so many issues in The Real World house. But without his main squeeze Madison and his brother Shane to reel him in, Tony can go pretty far. Tony has the strength, and Shane, who did appear for a bit on his brother's season, is a social butterfly. They will go fair until the others discover the big threat they are.

#9) Nany and Nicole (Cousins)


Nany's Original Season: The Real World: Las Vegas (2011)
The Challenge Appearances: Battle of the Seasons II, Rivals II, Free Agents, Battle of the Exes

Nany is volatile and has gotten her in trouble in the past. Nicole looks like she is a replica. Like Camila and Larissa, these two will fight for a win. But are they strong enough together to make it far? Likely not. Nany will likely side with Bananas which could be her downfall. 

#10) Thomas and Stephen (Brothers)


Thomas's Original Season: The Real World: ExPlosion
The Challenge Appearances: Battle of the Exes II

Thomas had a pretty awful showing in Battle of the Exes. Thomas is bringing his twin Stephen along for the ride. If Stephen is the better of the identical twins, perhaps they could go far. But Thomas doesn't seem like a social butterfly and could find himself out of the loop early.

#11) Dario and Raphy (Brothers)


Dario's Original Season: Are You the One? Season 2
The Challenge Appearances: Debut

As we saw last season, the animosity between Challengers and the newcomers from Are You the One? was minimal. All the drama has been coming from the fans. That being said, Dario will be a challenge threat as is his brother Raphy. With an excuse being his original season, expect Dario and Raphy for fly home quickly.

#12) Aneesa and Rianna (Cousins)


Aneesa's Original Season: The Real World: Chicago
The Challenge Appearances: Battle of the Sexes, Battle of the Sexes II, Gauntlet II, The Duel, The Inferno III, The Duel II, Rivals, Battle of the Exes, Rivals II, Free Agents

Poor Aneesa. All she wants to do is win one of these! And sadly, this format is not in her favor. With her cousin Rianna, Aneesa will likely go home early. With no allies and being one of the oldest in the bunch, Aneesa has little hope. Unless the others don't deem her a threat and keep her around. Then expect a fire from her eyes.

#13) Christina and Emily (Sisters)


Christina's Original Season: Are You the One? Season 2
The Challenge Appearances: Debut

Another casualty of show, Christina and her sister Emily will need to find a way into an alliance or they will be finding their way home early. They are easily the token pretty girls of the season but how many of these boys came her to play...with girls?

#14) Jenna and Brianna (Cousins)


Jenna's Original Season: The Real World: Exposion
The Challenge Appearances: Battle of the Exes II

Jenna skated her way to the finals of Battle of the Exes II by pure luck and the fact that her and Jay were a swing vote and not a target. She proved her worthlessness when she quit the final challenge, though many have said they would have been disqualified for time anyway. Her cousin Brianna is a carbon copy and that is not good for either of them. If they become a number, they will make a run. If someone wants an easy victory, they're goners. 

So what do you think? Is it finally Cara's time to win? And who else is tired of Johnny Bananas? Check out The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines tonight on MTV! 

Survivor Cambodia: Episode 10/11 Power Rankings

T'was the night before Thanksgiving and Survivor reminded us why we should be so thankful this show is still strong after 31 seasons! Not only did we get a double episode, we got two epic episodes. We watched an immunity idol get played. We watched an advantage get played. And we saw the Golden Boy get a huge pass. After Ciera and Stephen were voted off, the power rankings take a massive spin at the top.

#1) Spencer (3)



Spencer may not be winning much but after getting Stephen out, Spencer holds more power than everyone realizes. But if he realizes it, he needs to check his ego before he goes on a power trip. Spencer is a swinger this week. He can go with Jeremy, Tasha, and Kimmi or he can go with Abi, Kelley, Keith, and Joe. It all depends on who he wants to target. 

#2) Jeremy (4)



Jeremy lost his fishy. But his eyes are surely open to his awful situation. A tribal after using his first idol on his buddy, his buddy gets booted. While the likelihood of anyone realizing he has another idol is slim, Jeremy needs to figure out a way to win back Spencer. And that pitch needs to include the following: vote out Joe. Jeremy needs to keep an ear to all the action and be ready with that idol or he could be in trouble.

#3) Kelley (10)



Why is Kelley at the top of her alliance? Oh that's right, she found ANOTHER idol. Kelley is playing a smooth game by not only to manage to remain week after week but playing to win. Kelley has an ally in Spencer and in Joe and in Abi but also knows that she has to play to win. Be ready for her to cut someone to build up that resume. 

#4) Tasha (6)

Despite getting labeled as one, Tasha is the queen of the flip this season. She voted for Stephen despite him being saved by Jeremy. She went back to Stephen to split the vote between Joe and Abi. She clearly has a loyalty to Jeremy but she seems to be willing to float over to Spencer, who also is wishy-washy. But in a game of all-stars, this gets overlooked because we just want to see players play.

#5) Kimmi (4)

Kimmi found herself at the receiving end of some votes. And she was shocked. Kimmi knows that her time could be coming to an end if she doesn't make a move. And she needs to be the spearhead that lobbies for Joe. Everyone may be thinking it but she needs to rally the ladies to do it. 

#6) Abi-Maria (7)

Abi hasn't been doing much aside from some toilet humor. From following Joe and claiming she needed to relieve herself to calling Stephen Poopy Pants, Abi is becoming the queen of the soundbite. And that is not a way to win Survivor. If Abi survives much longer it's because she is the goat of the season. 

#7) Keith (5)

With Joe's boot inevitable, Keith has to know that he is on the chopping block. He can be a challenge treat if there are balls and he is generally liked. Keith has stuck to the plan but a second chance that does not make.

#8) Joe (9)

Joey Amazing got a free pass. The fact that the tribe saw Stephen as a bigger treat than Joe is a bit shocking to be honest. If he loses immunity again and he is not voted off then Joe deserves to win the game because the others are just plain stupid.

Survivor Cambodia: Episode 9 Power Rankings

What a whacky episode we had. Many people had mixed feelings over the episode that lead to a new idol find, a new advantage secured, and the loss of the original loser. With a double episode in the wings, the power is swiftly shifting in the age of voting blocs. 

#1) Jeremy (4)



To the viewers at home, we know how much power he has. Jeremy has two idols! But the players don't seem to realize this. He's very under the radar which will likely get him the win. As long as no one catches on, Jeremy is sitting pretty and will be able to swing the votes however he pleases. That is unless his number two, Stephen, doesn't hurt him with the advantage. 

#2) Stephen (10)



Fishy gets a Fishy for going for the advantage in front of everyone and beating poor Charlie Brown himself for it. Now that the extra vote has an extra layer where Stephen has the ability to steal a vote, he can destroy someone's game. He just needs to pull the trigger at the right moment. Preferably when he will have the numbers advantage. 

#3) Spencer (7)


Spencer leaps up to the top 3 because he is trusted by number 1 and 2. Don't think that he is the bottom of their trio though. As long as the damage is forced onto Jeremy and Stephen, Spencer has at least a 2 week shield. 

#4) Kimmi (1)

Kimmi is officially the last of the old school players. Shocker, right? I could see her seeking vengeance for the Wiglesworth boot but if she's smart, she'll keep it cool and remember it's just a game. If she goes out for blood, she will go out.

#5) Keith (2)

Mr. Stick to the Plan stuck to the plan and is probably shocked that the others didn't. Keith is harmless and that's a bad thing for everyone playing against him. But if Keith wants to win, he needs to do something asap. 

#6) Tasha (3)

Tasha had lost her trusted pal in Savage. Now Jeremy blindsided her. I wouldn't be shocked if she doesn't have trust issues for life. Tasha needs to regroup and figure out where a new allegiance can be formed. She is officially the strongest woman left and will be targeted for that. 

#7) Abi-Maria (6)

Abi almost beat Joey Amazing for immunity. I repeat, Abi almost beat Joe. Abi has kept her mouth shut and that's been great for her game. She's not a target in the witches coven trio but not beating Joe could backfire as people know she has the potential to win.

#8) Ciera (11)

Even though she wants to stir up trouble and make big moves, Ciera is still ahead of Kelley, and that could be due to the Bayon loyalty. She needs to figure out a way to have Kelley stay yet another week or she will be following right behind. 

#9) Joe (9)

Did you know Joe and Kelly Wiglesworth were super tight and had an alliance? Neither did I. Joe has won three immunities in a row and it's sad to say but if he doesn't win the rest of the way out, he is a goner. Should he win every immunity until the end, Joe hands down wins the game. 

#10) Kelley (5)

She is not afraid to play. And that is terrifying. Hence why she will be the target again and again. Kelley needs to keep in the numbers or win immunity to save her game. Otherwise Kelley should be leaving next.

Survivor Cambodia: Episode 8 Power Rankings

We asked for a power play and a veto play and we GOT it! Andrew Savage got blindsided when Kelley played her idol. With a big move out of the way and an idol back for the hunt, this next episode could be epic. 

#1) Kimmi (2)


How in the hell did Kimmi Kappenberg get this high? Well, Andrew is gone, the meats are ripe for the cutting and she has no enemies. Jeremy likes her so she'll be safe for a while. And with Jeremy now a stronger target, Kimmi is ready to rule.

#2) Keith (4)


Keith drove a tuc-tuc and he was so happy and animated. And that's about all Keith has done so far. Playing so far under the radar, Keith is safe for a bit as the prime meat fight it out.

#3) Tasha (6)



Tasha is in a bit of a pickle. Tasha is strong in the challenges but needs to play it off because the big guns are about to be targeted. Tasha could easily be passed off as a sacrifice for Jeremy and Joe. 

#4) Jeremy (1)

Jeremy is in trouble. Andrew is gone. No one really wants Joe to go, especially if he keeps winning immunity. If he doesn't win immunity, Jeremy must play his idol or he will get the Andrew axe. 

#5) Kelley (7)

Kelley made a power move by playing her idol and knocking out Andrew. The trouble is her safety net is gone. Will this make her a target or a brand new number? We'll see soon! 

#6) Abi-Maria (9)

Abi has been silent. And that's great. In her alliance with Kelley and Ciera, she's the one who hasn't had a target on her. Which is strange. But hey, keep on sassing people as they go and you have 0% chance of winning this game.

#7) Spencer (10)

Spencer found himself voting in the majority but he's still a minority. Spencer has to watch his back with Jeremy because he could be sacrificed as well if Joe keeps on winning. 

#8) Kelly (11)

Like Spencer, she's voting in the majority and she hasn't proven herself as a threat. But as Purple Kelly 2.0, she seems to have no chance of redeeming her loss. 

#9) Joe (3)

Joey Amazing is a target. Everyone was willing to turn on him had he not won immunity. Joe needs to find the newly hidden hidden immunity idol to survive if he loses. Joe and Kelley have a bond, which could be bad if she's continuing willing to make moves. 

#10) Stephen (5)

Stephen is plotting to get Joe out. And now everyone knows. Stephen could easily be a scapegoat with this next vote. But that would mean Jeremy loses another sacrifice.

#11) Ciera (12)

Ciera was spared when the tribe wanted to vote out Kelley. Kelley is dangerous and Ciera, by association, is equally dangerous. Ciera seems to be less likely to go with the flow at this point. She needs to play it cool or get immunity before she meets Savage at Panderosa.

Survivor Cambodia: Episode 7 Power Rankings

Chaos came to Cambodia and cost Kass her game. The merge caused an epic meltdown and a furious battle between former Brains tribe members Kass and Tasha. With Kass being booted and Ciera losing her closest ally, what will this next episode bring? And when will these idols be revealed! 

#1) Jeremy (1)


At this point, it's Jeremy's game to lose. He's got an idol. He's got the numbers. And he has his meat shields. What could go wrong for him?

#2) Kimmi (3)


Look at Kimmi doing well! I don't think anyone could have guessed this before the game began. Kimmi is making the fans discover why she deserved a second chance. Kimmi is working with Jeremy and making the dominating moves. Kimmi is not a threat and that's why she's in a good position. 

#3) Joe (6)


Joey Amazing was the swinger of the week. And the winner of the week. After winning the first individual immunity, Joe has proven his strengths. Should he have won? Well that's up for debate. He'd have a target on him regardless. It's likely he'll try for an immunity run which puts him this high. But that could come back to bite him.

#4) Keith (4)

Keith did not do well with balls. But Keith has allies. With so many meaty men in front of him, Keith will be forgotten, yet again.

#5) Stephen (7)

Stephen is a lover of poetry. He recited a poem most likely because he is itching to actually make a big move. And Stephen needs to do something soon before he implodes. With Jeremy and Kimmi doing well, Stephen is sitting pretty. Unless he makes a big turn. Which he will need to do if he wants to win.

#6) Tasha (2)

Poor Tasha. Fighting with Kass, again. We saw her get rattled and that shows everyone else her vulnerability. Right now Tasha is in between a primary alliance with Jeremy and Savage, but until she needs to pick a side, Tasha needs to just take a breath.

#7) Kelley (8)

Kelley is defying the odds. She hasn't needed that idol and has benefitted from all of the tribe swaps and merges. She decided not to go with Kass and Ciera which was a very smart move on her part. 

#8) Andrew (10)

Andrew gets angry when he doesn't get his way. Is Andrew the player he is revered as? Likely not. If Andrew keeps up his act, he will be gone soon.

#9) Spencer (11)

Spencer was the other swinger but he is still in the minority when it comes to original tribal lines. Spencer needs to sneak his way through the smoke of the Tasha and Kass blow up and into the arms of Jeremy. 

#10) Abi-Maria (9)

Abi is a goat. Why she's still here? Who really knows. Abi will be going far at this point, as long as she doesn't piss people off. Play invisible and she's fine. 

#11) Kelly (12)

Poor Kelly. She's out of her element. She has to hope these blowups continue so she can fly under the radar. 

#12) Ciera (5)

Ciera has written herself out of the game. Siding with Kalm Kass was a strong move. Continuing to side with Khoas Kass is not. And what will be the aftermath of her random Andrew vote? Hopefully we'll find out soon!

Survivor Cambodia: Episode 6 Power Rankings

Last episode not only was one of the craziest, it completely shook up this week's Power Rankings. With Terry being taken out of the game and Woo blindsided by a power move that aligned Kass and Spencer, we're about to head into a merge that is going to be dramatic. Just who are people aligned with will be revealed as everyone seems to have ties with someone that contradicts someone in their alliance. 

#1 Jeremy (1)


Jeremy has the idol and has the dominating alliance when Bayon comes back together. With Kimmi and Stephen in his pocket and Andrew and Joe on the chopping block before him, Jeremy is still playing the game better than anyone else at this point. 

#2 Kimmi (4) 


Kimmi is playing a game where she's playing under the radar yet has her hand in a solid alliance and is able to make moves. Kimmi is so surprising at this point that it would make no sense to vote her out at this point. She's a number and not a threat. 

#3 Ciera (8)



Ciera has been invisible. Until now. She made a power move when Savage tried to throw her under the bus as a pawn. While Andrew should have been her target but she knew that Abi would only vote out Woo. Ciera has Kass as a shield at this point and has the Ta Keo 5 alliance to fall back on. Ciera will now need to play hard until the end. 

#4 Keith (5)

Keith got to play with balls! And he did it well! This merge is great for Keith because he has so many other men that are targets ahead of him. At this point, he's playing the game of being a number. And that's a strategy. If he wants to win, he'll need to win an immunity or two that results in a big player being booted.

#5 Tasha (2)

Tasha and Andrew were tight but now that she seemingly lost Abi and Woo, her numbers are dwindling. Tasha will need to move over to Jeremy completely if she wants to remain in the game. We all know there will be a battle of the beasts between her and Kelly when it comes to immunity showdowns where pride could be her downfall. 

#6 Joe (6)

Joe is getting targeted by Stephen! Stephen knows what's up. Unfortunately, Joey Amazing has numbers and Jeremy knows he needs him as a shield. Where Joe's downfall could come in the form of multiple alliances and an immediate loss could destroy his swing position.

#7 Stephen (16)

Stephen cried and it was a moment of hubris. And a moment of hilarity. Stephen seems to be in Jeremy's good faith at this point and can fall behind the big immunity players. He's ready to make a move, he just needs the people to do so.

#8 Kelley (12)

Kelley may not have original Ta Keo numbers but she seems to have the Ta Keo 5 to help her along. And that immunity idol. She'll likely be used as a number and play that idol when the time is right. 

#9 Abi-Maria (10)

Abi has more power than everyone realizes. Savage would have gone if Ciera wasn't worried about Abi freaking out it wasn't Woo. While you could say it didn't matter, keeping Andrew could likely be a bad move. Now that Khoas Kass is back, she can deflect the problems over to her. 

#10 Andrew (3)

Andrew got caught in the tornado that is Khoas Kass. And he's pissed! Andrew is an immediate target. Even if Bayon comes together, picking off Spencer, Kelly, Kelley, and Abi first will likely not happen. Andrew and Kass will likely lock horns which will cause riffs. 

#11 Spencer (9)

Spencer aligned with Kass for a vote. Tasha will not take that too kindly. Where Spencer falls when the tribes come together is very much up in the air. Spencer better get ready to win immunity after immunity! 

#12 Kelly (14)

Kelly seems to be completely lost at this point. She's another one who could last a little longer to be a number but her game is hopeless at this point. 

#13 Kass (7)

Kalm Kass didn't make waves. But Khoas Kass was unleashed and it will absolutely destroy her game. Spencer's classic "Kass: 0% chance of winning this game" is back in action. It will be the battle of attorneys as Kass and Andrew are going to be at odds and the focal point of the merge. And now that everyone knows Kass is eager to flip, they will not want to take a chance. At all.
