Survivor Cambodia: Episode 3 Power Rankings

To say Survivor is not about luck would not be the craziest thing ever. Luck was certainly on many people's sides after the tribe expansions. Going from two to three tribes, it became a numbers game. But some people were able to utilize the numbers and go from the bottom to the top. And they have been rewarded. 

#1 Jeremy (3)


Jeremy's fate in the game could not have been better. Not only did he fall into the numbers on the new Bayon tribe, he has all the power. He controls the tribe. After finding the immunity idol, Jeremy will be in charge of his own destiny until the next twist. With Spencer and Stephen being the only other two men on Bayon, Jeremy has the macho sway. While Spencer and Kelly may be in the minority based on original tribal lines, look at Jeremy targeting Stephen as the strategic threat. 


#2 Tasha (11)


Tasha could easily be number 1 after he incredible performance but she has the goat known as Abi still to deal with. Tasha was on the bottom of the new Angkor and the likely pick to go but figured out a way to deflect all the attention onto Jeff, Abi, and Peih Gee, with Peih Gee getting the short end of the stick. Tasha got foxy and found her confidence in her second chance. Where the next vote falls will be telling and Tasha must figure out a way to woo Woo before Jeff Varner pulls a Varner and gets the control once again. 

#3 Joe (5)



Joey Amazing is lucky. He is the dominant man on the new Ta Keo. Joe has a trip to the merge virtually locked up with his solid tribe. The only thing that could ruin his chances at the next stage of the game is an unlikely trip to Tribal Council. 

#4 Andrew (7)

Andrew could easily have been a target this week if Peih Gee stayed but he and Tasha got lucky. Andrew has Jeff to deal with now. Will their pregame alliance be utilized or has the heat of the game made them newfound bitter enemies. Andrew needs to make sure he doesn't get Varnered.

#5 Kimmi (8)

The next set of castaways have done very little in the game thus far. Because of that, they are in prime position. Luck was on Kimmi's side when she found herself in the numbers on the new Bayon. Kimmi seems to be pretty well liked and cannot be seen as a threat at this point in the game. 

#6 Keith (14)

Keith is someone who likes familiarity and with the loss of Jeremy from his tribe, he can now latch on to Kelley Wentworth. Keith still hasn't found a ball challenge to play but with Joe and Terry carrying him around, Keith has nothing to be worried about. Perhaps just loosing too much saliva from spitting. 

#7 Monica (15)

The Survivor universe went crazy last week when Monica finally spoke in a confessional! Sadly the confessional meant nothing and said little about her game. Monica is playing a very quiet game, making fans question how she even got on. Monica needs to do something because a Bayon loss and a mindset of strength, Monica is easily a target. 

#8 Kass (12)

How has Kass lasted this long! She got lucky again and found herself on the strongest post expansion tribe. Kass has not made enemies and has yet to get khaotic. But like Hurricane Abi, you have to predict a tornado is brewing somewhere because this game play will not get Kass the million dollar prize.

#9 Ciera (16)

Ciera jumps up as well mostly because she has done nothing besides hand Jeff Probst the idol at the challenge. Ciera is on the bottom of the Ta Keo challenge depth chart so an unlikely loss could mean an early boot. But like Kass, Ciera needs to do something fast. 

#10 Kelley (2)

Poor Kelley. She was sitting pretty and then she fell down to the bottom of the tribal lines at the new Ta Keo. But Kelley is not afraid to throw Terry under the bus to save herself. If that strategy needs to be played, Kelley has bought herself two tribal councils as she has her idol to play if Terry goes before her. But just because of the numbers, Kelley needs to prove her worth. 

#11 Spencer (13)

Spencer bonded with Jeremy. We know Jeremy wants to play with the Alphas. So why is Spencer not higher? Because of the numbers. Plain and simple. Spencer needed a tribe swap or he was the next person gone. He got it so luck is on his side. But Spencer will need to deflect any potential target off of him and onto the weaker players. If he turns on Kelly Wiglesworth for a number, it will come back to haunt him later in this game. Social game is all about trust. You can't trust someone who is ready to turn on their own.

#12 Abi-Maria (18)

It's a miracle! Abi is no longer a bottom dweller! Abi should not have gone home over Peih Gee but somehow the Brazilian devil managed to defy the odds yet again. How she has lasted this long is beyond me. But with Tasha and Andrew needing her and Abi knowing she needs to deflect all the focus onto Jeff, we may be seeing Abi a little bit longer. 

#13 Terry (4)

Terry is on the bottom of the numbers on the new Ta Keo and even his Ta Keo pal Kelley is ready to help him start packing for a trip home. After being pushed under the bus, Terry needs to become aware of the possibility of going home if the super strong Ta Keo loses. 

#14 Woo (6)

Woo is always shocked. He voted to keep Peih Gee only to find he was the only one to do so. He continues to not know any plan and at this point, that's detrimental. Woo needs to sharpen his skills immediately before it's too late. 

#15 Jeff (1)

Jeff Varner is the greatest character of the season. He should have complete control of the game. But one bonehead whisper at the end of the challenge caused Tasha to go off and chaos to ensue. With Peih Gee gone and Abi all over the place, Jeff needs to figure out how to get back to the top. If he cannot control Abi's mind, he will be out of here.

#16 Kelly (10)

The original loser did not get lucky in her first ever tribe swap. She has Spencer but it's likely he'll be selected to stay over her. The only thing she can hope for is that Jeremy truly wants to play with the strongest players or for the sake of numbers, she will be gone if Bayon loses. 

#17 Stephen (17)

Stephen is at the bottom because Jeremy is at the top. They may be aligned by tribal lines but they have completely opposite gameplans. Had Jeremy told the rest of the tribe about the idol, things could be different but by keeping it to himself, something tells me that Jeremy has a plan to defy the tribal lines and Stephen is a cog in his all alpha game.
