Survivor Cambodia: Episode 4 Power Rankings

Angkor is not doing well. Things are just not turning out in their favor. And players who found themselves in good positions are quickly finding that day by day, their place in the Survivor food chain can change. Jeff Varner, possibly the most vibrant player this season, found himself on the bottom of the totem pole after seemingly having much control. And look at Abi just creeping on up! Warning kids, if she makes the merge, unless she pulls another meltdown, you want to take her to the end. She may have no outright strategy but being yourself is a viable strategy! It's working in her favor! There weren't any power moves in episode 4 but there may have been some foreshadowing that altered the power rankings

#1 Jeremy (1)


Jeremy is in prime position right now. Sure, he came in last in the reward challenge losing to Savage and Dietz but he has the idol. He's in good favor with his tribe and seems to be in control. As long a nothing crazy happens, Jeremy should be heading this power ranking for a long time to come. 

#2 Tasha (2)


With Jeff unable to save himself, Tasha has become the Abi whisperer. This is either a good thing or a bad thing. As we learned with Jeff, loyal she may be in her heart, she wants to play this game. But if Tasha turns on her, Abi will likely say she's "dead to me". Tasha and Andrew have a unique challenge on their hands should they attend tribal council again. Turn on Abi or vote out Woo? 

#3 Andrew (4)


Winning the hero challenge was not only big for Angkor, it was big for Andrew's ego. Not only did he beat two athletic men, he came from behind and won. Had Joey Amazing been out there, this could have been a whole different story. Andrew and Tasha have some mighty fine control right now but he needs to charm Abi as well. 

#4 Kimmi (5)

Kimmi is doing everything right! She's silent! Sure, the preview for the next episode shows some heat, but Kimmi is a non-factor in this game and it is working in her advantage. Keep it up Kappenberg! 

#5 Keith (6)

Like Kimmi, Keith is playing a very silent game. It looks like Keith may get to play with some balls soon so his worth will be tested. Keith is turning into a threat as he is virtually harmless the longer he sits. 

#6 Joe (3)

The worst thing for Joe was letting Terry play the reward challenge. Even though Terry didn't win, Joe was not the go-to player. Terry still won something for the tribe and as the top dog, Joe lost some alpha credibility. That being said, it could be a blessing as the target has shrunk. 

#7 Kass (8)

Boy that edit was looking like Kass was stirring up some Khoas. But alas, she was making a birthday present for Kelley. How sweet. But the big question is, WHERE IS KHOAS KASS! The show is in no short supply of villains (hi Abi) but when will we get a showdown where Kass goes bonkers? That's really the only reason why we wanted to see her again, right? This isn't Redemption Island. 

#8 Ciera (9)

Ciera is a non-threat right now. But she hasn't had any reason to worry. And that's why she's still here. One Ta Keo loss and she should be scrambling. 

#9 Spencer (11)

Spencer is in with Jeremy. That's HUGE. Jeremy likes Spencer more than Stephen it seems. With his target shrinking, Spencer should have no problems working his way out of trouble if it should come. He just needs to be sure if he has to turn on Wiglesworth, he does it honorably so the rest of the original Ta Keo understands. 

#10 Abi-Maria (12)

Creepin' on up! Abi has not changed an ounce of her gameplay. And clearly that doesn't matter. Keeping Abi around makes everyone have a buffer, should they need it. It's an easy vote out and an easy number, if she trusts you. The problem is that it's getting terribly close to the merge and a post-merge Abi is a disaster. The targets automatically go to the strong players and if she latches on to the right person, she will make it to the end. Tasha and Andrew may regret the Peih Gee and Jeff votes soon.

#11 Terry (13)

Terry came in second to Andrew becoming #2 in the Old School Old Guy Showdown. Poor Terry. But Terry was allowed to compete over Joey Amazing. And that's saying something. While there could easily be strategy involved (he loses, he goes), Terry is proving his worth if the numbers don't fall on his side. But watch out for Wentworth's idol! 

#12 Kelley (10)

Kelley has an idol. And a birthday present. Kelley did what we all did and expected the worst in Kass. But I think she learned a valuable lesson: in the game of Survivor, expect the unexpected. Or is that Big Brother? Regardless, her idol and her present, and maybe Keith Nale, is all she has right now. And that's a scary prospect. 

#13 Monica (7)

MONICA PADILLA SPOKE WORDS! And they may have been some wonderful words of foreshadow. She wants to form an all-girls alliance. That seems to rarely work. By her speaking, it sets off alarms of why did she say what she did for this story. I worry for Monica because if she makes a move like this with the tribe she has, if Jeremy catches wind, he will slice and dice her. 

#14 Kelly (16)

Poor Kelly. She just wants to play a re-do of Borneo. The game has evolved my friend. Kelly is certainly the strongest woman on Bayon but numbers may be crucial as the merge approaches. It would be a shame to see her go before the merge but she hasn't really proven why she's back just yet. 

#15 Woo (14)

If Woo learned anything from his past adventure it was how to speak up for himself. And that may have saved him and given him three more days. Woo must rely on Tasha if Angkor goes to tribal again. The vote is virtually between Woo and Abi, neither of which are good for the merge. With the likelihood of Woo and Abi teaming up being never gonna happen, Woo has to trust that his Cagayan pal will help him. 

#16 Stephen (17)

I'm just so skeptical of Stephen's place in this game. His edit has been far from favorable. Unless we're not seeing something Stephen will be gone soon.
