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.
