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.
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.
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.
