Survivor Koah Rong: Episode 14 Power Rankings

This season went by so fast! Can you believe it! It's widely speculated that tonight someone will be blindsided. And by someone, it's likely us. Will it be a final 2 or final 3? And if it is a final 3 what are the three tribals mentioned in the preview promo? Here is the final power rankings of the season. This is how it shakes up at the START of the episode. The immunity challenge will likely destroy these placements all depending on who wins. 

#1) Cydney (4)

Cydney finally gets the top spot. It's incredibly likely that had Joe not been medivaced she would have been out at 5. But she was saved. It was a perfect situation for her. Cydney is a likely immunity winner which should get her to the final tribal. But if it doesn't, she could be a target. 

#2) Michele (3)

Michele has skated her way to the end. Her journey has been interesting. She's sat pretty for a while. She found herself on the bottom but survived. She has had an immense amount of luck on her side. But does she have a resume that will give her the ultimate prize? Michele will be in the finals. But winning will be near impossible. 

#3) Aubry (1)

Aubry lost her extra vote in Joe. And that is detrimental. Everyone knew Aubry was a target and now she is expendable without the numbers on her side. Aubry has a great resume and a brilliant story to share should she make the final tribal council. But if the other three are smart, they will know that she is the one to beat. 

#4) Tai (5)

Tai can win. Why? Because he is an overall great guy, he did what he needed to do to get here, and because he has Mark the chicken. Tai needs to pray that should he make the final tribal council that the jury isn't bitter. If the jury is bitter, he has a few votes already against him.

We're down to the final five! I mean, final six. Joe's still here. Poor Joe. Has there ever been a more invisible character this late in the game? Last week's ouster of my winner pick was hard to swallow but it sets up some potential paths of victory.

#1) Aubry (1)

The only way Aubry can miss out on the finals is if she (or Joe) get blindsided this week. If Tai were smart, which at this point is debatable, he would figure out a way to deflect attention on Aubry and play his idol to get her out. It would be a power move. But Aubry just has this control right now that sets her up for a victory.

#2) Joe (2)

Survivor truly is a game of numbers. And the second best option to hinder an Aubry win is to get out Joe. Joe is literally a plus one vote for Aubry. He is a puppy dog. If no one feels comfortable knocking out Aubry this week, Joe is the second best option. But again, it's not gonna happen. No one wants to risk a jury vote loss.

#3) Michele (4)

Michele made a move by ousting her bestie. Was it the best move for her to win? Yes. If she was in the final with Julia, Julia would have taken her votes. At this point, Michele has to do jury management. It's virtually a game between her and Aubry simply due to the people on the jury. 

#4) Cydney (3)

Cydney has been talking a big game but we haven't seen her initiate on it. Her resume shows she's assisted in some power shifts but never the ring leader. She's had ideas but never executed. This is the week for her to do one. If Cydney can figure out a way to eliminate Aubry, she could get some votes in the final Tribal Council. But she has to do something NOW.

#5) Jason (5)

Jason's position on the power rankings isn't one of inability to make it to the end. His position is here because he has no way of winning. Jason is a jury goat. He'll get some votes but he's destroyed too many people's games in the process. 

#6) Tai (7)

We've seen Tai do some wild things. We've seen Tai befriend Mark the chicken. And we're gonna see Tai either leave with the idol in his pocket and/or the extra vote not being used. Tai is a target.

Not only did we NOT see a Super Idol but we watched an Immunity Idol walk out of the game with Scot. If you didn't scream at your TV during this Tribal Council, you're not a true Survivor fan. This was a turning point episode simply because there was a power shift that lead to yet another power shift. Tai now has an advantage. Does this make him the ultimate target from both sides?

#1) Aubry (7)

At this point in time if Aubry doesn't win then this season is a shame. Like her or hate her, Aubry is PLAYING. Will she go down in history as an epic winner? Nah. But she's a strong competitor. 

#2) Joe (6)

Yes, that's right. Joe has placed in the top 3 of the Power Rankings. How? He's so invisible that he is a necessity of a vote and a huge jury goat. Joe will absolutely get a vote if he makes the final but is there anyone better to take to the end?

#3) Cydney (8)

Cydney was able to get the votes off of her for a week but with Aubry being such a player, Cydney just isn't calling the shots and isn't as strong. What can Cydney do to make it to the end? Make a big move. But I don't think that's going to happen.

#4) Michele (2)

Michele is bonded to Julia. Julia is viewed as shady. Michele is in a dangerous position because she either needs to cut ties with Julia or make a pack to the end. Michele's heart will finally be tested this week.

#5) Jason (4)

Jason thought he was being cool by giving Scot his idol. He trusted Tai so much that he thought the Super Idol plan was going to work. Will Jason take his frustration out on Tai or play the game as a solo player? I think Tai (and Mark) is on the chopping block.

#6) Julia (1)

Poor Julia. Her youth is catching up to her. Where does Julia go from here? She's not as big of a target simply because she doesn't have an advantage but she's viewed as shady and needs to go. But will she? Can she work her charm to save herself?

#7) Tai (3)

Tai saved himself from making one of the worst moves in the history of Survivor. But in turn, his days are numbered. He's the lone owner of a Hidden Immunity Idol and an advantage. His target is massive. Tai has to deflect attention on someone else and make some deals quickly.

Survivor Kaoh Rong: Episode 10 Power Rankings

Oh the Super Idol. That thing gets people paranoid! So paranoid Debbie was sacrificed due to the paranoid girls. This week may be the most uncertain in where the power lies. This list could EASILY be flipped completely. It all depends on the swing votes. And that is a powerful position.

#1) Julia (1)

Julia is young but not naive. She's got a pretty good personality with a decent pulse. She knows that towing the line in the middle is a good move. Yes, she likely would have been blindsided at Tribal but she pulled out a victory and now has the power to pick a side. Aubry may want to target her but knowing that Julia did side with her, booting her would not be a good move. Julia needs to make a decision and be smart with it. 

#2) Michele (2)

If Michele's voice doesn't bother you, you're a better person than me. But Michele is making a good name for herself in the game. Her voice is present in confessionals. And that's a sign of longevity. Or a sign of a next boot. There's no reason to get rid of Michele so I pick the former. 

#3) Tai (7)

Tai is the most complex personalities in Survivor history. He was lovable and now he's despicable. Now that the Bash Brothers gave him the idol to hold on to, will he give it back? Probably. Tai will have to make a big decision, again. If Tai flips, it will be the end of him. But there's no reason for him to, unless he feels bad. He should keep an eye on Mark the Chicken in case someone gets mad.

#4) Jason (9)

You may hate this guy and his actions but he's playing the game the way he thinks he needs to. I don't like what he's doing but he's positioned himself into goat position. I see him in the end. He has power.

#5) Scot (8)

Of the trio, Scot is the one without the power of the idol. With only eight left, Tai and Jason could easily get paranoid and hold onto their own idols leaving Scot in the dust. But if he and Jason continue their reign of psychological warfare, Scot will continue to instill fear and force more paranoia.

#6) Joe (6)

Joe is powerful in the sense that no one will change plans because he won't go along with it. That is HUGE. And no one is picking up on it. He may not be steering the ship but his stubbornness is playing a big part. If the girls are smart they would use him as the next sacrifice. I just don't see the boys wanting Joe to go just yet. Especially if there are challenge threats still present.

#7) Aubry (4)

Aubry could easily have flushed out the Super Idol, secured her numbers, and paved a path to the end. That journey is much messier at this point. Aubry cannot play into paranoia or she will be axed.

#8) Cydney (3)

Seeing as Cydney was the target of the Super Idol, she is on the bottom. She is a threat and a smart player. With her still present, the boys should be scared. I will see them targeting her again. And again. And again.
