Survivor Kaoh Rong Episode 9: Power Rankings

An extra three days of not going to Tribal can send anyone into a tizzy! While we'll never know if Neal would have actually been voted had he not been medivaced, the lack of Tribal caused chaos at camp and the middle man was voted out after a female alliance formed. And this caused the top to tumble to the bottom. Can't wait to see the aftermath and how it plays out! 

#1) Julia (4)

She is harmless! Being saved in the swapped tribe has placed her in a perfect position. While the preview may say otherwise, it would be pointless to remove Julia and even up the male/female numbers despite Joe likely to vote with the women. Julia is sweet and unassuming. 

#2) Michele (5)

Michele has been a strong narrator this entire season. And that's always a good sign. But Michele has seemingly been more of a target than Julia numerous times and she doesn't have the bond with the Brawn that Julia has. Should you have them in the finals together, that's two votes for Julia and zero for Michele. But right now, Michele is more of a mastermind and thus more of a target.

#3) Cydney (3)

We rarely see a power move at this moment in the game by a storm was a brewing and Cydney came a striking. This was a great move to prove her worth but in a game of numbers, Cydney still doesn't have a number two. If the guys take her back, she's the bottom of their trio. If she stays with the women, they are broken up as Michele and Julia and Aubry and Debbie. Cydney could certainly be a swing vote free agent, but how does that read to a jury?

#4) Aubry (9)

It is utterly fascinating how Aubry's position in this game fluctuates. One week you think she's about to go home, the next she's near the top. What Aubry needs to check is her emotions. She's proven that she is an emotional player, both in front of people and singularly to the camera. Aubry has a decent pulse on the action but needs to find a way to rise to the top. And fast. 

#5) Debbie (10)

Jason and Scot will certainly be gunning for a woman this vote and if an idol gets played, Debbie seems like a perfect target. Debbie is grating and thinks her placement is much better than it is. Debbie got lucky. I fear luck will dry out soon.

#6) Joe (9)

We are all waiting for Joe to do something. And I think we're going to keep waiting. Nothing much to say, sadly.

#7) Tai (6)

Tai is America's Sweetheart and thus we forgive his giant blunder which will come back to haunt him. First he reveals the information about a Super Idol at Tribal. He tries to recover by saying that's the rumor but no one buys it. To their knowledge, there has never been said "Super Idol" before so if these players are smart, they must know that Tai either has something in his possession or knows someone who does. Tai is in big trouble, but thankfully he has two buffers. The other worrisome moment is his vote for Jason. What exactly did that mean?

#8) Scot (2)

You could swap Scot for Jason in the bottom two but I put Scot ahead of Jason only because he does have more of a chance to gain sympathy from Tai and Julia due to previous relationship. We know from the previews that Scot and Jason are about to cause more chaos, but Jason is the brains of the operation. 

#9) Jason (1)

Turning yourself into enemy number one will not win you the game. I think Jason's chances of winning are officially over. But he can easily find himself as the goat to go far. That is if he can emotionally manipulate everyone into taking him. Jason is on the path of creating a legacy for himself in the game of Survivor. I don't think it's going to be a good one though.
