Another week has passed, and we got another great episode of Survivor. Corinne was the victim this week, but she made sure to try a last ditch effort to stay in the game that seemed rather brilliant considering the desperate situation she was in. The mastermind behind the plan was actually Bob who made another fake idol with a very different purpose this time around. Instead of humiliating the next jury member, Bob used the idol to "scare" the solid Fang alliance into break apart. His plan was to make sure either him or Corinne wins individual immunity (which he did). Then, he would tell Kenny that he found the mysterious idol that Marcus threw in the ocean and was giving it to Corinne and blindsiding Matty. The potential consequence of this would be Kenny and Crystal hopping into an alliance with them to get rid of Matty instead of Corinne.
The plan was great, but Kenny did something that crashed all of Corinne's hopes of staying in the game. He told Crystal to still vote against Corinne forcing her to play the idol, and blindsiding a big threat (Matty) in one move. Sinec Corinne didn't really have an idol, Crystal's insurance vote ended up costing her the game. This move may have hurt Kenny more than anyone, and it'll be interesting to see next week how his fellow alliance members view his voting off one of their own.
6. Bob
Bob is standing on Shaky ground right now. He is all alone without any alliance members to turn to. His plan with the fake idol was great, but it seems to have come too late in the game. His only hope at this point is to win all of the remaining immunity challenges. If he can do this, and take two very hated Fang members to the end, his old alliance members would more than likely vote for him. So, he just has to work his butt off winning challenges or he will be the next to go.
5. Matty
This episode showed that there is concern on the tribe with Matty staying in the game. Matty is a huge threat for winning challenges. Bob is really his only competition when it comes to strength in a challenge. Seeing how eager Kenny and Crystal were in blindsiding him shows that there is some thinking in the tribe of getting rid of him. He needs to win challenges as well or else he won't make it to the finals.
4. Kenny
Kenny is a lot lower this week than last week because I think he made a big blunder this week. By voting for Matty, his alliance is going to be suspicious of his loyalty. When approaching the finals, the remaining contestants won't want to keep around someone they can't trust. Kenny needs to explain himself in such a way that the others forgive him and he regains his position in the game.
3. Crystal
Crystal was smart by being the one to still vote for Corinne, so she won't be in as much trouble as Kenny, but she still considered switching alliances, which may be viewed as shady by the rest of the tribemates. Crystal is also very weak and not likely to win anymore challenges, so she needs to make sure she is part of the majority alliance.
2. Susie
Susie is playing smart by staying in the background and not making waves. There are a lot of people that don't like her on the Jury and she isn't considered one of the smartest strategizers, so her chances of winning aren't great, but I think she will make the finals just by being non-threatening.
1. Sugar
Sugar has played a very interesting game. Right now not only is she one of the main leaders in her alliance, but she also has a hidden immunity idol in her pocket. She seems to have a lot of say in her alliance and I have a feeling she'll be there in the finals as well. The jury hates her (especially Randy and Corinne) so it might be difficult to get votes, but maybe she'll win by default by being against weaker competitors. I think the winner is going to come down to who is the lesser evil, so she'll have to try to satisfy this demand.
