Quick Note: We’re going to be bringing you all kinds of “Survivor” fun this season including episode recaps, exit interviews, and Power Rankings with Josh Canfield and Reed Kelly. Be sure to follow me on Twitter (@gordonholmes) for up-to-the-minute news and info.

The Rules: Each week our three combatants will create separate power rankings. The ranking of the person who is voted out of the next episode will determine the number of points the three players will earn. For example, if Tyler is voted out this week, Josh and Reed will each receive one point and Gordon will receive eleven points. At the end of the season, the person with the most points will be named the “Survivor: Worlds Apart” Power Rankings Challenge Champion.
Last Week: Josh had Nina in spot 15, Reed had her in spot 14, and Gordon had her in spot 16. So, the current score is Team Josh 25, Team Reed 27, and Team Gordon 30.

| 1. Tyler: I’m putting Tyler on top because he and Carolyn were the ones who had the confessionals about Shirin being “annoying and obtrusive as a howler monkey”, and Max and Joaquin were not given screen time on the matter. He is still in the best spot with every member of his tribe, including the outsider Joaq, as Tyler calls him. #Joaq+Tyler |
1. Tyler: We see him heavily involved in the goings-on within the tribe. He’s in an alliance, he’s supervising an idol hunt, and he’s narrating for us. I feel he’s in a pretty good place as of now. |
1. Carolyn: OK, in three-tribe seasons there’s always a swap after the fourth Tribal. (See: “All-Stars,” “Philippines,” and “Cagayan.”) And ranking swaps IS THE WORST. Carolyn, you’re this high because you’re the only person we’re sure has an idol. |
 |
|
 |
| 2. Joe: Even though he made the wrong decision about the strategy of the challenge, his tribe didn’t blame him or even care, all they did was try and make him feel good. This says a lot about Joe, everyone wants to be on his good side. He is shown providing for the NC’s while others are out surfing. He is controlling this tribe right now, no doubt. #MalcolmOzzyKiminone |
2. Carolyn: Feels nestled into numbers on her tribe and has an immunity idol. She has a bit of a buffer between her and Ponderosa, but she needs to get out and idol hunt with the rest of them! |
2. Hali: It drives me insane when people get on me for having someone like Hali so high in the rankings. I’m not saying she’s going to win, I’m saying she is sooper safe this week. She ain’t goin’ nowhere. |
|
|
 |
| 3. Hali: I think Hali has Jenn beat in the tight 3 alliance simply because I could see Hali maneuvering into another secret alliance once a swap or merge happens. Other tribe members will want to approach her and get her in their numbers. She will have options throughout this game. #surferbabe |
3. Joe: Catching lizards is no easy feat and of course he knows ASL! What can this man not do? He benched Nina, they lost, and it wasn’t his fault in their eyes. He’s doing fine right now. |
3. Jenn: See Hali. |
 |
 |
 |
| 4. Rodney: Rodney let too much of himself show in this last episode, and that’s not a good thing. He’s short-tempered, arrogant, and has a hard time seeing other people’s POV. But that being said, I don’t think this hurt his game play because it was made clear that the people he was frustrated with are the two who are at the bottom of the tribe. The girls of Blue Collar are on #TeamRodney at this point. |
4. Max: Not a ton from our neighborhood “Survivor” expert this week, though I know that doesn’t mean he’s not up to things. Keep on truckin, sir. |
4. Sierra: Things are getting ugly over at Maison Blue. Sierra and Kelly are the only ones who’ve managed to stay out of it. That’s a good place to be. |
|
|
|
| 5. Max: We didn’t hear or see a lot from Max this week, but I think it’s safe to say that he is in a good position. I’d put him right in the center of the pecking order of his tribe and honestly, that is the best place to be pre-merge. Sometimes those who are too visible in the beginning have the biggest targets on their back come merge (ex. the writer of this post). #middleground |
5. Sierra: Feels the way Lindsey does about things, has her back, but primarily lets Lindsey do the dirty work in confronting Mike. I like it. It’s smart. |
5. Max: Not much from Max last week. But that’s probably not a bad thing. He’d better hope his pre-challenge quips didn’t rub anyone the wrong way if there’s a swap. |
|
 |
 |
| 6. Sierra: The justification of putting Sierra this high is that she is the less outspoken between her and Lindsey, so if it came down to one of them going home, the focus would be on Lindsey. These two girls are clearly tight with Rodney, and most likely with Kelly in their numbers, they are just fine. #justfine |
6. Kelly: What is it with us Kellys getting such quiet edits?? lol. I do enjoy her when her confessionals get airtime. I like how she stands back and lets others implode; solid gameplay happening. |
6. Shirin: What does it tell me that Carolyn didn’t go on the idol hunt? Well, Shirin and Max aren’t stupid. They’d notice her not hunting. So, she must’ve told them she has it. However, Shirin needling Joaquin might cause her trouble if Joaq finds some buddies after a swap. |
 |
|
|
| 7. Lindsey: She has a mouth on her, that’s for sure, and while it makes great TV, I’m not so sure that her strong opinions will keep on being enjoyable to the people around her. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with her once a tribe swap happens. #truckermouth |
7. Hali: Quite frankly I have no idea how these girls had the energy to surf, but then again it’s only day seven. Her relationships with the majority on her tribe can take her far in this game. |
7. Kelly: You said something last week! Hooray! Someone’s got to make sense of the terrible gameplay going on at Blue Collar Beach. |
|
|
|
| 8. Carolyn: You weren’t out looking for the idol with your entire tribe?!!! What?!! How do you not realize that by staying back at the camp it looks like you are comfortable? She should have been out searching with everyone else, then there would be no reason to suspect she has the idol. #rookiemistake |
8. Jenn: Has a good relationship with Hali and Joe, and let’s face it, relationships are everything in this game. A threat to her would be a tribe swap. Surfing anyone?? |
8. Rodney: I was worried that you were the only one sparring with Mike, but apparently that isn’t the case. Lindsey stepped up in a big way during her little fire diatribe. If we’ve got a Rodney/Lindsey/Sierra/Kelly alliance, that’s a foursome that could go a long way. |
|
|
|
| 9. Jenn: Not sure about Jenn right now. She’s obviously fine for another treehouse Tribal if her team keeps their losing steak, but I worry about her future in the game. She needs to hang on for dear life to Joe and Hali and find some good allies once the swap/merge takes place. #surferbabe2 |
9. Lindsey: Is the mouthpiece for her tribe’s discontent. This usually inkles a person feels comfortable enough to speak for the majority, that is if the situation doesn’t turn on them before they realize it. |
9. Lindsey: Oh…Lindsey. The…uh…the fire thing… It’s not cool to make fun of someone’s religion. That’s the kind of thing that could come back to bite you. |
|
|
 |
| 10. Kelly: The #PurpleKelly edit right now for sure. Still don’t know enough about her and her dynamics within the tribe to accurately assess her situation. What I do think is that she is not on the bottom. |
10. Shirin: I’m getting a bit nervous for her as she seems to be getting on her tribe’s nerves. Behavior at camp can play a huge part in how long you stick around in this game. |
10. Dan: I have friends I’ve known for 20 years whose mothers I’m comfortable calling “(Expletive Deleted).” Would I say that to someone like Rodney after knowing him for a week? Probably not. Other than that, kudos to you for working to fix your disastrous first couple of days. |
 |
|
|
| 11. Mike: Mike this is “Survivor” not your worksite. It’s a social experiment, and if you have watched any of this show before you know that you can’t boss people around or tell them how they are supposed to be playing this game. If you want to work hard, do it, but don’t push that on anyone else. Calm down, and you’ll be fine, keep up the captain role, and torch snuff. #Dale |
11. Mike: Eek. I get nervous for him with his complete lack of self-awareness. You’re never going to “win” in those confrontations with tribe-mates. Just smile and agree. |
11. Tyler: Everyone thinks Tyler is the man over at White Collar. I don’t believe it. I think there’s still a very solid Carolyn/Shirin/Max alliance and if Joaquin went out next, Tyler would be right after him. |
 |
|
|
| 12. Joaquin: Everyone, including him, keeps saying that he is on the outs of his tribe, but from this episode it seemed as if Shirin was on the bottom. Will this hold up? Not sure, but he’s getting close to Tyler which is smart, and he’s essential in helping the WCs win challenges, I’d keep him around. #leaningout |
12. Rodney: His hot-headedness will be his undoing in this game. Chill out, bro. He needs to deescalate and disengage, but I don’t think he can help himself. |
12. Joe: What?! Why is golden Joe so low? Because I only have one rule I stick to during swaps; the dominant challenge competitor in the tribe that is down numbers is always in danger. Now, this is less of an issue with three tribes, but I’m not risking it. Joe is in big trouble if there’s a swap. |
|
|
|
| 13. Shirin: I was hoping that Shirin’s quirkiness would help her in this game, but it’s gone the other way and her tribe just seems annoyed by her. Not a good sign when your alliance members are saying that you would be next to go. She needs to go invisible for a little bit so that the attention can go back on Joaquin. #monkeysex |
13. Dan: Treading water in his tribe, just trying to stay afloat. His biggest savior is other people’s ridiculousness drawing the focus off of his awkwardness and rough edges. |
13. Mike: I blame myself. When Mike and I sat down before the game started I should have looked him in the eye and said, “Don’t ask people to vote you out.” Maybe a new tribe will give Mike a chance to reset. |
|
 |
|
| 14. Dan: He’s desperately trying to fit in, but he doesn’t. If he wouldn’t try so hard he could easily get the target on Mike and off of himself. I don’t think he has the self-awareness to do this. #keepquiet |
14. Will: Looks like he’s really working to show his allegiance to his tribe, but he comes across as a shifty character to them and they’re uneasy … rightfully so. |
14. Joaquin: Remember when Joaquin wanted to keep So because she was better at challenges? How many challenges has White Collar lost since that Tribal? Anywho, Joaq needs a tribe swap in the worst way. |
|
|
|
| 15. Will: I wouldn’t doubt the No Collars losing immunity again, once you’re on a losing streak it’s hard to stop unless someone “throws” a challenge (ex. the writer of this post’s tribe). He is outside the numbers and it’s his own fault for when he voted out Vince instead of Jenn. #fourthout |
15. Joaquin: Tension rise between he and Shirin. He’s hunting like crazy for the immunity idol and doesn’t care who knows it. This wreaks of desperation and isolation, two very unwanted things in this game. |
15. Will: Do-or-die time for you, buddy. If No Collar loses the next challenge, you’re done. If they win and there’s a swap, you’ll have plenty of room to maneuver. |
