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 Carolyn is voted out this week, Josh and Reed will each receive one point and Gordon will receive three 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 Joaquin in spot ten, Reed had him in spot twelve, and Gordon had him in spot nine. The current score is Team Josh 47, Team Reed 52, Team Gordon 53.

| 1. Carolyn: Still making great choices with who she sides with. I like her gameplay. She has the idol, and most likely won’t have to worry about being a target at the beginning of the merge. #smartplay |
1. Carolyn: Is ruling from the middle right now. She seems to have social sway within her tribes (both of them pre-merge) and an idol. She needs to use her relationship with Tyler to her advantage while not being outfoxed by him. |
1. Jenn: This merge is a total mess. On one side you’ve got four No Collars (Jenn, Joe, Will, and Hali) where Jenn is packing an idol… |
 |
|
 |
| 2. Sierra: Did Sierra make the right choice? I’m not sure, but we’ll find out as time goes by. She now has Joe and Mike’s trust, so she is doing really well. #alwaysoptions |
2. Jenn: Ms. Thing has an idol that (as far as we know) no one knows about yet, plus she’s got some strong relationships coming into the merge. Executed properly, these things add up to a lot of chips to play with in this game. |
2. Kelly: On the other you’ve got four Blue Collars (Kelly, Mike, Dan, and Sierra) where Sierra has just been brought back into the fold and Kelly is totally safe because she’s made ties to both sides. |
|
|
|
| 3. Jenn: Jenn is nestled safe in her No Collar alliance now and she has the idol, so as long as she doesn’t piss anyone off, other players will target Joe before her. #keepstrong |
3. Kelly: It’s nice when people are bending over backwards to help you win a challenge. I feel like this undercover cop has got lots of options right now. |
3. Carolyn: And in the middle you’ve got two White Collars (Carolyn and Tyler) where Carolyn is toting an idol of her own... |
|
 |
|
| 4. Kelly: Mike threw a challenge for her, and she must feel secure about that. She won’t be the first target at the merge regardless if she is in the numbers or not. #loyalty |
4. Hali: Not too concerned for Hali at the moment. She’s nestled herself under others who appear to be bigger threats to go after and her vote would be a useful one. If it ain’t broke… |
4. Sierra: And finally, you’ve got two floaters in Shirin and Rodney who could go either way. (Note: I needed to call out our floaters to complete my thought, but in no way do I think they’re safe enough to put this high.) |
|
|
|
| 5. Hali: Hali should be fine. No one feels threatened by her, and there will be no reason to take her out. #sittinpretty |
5. Sierra: Sometimes it’s smarter to stick with people you have the history with even though they get on your nerves; it may not be particularly fun, but it’s part of the game. |
5. Hali: OK, back to actual ranking. Gold star to Hali last week for reaching out to Shirin after Max’s elimination. Carolyn might not have thought much of shunning Shirin back then, but every vote is going to count this week. |
 |
 |
|
| 6. Will: What will become of Will? Who knows. Joe, Jenn, and Hali are still his tight alliance. He’s at the bottom, but at the merge, this isn’t a problem. #anotherchance |
6. Tyler: Politically he lost a bit of ground last episode. He now needs to reconnect with Carolyn and make sure to capitalize on the use of her idol while further cultivating the relationships around him. |
6. Will: Will made it to the merge where sucking at challenges can be a plus. He’s someone who needs to start thinking of an endgame now. I don’t know if there are many jurors who are going to be impressed with his game at this point. |
 |
|
|
| 7. Dan: The Blue Collar 5 are still around and I think Mike will want to use him for numbers. Dan won’t win this game, but he may stick around a little bit longer. Someone get this man a lotto ticket, because he is lucky in this game. #lucky1 |
7. Will: He’s no power player right now, but he does seem to at least be in a group of numbers from his No Collar days. They need to make it a majority or he could be in trouble. |
7. Dan: You’re a lucky man, Dan. If Joaquin and Rodney had a little more “Survivor” experience, I bet they could’ve offered you up to Sierra and she’d be on their side now. |
 |
 |
|
| 8. Joe: He worked his bun magic last week and stuck around, now he will be reunited with his No Collars. With his charm, he just may be able to gain the numbers he needs. Perhaps Carolyn, Shirin, and Tyler? #showusthepower |
8. Shirin: It’s going to be a little rough for Shirin right now. She needs to make her vote an asset quickly or her socially awkward moments may be the death of her game. |
8. Shirin: Nobody needed this merge more than Shirin. And now that it’s here she has a million options. If I’m her, I’d let people come to me, figure out who’s going to win the next vote, and then stick with them for a bit. |
 |
|
|
| 9. Mike: I worry a little bit for Mike this week. He could be the target of another alliance once the merge lines are drawn. He seems to be the obvious leader of Blue Collar, and as I found out last season, this often means you’re the one to go. #watchyourback |
9. Mike: Is at the head of a shaky alliance. His reconnection with Kelly feels like it is an important and necessary one for his game. |
9. Tyler: The silent assassin ended up on the wrong side of the vote last week. Fortunately, the merge will erase all of that. He’s not out of the woods though, as he’s still a physical threat. (Well, he is literally in the woods all season.) |
|
|
|
| 10. Shirin: She played being on the bottom perfectly. She realized there was a reason she was disliked and she calmed down. She may get a second life as the merge will open up new possibilities for her. #secondchances |
10. Dan: I don’t really see him having a ton of ability to jump social circles, so his best bet is to try to ride along with his alliance as they pick up some numbers. |
10. Joe: Joey Amazing dodged a bullet last week. And with his challenge prowess, he’s never not going to be a target. I think the biggest indicator for how far he’ll go and how strong his alliance is if Jenn uses her idol to help the No Collars at the next Tribal. |
|
|
 |
| 11. Tyler: He was on the wrong side at the last tribal treehouse, but he still has an ally in Carolyn. Will he be able to get back in some numbers? He drops the most in power this week. #top2bottom |
11. Joe: Merge time is dangerous to all-around threats. I’m personally hopeful that Joe will reconnect with his No Collar compadres (plus a few additions) and be able to continue on deeper into this game. |
11. Rodney: I was tempted to put Rodney last seeing as he’s clearly on the outs with Mike and the Blue Collars, but the merge is going to open some doors for him. Yeah, he targeted Joe, and yeah all of Nagarote was making fun of him last week and…wait…is it too late to put him last? |
|
|
|
| 12. Rodney: I’m sure he feels betrayed by Blue Collar, but he has to realize that it was his own fault. Actually, I don’t think Rodney would ever believe anything was his fault, that’s asking too much of him. #hotheadwithoptions | 12. Rodney: It was a referendum against power couples last two votes and because of this, his brosef is now gone. Overconfidence in this game can be a very dangerous thing. |
12. Mike: I think this week will turn into a No Collar vs. Blue Collar showdown. I don’t know which side the White Collars will join, I don’t know which side the floaters will join. But, I do know the No Collars have an idol. |
