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 two points. At the end of the season, the person with the most points will be named the “Survivor: Worlds Apart” Power Rankings Challenge Champion.

| 1. Carolyn: She betrayed her closest ally Tyler this past week. Was it the smartest choice at this point? Would Tyler have done the same to her soon? Regardless, she is killing it in this game. She’s strong in challenges, has made big moves, and still has the idol. If the others let her in to the Final, she will win the whole thing. #yeahbaby | 1. Carolyn: I love that she made the push with Mike to take out the threat, Tyler; wise on her part. Wondering if anyone else knows about her idol now. She has several viable options and in addition to that idol. Without an act of overconfidence, I don’t see her going home this week. |
1. Will: Oh man, Will’s such a lock to go to the end of this game. Seriously, why bother going to immunity challenges? Why go to Tribal? Just jot down your vote on a spare piece of paper and let Rodney deliver it. |
|
|
|
| 2. Will: The best goat this season. I can’t think of one reason that a jury member may vote for him. #golden |
2. Will: Are we just to assume that he is so ensconced in numbers and such a non-threat that he’s just going to sail to the FTC? It’s always fascinating to me to watch this particular archetype get so far along season after season. |
2. Carolyn: Mama C stabbed her biggest ally in the back last week. Good move? Well, if Mike loses one of the next immunity challenges and they can finally send him home, she’s a genius. If Mike can run through a Tyler-less field and get to the end, she’s going to regret it. |

| 3. Sierra: She needs to do something, anything, so that she can have content in her FTC speech. #ghost |
3. Sierra: Wondering who is going to align with her to take advantage of her eager vote. I feel like she is constantly poking around the edges, trying to find her way into a solid sub-alliance. |
3. Rodney: For the love of all that is good with “Survivor,” will someone please bring a birthday cake to the finale? Can Probst lead the audience in a chorus of “Happy Birthday”? I felt terrible. And in spite of his crushing disappointment, at least he was trying to come up with a way to trick Mike into not playing the idol. |
|
|
 |
| 4. Rodney: Poor, sad, angry birthday boy seems to be the man that everyone looks to for decisions, which is really strange to me. How did he get this position? By being the loudest, or maybe the most sexist? Perhaps. Whatever the reason, it’s worked and he is in the final six eyeing FTC. #loudleader |
4. Rodney: Besides seeing him pout over it being the worst Birthday ever (which I don’t know how any other BDay could top one being celebrated during a game of “Survivor”), we didn’t see much from him in this episode. Not sure if that means there could be a lot of him coming up in a boot episode or if he goes even deeper. |
4. Dan: Everyone is afraid of Dan’s advantage and this next Tribal is the best time to use it. It turns an even vote into an odd vote and as we’ve discussed before, odd votes are the best time to make moves. If I’m Dan, I pick my two partners and make my move now. If it works, the next vote will be final five and you’ll already have the numbers. |
|
|
|
| 5. Dan: He is paranoid after votes have been cast his way. He will make some (more) mistakes this next episode as he tries to do anything to get the focus off of him. #treadingwater |
5. Dan: I feel people (like Carolyn) would be smart to align with him to capitalize on his advantage and then sit next to him at the FTC. He needs to start advocating to others the benefits of him being the perfect goat if he’d like to make it to the FTC. |
5. Sierra: So, the consensus among the exit interviews seems to be that most people want to go to the end with Rodney and Will. Makes sense to me, although, I think the jury might like Rodney more than they’ve been showing. But what about Sierra? It seems like she might not get points for her gameplay, but she’s been a prominent part of the Ladies Couch. The jury likes her. If Mike wins immunity, I’d target her. |

|
|
| 6. Mike: He successfully fractured the alliance by playing his idol and sending Tyler packing. This guy is hanging on for dear life, and will do anything to stay in the game. #lastchance |
6. Mike: He is playing a balls-to-the-wall game right now because he has to and he caused the majority alliance to cannibalize one of their own. As much as I love rooting for him as an underdog story, I’m not sure if he’ll make it past this week or next. |
6. Mike: Forget the “Second Chance” vote, Merica Mike can win “Survivor: Worlds Apart.” But, he’s gotta be perfect. He needs to find an idol or go on a perfect challenge winning streak, because anyone who decides to throw him a bone and vote with him is playing for second place. |
