Disclaimer: Before you feel personally attacked by where you are ranked just remember.... I didn't do this to you, Ya did it to yourself
But for real, this cast rocks. I've never been more hyped about watching a game from the VL than I am this one and it's b/c the diversity of genders, new/old players, etc. is awesome. The personalities are there and for the most part, everyone has potential to do well.
Anyways, lets get this bread.
2) Ryan - LOVE Ryan. He's definitely one of my favorites this season and someone I could see winning. He's really good at forming those bonds and his social game has been on point. He's a Survivor super-fan and while he's new to these games, he's already showing that he understands the dynamics well. Working with Sam and Brandon is great for him, but I just don't want it to be a thing where he just blindly follows Sams lead throughout the game because she could lead him to death if he isn't careful (She's WILD!). Overall tho, nothing bad to say here. He's my favorite guy this season for sure.
3) Sam - Everyone loves Sam, me included, because she rocks! Super entertaining, brings the positive vibes and energy and I'm not shocked she's been labeled as someone who is good with everyone on the tribe. With that said, I can't see her winning this season anymore. The only reason for that is that she's already been labeled on day 3 as the biggest social threat on the tribe, and that target is only going to grow as the season progresses. She did mention in her confessional that she wants to downplay her social game moving forward...but I just can't see it happening, especially with how much she's overplaying already. It should be a simple first boot on an inactive player, but her planning a blindside on Jessaca this early is a mistake because it'll show her cards and expose her alliance moving forward.
Last second update - OMG SHE GOT THE IDOL LOLOL she just destroyed Alex on Devils Island, played him like a fiddle woooo.
4) Iqra - Iqra is awesome to watch. I've played a couple games with her however and she can be SOOOOOO messy. I'm hoping that she's able to stay away from that type of gameplay and play a more methodical, calm game. But it's Iqra, and paranoia is her MO. On this tribe she seems pretty well positioned. She isn't at the top of the food chain but also isn't close to the bottom, so I see her making it out of this tribe. She's a dynamic player and if she makes merge she will be one to watch.
5) Brandon - Brandon was one of my pre-season faves just based on his intro. What I've gathered from others, he's killing the game right now. Everyone likes him, and he's in the most solid alliance on the tribe right now with Sam and Ryan. He will likely go up in these rankings but because he has yet to upload a confessional, this is where he stands. I'm excited to watch him play! See him going far.
6) Spencer - Spencer is reading this tribe so well. He recognizes the Brandon/Ryan connection and how dangerous Sam is. I think he's picking the right allies in Torry and Jessaca, as they are not as connected throughout the tribe. Spencer is someone who I see going really far. He's pretty funny in confessionals too, especially about the laundry detergent situation LOL. He understands how the game works and is someone I see making the tribe swap.
7) Jessaca - Honestly not sure how I feel about Jessaca yet. She's formed a couple good bonds with Spencer and Torry, but at the same time she's put a target on her back with the Devil Islands mistake. Additionally, Sam and Ryan are thinking about targeting her which could be her downfall. The good thing is, Jessaca realizes her mistakes but I'm worried she's hating on her own game too much. She needs to turn things around and at this point she's going to HAVE to play hard to survive this tribe.
8) Chioma - Similar to Brandon, has yet to upload a confessional. That's why shes ranked this low. Also, from what Prod has said, she hasn't really been very active and hasn't gone on 1 on 1 calls. I don't think Chioma necessarily understands how important the social game is in Survivor and that just comes from a lack of understanding the game shes playing. She'll be gone pre-merge 100% and probably the very first vote.
9) Kyle - Doesn't have a confessional so I have nothing to say. TBH I forgot Kyle even existed. If Chioma isn't first boot, he's another possible candidate. Nothing positive or negative to say because like uhhh idk who you are.
1) Jason - KING! I love Jason so much, coming from Conquest where I was just viewing him. He's a mess. A hot fucking mess. And I called it day 1 that he would end up in a showmance 100% and here we are...Jason in a showmance with a girl who has a boyfriend. Fucking hilarious. AND HE GOT AN IDOL! WOOO!! Lets go!!! I will always root for Jason because he represents Kobe (Shooting his shot baby) and will bring entertainment until he eventually goes down.
2) Grace - Wooooo! I feel like whenever I choose to be in a VL grace is somehow cast in the game. Like literally 3 in a row lol. Anyways, Grace is awesome. I root for her everytime because we go way back and the way she is just playing with these men already OOF. Imagine having a showmance with a girl whose boyfriend just played the previous season. YIKES!! She has Jason and Alex around her fingers and is already in a tight alliance with Elyse/Devon. She's crushing it so far, hoping she goes far!
3) Kristine - If this was an episode of Survivor, Kristine would have the most air time. She is WILD! Whether it's her making a 6 person alliance 10 minutes into the game or filming 5 59-second confessionals b/c that's the snapchat time limit...regardless she's pure entertainment. I just can not for the life of me see her making the merge due to how wild her gameplay is. But while she's her, I will be a fan!
4) Elyse - Okay so...whose ready to attack me for this one? I have not LOVED Elyse thus far. The hype is real, she's already been showing how good she is at the same but....I just am not a fan of her first confessional. She seems a bit stuck-up and full of herself but I mean, I don't know her personally so it could just be her style. With that said, Elyse has potential to not only go far but possibly win this game. I also think I'll start liking her more as the game moves on, it just wasn't a great first impression she made on me. Love her and Grace working together tho, iconic!
5) Alex - Alex seems like a good dude. Very thoughtful and has a good read on the players on his tribe. I don't know if he's going to be the most aggressive player on this tribe, but sometimes you don't need to be. As long as he stays under the radar and focuses on building relationships, I see him surviving this tribe. Mostly because there's a lot of crazies in this bunch and they're already aiming for killshots.
6) Chris - LETS GET THIS BREAD! Chris is cool but he hasn't provided much insight into his game. I'm not sure how social he's been but at least his confessionals are funny.
7) Jessie - Sadly, Jessie does not yet have a confessional. BUT based on her intro video, she seems so sweet and nice and on a tribe like this...I just hope she doesn't get eaten alive. This is a tribe full of Sharks and Jessie is like a cute puppy. Don't know much about her game at all but so far she hasn't been named as someone people want out...so that's good!
8) Gabby - I was confused why people were calling her a bit "aggressive" in their confessionals....and then she uploaded one LOL! Gabby does seem to have pure intentions but she's clearly already making some of her more passive tribemates (Elyse/Grace) feel uncomfortable talking to her?? Idk if it's just them being petty or if gabby is actually THAT loud but either way it's not looking great for Gabby right now.
9) Devon - Devon's cockiness isn't what bothers me...it's his long ass fucking confessionals. This mans first comment was "this will be a quick one" and proceeded to make it 12 minutes long. That's just....WOW! Not a huge fan of him thus far, even though pre-game I liked his intro a lot. My feelings towards Devon could and possibly will change as the game goes on, but for now I'm rooting against him. Although, objectively speaking, his alliance with Grace and Elyse is great for his game and he's already been informed on all the shenanigans going on against him involving Kristine and Jason.
But for real, this cast rocks. I've never been more hyped about watching a game from the VL than I am this one and it's b/c the diversity of genders, new/old players, etc. is awesome. The personalities are there and for the most part, everyone has potential to do well.
Anyways, lets get this bread.
Dreyfus:
1) Torry - WINNER PICK!!!! Torry's first confessional was SO great. She's hilarious and easily the person I'm most surprised by this round. It doesn't hurt that she seems like a genuine person who isn't just a gamer. She has Sam absolutely CLOCKED as a gamer and what she's doing. I could see Torry/Jessaca/Spencer becoming a trio moving forward, which would be great for her. But I still think she needs to stay close to Ryan/Brandon because they could keep Sam from targeting her. Anyways, I just feel like out of everyone in the game she's shown the most potential in this game even though the newbieness has shown. Can't wait to see how far she gets!
