Comments: As of now, just a run of the mill castaway. He seems to be with Britti's crew, but I don't think he's a top priority as far as rankings go there. And sadly I'm not really quite sure what he even thinking since his confessional is lacking. Matt is the type of player that usually stays under the radar and becomes more of a power player later on. And he also has a good detector for bullshit. If he senses Britti has other people she's watching over him, he'll make a move.

Comments: One of, if not, my favorite player in the game right now. It's no secret that he and Shira were my two favorites in Niihau. And I'm thrilled he decided to play again. His confessional so far has been top notch - very informative, decorative, and easy to read. He seems to be someone that everyone likes in the social department aside from a few and for that, has some early ties as far as alliances go. I see Ben having the most potential out of everyone in the game right now.

Comments: He's really underrating himself. He has a great position in the tribe right now being sort of in the middle of things. On paper that might look bad, but when there's a overthrow potentially in motion, he's definitly going to be safe. Right now he seems to just be riding coattails and doesn't want to cause any waves, which is totally fine for the early start of these things. I just hope he grows confidnece. Though... statistically speaking, he usually wins games that he's paranoid about losing.

Comments: Well, his under the radar strategy is actually working. He told me today it was off whe he tried to get Greg to stay, but I don't think too many people thought much of it. He has a good head on his shoulders and knows that Jessica's entourage has to be broken up. He's going to be the key in doing that.

Comments: Got a very, very raw deal. I still don't know a valid reason for his boot. He wasn't at the competition... so wasn't Silas. It doesn't make a difference if he logged on, he was on his phone. I can understand his alliance with Parvati, but who cares about a two person alliance? If you're not in an alliance with at least one other person at this point, you're not trying. I feel really bad for Zack cause I wanted to see him back to his old self and he was quickly becoming that.

Heidi

Comments: Not in a great position right now, but not in a bad one either. She's sorta floating along. Her social game is not on top, however. She seems to be good with Britti, but Britti is good with a lot of people. Which is both good in which she'll be protected, but bad in the sense that she's probably not high on a totem pole right now.

Jessica

Comments: Well on paper, it appears she's doing good but she's not being subtle with her allainces at all. She has a ton of pre-allies and auto-allies, but when you have this many in a game, you have to cover them up. She's not making any effort in keeping her ammunation concealed. People are beginning to suspect that she's up to something and I can definitly see her being out soon because of it.

JT

Comments: I'm not sure about JT right now. A few people don't seem to like him, I'm really not too sure why. Though right now he seems to be in an alright position and is part of a pretty powerful alliance. But it doesn't seem to be a very tight alliance either.

Comments: I always say that Alex is one of the most underrated players in ORGs. And I still stand by that. He definitly has potential, but something always gets in the way. I think this game is going to be an interesting watch. Already he's setting himself up in a very good position and has a great social game at this point. I see him at least making merge.

Comments: Cody, like always, is coming into this game looking very strong. He has a lot of allies right now on his tribe and single handedly caued the vote to swing to Greg without much effort at all. He's part of two alliances and is slowly forming a rebellion, almost identical to URTV8 where he was part of the alliance to take over Bubani's crew. And the reason I gave him four stars in the competitions panel is because he was the only one who made sense in the challenge's planning. Had they had Natalie do the rowing as everyone else began to get on, they would have done much better. Win? Probably not. But they didn't know Greg or Silas would completely no-show at that point.

Michelle

Comments: I predict her to be the next Dani boot. As I mentioned elsewhere, she's being way too obvious with her allegiances and her opening the can of worms about Parvati/Greg was not a bright move this early in the game and really puts her name out there. When people start rebelling against Jessica's alliance, I see her as an easy out to take out of the game.

Comments: Blue is looking great coming into this game. Fantastic confessional so far, great personality as usual, and is really lookng good as far alliances go. I see him as a key element in the Jessica overthrow and if it's successful, I see him going far.

Parvati

Comments: Well I haven't watched The Cat play in nearly a year, so it'll be interesting watching him again. So far he's looking pretty good. Greg leaving is... good for him, believe it or not. I kinda mirror my reasoning for Jordan leaving being good for Erika in URTV8. It takes out an obvious ally and people can't use the "You're with ____" excuse anymore. Also his idea of having Animal be Kris in PW... while very dirty, is brilliant.

Silas

Comments: Amr told me that he does way better in Survivor games than in Big Brother games which... just makes me scratch my head. It's going to be very rough for him to make competitions. I remember it being hard for him in Niihau, he didn't even get to attend the Immunity that sealed his fate. I hope he gets it together. Almost identical to last season's first boot, he caught a huge break here in not going home already and for some reason or another... people really want to align with him. I suppose they think they can use him as a puppet. I know first hand that he does have a mind of his own. We shall see.

Comments: On paper? Probably the best in the game. Reality? Could be in trouble. I think Britti has great alliances in this game, has great dedication, and is showing me what I've been missing since I haven't seen her play my series in over a year. I think the problem is that she's coming off too strong. Judd took up the leader role in the challenge and she quickly overtook it from him, which apparently ticked him off a bit. Not to mention that she has her "boyfriends" that she admits she has... I doubt that stays secret for very long. She's more of a wait and see person. If she survives long enough, she's going to be a serious contender to win this game. But for now, she needs to seriously work on some people.

Comments: Well, he had probably the best application I received for this game and so far is proving to have a pretty good head on his shoulders. He is part of Megan's group (In fact, he did the first Immunity challenge at her house) but seems to be spreading himself rather than sticking to his peeps. A lot of people seem to like him and trust him and I like how he's thinking as far as the future goes. But I'm interested in seeing how he reacts to the potential overthrow in Jessica's power hold.

Comments: Probably the worst position in the game. I don't know what's going on with Bubani whether he's busy in life or is pissed off he got Twila (He did tell me he was disappointed he didn't get his first picks). But he's not looking good at all. His tribe hates him, the competition was a complete bash party for him, and somebody already started framing him with a fake screen name. I think his only saving grace is for Korowai to keep winning until the Tribal Switch... and for Jessica to still be around to reunite BUBANI & Megan. Yay.

Comments: I don't know him very well, but from this game, I don't see him lasting very long, unless he works on his social game a little more. Not only is being around for challenges VERY important, but the social aspect is HUGE too. I can see him being voted out in 2-3 weeks if he doesn't pick it up. Unfortunately for him, a lot of his tribemates are preallies, so i don't even know if he has a fair shot.

Comments: I really like him. I liked him a lot in SBB9 [watching it] and I already really like him in this game. I agree with you KC. He is set up really well with a lot of people and although quite a few of them are pre-allies, he is trying really hard to stay alias and form new bonds. I like that!

Colby

Comments: I think he has really great potential to make it far because he is not only a very sociable guy, but very likable and an overall threat. I love that he is completely alias because 1) no one suspects him and 2) it allows him to play the game to the best of his abilities.

Comments: Erin usually starts off in games with so much promise and almost every game I watch her play in, I immediately root for her because she not only has a great personality and strong character, but she is a really good player as well and usually smells bullshit from a mile away. However, I see there being some problems down the road with people already knowing who she is. That's when she starts crumbling in games, when her alias is exposed. I'm rooting for her so I hope she keeps this up.

Comments: Sucks he left first, considering he had SO much potential. With the people in this game playing and his likable personality, I think he could have gone really far had he made it past this round. He knew he was gonna miss the beginning of the challenge though, so he should have at least warned people [and maybe not mention that it was cuz of Survivor- best episode EVER lol].

Heidi

Comments: I don't think she's bonded with many people and is relying way too much on Stephenie and her army, which isn't smart at all. She has a great personality, so why not use it to make your own bonds and alliances with other people? I think she could be in danger pre-merge.

Jessica

Comments: Starting off this round, I would have bet good money that she would be guaranteed merge, but she screwed it up. She is way too obvious with her alliances, she disappointed a bunch of people by her order of pickings and now everyone associates her with Michelle, who is probably the most disliked person in this game right now. This could turn around for her if Michelle goes, but if the castaways are smart, they would vote HER out over Michelle because if Michelle goes soon, Jessica might actually be able to survive long term.

Comments: For some reason, people don't like talking to him on AIM, which is retarded because he is not boring at all. Besides for that, he is in an alliance right now, but if any one of them decides to flip, he could be the first casualty.

Comments: I love that he is trying and is really getting into the game. He is doing very well and is seen as a strong ally to quite a few people. He is well liked and is part of an alliance that even if doesn't stick, he should come out of it unscathed.

Comments: Cody is my favorite person to watch in a game. He is so ridiculous, so entertaining and just so damn good, lol. But seriously, he is set up really well within his tribe and has a strong alliance with Parv on the other tribe. He is setting himself up really well for not only on his own tribe, but for when merge happens as well. He is looking out for pre-allies and listening to other people when they tell him something as opposed to brushing it off, like he sometimes tends to do.

Comments: She isn't very well liked by quite a few people in this game and I see her leaving very very soon, although it probably would make more sense for everyone to take out her closest ally, Jessica, instead. She hasn't formed very many bonds, so she would be an easy pick up, if her closest allies were to go... unlike Jessica who has quite a few other allies set up already.

Comments: I think she's doing really well so far. Even though there is an alliance that has already been made on her tribe that does NOT include her, I see her being in a much better position than those within the alliance. She is being very social and likable and I think with Erin's help, they can do some damage.

Parvati

Comments: Loveee Parvati in this game. She is being very social, extremely cautious and setting up her game to make it really far. Although Greg leaving did hurt her a little bit because she lost a very strong ally, it will give her more focus in this game and will ensure that she plays this game for herself, as opposed to for him as well. Also, this strengthens the other relationships she has in this game.

Comments: I don't see her going anywhere for a very long time, but towards the end, she is going to face trouble. Eventually, she will be pulled in 3-4 different directions and she won't know what to do with herself. I think that although people will see this, they won't do much about it either, unless they all just sit down and compare notes.

Comments: I like Todd, but I'm not as impressed as I first was. Pre-alliances, yes, knowing someone in real life? meh. Not very impressive. I do like that he is making other bonds and making other alliances, but I just hope he isn't sharing HIS password with Jessica as she is with him.
