[before reading confessionals for this round. In Blue are my comments post-reading]
Aras
Alliances: **
Influence: **
Personality: **
Confessions: DUD
Activity: **
Competitions: **
Credibility: *
Comments: He really needs to step things up. The only thing that has kept him safe in this game was his prior relationship with Parv and Stephenie. For a guy who talks a lot of shit about pre-alliances, he seems to be solely relying on them, which is lame.
Ben

Comments: Ben has been away for a little while so I don't really know where he stands. He seems to be falling back on Natalie a little bit now. He made me laugh with his conversation with Jessica, especially comparing both their perspectives. It was pretty obvious that he was calling her out and Jessica didn't even pick up on it lmao. He is extremely smart and knows what's up. I am definitely rooting for him because he has his head screwed on straight and can do a lot of damage with his outlook and perspective on things in the game.
Colby
Alliances: ****
Influence: ***
Personality: *****
Confessions: *****
Activity: ****
Competitions: ****
Credibility: ***
Comments: He has definitely gained quite a bit of respect by the other players and is very well liked. He seems to be good with everyone and I see him making it very far. I feel that sometimes people are so obsessed with the whole pre-alliance bullshit that they sort of wreck their games in the process. It's cool that he didn't intend on any of it, but if it's right there and you know you can trust someone, I find it a little odd to turn on them just for the sake of saying "I wasn't in any pre-alliance." He knows that Jessica/Michelle/Todd are tight and no matter who Stephenie is, he should break those 3 up anyway. He made the wrong choice by picking Todd/Michelle/Jessica over Natalie. He should have given Parv the opportunity to take one of them to take them out pre-merge and kept Natalie safe in the process. BAD picks.
Heidi

Comments: I feel like she came such a long way from the first 2 weeks. She's been getting her social game on and has proven to be quite a competitor. Tribe swap hasn't been too good for her and I'm not sure I see her lasting very long, unless Kenny makes a move and pisses Parv off.
Jessica
Alliances: ***

Personality: ***

Credibility: **
Comments: She's in a good position right now, unless some people smarten up. I don't see that happening so I think she will make it to merge. She's got quite a few people fooled and really, that's all it takes and in all honesty, it's a pretty good strategy.

Comments: Gah! I wish him the best of luck on his new tribe. I hope he steps up his social game because as it stands, I think he is screwed on his new tribe. I'm glad he is using his relationship with Jessica from another game, seeing as how everyone else seems to be anyway.

Comments: He's in exile which is one of the best things that could happen to him right now. I think he would have been in danger if he were on either tribe. Hopefully he takes the time to socialize with both tribes and ensure his safety for the following weeks.
Kenny
Alliances: ****
Influence: ****
Personality: *****

Activity: ****
Competitions: *****
Credibility: ****
Comments: Kenny isn't gonna be told what to do by ANYBODY. He has his own gameplan and if you don't agree with it, then he will cut you loose! I thought he and Parv were solid, but apparently not. I guess I can understand why he doesn't try and figure out who people are because when he knows them, it's hard for him to play as cutthroat as he could. I have faith in him, I just hope he doesn't take too big of a risk, considering it is only him and Natalie on his tribe and I doubt he can get much more support [maybe Ben]. Seems like he is on board with Parv's plan, but I'm not sure it's the best thing for him. I would like for him and Parv to remain tight, but not if it means screwing up his own game in the process.
Michelle

Comments: Her being on the same tribe as Colby is probably what's gonna guarantee her safety till merge. No matter who Colby sides with and no matter what Colby decides to do, Michelle will be safe. I think she's good.
Natalie

Comments: She's one of my favorite people in this game. She's playing for herself and doing everything possible to fit in. I don't really know why she's having such a hard time though. I'mkind of hoping Kenny gives her his idol so that Aras could leave instead.
Parvati
Alliances: ****

Credibility: ****
Comments: Parvati is not only safe in the next TC, but she is probably safe till AT LEAST merge. She is probably one of the most influential person in this game, but she is seen as a threat, so she could be a target as soon as merge happens. Her picks were terrible and people are picking up on it. I still think she'll be good till merge because she does hold a lot of power right now, but she is gonna have to watch out when merge happens, for sure.

Comments: She seems to be in a bad spot in her tribe right now, but I'm hoping she can use some of her GF status with Colby to get herself out of that mess. Maybe she can sway him into realizing what a huge threat Jessica, Todd and Michelle are as a trio.
Todd

Comments: I liked him a lot in this game, but he seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. I know he's being social, but only because of what I read from other people's confessionals. I think from his trio, he is at most in danger within his tribe, but I also think he is the smartest, so I have faith in him.
