@Tubbzy part of that shift was the fact that these post swap tribes are smaller tribes, which usually benefits players like Chris because there is little room for error and you need to have some sort of strength in challenges.

My power rankings for each tribe going into episode 6

Ika Bula 1.Jay Starrett: Whether he intended to or not, he seems to be dictating the tempo in this tribe. 2.Michaela Bradshaw: Her reaction to being drawn into Ika Bula was certainly interesting, but she quickly became her new tribe’s MVP. 3.Will Wahl: He was one of my pre season favorites and has had some good confessionals and secret scenes, so I’m disappointed in his lack of air time. 4.Hannah Shapiro: If for no other reason than a potential medevac, I think she’s the most likely to leave. 5.Bret LaBelle: His strength, contributions in camp, and more airtime, he’s in a better spot than Sunday. 6.Sunday Burquist: She’s the most invisible person in this game, and when she’s visible she’s sucking at a challenge. Her time may be up. Takali <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">1.Adam Klein: He’s got the idol and he’s in the decisive position in this tribe. I hope he makes the right decision and gets rid of either Romeo or Juliet. <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">2.Ken McNickle: He knows what he needs to do and he’s making sure he’s on Adam side in case this tribe goes to Tribal Council. <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">3.Jessica Lewis: Her damage control worked out well, especially since she’s on a 5 person tribe with Ken as the only other Gen Xer. Things are working out well for her but she better hope it stays that way because it’s hard to recover from a bad situation twice. <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">4.Figgy Figueroa: She’s got her head in the game but she’s having trouble keeping her boyfriend “Tails” in line. That can be enough to derail her own game. <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">5.Taylor Stocker: He might’ve been involved in the movement against Mari but he’s clearly not the brains of the operation. That has become crystal clear this episode, if it wasn’t already by now. <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Vanua <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">1.Chris Hammons: After struggling to get a solid foothold on his old tribe, he’s the kingpin of this new tribe. He’s carrying the tribe on his back in challenges and everyone is counting on his vote if they return to Tribal. <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">2.Zeke Smith: Despite the initial disadvantage, now things are working out well for Zeke on this tribe. He is a shoe in to make the merge or next swap as long as Vanua doesn’t get Ulonged. <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">3.David Wright: His game went from 0 to 100 real quick, but he has to dial it back now to about 45. Maybe him and Chris and Zeke could be the genesis of a very random but colorful alliance. <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">4.Michelle Schubert: She has played well up to this point, and she is not entirely screwed if this tribe wins again, but she has a lot of work to do to get back into a good position.
