Board Thread:Virtual Tribal Council/@comment-26497595-20151014145854

What a ridiculous episode last week. Nothing turned out how I thought it would and I loved it. Let's start with my least favourite tribe.

 Bayon: 

1) Monica Padilla - Somehow she's found her way into an alliance that actually really needs her. Her and Kimmi are likely swing votes if Spencer and Wiglesworth can pull in Stephen, and if they don't then she's sitting pretty. Very pretty.

2) Kimmi Kappenberg - Yaaaaaawwwwwwnnnnnnnn.

3) Stephen Fishbach - Fishy got very, very lucky with the tribe he was placed on. He did a great job ingratiating himself to Jeremy and trying to act as a close lieutenant rather than a strategic powerhouse. Keep swimming.

4) Kelly Wiglesworth - I don't fully buy that Jeremy, Stephen AND Spencer will be able to work together. No matter how much coddling Spencer does he is still a huge strategic and physical threat, and Jeremy should never fully trust Stephen. If this tribe somehow gets to tribal council, I doubt Kelly will be on the chopping block.

5) Jeremy Collins - Dude just needs to relax. He's got people literally lining up to be his second-in-command and that is NOT A GOOD THING. It means they're going to throw him under the bus as soon as the target is on their crew. Jeremy needs to be the one doing the sucking up.

6) Spencer Bledsoe - Sorry man, I'm just not buying it. Congrats, you got on a strong tribe. Congrats, you told a heartfelt story about how heartless you are. Spencer is doing all the right things, but I just don't see it working out.

 Ta Keo: 

1) Keith Nale - Highest stock belongs to Keith for sure. Everybody is gonna want his vote, he won't screw anybody over, he's a hardworking guy and is great in the challenges (if they don't involve torches). No way is he going.

2) Ciera Eastin - Little Laura is playing the perfect game for herself at this point. She needed to sit down and shut up, and boy did she. Now that she's in a tribe swap, she'll have some leverage to create relationships. Ciera is doing just fine.

3) Kelley Wentworth - I would love to put Wentworth higher, but she'll likely have a target on her if her tribe loses, simply because Terry is so strong. However, she does have an idol and after the last episode I am fully confident (and terrified) that she can successfully throw Mr. Deitz under the bus. Or kick, I guess.

4) Kass McQuillen - Congrats, Kass. You've managed to not ruin your own game. Keep on keeping on. Maybe be a little more entertaining.

5) Joe Anglim - Joe APPEARS to be in a safe spot, but we all know his expiry date is coming up. Nobody should ever want to have him in a merge.

6) Terry Deitz - This hurts my soul deeply. Terry has been doing great so far and it looks like he may be the truly terrible unfortunate casualty of this tribe expansion. Plan A is win, Plan B is win and Plan C is to screw over my other favourite player this season. It will be a dark day for me if Ta Keo loses.

 Angkor: 

1) Tasha Fox - Everybody else in this tribe has a possibility of being voted out when Angkor inevitably goes back to tribal council. Tasha is safe, safe and safe again.

2) Abbie-Marie Gomez - It is very possible that Abi will be voted out due to her weakness as Savage will definitely not want to keep losing. However, bigger targets have emerged and they have to be looking ahead to another swap. Abi may be picked off for being untrustworthy though. She's tough to read. (Controversial statement, I know).

3) Andrew Savage - Looks like Savage was finally able to adapt. Excellent move Andy. If Ta Keo can somehow pull it back together, however, he's likely to get chomped.

4) Woo Hwang - It's time for Woo to put away his blindside face and start playing up his loyalty the way he did after the Uncle Cliffy incident. I imagine Savage will be very keen to pick up Woo as an ally. It's a match made in heaven and the only jury vote Woo received in Cagayan is there to boot. However, if he isn't able to "woo" the Bayons successfully they have every reason to take him out.

5) Jeff Varner - Jeff has seemed very bitter on twitter this last week. I'm not sure if it's a Quinlan-like bitterness or if it's more Vlachos-esque. Either way, he seems to be in a very spot and from Savage and Tasha's perspective, there is no better move to make than to toss Jeff out the door. Should've taken it a bit slower. Maybe next time.
