Alright, I know there has been a lot of speculation and some straight up spoilers on the part of CBS for this coming episode. I have not seen any of these spoilers and as such the power rankings will be done based solely on what was showed in last week's episode, including the next time segment.

 Angkor 

1) Tasha Fox - She's been sitting comfortably for a long while at the top now, both in my rankings and in the game. She's everybody's number 1 on her current tribe and places equally.

2) Andrew Savage - He's got a firmly cemented relationship with Tasha, Jeremy and Joe and no doubt he's been bonding with Woo hardcore. While he'll be a bigger target than Tasha when the time comes, the time is not yet coming.

3) Woo Hwang - Last week I had Savage and Woo swapped, because I thought it was more likely that Tasha would turn on Savage than on Woo. Come to think of it, the only reason either of the Angkor guys would go would be because Abi wanted it and Tasha, for whatever reason, wanted to keep loyalty with her. If that's the case, Woo is the guy to go, not Savage.

4) Abbie-Marie Gomez - There is literally no reason to keep Abi around, and as fun as she's been to watch I think we've gotten about all we can. I'm ready for her to go, and I think the rest of her tribe is too.

 Bayon: 

1) Kimmi Kappenberg - With much chagrin I slot Kimmi at number one on her tribe. I don't agree with her move this past week in blindsiding Monica to win favour with the men, as it will turn out catastrophically for her chances at winning in the long run. However, I see four possible outcomes this week if Bayon were to lose another immunity challenge, none of which involve Kimmi leaving. Congrats girl, you managed to do something worthy of mentioning. Let's see how the rest of the season goes.

2) Jeremy Collins - He is number 2 because out of the four people that could go from this tribe, he has the most protection. If Spencer and Wiglesworth reunite to combat the very obvious Bayon alliance and somehow manage to pull in Stephen, whether it be with a revelation of Jeremy's idol or something unrelated, Jeremy could be in store for a vicious blindside.

3) Spencer Bledsoe - It seems like Jeremy really, really wants to keep Spencer around. But from the previews we can see Stephen wants to make a big move of some kind. It could end up being a matter of Jeremy having to choose between two allies that he clearly values a lot. Spencer is the lesser likely victim of that situation.

4) Stephen Fishbach - Of course that leaves Fishy as the other possible recipient of a blindside by his buddy Jeremy. It's coming to the time where Stephen will become very dangerous, and unlike someone like Ciera, everybody knows the time is coming for him.

5) Kelly Wiglesworth - I'll have something to say about Kelly when she proves she was worth the spot she got.

 Ta Keo: 

1) Kass McQuillen - I don't think there's any chance this iteration of Ta Keo goes to tribal council, so my power rankings for this tribe will be done solely on the possibility of a medevac. We saw Kass talking about it, so I think we can effectively remove her from the mix. I think she's really the only one that we can do that for.

2) Kelley Wentworth - It would be a damn shame for Kelley to have such a great edit and then get removed in such an anticlimactic way. She's this high up simply because I refuse to believe it could be her getting medevac'd.

3) Joe Anglim - What are the chances that the perfect physical specimen gets injured or sick? I can't see it happening.

4) Terry Deitz - Now we get to the likely suspects. It very well could be Terry. We saw Kass get very upset about the possibility of whoever it is leaving, and I think Kass would be heartbroken to see lovable leader Terry be removed from his second chance after such a long layoff and such a strong improvement in his game. As would I. As should you all be.

5) Keith Nale - He was a soundbyte dispenser back in SJDS, and now he has a total of 3 confessionals through the first 5 episodes? He's definitely giving them something to work with, it could just be that there's no point to going in depth to his storyline when it's ultimately going to end so abruptly.

6) Ciera Eastin - I don't know if there's much that would make Kass more upset than seeing sweet little Ciera in pain and about to be removed from the game, especially when they're working together. I'm hoping it's Keith, but I've got a bad feeling about Ciera.

And now we'll get to a new ending segment in the weekly power rankings; the obituaries.

Obituary - Monica Padilla

My sweet MonPad. I hated to see you humiliated in the way you were, especially considering I don't really think it was warranted. To be honest, this past episode kind of seemed like a filler episode only meant to get rid of somebody who wasn't providing that much action. It's a shame, I had high hopes for Monica. Alas, onto bigger and better characters.
