The Standings Before Episode 6 Raro wins reward Aitu wins immunity Jonathan on Exile Island Stephannie voted out 7-1 ADAM: (Voted for Stephannie) So if it is Adam’s strategy to just fly under the radar until the final merge, he’s doing one heck of a job. I mean, we see him a little bit… but he’s not sticking his neck out there, or doing anything outrageous. When all the other guys are lying about, he is too. When all the other guys are working hard, he is too. When everyone is going to vote for J.P., he does too. When everyone is going to vote for Stephannie, he does too. I’m not saying it’s a bad strategy, it’s just hard to know how much of it is actually strategy, and how much of it is that he’s just not a very strong player, and only knows how to follow someone else’s lead. This eventually becomes an individual sport though, so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if he can step up to the plate by then. BECKY: (Tribal Immunity) Well, Becky is making a career out of being the small light one that they throw about in the challenges. Last week she was dragged through obstacles while shackled to a rope, this week she had to be one of the little ones stepping across the moving stepping stones. But other than that, she sure lays about a lot, reveling in the safety of her alliance. I think she had better offer a little bit more than that, otherwise she’s going to get booted as soon as things get rough. The strongest move she made though was allying with Yul early on. But that alone is not going to get her to the end. BRAD: (Voted for Stephannie) See Adam. CANDICE: (Tribal Immunity) See Becky. But add an air of superiority. CAO BOI: (Tribal Immunity) Wow, this guy is just lucky that his tribe hasn’t been to Tribal Council anytime lately, because he would have been shown the door a long time ago. He really offers next to nothing in the day-to-day activities of the tribe… just non-stop story time, which I think everyone would be happier without. He made everyone at Raro tribe thankful that they live an island away from him, after he gave them a sample of his meandering never-ending yammering… about who knows what. He’s quite the character, but I think his tribe believes they have enough character, and they can do fine without him. Surely he will be the next to go. CRISTINA: (Voted for Stephannie) Girl, your tribe just got rid of someone because they viewed him as bossy, and yet you stepped right into his shoes and started barking orders right where he left off. Are you ignorant??? You are just lucky that Stephannie fell on her sword, AGAIN. Because no one wants to be stranded on a small deserted island with a know-it-all. JENNY: (Voted for Stephannie) I like Jenny. She works hard, keeps her head down, avoids the drama... and yet is pretty observant of what's going on in the tribe around her, and what she should do to keep herself safe. She's going to want to align with one of the guys though, because she's going to need someone in her corner with some physical strength if she makes it to the merge. Psssst. I suggest you sit down with either Adam or Brad. They're both plyable, and seem to like having someone to tell them what to do. JESSICA: (Tribal Immunity) Hey Flicka. I like how you like to jump right in and mix it up a bit, but if you decide to taunt the other tribe during a challenge, you might not what to be the one that ends up letting loose of the rope and sealing your tribe's fate. And what's with this desire to explore this other island, and then discovering that it's the locatoin of the other tribe? Didn't you used to BE part of that tribe, Flicka? Isn't that the island you used to live on? Hon... I know they all kind of look alike, but you've only been on two of them. Nothing run a bell for you before you stumbled on their camp? Man, I hope one of the challenges isn't a memory game. You'll be toast. JONATHAN: (Tribal Immunity) Poor Jonathan... sent back to Exile Island to look for an idol that is no longer there. Kudos to you for announcing it to everyone though. Considering the fact that the guy that has the idol is in your alliance, you maybe should have chatted with him a bit before you announced to everyone the the idol has most likely been found. It's not going to take a genius to figure out that SOMEONE in your alliance probably has it. Ah well... hindsight, blah, blah, blah. NATHAN: (Voted for Stephannie) Nate and Adam were looking kind of cozy during the reward challenge. Clinging on to each other, grabbing at each other... all sweaty and hot. No wonder Brad dropped his weights. But you sure woke up with a renewed work ethic after J.P. got sent home. But it did as you hoped, and got the ladies attention and respect. I think they'll keep you around now... especially Parvati. OZZY: (Tribal Immunity) Poor Ozzy. He's probably the most prepared and physically capable guys out there... and he's stuck in a default alliance of Cao Boi and Flicka??? I'm quite sure this is not how he pictured it going. He needs to get over to that power alliance of four, pledge his loyalty, and make a case for them to trust him and protect him... otherwise he probably won't make it to the merge. And I think this guy will be tough to beat once it comes to individual effort. PARVATI: (Voted for Stephannie) Hmmmm... what to say about Parvati. Well, she seems to be walking the line between the girls and guys of her tribe pretty well. Both sides talk to her, neither side distrusts her. She's got the flirty thing going on with the guys, and the whole "being female" thing going on with the girls. But she doesn't seem to DO a whole lot around camp, does she? I guess that's working for her now, but she kind of seems like a floater, and I don't know if anyone will risk themselves to save her if it comes down to a choice in the near future. REBECCA: (Voted for Stephannie) Rebecca is quiet, observant, and smart. She's playing this game really well so far, and is strategically on top of things. As long as she doesn't do something to draw attention to herself, she seems to have a knack for staying one step ahead of things and keeping herself in a good position. She's got a strong ally in Jenny, and the two of them should not be underestimated. SUNDRA: (Tribal Immunity) Sundra did the smart thing by sticking around camp and getting closer to the Big 4 alliance instead of going on the whole Flicka/Ozzy/Cao Boi boon-doggle. She can float around all she wants after the merge... but if she wants to GET to the merge, she better stick with the other four. YUL: (Tribal Immunity) Yul... last week you were less than stellar in the puzzle challenge, and this week you were the first to drop your load of bricks in the reward challenge. Come on! You've been hyped up to be the strongest all around player in the game, and you're stumbling a bit here. And now, if anyone out there has been paying attention, they have to be assuming that you've got the hidden idol. You're still positioned pretty, but you're not as unbeatable as I originally though.
