Here are my rankings:

1. Edna -- my favorite so far. She's gotten safe into a very strong alliance. And she reminds me a bit of Kat, another Asian American anethesiologist -- only from TAR. I hope she goes far.

2. Mikayla -- this lingerie football player is not that much like Parvati, even if Brandon thinks otherwise. I feel for her and hope she can overcome being on the outside looking in.

3. Coach -- what a difference two seasons make! I didn't like him in Tocantins and wasn't too fond of him in H v V. I like him much more now. I hope he goes far.

4. Cochran -- he's clearly on the outskirts of his alliance but he's very smart. I hope he goes far as well.

5. Ozzy -- I always liked him and I'm glad he found the Hidden Immunity Idol. But I feel he's a bit cocky and that's bad.

6. Elyse -- I like her most of the rest of the people here.

7. Sophie -- she can speak Russian, and apparently so does Coach. This should help her out.

8. Rick -- pretty nice guy and does well in challenges.

9. Albert -- middle of the road.

10. Whitney -- also middle of the road.

11. Brandon -- he's trying to avoid being like his uncle. That's good. Problem is, he's trying too hard!

12. Keith -- also middle of the road for me.

13. Jim -- it's not a good idea to get too cocky. Ask any cocky contestant who lost.

14. Dawn -- her breakdown doesn't bode too well for her.

15. Papa Bear -- he's weak. Not a good sign.

16. Stacey -- dead woman walking.

On Redemption Island:

Semhar -- true, she stepped up but she also screwed up. Worse, she didn't plot and scheme enough and had a fairly bad attitude. That's why she's on Redemption Island.

Christine -- idiot. I hope she goes first.
