1. Kim (2). Although Troy did manage to rattle her with his antics, and she is struggling to maintain control, she is clearly still on top of the game. And coming out of the shower, counting her money making a show on the peanut butter bid, she did actually have (finally) an amusing moment. Woo-Woo!2. Chelsea (5). Her moral issues continued, slightly, and she seems to be heading into a more diplomatic mode, so good. Things can still get to her, but telling Troyzan that Jonas was more deserving for all the work he did, very telling if subtle moment. Her disappointment in Christina was short-lived once she got it vented.
3. Kat (4). It's bacon! Kat was the comedy cut-up at the auction, and very animated. "Yeah yeah yeah, get over here so I can get more airtime." At this point she seems to be playing for the Fan Favorite award, shame she isn't getting more focus in the edit. In the group strategy session she had some very good strategy points, though, so her head is in the game.
4. Troy "Troyzan" (1). Man oh man, this last episode was all Troyzan, it was his show. And I love that he is going all out, he really did put this episode over the top. But for the sexist nonsense I might have placed him #1 again this week. In the end he did have a great plan for a classic Survivor upset, and I'm pretty certain Christina and Leif would have been onboard but one or both of Alicia and Tarzan wouldn't buy in. Damn shame, it would have been classic, classic!
5. Christina (8). Dang she was hot this time, yowza! And she managed to get through the first stage of the IC, dang shame the second stage was something she sucked at. I do think she is just biding her time and waiting her turn, but at least she is making the best of it.
6. Sabrina (3). Wish I could place her higher but other than getting annoyed at Troy she pretty much vanished this episode.
7. Greg "Tarzan" (7). Bought himself another round by voting Leif out, whether or not he was clued in on the voting strategy. Has moved from camp annoyance to sympathic old guy, but Captain Attitude getting in Troy's face about nobility was a good political play under the circumstances, and brought Troy to a reality check moment.
8. Alicia (6). The player who probably balked at Troy's classic upset plan, and yeah she is a dummy. Use Troy to get on top of the game, get rid of him when you no longer need him, she could have placed herself in a potential win position. No guts no glory.
Good-bye Leif (9). Took it like a man.
