So Alex went home. I did expect his boot to come slightly later but I never fully got winner vibes. I felt like I was forced to have him as a contender just due to his sheer amount of content.

Out of contention: #8. Kristina: This was probably Kristina's biggest episode yet but it didn't really change my opinion of her. She may be portrayed positively personality wise but game wise she's shown to be out of the loop and consistently unsuccessful in what she's trying to do. #7. Sophie: Nothing can really make up for her pre-merge invisibility, even though she's becoming a more prominent character with an actual storyline now.

Dark horses but losing hope: #6. Jawan: I feel like he's going to get the brunt of the blame for fumbling the bag and letting the Savannah/Rizo/Soph trio dominate. This was set up in the pre-merge and has seemingly come back in these past two episodes. #5. Sage: Rough episode for her. I feel like she really went against her gut with the last couple votes and it's probably going to cost her the game. #4. Steven: Could easily be below Sage and Jawan. He's been too middle of road all season.

Real contenders: #3. Soph: Sucks to have to do this but I think the fact that we didn't see much of her perspective on Alex going home is a bad sign. I kinda see her as a losing finalist now. #2. Rizo: Barely edges out Soph due to getting a lot of strategic credit yet again. #1. Savannah: She still has her flaws but I don't think this episode made her look any worse. She just hasn't had a full redemption yet but she still has time. I can kinda see her winning a f3 with Soph and Rizo atp.
