Top contenders: #3. Rizo: His edit might be a bit too focused on his alliance rather than winning for himself. My opinion of him hasn't gone down though, Sophi just went up for me. #2. Sophi: Still getting great content after the swap and integrating with the Uli group. She isn't even necessarily doomed to be on the bottom of that group, since she has a close bond with Savannah. #1. Savannah: Still comes off as a bit overly negative, but the editors are clearly backing her as a great player.

Out of contention: #13. Sophie: She actually got a bit more content this episode but it wasn't anything of substance really. Definitely not the Genevieve episode 4 comeback she needed. #12. Jason: Definitely got a visibility spike this episode, but the editors highlighted his mistakes in a spot where they probably could've given him more credit for surviving over Matt.

Barely hanging on: #11. MC: Will likely be a big threat at the merge since she's great at challenges and has an idol, which I suspect is her only real relevance to the plot of the season. #10. Jawan: I think he made the right move by sticking with Uli this episode but I don't know if the editors want us to think that. He'll probably be stuck at the bottom of the majority and never get out. #9. Kristina: Her personal content this episode was strong but 0 confessionals in ep 2 and 3 is rough.

Dark horses: #8. Sage: I actually think she's the most likely next boot, but if she survives this, then I think her reads on Shannon and Savannah are a great look for her. #7. Shannon: Also in danger of being the next boot, but if she isn't, the adversity she faced is sorta similar to other new era winners. I doubt that's actually what's happening though. #6. Steven: Easily has the best edit from his original tribe, but it's not enough. They're all doomed.

Real contenders with some flaws: #5. Alex: His shear volume of content is the main thing keeping him this high, because I'm not actually seeing much of a winning storyline. Sophi feels like the face of the Kele underdog arc, not him. #4. Nate: Strong edit and game position, but I'm still a bit confused about the focus he got around not relating to the younger players. It is a storyline but it doesn't really feel like a winning one.
