Round 2
Svinoy
6. Stephannie
Steph's in a tough spot, and that's part of why I have her at the bottom, but largely I have the least interest in her because she is demonstrating a complete unwillingness to work outside of her old alliance. Like, she has no real reason to distrust Flicka and Rebecca. They did nothing on old Svinoy to earn that. And yet, she doesn't want to work with them because she doesn't think they're trustworthy. It's like, they're better than working with people you've never talked to. Suck it up and figure it out. Also she's heaving sighs of relief over not having to be on a tribe with Nate like it would be the worst thing in the world. He's been replaced. He's a blank slate. If you didn't ignore him before the swap he'd have been a good ally. Your loss. Also she might be targeting Rocky. Booooo!
5. Liliana
I'm kind of indifferent on Liliana. Of the three Goddesses she was the least interesting to me. Cass and Jess had more personality. I want to like her though, so I hope she can pull something here.
4. Rebecca
I was kind of meh on Rebecca but her confessionals occasionally have me cracking up. She's smarter than she's been letting on (although she hasn't quite realized that she should be trusting Flicka over Steph) I think she could emerge as a strong player from this tribe.
3. Yau Man
Yau's looking a lot less dumb for snagging that idol. Other than JP he's the safest person in the game right now. His idol has the potential to make this tribe highly interesting. Although all his tribemates are highly wary of him so it's likely that he might not be int he best position socially. Still, he's so dang confident and there's no telling what he's going to do. Gotta love it.
2. Flicka
I love Flicka. I don't really know why. I guess I'm just a sucker for an underdog. I get the frustration some of her tribemates had with her short messages because I've been on the receiving end of some frustratingly short PMs myself, but she's sweet and smarter than she lets on. I hope she makes the right decision in the coming rounds. I'd love to see her flip on Steph and/or Rebecca. Vengeful Flicka would be amazing.
1. Rocky
Rocky has always been hilarious to me. I'm glad he's picking up activity. I hope it's enough though. Really as far as gameplay goes he's not the strongest, but he's highly entertaining and needs to stick around.
Mykines
6. JP
Who? I want to like him. His application and interview were stellar. But he's given one less than stellar confessional so far and as far as I can tell he's just in Cecelia's pocket. That idol he's got makes him slightly interesting but other than that I'm not impressed right now. Prove me wrong, JP!
5. Stacy
Stacy just hasn't popped to me. I don't really have much to say. She's not horrible but she's not all that interesting right now either. She was ranked super low by her own tribe and doesn't even consider the ramifications. Take the hint, Stacy. You need to do something.
4. Papa Smurf
I'm a bit biased since I know him IRL, but he's had a few moments that have cracked me up so far. His word usage is just amusing, like calling Mookie a Rapscallion. Other than that though, he's got a ways to go. He's in a bad spot socially and he has the potential to pick it up so I hope he does soon. His selection of Nate to join them on nuMykines was pretty smart, though. So he's got the potential to do well strategically. Come on, Smurfy, dazzle us. I'm also waiting for that chaos.
3. Jessica
Jessica's kind of taken a back seat on this tribe in comparison to old Mykines, which is definitely best for her. She was smart enough to see that her high placement in the ranking could put a target on her back and made a pretty good move in picking Cecelia to counterbalance her ranking. I also love that she might be working with Cece for the time being. That is quite the power duo.
2. Nate
I'm so glad we replaced Nate. He's such a goofball and the perfect Nate, really. So many things And he's been doing a fantastic job making up for the lost ground that old Nate cost him. Imagine where he'd be now if he'd have been here from the beginning. I think he'll be here for the long haul.
1. Cecelia I've been off and on with Cecelia in terms of liking her. I thought for sure she'd end up overplaying and get herself voted out once the swap came, and maybe that'll happen later, but for now she has been a social and strategic queen and has yet again pulled herself to the top. Color me impressed.
Hestur
6. Candice
I guess I should like Candice more but she is kinda dull to me. I'm probably a bit offput by the fact that she's got so much more experience than the rest of the players. Still seems a bit unfair to me. She's been handling herself really well though.
5. Adam
Everything about Adam is likable. It amazes me how he's able to write so little in his confessionals and still have me chuckling and invested. He's got this aloof nature about him that just gets me. I don't even care if he's kind of a strategic dud.
4. Anthony
Anthony is smart, this much I can tell. He's kind of drowned out by some other players right now but I think he's got the potential to be so much more. He's not a pocket vote like a few others in this game and has his own mind when it comes to the game. A very solid UTR threat, in my opinion
3. Mookie
Mookie might be the biggest dud strategy-wise when it comes to this tribe but man he delivers in the entertainment department. He's so laid-back and such a doof. I'm holding out for him to somehow come out and surprise everyone with some epic move somewhere along the line. I expect he'll go far though, just based on his social skills alone.
2. Cassandra
I wasn't completely on board the Cassandra train initially, but I can't dislike her now. Really, her last confessional sold me. Talking about it being her goal to be seen as #2 to Jessica so that she had a shield to hide behind. The girl is a solid player in every aspect. This whole tribe really is stacked.
1. Penner
This is a no brainer. Penner is my favorite in the game by a long shot. The guy is so charismatic and strategic. He's doing so well for himself. I don't even think he's in any danger on this tribe despite it all. Besides the fact that this is such a strong tribe, there are so many distractions on it that I don't think he'd be in any danger if he did go to tribal.
