Okay ratings time.

FOA FOA
Ashley - MOR4
- No personal insight on her strategy, but she was playing the game. Her gameplay definitely saved her, but the complex moments with the vote played out between Mick, Jaison, and Russell H. She was not part of that.
Ben - OTTNN5
- Completely obnoxious jackass. Negative force around camp, argues with everyone. The only chance he had to come off positive was with the flint and even then he was an arrogant prick, "No one else can do this because they are all stupid."
Jaison - OTTP5
- Had some strategic moments, but no personal complexity. I almost want to give him OTTM5 because he was going to quit if Ben didn't leave, but that was apparently a bluff he was going with that no one wanted to call him on. Not quite strategic enough to earn a CPP.
Liz - UTRP1
- Very quiet, had very little speaking moments. But I think she earns a P for the positive SPV from Shambo for being a tough chick, who's a huge positive force in the game and I think her opinion can influence the edits.
Mick - MORP4
- Another boring, positive episode for Mick. I didn't see the complexity that others are mentioning. Just making an alliance doesn't mean he's complex. He did discuss the vote openly with Jaison/Russell H., but he didn't give personal insight on it in a confessional or in front of the other two. He basically left the fight up to Jaison and Russell H. to decide. He still earns a P from me, he's definitely being portrayed as the positive leader force for Foa Foa, in contrast to a mixed, almost a bumbling fool leader now that Russell S. is turning into.
Natalie - UTR2
- Didn't get much from her. She was present for discussion of the vote with Jaison/Ashley, but just listened. All we really heard from her was that she was trying to avoid getting hit if Ben or Jaison swung at the other.
Russell H. - CPN5
- Another complex episode for Russell. He was the one who ended up deciding the vote. We saw the conflict over Ben vs Ashley and we got the personal insight on how voting off Ben would affect his gameplay and how voting off Ashley would affect his gameplay, something that Mick/Jaison lacked.

GALU
Brett - INV
- Nonexistent again.
Dave - UTR1
- Comments on Russell S's bad move in taking the comfort over the obvious choice of a tarp. Almost got a N for the yoga negativity but his comment on the tarp balances it out. But I don't think there's a mixed UTR rating, so he just gets UTR.
Erik - UTR1
- Like Dave, good comment on the tarp but gets negativity from Shambo for the yoga scene. Balances out and like Dave, if there is an UTR mixed rating, I'll change to that.
John - UTR1
- One little confessional, but that's it.
Kelly - UTR1
- Finally gets a bit of airtime with treemail and Jeff commenting on her being unstoppable in the challenge. Again like Dave/Erik, her positive comments from Jeff balance out the lazy yoga comment.
Laura - UTRN2
- Unlike the other yoga players, she doesn't get anything positive to balance it out. She just appears to be lazy and no comments to take away from the negativity of the yoga scene.
Monica - UTRN1
- Negativity was all we got from her with the yoga scene. Not good for her that she doesn't have a confessional defending yoga being good for them, just negative SPV from Shambo and Foa Foa.
Russell S. - MORN2
- Makes a poor decision on the comfort over the tarp and the tribe called him out for it in confessionals. Poor defense of the decision, claiming he was trying to keep the women happy, while everyone else on the tribe found it to be a terrible decision. Not complex enough for me, so he earns the MORN rating.
Shambo - CPP4
- Trying to work her way into the other tribe in case it keeps going south for her in Galu. Good for her that we are seeing her trying to make inroads to the other tribe, shows she is aware of what the game entails and is aware of her own setbacks. Great positive SPV from almost everyone in Foa Foa, they wanted her to join them because she is such a strong positive force for Galu.
Yasmin - UTR1
- Just enough from her post-challenge and talked about a lot in Tribal Council, despite not being there.

Winner's List
Shambo - The only shining star choice for Galu and I think she's got a fantastic shot at winning the game. Self aware and thinking one step ahead of everyone else in the game.
Russell H. - Definitely a winner pick still after the first three episodes. It worries me that he isn't getting a cooldown after 3 huge visibility episodes, but he might just be so involved in everything that he's always going to be visible.
Ashley - Something is going on with her edit that needs to be noted and I think she is still a viable winner.
Elizabeth - Like Ashley, there's something to watch with her and she just can't be eliminated yet.
Mick - Still very bland, but I just don't see a reason to eliminate him yet. But he's definitely not a top pick. Like Monica/Jaison, one episode and he could be knocked off the list.

Newly eliminated
Jaison/Monica - See my post before, this episode was terrible for them.

And everyone else is still eliminated.

Woops, my mistake on where Monica's N comes from. She gets negative SPV from Erik for the club med comment, she's seen rolling around with Laura in the shelter and Shambo painted her tribe as negative and lazy, reflecting poorly on Monica. Nothing positive to dispute it, so she gets the N.
