Ratings After A Second Watch:



Ashley - Definitely INV, despite positive challenge commentary from Jeff.
Brett - With this many people in the game, getting a TCQ or confessional keeps you from being INV, even though he's basically right on the line.
Dave - His rating was weird to me, because he was OTT in his goofiness, but we got insight, and I can't even tell what his tone was supposed to be. So MOR is like a default.
Elizabeth - See Ashley. Gee editors. Thanks for removing the last two non-Mick edits that fit Edgic guidelines somewhat.
Erik - He was cocky and negaitve, and like Dave, he was OTT and complex, so again, MORN doesn't feel right, but it's better than anything else.
Jaison - MOR more than UTR because he got two confessionals about things. Still N though, although I could see an M, given the positivity of his first confessional and Jeff saying his height was a big advantage.
John - UTRN because he was made to look like a buffoon without really talking too much.
Kelly - She wasn't all that important. UTR.
Laura - Same deal as Kelly. UTR.
Mick - All narration, really. Bland MOR.
Monica - Hardly important beyond sucking miserably in the challenge. UTRN.
Natalie - I never though I'd ever be giving this rating, but Natalie's screentime and her confessional were all about her playing the game and showing that she's playing the game. She'll probably wind up MOR, but I'm giving her a CP.
Russell H. - Like Dave and Erik, he got a weird mix of OTT and CP that I have to give an MOR to. Man, this episode's editting sucked.
Russell S. - I'm giving him a CP because we got into his head kinda, I guess. He could be MOR. And the M is because he's right about Monica and he was a conquering hero thinking only about his tribe, but he was kinda arrogant.
Shambo - OTTN for failing at the challenge, failing at keeping the idol clues to herself, and failing to secure her chicken.
Yasmin - OTTN for being lazy and napping all the time, and then directly contradicting what we were shown during her TCQ.

Winner:

Mick - Meh. Such a boring winner. It's Marcus all over again, only without the fun characters surrounding him.

People Who Could Win If Mick is the Traditional Merge Boot:

Russell H. - We know him and we know his story. Yeah, he's super-negative and visible, but if the biggest villain ever wins, would they really tone him down?
Jaison - He's almost out for me, but he's still got at least some potential in my eyes.
Ashley - Given the shittiness of the editting, a single INV isn't enough to make me write someone off.
Russell S. - Same as Ashley, and his INV wasn't as solid.
Liz - Same as Ashley/Russell S., but definitely weaker going into the INV.
