Okay. First the "easy" part, my rankings. Which weren't easy as I didn't get to watch again since Friday night, and I believe I'm not going to agree on a few fronts, particularly rating on a few players and tone on some. Oh well, it's my dollar for this post.

Liz - MORN4 - She didn't play the game well enough and only talked the talk at TC. She was an okay choice. However, she was an even choice per the viewers with...

Jasion - OTTN3 - He's a one note failure at this point, no depth. He's the reason Foa Foa is down and out the way the edit goes. He's what Russell needs to overcome, that dead spirit. I get votes for MOR, but this is OTT, no depth, no holding, you see he doesn't deserve to stay, and the others simply chose another to go instead.

Mick - MOR3 - I'm amazed that he's had as much visibility as he has - he's like Earl, whose numbers in V never added up to me with Dreamz and Yau-Man always overshadowing him.

Natalie - MORM3 - She's lazy, unhelping, clear reinforced negative SPV. She's playing Laura perfectly, playing the game, clear positive SPV. That's Mixed. She's whatever Russell calls her, and in this ep it was everything.

Russell - CPM5 - The editors have brought us to a brilliant moment, making you root for someone you clearly don't like. They always include the downright nasty disrespect Russell gives everyone, but forces you to admit your admiration of his spirit and fight. He said what he said when Foa is truly dead. Since I think they all make the endgame, he called a win when no one else would, and the viewers now have a sense it might happen, and want to see it. Mixed Tone, and CP to me.



Brett - INV - Move along.

Dave - MORN3 - I debated an N but he just irritated me here. I didn't see a reason for CP.

Erik - MOR3 - Maybe a 4? I wasn't sure about the V number but he talked a bit about setting up the leader and how they intended to use her.

Kelly - UTR1 - I think she had a confessional. I'm not 100% on that.

Laura - CP4 - I couldn't really give Tone. Officially. But fans know she's duped, that Russell fooled her, outplayed her, and I probably should've given her an N. No one reacts favorably to someone so thoroughly refuted as her trust in Russell.

Monica - MORN3 - Snarky again. There's a pox on this group And it does include...

Shambo - OTTN4 - Dave told her to stop talking, and...she...wouldn't. Worse, she doesn't comment or provide insight about her position. Bad enough she doesn't refute that she feels like a puppet leader. But we also don't hear about her fears, goals, not much.

It is clear the setup is to see Galu as powerful, but a tribe with people you don't want to see win. (Raro) And the down and out Foas became the 4 who beat the 8. (Aitu) This time, though, It won't be Ozzy vs. Yul. It'll be Mick, with Natalie or Shambo getting more votes, or outlasting Russell.

So before the merge, I find myself changing my mind. Cautiously, but I have to swing to me. Numbers wise, strictly, it's Mick, Shambo or Jaison. Content wise, Jaison's felt wrong for a while, and now, I have to lump Shambo the same way. To be a big character and a winner, I wouldn't buy the lack of awareness she showed here. If she wins, I will be upset I let my gut change my mind here, but for winner, I voted Mick. With the merge coming, I have to stick with it. If anyone else won, beyond Mick and Shambo, I will be flabbergasted.
