3. Troyzan Robertson (4)

How does Troyzan not move up after his performance in episode 3 of Game Changers? His shoplifting idol-grabbing skills were absolutely on-point after he found the clue at the Tavua camp. It couldn’t have been executed with more stealth and perfection. Now he has an idol and no one on his tribe has a clue about it. What’s more, he’s not particularly on the outs with anyone on the tribe just yet. Looking at the edit as well, the way he’s talking about his fellow players definitely reads like we might be looking at a slow-burn for his character to become one of the season’s biggest villains.

2. Ozzy Lusth (3)

Admittedly, the the tribe swap could have turned out poorly for Ozzy given the divisions. Not only did he separate from Brad and Sierra Dawn-Thomas, the two people he had entered a soft alliance with, but then he went to the Tavua tribe with Cirie. However, the first reason why he ranks second is the aforementioned fact that he and Cirie put aside their differences to align with one another for the time being. That’s a lot of experience and savvy teamed up together and that could be dangerous. But what’s working in Ozzy’s favor more than anything is having to go to Tavua and start from scratch. Is there anyone better to have on your tribe in that situation than Ozzy? No, there most certainly isn’t.

1. Brad Culpepper (6)

Yeah, I’m as surprised as you are that this is a thing. However, it feels like Brad on new Mana is wielding more power than anyone remaining in Survivor Game Changers right now. Not only was the decision to vote out Caleb ultimately his plan, but he also flipped Tai to vote out Caleb and make it unanimous. This wasn’t just flipping someone that was on the fence—this was arguably Caleb’s best friend in the game. So to manipulate the situation so masterfully on the beach when discussing the vote with Tai was really impressive. If there’s two things I wouldn’t have ever predicted coming into Game Changers, they would likely be that Brad Culpepper tops any Power Rankings and that he also loves antiquing and interior decorating.
