Survivor Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers power rankings: Episode 9

#1. Devon Pinto

On all accounts, Devon Pinto is in the safest position of the remaining players of Survivor season 35, Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers. He has the confidence of Ryan and Lauren from the Hustlers days, Ben on a secret allegiance over knowledge of Ryan’s Idol and the game-willingness to make a big move that will benefit his game. Plus, he and Ashley have been rock solid since the nuLevu days.

Most importantly, Devon has never received a vote from any player in the game and hasn’t demonstrated a profile of a player that needs to be voted out. He’s not like Carter from Survivor Philippines; he knows the gameplay happening around him, who are making themselves to be a big target and shifting his partnerships along each step of the game.

If Devon wins this game, it’ll be due to the strength of his social game, his subtle game awareness and not rocking the boat in a sea full of boat-rockers. That said, if he pulls off a flip alongside the Healers, it could come back and bite him hard. Regardless, that shouldn’t happen in the next two Tribal Councils.
