11. Michael Yerger

At this point in the game, even Michael seems to be exhausted over his play. After playing Igor, the f—ing stick from Survivor Micronesia, Michael is out of options and out of trustworthy friends in this game.

From the moment he played his first idol, Michael has been playing an individual game masquerading as a team-based game. He voted out both Stephanie and James, even when voting alongside them would produce just as futile an effort. Currying favor with Kellyn and Desiree, neither of those players have his back at the merge, and both wanted to get him out this episode.

Unless he goes on the most historic immunity run (both through challenges and idols), Michael Yerger has painted the largest target on his back. His social game is not that strong, especially considering he was the only one in the game to give Wendell a vote. That will galvanize the majority not to trust him, and even Malolo voted against him this past episode.

I like Michael, and he’s perhaps my favorite teenager to play Survivor. However, his days are numbered.
