Survivor David vs. Goliath power rankings: Episode 8 shifts the power

8. Kara Kay

Though she reconnected with Dan at the merge, there’s not a lot to like about her position in the game and her control in stirring the pot. So many of her story possibilities extend to the safety of her with Dan, her wanting to see Dan win, and keeping Dan’s secrets intact. Meanwhile, her main allies are either Angelina (on the outs), members of Strike Force or targets of Strike Force.

If the secret alliance was to fold and Goliaths do reform a strong bond, then maybe Kara can spin it up and make a deep run. She’s been pretty shielded from a negative edit despite being on the outs of the Natalia vote and wasn’t too negatively tied to Dan when his name was being thrown out. Elizabeth did blow her cover, however, so it seems like the Davids know just how close she is to Dan.

We do get a lot of Kara content when it’s not necessary, so she doesn’t seem like the kind of character that will just fade away or not go out without a fight. I’m just not sure where Kara’s story shines for herself without Dan if she’s not in a “strategy” much with others.
