Survivor David vs. Goliath power rankings: Episode 9 resets the game

5. Alison Raybould

Of those who were in something of a power position before that crazy Tribal Council, Alison might be in the weirdest spot. She’s low on the Goliath totem pole, but she has few crossover partners with the Davids. Her closest ally on that side is Gabby, and even though the two formed something of a bond late in the Tiva tribe’s life, they haven’t coordinated on a move together.

That might change if she crosses over in this coming episode, but regardless, Alison is in an okay position. Even though she won the first Individual Immunity of the season, she hasn’t elevated her threat level to the Davids. There are plenty of targets they need to get rid of first if they are to take out the Goliath majority, and Alison’s low-level status may help her pull off a move down the road.

Let’s just suppose that Nick, Davie and Christian are trying to usurp power in the game as they take out the Goliath majority. With just four women in the game, Alison, Gabby and Kara (who’s looking for a new partnership post-Dan’s implosion) might be primed to go with the vote and eventually take a swipe later in the voting cycle.

Of all the Goliath women, Alison’s in the best position at this present moment.
