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

3. Gabby Pascuzzi

Though it was Gabby’s push as the David underdog mascot at the merge Tribal Council that started Mike White’s attempt to take out the David alliance, from a results-oriented standing (the only thing we can base power rankings on), Gabby now sits in a better position than before. Even when Gabby’s concerns are voiced, it’s Christian who’s targeted.

That speaks to Gabby’s safety in Survivor: David vs. Goliath; there’s bigger fish to fry. She might not have the best perception as a winner at the Final 11, being considered not a threat while demonstrating the ability to make moves and build a resume is integral to playing this game. The only person to take her vote betrayal offensively was Bi, and she’s been long removed from the game.

With Alison and Kara being free agents, the Goliaths possible to be taken out with advantages and a large number of targets sitting in front of her, Gabby’s a strong third in a great number of potential groups. When the game has been as dynamic as it’s been in David vs. Goliath, you don’t want to be an obvious leader; that makes you a threat.

Christian, Dan, Mike, Angelina, and Davie are all players to get rid of before her. That’s half the players left right there.
