Survivor David vs. Goliath power rankings: Episode 10 prepares for trouble

7. Alison Raybould

Of all the Goliath players seemingly interested in flipping to the Davids, Alison seemed like she was the likeliest to flip and actually provide her vote to the underdog group due to her connections with Gabby. However, the latest Tribal Council puts her in a weird spot. It’s a very personal thing to take a player’s vote, and now it puts Nick in an awkward spot when it comes to bringing Alison over.

On the other hand, she’s been pushing to make the big move to flip over to the Davids for a while, and now it seems like the perfect time for that opportunity to do so. The Goliaths are in disarray after failing to vote out their primary target twice in a row, and at a tied 5-5 balance of Davids and Goliaths, she can vote against her former starting tribe and establish worth within her new alliance.

An unfortunate part of her opportunity to do so, as evidenced in the previous episode, is that she’s very prone to following directions and sticking to the plan. That kind of gameplay does not bode well at the end of the game, and it certainly makes it hard for her to be the top of either alliance. It will be interesting to see if she follows through within this next two hours.
