8) Ron Clark
Odds of winning the challenge:
For the first half of the season, Ron was living up to his pre-game interview comments by dominating puzzles. He proved instrumental to Kama’s success in each one he had a hand in solving.
That changed post-merge. Although he hasn’t been terrible in challenges in the individual game, his performances are nowhere near strong enough to win against players like Joe and Chris.
Chances of winning the game:
The people that voted Ron out are still there, so he would have to pull off some impressive challenge wins to stay in the game. However, if he does make it to the end, he has the resume to win, as long as he’s not sitting beside Rick.
7) Aurora McCreary
Odds of winning the challenge:
The past few episodes have shown us that Aurora is more than a great swimmer. She has a good sense of balance and possesses the strength and determination to outlast her opponents. Although she’s up against challenge beasts, she is talented enough to compete with them and is a sleeper pick to win her way back into the game.
Chances of winning the game:
Aurora has stepped up her gameplay, as she used her Extra Vote advantage masterfully. But besides that moment, it’s hard to pick out another significant move she made. Her social game isn’t strong enough to get her to the end, and if she somehow makes it by winning three immunities in a row, I’m not convinced that the jury would vote for her over Victoria, Rick, Lauren or even Gavin.
