Survivor Island of the Idols episode 2 power rankings: Sensational Feeling 9

4. Kellee Kim

Part of our positioning for Kellee is based on the knowledge provided in this week’s promo, which can both raise her level of game equity while playing into her pedigree and advantages heading into Survivor. Though it may put a bit of a target on her back if she plays it wrong, she’s done a lot of legwork to have others empathize for her.

3. Tommy Sheehan

We didn’t get a lot of Tommy in the premiere, but it was hard not to notice the stark comparisons in the edit to Nick Wilson. It seems like he has a great one-on-one relationship with so many players early, and seems to be a friend to all. He can use that social equity down the line to go pretty much anywhere he wants.

2. Missy Byrd

Easily the most decently dope player out there, Missy has found herself in a core duo with another strong woman in a group alliance of compelling, awesome women. Her social game is great, and she has an upbeat attitude that will work well to get others to be on her side. It’s a huge morale boost that will permeate throughout the tribe.

1. Jack Nichting

Though he is the youngest on his tribe, Jack proved himself to be essential to the Vokai tribe. He was hanging off a rope and pulling up a large portion of his tribe in the Immunity Challenge, which proved to be an important part in keeping them close and eventually winning. Plus, he seems to be the closest to Tommy, who seems poised for longevity.
