Survivor Island of the Idols episode 4 power rankings: Making the cut

Whether people are quoting themselves or weighing their options, the Survivor: Island of the Idols episode 4 power rankings re-weigh the castaways’ positions.

17. Dean Kowalski

Not only did Dean make a critical error in suggesting splitting the vote against Vince with everybody on the Lairo tribe present in Survivor: Island of the Idols last week, but the “Next Time On” preview showed him blossoming a showmance with Chelsea. When the men are in the minority and Dean has been bumbling, it doesn’t bode well.

16. Noura Salman

A bumble king deserves a bumble queen, and Noura’s numerous unforced errors continue to put her name on others’ lips on Vokai in suggesting easy 8-1 votes. When you’re the default vote, no matter how loyal a number you might be, tribe peace conquers all.

15. Jamal Shipman

The last thing you want to do in Survivor after being marked as a player who’s running the game and being blindsided is continuing to play hard as if you’re still in control. Tommy sussed out Jamal’s power play with the Dan suggestion, putting Jamal in the crosshairs of the tribe leader.

14. Karishma Patel

Not only did Karishma give everyone in the Lairo tribe the Abi-Maria Gomes “they’re dead to me” treatment, but had Vince played his idol, she would have gone home. Of all the Lairo women, she’s in the worst position going forward.
