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

9. Jason Linden

What seems like nothing short of a Survivor miracle, Jason has found himself outside of the conversation of who to vote out. Though his closest ally, Noura, is a strong candidate for the next player to be voted out of Vokai, there are much bigger targets ahead of him that have the potential to be voted out before him, and he’s more than prepared to work with anybody in the game, including with the Lairo tribe.

8. Elaine Stott

Despite being the focus of the Island of the Idols premiere, we haven’t heard much of Elaine lately. Even with Lairo going to Tribal Council this past week, Elaine’s input was rather muted. That is a potential indicator that she goes far and provides the traditional late-game journey edit befitting LGBT Kentuckians as of modern Survivor editing practice.

7. Elizabeth Beisel

After a very twist-heavy premiere, Elizabeth offered great insight into the Lairo tribe’s plans and managed to leverage her position to move the voting target away from her interests. She sees the potential in working with Tom down the road and respect his father figure status on the tribe, and she’s part of a strong alliance of women that can run the game.
