3. Sophie Clarke
Isn’t it great to see a great orator like Sophie in a well-positioned spot heading into the Survivor: Winners at War tribe swap? She’s better connected than you would think, especially considering she has a closer-than-expected relationship with the likes of Parvati. Her ability to cross the line or gather a small group to work together to stay coordinated is underrated, and she’s solid on the puzzle portions of challenges this season.
The fact that she holds Kim’s fate in her hands with an idol half may be an interesting wrinkle, though.
2. Michele Fitzgerald
Once again, I think Michele being one of the most compelling characters so far in Survivor: Winners at War, as well as being reconnected with her ex-boyfriend, Wendell, bodes well for her at the tribe swap. She has a confirmed outside connection and has influenced votes alongside bigger shields and still maintains a good relationship with those she targets. I feel like she’s destined for a long game.
1. Sandra Diaz-Twine
With just one more round of safety with her temporary Hidden Immunity Idol, there’s no doubt in my mind that Sandra is the most secure in her position within the game and from a vote protection standpoint. The one time she was voted out of her three times playing (what an incredible statement), it came from a swap screw where she was heinously outnumbered.
I think she will have a good idea of how to play her hand, no matter what cards she draws.
