7. Kim Spradlin
Being a knowledgeable, game-aware player in Survivor doesn’t necessarily translate to success. Kim Spradlin had Tony Vlachos clocked in a variety of ways in the most recent episode, calling out his role as a double agent and the chaos he was planning to sow. The presumed majority alliance couldn’t vote (or call) him out after he won immunity, so it seemed like Jeremy was a safe, universal vote.
Though Kim might seem on the outs of the conflict, the fact she’s not super connected to those who were on the wrong side of the vote (plus she lost what she thought was a close rival in Sophie) means she’s now a name to be thrown out or targeted. We’re at the Final Eight, and the last thing that winners will want to do is go home on a rock draw.
Kim has had a target on her back since the very beginning, dating back to the poker player’s alliance days of the premiere. She no longer has that tight of a connection with Jeremy after this blindside, and Sarah might be the only person left that could possibly be in her corner.
Again, however, even though Sarah and Tony might have bad blood between them, I don’t think a rock draw possibility could prevent them from coming together on, at least, a revote scenario where a threat like Kim’s game is on the line.
