3 players in danger (and 3 who should be safe) in Survivor 47 episode 5

3 Survivor players in danger in episode 5
SOL YI (LAVO)
The Lavo tribe is down to four players, and Sol is probably the odd person out. He and King Rome don't get along, and it's doubtful that will change because neither man likes the other.
Rome was on board with taking out Kishan first because he was the most direct threat at the moment, but if Lavo loses immunity again, it's doubtful Rome will keep Sol around.
Teeny has become a bit of a wild card. She has a great social game and seems to have some solid strategic skills, but she's had her game derailed by Rome's presence on her tribe. He's taken over the game, and now, everyone knows Genevieve is on his side. Teeny and Sol would have to find a way to take out Rome, but it probably won't be in this episode.
ANDY RUEDA (GATA)
The Gata tribe has a lot going on internally. Andy continues to be a hindrance around camp, and no one knows exactly what he will do next. His gameplay is not tight, and that makes it tough to trust him. He should be the next one gone.
BUT, Sam Phalen sees Andy as a vote and someone who will do as he's told. Sierra Wright has been Sam's closest ally to this point, but she disagrees with Sam's insistence that Andy will continue to do what they tell him to do. She also doesn't want to be painted as if she were being paired with Sam if they make it to the merge.
The women have talked about having a women's alliance, and it seems like a good idea, but word got back to Sam, and he was upset Sierra didn't tell him.
As if all of this wasn't enough, Sam still doesn't like Anika Dhar and would probably target her. Sierra would be the key in a vote if Gata goes to tribal council. She could take out Andy (or Sam) or swing her vote to Anika and stay attached to Sam.
TIYANA HALLUMS (TUKU)
Gabe Ortis, Sue Smey, and Caroline Vidmar are still in control of the Tuku tribe. The preview for episode 5 indicated that Tiyana Hallums is on the outs with Gabe. Was that shown to mislead the audience? Or, is it a harbinger of things to come? We'll soon find out.
At some point, it seems as if Gabe or Sue may assume too much power within the tribe, and it could come back to haunt them. There is seldom room for two alphas, and eventually, Sue and Gabe might butt heads. They've been able to work toward common ground so far, but who knows where that will lead?
Tiyana turned on her early alliance with TK Foster, and it is doubtful the leaders in the Tuku tribe will fully trust her moving forward, even if there isn't a clash of personalities, although the preview gave every indication that it exists.
