3. Rachel LaMont

With an idol in her pocket that no one knows about, Rachel LaMont has a huge advantage over everyone else in the game. She has a great feel for the game, so it would be a stunning turn of events if she was caught off guard and voted out with it unplayed. She needs to absolutely continue to keep her idol secret.

Her name was bandied about for a while, but bigger threats have emerged. She's played along with most of those votes and seems happy to continue that trend for a few more tribal councils. If she gets the opportunity to turn the game by playing her idol, she could have a great chance to win the game.

2. Sue Smey

Sue is ranked this high only because no one sees her as a threat in the game. Yes, she has performed well in challenges, especially considering that she's 59 years old. Otherwise, she's done nothing except be Gabe's lapdog and complain about Kyle, one of the nicer players this season.

At this point, every other player remaining in the game probably hopes they are sitting next to Sue in the final three. She's not the only one who hasn't done much, but she's shown no strategic play except to protect Gabe. One of the most interesting storylines for episode 11 will be her reaction to Caroline's and Kyle's betrayal of Gabe. She's sure to blame the latter, but the former played a bigger role in getting out Sue's closest ally.

1. Caroline Vidmar

Nightmare Fuel
“Nightmare Fuel” – Castaways must choose wisely as they split themselves into pairs at a crucial multi-staged immunity challenge. The deck is stacked against castaways when they embark on a journey that can drastically affect their game. Then, different names are tossed out at camp as paranoia ensues, leading to another crazy tribal council, on SURVIVOR, Wednesday, Nov. 13 (8:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with / CBS

Caroline Vidmar has been more than willing to sit back and use Gabe and Kyle as shields. She did a good job of protecting Gabe whenever his name was thrown out over the last few episodes, and she timed it well when she decided to betray him.

She still has Kyle as a shield, and she knows people want Genevieve gone, too. In her mind, she is probably safe for at least two more votes. She will need to scramble to save her alliance with Sue, but it won't surprise me if she's able to smooth things over.

She's not safe yet, but she may be in the driver's seat and if she can arrange for the right people to sit next to her in the final three, she could very well win Survivor 47.
