Episode 04 22. Ben: GTFO! You are a waste of space. You shouldn't have agreed to play if you couldn't put in the time even if Jeff forced you into it.
21. Rudy: I just can't get invested in him. He bores me.
20. Cirie: She's just another person I can't get invested in. I love that she's eager, but I just think everyone else is more interesting and bringing something to the table.
19. Dave Ball: I know he's busy with some RL shit, but still. He's boring and needs to GTFO.
18. John: Definitely starting to impress me, especially given he was in a precarious position his first weekend here. I just like the other people on his tribe a bit more, but I can see him climbing if he continues to work it.
17. Gina: Her turning on Frank was kind of eeek. She's such a worry wart and I feel bad for her. I want to see her get a little more aggressive and since I think she'll survive Exile over Ben, this will hopefully be the push she needs.
16. Sean: Him in the challenges this season so far is just lol. Maybe he's still burnt out from Venezuela? IDK, but he just seems more reserved this time around. His speech to Frank about keeping him in the game was really nice though and I like that he shows he's willing to let the past be the past. Is this all strategy from Sean though?
15. Paloma: She's playing a good game so far and I think her relationship with NaOnka is really interesting given their early tension. I'm watching closely to see how she navigates this.
14. Patricia: I still think she is a terrible person, but she has game and I'm interested to see what people do with her. It's like they all talk about not wanting to work with her long-term, but it's almost like they have no choice right now. I can easily see her flying UTR and going far in this because of the hubris of some of the other players.
13. Erica: She thinks she's in a much better position than she is, but that's typical of FaWa. She continues to deliver in entertainment though and you gotta love her for that at the very least.
12. Katie: I'm extremely impressed with Katie. Having no prior experience with her and not knowing much of her Stranded history, girl is knocking it out of the park. Her realizing the batshit crazy women's thing is really bad news is sort of interesting. I look forward to seeing what she does with it exactly.
11. Mia: A fall from grace, especially given that Ben is likely toast. But she deserves it for that disgusting shit about keeping Erinn in over Brenda. It's one thing if Erinn was active, but she wasn't. I actually think she's lost a lot of control here, but she can easily get back into it if she plays her cards right.
10. Sarah: HUGE jump. I loved her in Venezuela but I think she's better here. Her cunty attitude reminds me so much of me in Madagascar.
Her public feud with Rudy was amazing and she is extremely in the right there. Rudy, you are extremely self-righteous and gross. Kindly fuck off. And I hope Sarah gets to put the nail in his coffin again. G E T it, gurl.
9. Ami: I love. What a fierce bitch. I think her wanting to work with Frank is hilarious and the tension between the Satan's angels or whatever they call themselves is going to put her in an interesting place. Like Katie, I look forward to seeing how she navigates that.
8. Willard: I can't help but find him endearing. I was worried how losing Erinn would work for him only because I think they would have complimented each other well, but he still has footing with the new kids. I really hope he and Brenda can work something out, because they would be a hot, hot alliance.
7. Taj: Just an epic character all around, every single time. Her paranoia and meltdowns are what make Taj so great. Her confronting Frank with the shit Teresa told her is hilarious and it's going to put a wedge between them at some point. I fear for her longevity if she spirals out of control, but I think she's going to regain her composure and I hope she does because losing Taj so early would suck.
6. Christy: Not surprised to see how well she's doing. I like her position in the tribe right now. She's in the crux of it all and people really seem to like her for the most part, and that's not hard to see why. I think she's a good mix of somewhat entertaining here but also a seasoned player. I think she'll breakout more in a few rounds, but playing very sleuth right now.
5. Brenda: She seemed to take her vote out a little weird, almost like she didn't expect to be lied to. You are one of the best players girl...of course there's going to be a huge target on your back! She can rebound though and I think Degei is the perfect tribe for that to happen. She can easily guide them on the win in addition to forming solid relationships with the core alliance over there. I see no reason why she can't outplace Dave and John at the very least.
4. Frank: Frank is legendary. He is so aggressive and I fucking love it. He is my favorite of the new kids (I don't count Gregg as one) and he delivers on all aspects. I love him pulling out the fake immunity shit and putting the fear into people. It did wonders for him because now people seem to want to work with him. Keep going, Frank the Tank!
3. Teresa: lol this bitch is so crazy and I can't help but root for her. She is edging closer to that blindside, but she has an idol so I hope she at least plays it right. She is by far the most OTT, batshit crazy person in this game right now. I hope she's not an early casualty, I'll cry. Even beyond that though, she's a boss bitch even if people are beginning to realize it. She got her way last night despite being paranoid over Frank.
2. Gregg: I love him. He's just funny. Voting out Ben because he's "Black" is such a Gregg move.
In a game with crazy gameplay, you need someone who brings the laffos and that's him. But beyond that trolling, there's gameplay and a lot of people don't realize that. I love him.
1. NaOnka: I'm just all around impressed the most with her. I'm hot/cold on her outside of Stranded and especially given her past history here, I never would have predicted she would be bringing it this hard. She is working all angles and I love how she's willing to work with people she doesn't necessarily like, because that's what a GREAT gameplayer does and is totally something I would capitalize on. And she's funny as shit with her constant bitching about things. Keep on going, girl. Keep on going.
