The first half ofSurvivor 44can be best summed up in two words: idol insanity.
Idol paranoia immediately took over at each camp as real and fake idols emerged almost without warning.
Now, after six weeks of idol shenanigans and unfortunate medevacs, the merge is here.
And hes done so without coming on too strong as a strategic threat.
For now, she is sitting in a great position.
Did you see the way he had his whole tribe laughing during tribal?
His personality is so warm and bubbly that he will surely win over new friends quickly.
And I believed she was smart enough not to make their relationship too obvious.
While I still have faith in her, Im not quite so bullish.
Others have noticed theFrattfraternizing, and it only seems to be getting worse in the preview for next week.
Carolyn ( from 7)There is no doubt about it: Carolyn is absolute TV gold.
Whats more, she is much savvier and plugged in than her fellow castaways would like to admit.
I dont think Carolyn has finished proving people wrong just yet.
Jaime ( from 15)The self-proclaimed Plant Lady is certainly a vibrant and positive personality.
So why is she so low on my rankings?
Well, her confessionals have shown her to have a poor read on the dynamics.
I sense a rude awakening in her future.
And simply basing things on the edit, I suspect Matt is the more likely target.
Lauren ( from 16)Putting Lauren this low is a shame because she hasnt done anything wrong.
But she is so underedited that I cant see her winning this season.
We barely know anything about her or her relationships other than that she has an extra vote.
Fingers crossed she will rise up in the post-merge.
And he got his way with the Claire vote.
But that bro-down with Brandon foreshadowed an epic downfall.
Honestly, I cant wait.
