![]() ![]() But a few cuts and scrapes aren’t going to faze Jeanine. Her first time on national television and she ends up smacking her face in a challenge that leaves a gigantic bruise on her chin. But if Karla ends up siding with the boys, Cassidy could easily become collateral damage.įirstly, poor Jeanine. If that women’s alliance holds together, Cassidy could be set up well going forward. But we know she’s in an alliance with Lindsay and Karla and is focused on being a social butterfly. There wasn’t a lot of Cassidy in this episode, so it’s hard to get an accurate gauge on her game. He’ll need to tighten up his relationships in the coming episodes. It’s never a great sign to have your name on the chopping block, but seeing as none of his tribemates voted against him, he probably wasn’t in as much danger as it appeared. This was a very quiet episode for Owen, which is a little surprising given he was one of the two boot options. She looks like a player who will be tugged between head and heart, which is somewhat worrisome. But unlike Jesse, who seemed to be intentionally setting himself up with options, it felt as if Karla was thrust into a position she might not have wanted. There is a long road ahead of her, so she will eventually need to spread her wings if she wants to fly high.Īnother player in the middle of budding alliances, Karla can go far if she chooses wisely.

Like Jesse, he had tribe members falling over themselves to make alliances with him. He came across as a super-likable guy capable of making friends quickly. There were positive vibes exuding from James throughout the premiere. ![]() He’ll need to form strong bonds to protect him in the long run if he can do that, he could make it deep.

It’s too early to put any merit into alliances, but, regardless, Lindsay seems to have a good mind for the game. If this alliance holds strong, that’s bad news for Ryan and fellow blue-tribe member Gus. This Survivor superfan quickly built an all-women alliance on the Coco tribe while also making progress with James. If anyone is going to cause Ryan a problem, however, it will probably be Lindsay. He has the makings of a great leader and provider for the Coco tribe, so long as he can manage his threat level and avoid becoming a dictator. His creative thinking in the “Sweat” task won his tribe supplies in record time. While other players dug themselves into metaphorical holes, Ryan literally dug his way to success in the first episode.
