Mike caused quite the ruckus last episode. The teams tried to ignore it through the reward challenge. And were distracted by Rodney's whining about not getting squat on his b-day. But ultimately, Carolyn is deciding people's fate, and just like she denied Rodney's b-day reward request, she denied Jacked for a Reason a chance to finish in the pack for this season's pool. The alliance major had to finally cannibalize itself.
Tyler was too much of a threat. He wasn't disliked by anyone. He was smart strategically. He couldn't quite win immunity, and as soon as the rest of the alliance needed to pick one of their own, he was a juicy choice.
Carolyn, meanwhile, is deftly making decisions and including just those that she needs at the time. Now no one even knows that she still has an idol, and she is a swing vote to pretty much all the remaining players. Oh, and she is winning immunity challenges. Pretty impressive. Who will she take to the end with her though?

Doug's Power Rankings:
This Survivor season's power rankings are about as reliable as Doug (me) posting up the blog promptly after an episode.
Douche of the Week:- Maximillion - Catching up in points fast with Carolyn winning immunity and Mike correctly playing his idol. Arguably they have the TWO favorites to win.
- Jennicide - No change from last week.
- Livin' On A Prayer - Sierra won 2 points, but Will lost them right back. The only thing that might bump this team to 2nd is that the jury points increase each week.
- Jacked For A Reason - Rodney...
Rodney gets my vote for his b-day temper tantrum.

Great episode for Maximillion, but I wonder if the fact Mike and Carolyn are in the second chance voting means anything... Definitely Rodney for my DoW.
I was curious of that myself. Hopefully the producers weren't dumb enough to reveal something like that on the website. I guess we'll find out.
(If this posts 3 times it's because I'm on a plane to Mexico and the internet sucks.)
ithink maximusmilly are going to win
i hope anyway
all the other teams are too awful and dont deserve
2nd chance vote: i dont think its a spoiler
too obv
if they didnt include them that might be spoiler
in a weird way i think it makes it more likely one of them wins
dont really like either one but better than others
mike normal, kinda hypocrite like most of us, religious when suits purpose like most of usa
carolyn selfish/bitchy/good player
if mike gets to end with mama c he wins imo
mike>c>rest>dan
rod is idiot
sierra is sheep
will is still in game somehow
dan is nut low human + perma dow
Agreed for Rodney as DoW. "Worst birthday EVER!" Wah! Poor baby has to play Survivor on his birthday. I don't doubt it's hard out there but it seems like they often forget that it is a choice, an honor, and temporary.
Doug - I loved your analysis of Mama C. She is like a mob boss at this point. Tyler was too well-regarded and as you mentioned, the only one who knew about her idol. So she offed him.
I am surprised TheGraveWolf doesn't like her - I think she's a great player, an entertaining player and a big favorite to win. And finally it appears we have a favorite in the pool - the zombies of Maximillion! Mike is likely to go next week - will that and a Carolyn win give them enough points?
Well said by Melissa. Rodney obvious DoW.
Who are you guys voting for? Are they just going to take the 10-highest vote-getters of each gender and make that the cast? My votes and power rankings:
Women
1. Carolyn
2. Sabrina
3. Kelley
4. Tasha
5. Peih-Gee
6. Teresa T-Bird Cooper
7. Mikayla
8. Kelly
9. Shirin
10. Stephanie
Men
1. Vytas
2. Joe
3. Jeremy
4. Keith
5. Spencer
6. Stephen
7. Andrew
8. Woo
9. Jeff
10. Max
I'd love to see Kass again. Intelligent, crafty, good at reading people, dangerous. I think she tops the women's list.
Spencer for the men for similar reasons.
Kass would crack my top-10 "never again" list. Her "vote for me" was convincing but I can't forget how loathsome, selfish and deliberately obnoxious she was on the show. I also believe she's a lousy player at the end of the day because she's so mean (read: can't get final votes).
