Maraamu Round 3The biggest changes we are seeing on the Maraamu tribe is the division of power is becoming a bit more equal. Don't get me wrong... Robert and Angelica still hold the high positions. The difference for this round is more people have been able to establish more capital in terms of their spot in the game. These big changes include the following:
Genki/Gabby/Rocky now have an alliance chat, which is the first legitimate alliance chat to leave out Robert/Angelica. This alliance chat makes the event of a tribal council more complicated for Maraamu. Robert/Angelica, by default, would target Gabby if they were to go to tribal due to her being the only one not in a chat with them. Now, the pushback comes from Genki/Rocky likely wanting to target Willow due to Willow coming off as shady when she's really not. This means there will be more of a fight for each individual to save their power moving forward, though I still believe Robert/Angelica come on top unless Genki/Rocky are able to make a good argument. I am so sad that people are seeing Willow as not genuine
I think people aren't used to seeing such nice people in orgs and it's sad. Gabby is really likable on her tribe, her position of power stems from her busy schedule.
Niki has found an idol, and strategically told Robert about this so now Robert trusts Niki so much more now because of this information. Niki having an idol leaves her in a very solid spot on this tribe, and leaves her as someone Robert will protect going into a swap and merge.
Power Rankings (honestly too many ties to distinguish)
1. Robert/Angelica.
2. Genki/Rocky/Niki
3. Willow/Gabby
Aparri Round 3
Ugh the downfall of Logan was TRAGIC! Logan leaving marks a goodbye for a lot of the entertainment we've been experiencing this season.
I guess what did we expect though... the season villain Michael Brady is scary effective and now seems to be playing the game Logan was hoping to play. Definitely he and his sidekick Kyle (sorry Kyle you get sidekick status for this move) are playing a strong game right now. You'd think that they'd get exposed the same way Logan and Kaitlyn got exposed.. but experience is really helping them.
Kaitlyn is the individual I am most sad for in round 3. This is her first game, and she very much got dragged into things that hurt her game. The call between Suzi/Kaitlyn that happened today was so powerful, because Kaitlyn admitted that her following Logan was such a mistake... but all Suzi could do was continue to blame her. I love Kaitlyn so much and I am praying she has the skill to recover. It's so sad I do not wanna lose another newbie round 3... prayer circle has been formed.
Sam and Nikki are playing a very similar game right now, and it's not just because they're both cute/strong blonde women! I think those two have done an amazing job being likable, and working themselves into the core of the tribe. Nikki is blunt, Sam is blunt, Nikki is funny, Sam is funny. I would not be mad if these two formed a power duo and took over the tribe.
Jordan is playing a successful game in laying low. Other people continue to make mistakes and he, by default, survives because he's done nothing wrong. Not much else to say about his game at this time.
Suzi is a great personality, but her game is in a similar spot that Kaitlyn's is. They have both been a pawn in Michael's antics. I really hope Suzi gets smart and doesn't take the easy route in targeting Kaitlyn.
Power Rankings -
1. Michael
2. Kyle
3. Sam
4. Nikki
5. Jordan
6/7. Suzi/Kaitlyn.
Koror Round 2
We are definitely seeing a slight shift on this tribe as well. As a shocker to everybody, Robbie still remains the top dog who is literally a top tier ally for everybody on the tribe. I am in awe of Robbie as a player and wanna align with him even as a prod member LOL!
The biggest shifts we are seeing include the decline of Kevin/Molly and the rise of Trey. It seems to me like Trey is doing a realllly good job building social connections with Olivia and Robbie specifically. Chris remains someone in everyone's top 4 plans, so he's playing a solid middle runner game. Kevin needs to pick up the pace when it comes to talking people, and Molly needs to have a bit more consistency with her communication because she's fallen towards the bottom of the list slightly.
Olivia is towards the top of the tribe right now, and she does a very good job keeping up communication with everybody on her tribe. Her commentary in her prod chat though... is a mess LOL! She's convinced she's everyone's #1, when that spot goes to Robbie. She also thinks Trey has the idol when it's actually Robbie, which honestly I hope Robbie maintains the secret... Bridget is still on the bottom at this point, but the worst part is individuals are saying "ugh I like Bridget but her as the next vote makes sense..." ...... she's joining the prayer circle with Kaitlyn. That's all I have to say.
