***EDITED IN - I JUST REALIZED ALL OF THESE SAID "ALL OUT 3" UNTIL F12 WTF WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME?!? I DIDNT NOTICE! I am so OCD about typos that I've gone back and edited every single post to say "All Out 4" instead.**

Edgic for episode 1! The top 3 contenders were easy for me, but for the 4th spot I had a hard time choosing between Kyle/Angelica. Ultimately, I chose Kyle because Angelica is slightly more of a character than Kyle, and characters always have an uphill battle to win. I also think Angelica is getting the slight "Amanda Kimmel" edit this round, though I am hoping for our sakes this will 100% change.

Aparri has the most "characters" this round, with 5/8 players either being CP or OTT. Most of these players have a tone to their edit as well. This is crazy to me, though it can be argued that Koror is the clear fan fav tribe.

Koror has a pretty typical edit, with one player being a CP player, a ton of middle runners, and a few UTR players. Since middle runners typically do well at merge, this is a tribe to look out for. There was really no negative editing on this tribe, making them the tribe we want to root for.

Maraamu has the most divisive edit, with one clear CP, Angelica with the "Kimmel" edit (doing great, but fighting with the CP player to get the winner edit), and everyone else not really making an impact on the overall narrative. Joe runs slightly negative due to the narrative painted of him before tribal, with comments including "he didn't stick around and cheer like the rest of us did."

Round 2!

Round 3!

[Charity]

Episode 4/5!


The write up below is exclusively for the swap - 

Whew! A lot of negative and positive turns here. Angelica's edit took a turn for the extreme negative this round, just due to the way she handled the situation with Rocky. Rocky gets "m" this round because his reaction to the challenge leaned more negative, but his fight to stay and his speech to Willow leaned positive.. definitely attributes of both.

Bridget leans M because her ability to annoy her tribe was relatively negative, but her positive attitude at the game as a whole is a shining trait that keeps her from going negative.

Chris/Robbie/Molly all go negative this round, because of the way they targeted Niki for PURELY selfish reasons and the lack of care they have towards building relationships outside of their OG tribe.

Robert leans negative because he's taking the joker approach to this tribe, he is thriving on deceiving people and is one of the most strategic villains of this round. His negative edit is not due to personal attributes, however, since his tribe loves him. This puts him in the running to win.

Genki leans positive this round, because his whole tribe praised him for his work on the challenge.

Kaitlyn leans positive because she is being painted as someone who is making the most of her new life on this tribe, and she's really the newbie who's giving this her all. She ended up getting CP because it was fun watching her juggle her relationship with Michael but also separate herself.

While Samantha was UTR, her attempt to force rocks with Niki who wouldn't listen to her was a hero move. Niki listened to the villains unfortunately, and Sam is the only one who saw the writing on the wall.

Willow leans positive because she is just a sweet genuine person. Watching people continue to tear her down only fuels her hero edit and I love her story so much.

Everyone else had a pretty neutral tone to their edit. Olivia and Kyle were very aggressive with game, but did an amazing job cementing their spot on the tribe. They become winner picks. I almost put Nikki in this category as well, but she was very much a listener to everyone this round which I think could add onto her game in a future round. Nothing else to note at this point. Michael/Jordan/Trey were background characters this round, but I see that changing for Michael 1000% next round.

Episode 6!

Robert is out of the running for the first time all game... huge yikes.

Swapped Koror, aside from Jordan who is UTR and Sam who went out a hero, remains negative.

Nikki finds herself in the running for the first time all game. Michael finds himself in the running for the first time since swap.

[Charity]

Weirdly... this episode had an absence of negative editing? Nobody did anything necessarily wrong.. just a lot of build up for the second swap. Will dive more into people's edits next round!

[Charity]

Episode 8 Edgic! Significant changes to note include -

- Angelica/Genki's sudden power position with this second swap, having both Nikki/Jordan and Olivia/Robbie wanting to work with them long term.

-Trey's intelligent approach to abandoning OG Koror while still maintaining relationships with Chris/Molly.

-Nikki's adventure into becoming a meat shield that nobody wants at the end.

-Chris/Molly's lack of awareness about their situation - Chris's struggle with the food challenge giving me Cirie crossing the balance beam vibes.

-Robbie's dilemma, where he ultimately chooses to abandon Bridget.

Round 9 Edgic! Will do a better update later

[Charity]

Important things to note for this round -

TOO MANY CP characters to count... but it was such amazing gameplay I had to do it.

Genki putting his foot down and informing Angelica of the deception that was occurring qualifies him for a CP edit and raises his winner potential.

Angelica "testing" those who were deceiving her and putting her foot down puts her as the #1 winner contender going into the final. ESPECIALLY because nobody is going to target her as a result of what happened this round. SUCH a contrast from her first swap edgic.

Kyle gets CPM, there were points he got caught obviously lying but we saw his journey into siding with OG Aparri.

Michael's story into attempting to build a relationship with Chris puts him as CP, just because it becomes relevant later. Borderline OTT territory though.

Kaitlyn was a MOR player, but winning immunity at a key time and avoiding being a key deceiver this round puts her into positive territory.

Robbie continues to get the villain edit. Love it! His journey this round trying to be the godfather calling his shots puts him as CP.

Nikki as the catalyst for the flip on Olivia puts her as a CP character.

[Charity]

Important notes 

-Chris gets CP for the first time all game, strategically voting how Aparri told him too despite knowing it was going to fail.

-Kyle was a paranoid mess, but he facilitated the flip last minute.

-Nikki is just a messy character and I love it LOL!

-Willow/Trey/Molly take a backseat, despite this being Molly's boot episode.

-Kaitlyn continues to be MOR, and Genki is MOR despite his idol play because it was at tribal paranoia that caused it.

-Angelica shifts from strategic gameplayer to another character.

-Michael Brady is permanently stuck as a CP player? Not a bad place to be honestly.

Episode 14 Edgic!

Episode 15 Edgic!

Kyle shoots up to the #1 contender this round by a mile. He was able to successfully take out Trey, who was never going to work with him. He also now has Michael, Robbie, and Chris he can paint as bigger targets allowing him to slide into the F3. I also think he has enough of a case to beat pretty much anyone left if he makes it.

MB continues to be CP, because of course he does. He falls slightly below Kyle on the contender list because A. A couple of people are blah about his jury management and B. He is slightly less likely to make the end. I personally have him as one of my fav players, because he has both heroic and villainish qualities.

Robbie leans negative this round because of his paranoia, and the fact that this paranoia had 0 weight on the eventual outcome.

Angelica shifts back to CP, because she was one of the swings this round that took Trey out.

Kaitlyn falls UTR this round, mainly because she was a background character in all the plans that were formed.

Chris shifts to OTT, because his blind desire to take Kaitlyn out clouded his judgement and prevented him from seeing the bigger picture with Trey being the obvious target. His presence was big enough to remain a character though.

Notes

-Honestly, I had Michael as the #2 contender for most of merge because I assumed he was the Alexander (season 3) of the season... Runs the entire game but gets cut due to being a threat. He shoots back up to #1 because of his proactive decision to take Angelica out as well as his strengthened bond with Kaitlyn/Kyle. I also think the jury respects him.

-Kaitlyn/Kyle are pretty MOR, they really did not have power these last couple of rounds and are slipping.

-Chris is pretty MOR, but he's a total challenge beast and has a good underdog story. His story is starting to lean positive.

-Robbie spent most of the game a villain, but has shifted to a total hero these past couple of rounds. I loved watching his passion and dedication this season and I am sad he won't be making the finale  

[Charity]

Final edgic of the season! A few things to note...

-Chris, similar to Robbie, goes out a hero. He fought for his life in fire, and unfortunately he just fell short.

-Kaitlyn ends the game MORP, she was very strong in what her decision was going to be. Overall, a very heroic game from Kaitlyn.

-Michael was permanently CP. He ends this game with both heroic and villainish qualities.

-Kyle's choice to send Michael to fire ends his game as a CP game.
