I'll start with Red Collar. Obviously, a dramatic flip from last week. As you know, I predicted Jenn would manipulate Vince to her advantage, and rope in Hali and Joe for a solid alliance of four. Basically, Will took Vince's place since Vince lost his "attraction" to Jenn pretty quickly. It's the end of someone who could've been a fiercely loyal ally, but because he was trying to get rid of her, it was in Jenn's best interests. It was funny too, because Will was clearly the ONE clean person on the tribe. He wasn't involved in the Hali/Jenn vs. Nina conflict, he wasn't involved in the Vince vs. Joe conflict...but then he outed himself as a weak challenge player. But now there's clearly a hierarchy on that tribe, with Nina on the outs. Which I say, GOOD, because she is OBNOXIOUS. Sure, the girls might be a BIT pretentious, but come on - you're deaf, that doesn't grant you a free pass and guarantee you a pity party. Aren't you supposed to be all about how you can overcome challenges despite your disability? Not cry about it on DAY 4. I can't stand her, on top of the fact that SHE basically screwed Vince over, when she told Will that Vince was concerned about his health...which isn't even what Vince really SAID. XD So, yeah, her hearing did cost her a place in this tribe, for multiple reasons, lol.

Blue Collar. Yep, both of my favorites on that tribe are clearly on the outs, for stupid reasons. I mean yes, Mike is right that they need to work, but even he should have some fun every now and then. Dan might have earned a bit more favor with his decent challenge performance, but that's not saying much. Right now, it's clearly Rodney and the girls vs. Dan and Mike, which benefits Rodney more than anything, since his whole goal is to manipulate the girls.

White Collar. Collectively, I like this group best. The nudity aside, what I LOVE is that even after last week, there is NO clear social order/hierarchy in this group. Joaquin seemed to be on the bottom because he was with So, but now he's kinda in the middle, but still untrustworthy. Carolyn is a weaker older women, and known by Tyler to be a threat since she still has the idol. Shirin is still a dunce and bad at challenges. Max kinda made a mistake, er, "putting himself out there" like that, but I don't think it hurts him TOO much. Basically, the ONE person on that tribe who seems completely safe is Tyler.

So far, this season has definitely produced some memorable players, great team dynamics, and two shocking first votes. This is already better than last season. :P
