Previously on Power Rankings…
After Randy’s domination in Round 2, it looked near impossible to catch him up, but last week saw a huge comeback from Martin. In Round 4, Martin finished in first place, receiving 17 points for ranking Lucy in 17th place, and gaining 10 bonus points for Adam finding an idol, giving him a total of 27 points. Julia finished in second place with 16 points, and Randy finished in third with 13 points. Martin now takes the overall lead with 62 points, Randy follows closely behind with 59 points, and Julia is last with 41 points.
The Rules
We use the Gordon Holmes format of Power Rankings. Each week the three power rankers create separate rankings based on least likely to most likely to be eliminated. The ranking of the player who is voted out of the next episode will determine the number of points the three rankers will earn. For example, if Taylor is voted out in Episode 5, Julia will receive 14 points, Randy will receive 12 points, and Martin will receive 10 points. At the end of the season, the person with the most points will be named the Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X Power Rankings Champion.
If a ranker wants to take a more strategic approach to their rankings they can play for…
Bonuses:
If the player ranked in 1st place finds an idol you gain 10 points.
If the player ranked in last place isn’t eliminated but receives a vote(s) against them you gain 5 points.
If the player ranked in 1st place wins individual immunity you gain 10 points (post-merge).

I am completely baffled as to how Big Baby Grump Chris is in the Top 3. His whiny act pretty much sealed the deal for him.
Granted, his physicality might keep him around until the merge, but if he continues his petulance (which I think is a HUGE possibility) and even if he doesn’t (he’s your typical merge target), I can’t imagine him nearing the finish line.
Is it possible to make the numbers listing the ranks darker? I can’t even see them unless I use my mouse to highlight them.
Will look into that. Thanks. 🙂
Chad is right. This isn’t Chad Johnson from Bachelor in Paradise is it?
No it isn’t. Is that the Chad from JoJo’s season? Is this the Randy Bailey from Survivor, and this power ranking? Can’t tell from the profile pic. Thumbnail is too small.
While I think that Ken’s emphasis on integrity, respect, etc., are attributes that may work against him in the long run, I’m completely baffled as to why Randy has him ranked as low as 14 out of 16 in his power rankings. First, I would stress the fact that even though we saw aspects of Ken that spoke to why he may have difficulty winning the game, the edit also presented him in a largely positive light. Not only did he speak the truth to Jessica, but David ensured that Ken’s wishes were carried out at tribal council when his playing of the idol saved Jessica and got Lucy eliminated from the game. Second, since we know there is a tribe swap and we will end up with either two tribes of eight or three tribes of five (with one getting temporarily sent to exile island), why would any new tribe decide to vote off someone who (a) is a provider and (b) is a challenge beast? (This will be particularly true if we end up – as many people seem to think – with three tribes of five.) Yes, Ken could end up the sole Gen-X member on a team of Millenials, but this scenario could be true of all the Gen-Xers. Based on what we’ve seen of them, it just defies reason/logic that anyone would see Ken as third to last of the sixteen players left in the game (while at the same time placing Chris and Bret in first and second place).
Julia, they aren’t paying you by the word, are they? 😉
