I think Aaron is a very underrated player. I know he can be rather boring at times, but I am very impressed with him so far. He realizes this is a sinking Saaki ship, and isn't going to stick his neck on the line for anyone. I think he is actually very experienced in that he knows how to talk to people and how to appeal to others for them to keep him around, even if he lacks being able to connect on a personal level. I am actually very impressed on how he approached Sassy after the vote, and I am confident that he'll be able to find a way to stick around.

So I've never really done a cast assessment, but it seems like the thing to do and I know there was talk about these threads having more insight, so here goes nothing!
NuNuChikara:
Billy: I actually was never really on the Billy bandwagon in Mexico, and I didn't really see myself rooting for him here. But for some reason, I am just really enjoying him! I think he's really good at making solid video confessionals, they're insightful, easy to follow, and his jokes are funny. He's just a good speaker! I am loving his gameplay as well, he really knows how to balance being in power and UTR and I think it's brilliant. I hope he continues to stay in!
Craig: I don't think I'm enjoying Craig as much as some others are. He seems like a really sweet kid and I adore his enthusiasm. But I don't know, I honestly wouldn't really be sad if he was voted out. For me personally, he's not bringing much to the table. That being said, I know he took a Disneyland hiatus, so maybe he'll come back with a whole new game.
Debbie: Debbie is clearly a sweetheart and to echo many people, she would really be amazing on real Survivor. I think in this game, she is a fantastic character. She kind of started out as the sweet older-lady character, and now she's some sort of double-dealing villain. That being said, I'm not the biggest fan of her gamewise. I think she's playing kind of sloppy, and it's painful to watch.
Jeffrey: Jeffrey is another one who coming into this game I never would have saw myself rooting for. Especially through text, I think he's extremely boring. But on call, I absolutely adore him! He's so fun to chat with, he just has such an enjoyable personality. I wouldn't be heartbroken to see him voted out, but I am really enjoying getting to know him and stuff, I think he's a great person.
Kelman: Ugh, I feel bad because I feel like I've never really said much positive about him. But I just don't find him as an appealing character. I don't think he's playing an awful game, he's doing a great job of staying UTR so I commend him for that. He seems to have a few solid people on his side, too. I do appreciate his attempt to be funny, even if it often times falls through. But I don't know, there's just something about him that makes it really hard for me to root for him. His confessional he wrote today about how stupid he thinks this twist is didn't help that either.
Sami: On a personal level, I love Sami to death and she's kind of like an older sister to me. I am so glad she played and is enjoying this season. I think she's doing a great job, she's made great connections and is definitely able to fool people into thinking she's with them, which has greatly worked to her benefit. With an idol in her pocket, she is definitely in a good position. My concern is how people are definitely on to how she's lied to so many people, and have an eye on her because of that. She just needs to stay focused!
Sassy: I do think that Sassy is doing a good job this season, obviously she has quite a few people on her side which saved her from going home this past round. She has people everywhere just coming to her with information, so I think that has helped her to be aware of what's going on around her. However she has a huge bullseye on her right now which is going to be hard for her to get rid of.
NuNuKoji:
Aaron: He's definitely not the most exciting player, however like I said earlier, I think he's doing a good job. He's great at staying UTR and not appearing threatening. He's not tied too closely with anyone, which works to his advantage because no one thinks "Oh we need to split Aaron and XXX up." Instead, he can just focus on appealing to each person individually and giving them a reason to keep him around, which I think he has been doing a good job of doing. If he's voted out, it'll most likely be because he's a safe option.
Chris: I LOVE Chris so much! I enjoy every confessional and every conversation with him. He's so much fun and I love his energy. If I were in the game, he would be one of the main ones I would want to align with. For someone with such a big personality, I think he's fantastic at appearing quiet and low-key. He's doing a great job at playing all angles and I am really impressed at how he can handle so many different people. He's just such a smart person and I love hearing his insight. I really, really enjoy watching him play and he's definitely one of my most favorites this season.
Cody: My absolute favorite this season! I will admit that I am biased, but it's really hard not to root for someone who you have spent hours of time in-person just talking to them about their life and everything. So I'm sorry that I am constantly talking about how much I love him, but I just really can't help it, I adore him so much. He's just so sweet, so fun to talk to and I just love getting to know him. His love for his game is just so endearing to me, how he embraces every moment and when he is doing a video confessional, I can just feel how badly he wants to make the merge and do well in this game. I do think he's in a decent position, now that he's back with Chris and Robbie, but at the same time this could make him look threatening that he's part of such a strong 3. He's such a smart and experienced player though, and I know he'll do whatever he needs to do to stay alive. I think he's been doing such a great job of exerting power while appearing to be UTR and non-threatening, although several people have stated how they think he's calling the shots. So I hope this doesn't hurt him! I will seriously be heart-broken when he leaves the game, but especially if it's before jury.
Daniel: I came in with really high hopes for him, which is maybe why I'm not as intrigued by him. I think he's a really awesome person, his Alaska stories are so cool even if they are excessive lol. But the fact that he's so willing to talk about his life in this tiny Alaskan village is great because then I don't feel annoying when I ask a million dumb questions lol. Anyways, I do think he's a pretty good gameplayer. You can tell he's so frustrated with the way things are going, but he knows he just needs to stay quiet and complacent in order to make it further. I don't think he's getting as much credit as he deserves, but I do think that he needs to pull out something big otherwise he's going to be picked off any day now.
Eric: Such mixed feelings! One day I'll be so frustrated with him and want him voted out, the next day I want him to make it super far!! I really do enjoy him as a person though, I love talking to him and I actually think he's a really sweet person. I love how into this game he is, and it actually makes me happy when I see him taking leadership in the challenges. I think it's fair to say that he has lead his tribe to the past 2 victories. That being said, gamewise I do think he is a little all over the place. No one except Nicole really seems to trust him, and I think that's warranted with how shady he was being the first couple of rounds. He is lucky that this mutiny happened, but I think he'll still always be on everyone's minds as someone who needs to be voted out ASAP.
Ginny: I've never really been the biggest Ginny fan. I actually do think she's sweet when I talk to her one-on-one, and she is a fun person. I think she's a big part as to why the live Dylan TC was so exciting, with her drama towards Kelman and all lol. I am really not a fan of her in this game though, and I'll be glad when she's voted out. I just find her kind of annoying and it seems like she isn't doing much of anything other than following Eric, which is super boring.
Nicole: She has definitely grown on me so much! I think she's adorable and I love watching her videos. She has definitely recovered well since the Dylan vote, and aside from people having their eyes on her from the possibility of her idol, I think she has wiggled herself into a fairly good position. She is in a spot that she could really side with anyone she wanted, and her idol gives her a significant amount of power. I think she's doing a good job of appearing alone and non-threatening, but she clearly still has her head in the game and it's amazing to watch.
Robbie: Oh Robbie! As a person I seriously love him soooo much and it makes me so happy that he's playing this season. The first couple rounds I especially was just so awed by how well he was playing this game. But these last couple rounds, he really seemed to get a little power hungry, and really overplayed. I definitely could see this coming back to hurt him, but hopefully this mutiny will give him new light in this game. I think he just needs to take a step back and stop trying to call the shots for a couple of rounds. He's clearly a smart player with TONS of potential, and I just don't want to see him crash and burn. I'm still a huge Robbie fan, I love him so much and I want to see him do super well!

So we have new tribes... and I like it.
I like that Billy was able to connect back up with Sammy and Craig... is sassy with them to!?! Sucks for Jeffrey and Debbie and Kelman. K seems like hes boring. Don't really know the guy but I havent heard much of him. Debbie seems expendable. No one really mentioned her either.
I also like that Nicole and Eric got away from Billy. As much as I am rooting for all 3 of them, I know the three of them on the same tribe wouldnt end out well for my picks! Not really sure whats going on on this tribe though. Kirin says Nicole trust Eric... maybe Nicole can pull in some other people and we can have an alliance on this tribe with a cool name like CatPack or something!
I think the mutiny bettered a lot of peoples chances to get to the merge... but it also made post-merge a whole hell of a lot harder because I think the weak will fall before that due to numbers.
Only time will tell...

Agreeing with Tom, eeeeeeeeeasily the best season since Heroes vs. Villains. I'm a little sour mouthed about the Katana alliances since Dylan was meant to be apart of that and his own group voted him out after the first swap - there's bound to be some tension so I wouldn't hold my breath about the Chikara/Saaki group being the dominant force, Yuubu/Koji are the guys I'm cheering for moreso, they just have a nicer group of people and I wouldn't be upset to see anybody from NuNuKoji leave (granted that it isn't Nicole)
Robbie had potential to do so well, but this game absolutely strips back his new persona and you can tell he hasn't grown up in terms of controlling his emotions. The guy is a hand grenade.

A leopard can jump into as many different colored cans of paint it wants, but it's still going to have spots and it's still going to be a leopard!
