While I'm sitting around watching this challenge play out, I thought I would share my thoughts on everyone
NuNuChikara:
Sami, Billy and Craig did a great job of pulling in Sassy without making her feel like the 4th wheel. The 3 of them are in a great position, personally I think they're in a better position than the other trio, the Chikara 3. Kelman and Jeffrey are clearly on the outs on this tribe and I don't think it'll be much of a shocker that one of the 2 of them will leave this round.
Sami is doing a great job, but I still think she has a huge target on her back just for being such a smart, strong and likable player. But she's so good that I think she'll still be able to stick around for awhile. Craig is in a great position sitting between 2 huge threats in Billy and Sami. Honestly though, if I had to call the winner right now, I would pick Billy. I think he's playing so well. He has great connections on both tribes and no one is really after him. The only thing that could hurt him is if people are afraid of the idol, so they vote off Billy to play it safe. Other than that though, I love Billy and I think he's in such a great spot.
NuNuKoji:
The dynamics on this tribe are a lot more intricate, and I think this next TC could get very intense. You have a solid 3 in Robbie/Cody/Chris who call themselves the ".gif alliance." They are deciding whether they want to target Eric or Ginny.
Then you have Eric/Nicole who could either pull in Ginny and vote out Cody, or they could stick with the Chikara 3 and vote out Ginny.
Then you have Aaron and Daniel who don't trust Robbie and want to go against him and his alliance, but don't know if it's too soon to make a move.
I have a feeling that everyone will just keep it simple and decide to get rid of Ginny, but who knows. The Chikara 3 could worry that the merge is sooner than later, and take a shot at the challenge threat, Eric. But Chris clearly isn't ready to get rid of his friend Eric, so will he convince Cody/Robbie to wait?
I think Aaron and Daniel have put themselves in a great position for at least short term. No one is after them because everyone needs their votes right now. Nicole will always be a target, but I think she's doing a great job of getting people to forget what a big threat she is, and so at the moment it doesn't seem like anyone is really hardcore after her.
Cody knows that Eric wants him out, but luckily Cody is an experienced player and is just keeping quiet. I don't think Cody knows exactly how much hot water he is in right now though, so I hope that he doesn't get too comfortable.
Robbie also seems fairly confident in his position, luckily his relationship with Daniel and Eric's random dislike for Cody will probably spare him an extra round.
I think Chris is such an underrated player, and I think he's in actually one of the best positions in the game for long term. Everyone likes him and enjoys his company. No one ever talks about getting him out despite how close he is to Cody and Robbie; instead they just focus on targeting those 2. He is also close with Eric which allows him to get information out of Eric, but not close enough to where the 2 of them are grouped together. He is on good terms with Daniel and Nicole. On the other tribe, he has a pretty strong relationship with Billy which I think is actually a good pair that could do some damage in the long run. I really love Chris, he has such a fun and likable personality and he really knows how to appeal to other people. I'm so glad he played this season!! I think he's doing a great job and I think he's going to be a key player once the merge comes.

In all honesty, I would love to see what will happen to Robbie, because of all the damage control he's done.
