If you told me a few rounds ago I'd place this player in the center, I'd think you're lying... #7 is Grogu. A few rounds ago, Grogu was dead meat. Now, they're in it to win it and can very well rise even higher. Grogu's done a damn good job coming back into the game after being voted out, and that's something I'm very proud of. This underdog alliance, if it goes right, can really pull this game out of thin air to make the impossible happen, and I seriously think that Grogu will have a pivotal point to play in making this happen. But it's an underdog alliance for a reason. There will need to be an upset happen to make this alliance really fly, and I believe it's possible.

Part of me says I'm overvaluing them... but I'm not sure. #6 is ...Bees? Bees has a lot of room to fly in this game. If they want to play with Droids and follow Bardvocado, they can. Otherwise, there's space for both them and Dave in the underdog alliance to really make this game happen. Bees has enough social connections to have room to play, but not so many they they're a problematic player, either. And I think that's enough to make them place at around this spot.

Remember that player that's doing Bonobo's job better? Yeah, they're also animals. #5 goes to The Tortoise & The Hare. This dynamic duo is really shaping up to fly under the radar for the rest of the game. With a solid connection to Bardvocado from all the way back in chocolate, connections to Dave and Bees, as well as Grogu, and now maybe also Maggie. This hydra has their paws (and digitigrades) in every pie enough to make stuff happen, and they're savvy enough to make it work for them. This is, of course, assuming they don't get caught. Being caught with your hands all over the place is certain death, and this is a trap for this pair to avoid in the coming future.

It's time to fire up the grill because we're in for fast food and a good time. #4 is Dave Thomas, Founder of Wendy's If Dave makes it through this tribe, he's really set to make this game fold under his feet while Bard and Avocado play in front. He has a lot of connections to enough people to take this game by the horns and play this game his way. Bees, Tortoise/Hare, and Maggie are key to this, but with Bard and Avocado being the big players, it'd be easy to get people to agree to work with him to take them out at the right time. That's a big if, though.

Who knew that abandoning your starting tribe entirely could turn out so well? #3 goes to Avocado. Avocado's been the bar to pass for this game. If you get in with Avocado, you know you're set. This speaks heavily to just how much sway Avocado has over this game, which is an incredibly tangible amount. With friends high and low, if he plays his cards right, Avocado can really go the distance to make this game work for them. But eveyrone's aware that Avocado is in the driver's seat, so he's also a massive shield for the rest of the game. Coming down from this position is nigh-impossible, and is going to be Avocado's biggest issue. If he can avoid that issue, Avocado really does have a top-tier chance of winning this game.

#2 is going to someone.... but I don't think it's going quite where you think its going. It's going to Bard. He's a challenge threat. He's Avocado's #1. He knows his position in this game. He even had a goddamn Idol. What else could you possibly want? Well, not being public target #1 would be a good start, I suppose. Bard's position in this game is VERY STRONG, but also incredibly fragile. People know who Bard is, and his lute is playing songs that make everyone wanna get down and dance to this melodious rhythm. But being this visible comes with very major drawbacks, and Bard could very well see his day come if not managed with the utmost care.

And that leaves Maggie Smith as my winner of choice. I think Maggie has a lot of the same qualities as Bard does, but is far less visible. She knows where she stands in this game, and who she can trust and who she can't. She wields a lot of hidden power with her connections to Barvocado, Grogu/Dark Rey, and Dave. There is no player in this game who has more available decent endgame options than Maggie does right now. You know how I said Tortoise & Hare are doing a better version of Bonobo? Maggie is doing a better version of Tortoise & Hare with just how sociable and lovable she is. I don't think anyone has, or honestly ever will, notice just how well connected Maggie is to the rest of this game. She knows how to make people just love her, and it's already saved her once. Maggie has room to move and make moves. There's no player in this game who has Maggie's connections. She's aware. She has it all.

I fully agree on all counts, except perhaps your ranking of T&H. As I’ve said to you before, I think they’re playing a dirty game, and it’s going to catch up to them sooner or later. They’re playing the power behind the throne quite well, but are not covering their tracks half so well as Maggie.

I disagrees with that statement.

I think Dave is too high. He has almost nobody-- he barely even has Maggie. There's no reason at all why those shouldn't be a strong pair, but they're not. The only thing keeping Dave in the game at all is the perception of him as a threat, which people want to use to shield themselves with. But at the same time they want to cut out all his allies, so I don't see him ever really having any plays available.
Meanwhile, I might agree with you on Maggie... but that's entirely due to her seemingly strong connection with Bard. Because otherwise, her side thing with Grogu and Rey would really seem like her main thing. Avocado and T&H only want her in the game slightly longer and then they're ready to discard her. However, if the Bard alliance is strong, then she really may belong at the top of the rankings.
I'd probably go #1 T&H #2 Bard #3 Avo #4 Maggie (big drop) other players.

lmao not gonna lie, as I was placing I realized I went "oh shit Dave is still here"... I'd probably have dropped him to #6 if I thought of it earlier.
