The Rules: Each week, “Survivor: Nicaragua” finalist Matthew “Sash” Lenahan and XFINITY TV’s “Survivor” loudmouth Gordon Holmes will create separate power rankings. The ranking of the person who is voted out of the next episode will determine the number of points the two players will earn. For example, if Ashley is voted out this week, Sash will receive 4 points and Gordon will receive 5 points. Also, each player will pick who they think will win at “Redemption Island.” If they choose correctly they will receive a bonus point for each player. At the end of the season, the person with the most points will be named the “Survivor: Redemption Island” Power Rankings Challenge Champion.

Last Week: Sash and Gordon both had Matt and Mike as their Redemption Island picks. So, they both earn two points. Sash had Steve eighth and Ralph seventh. Gordon had Ralph eighth and Steve seventh. So, both earn fifteen points. The current score is now Team Sash 129 to Team Gordon 116.

Wanna Play? “Survivor” fans have been posting their own Power Rankings on Twitter.

If you do better than Gordon does, (which is highly likely) he’ll give you credit in his weekly recap.

TEAM SASH Current Score: 129	.	TEAM GORDON Current Score: 116
	.
#1 Boston Rob – Rob still has an idol, still has control of the tribe, and still can pretend he’s Phillip’s best friend…that’s impressive!	.	#1 Natalie – There’s a good reason to vote every member of the tribe out…except for Natalie.

	.
#2 Natalie – Natalie is a prime example that in “Survivor” you don’t have to be the best at survival skills, you just have to be the best at being loyal.	.	#2 Phillip – They’re hinting that Phillip may be pretending to be crazy. Possible? Yes. Probable? No. Crazy nearly got him voted out in the first episode.

	.
#3 Phillip – Phillip’s antics are outrageous and perfectly designed to make it to the end…but is he outwitting the tribe or himself?	.	#3 Boston Rob – Rob’s strategy has worked perfectly up until this point. If he can finish strong this’ll have to go down as the most dominant performance since Tom Westman in Palau.

	.
#4 Ashley – Ashley’s abrasive tone has impeded her ability to make any strong alliances, and with the game nearing the finish line, she needs a strong ally.	.	#4 Grant – Rob Cesternino made an excellent point on his podcast that it’s much easier to make a big move at five than at six. The big move is coming to get rid of you, Grant. And it’s coming next week at five.

	.
#5 Grant – If Grant can oust Boston Rob, he can win this game.  Unfortunately for him, that’s easier said than done.	.	#5 Ashley – Ashley isn’t interested in making any moves. In fact, the only move she’ll make this week is to pray that Andrea doesn’t win immunity.

	.
#6 Andrea – Andrea has the whole package to make it far, but she has already shown her hand and will be immediately on the chopping block because of her obvious strengths over the other women.	.	#6 Andrea – I think your number is up, Andrea. Which is a shame because I never felt like you had a good opportunity to make a move.

	.
Redemption Island Winners – Knowing they are fighting for a chance to spend time with their loved ones, Matt and Mike will continue to dominate on Redemption Island.	.	Redemption Island Winners – How many people are left on Redemption Island? Fourteen? I guess I’ll go with these two guys again, they’ve been lucky for me.
