This week's episode of Survivor was intense, with more drama than you could even imagine.

In a season that continues to go from strength to strength, another idol was found after the Survivor auction, and the game was flipped on its head when an unlikely castaway was sent for jury duty.

So now we have a final six - perhaps the greatest final six of all time - all battling it out for the top spot and $1 million, with no better time than to rank them in order of excellence.

Great Game

Playing perhaps one of the best games in the history of Survivor, the one thing that can only see him taken out before the final three (or final two) will be his actions from next week going forward.

He's pretty much guaranteed final four after finding another immunity idol to go alongside his special powers immunity idol, and so if anyone tries to pull a fast one he should remain strong. 

He took out one of his biggest threats in LJ after handing him an immunity idol just a week before, he changed the vote this week after hearing wind of Jefra almost flipping to try and send him packing and he's got Woo right under his thumb.

From the final four onwards he could be in big trouble. People have made no secret of the fact they believe he's playing the best game on the island, stating that if they're sent to jury he'll be getting their vote. This may harm him when people have to start deciding who they want to sit alongside, but if anyone's deserving of making it to the end and taking every single vote - from a jury I have high hopes for in not being bitter - it's this guy.

Trish seems to be flying under the radar and has been accused of simply being Tony's lapdog by some fans of the show.

What people fail to remember is that Trish is the one who initiated the Cliff vote-off, which then in turn led to Lindsey quitting the game in a bratty sulk because she may do something she might regret (AKA attack Trish physically).

Not only this, but at one of the most important moments in the game when her alliance seemed on the verge of being crushed due to merge numbers, she flipped the vote onto Sarah, convincing Kass that she had a better chance of getting further in the game if she was on her side.

Chaos Kass has played this well. I completely agree with her when she says if she had never have flipped, she wouldn't have gotten this far in the game.

She's pure entertainment and though she may really, really suck when it comes to immunity challenges, she's a good talker who knows to keep quiet at all the right times. Who now wouldn't want to take Kass to the end, now that most of the jury will deem her betrayal as what is responsible for their demise.

I get the Tasha love, because she is truly doing fantastic in surviving and winning immunity every single time she needs it, but I think she's had so many failed chances and made silly decisions throughout.

The most recent would be her suddenly being all pally-pally with the females, making out like there's an all-female alliance. This was before the immunity challenge and so would have sealed her fate had she not won the necklace once more.

She also refused to bid her $500 at the Survivor auction for the game advantage, which could have secured her or Spencer an idol and ensured one of the core alliance's five were sent packing, if used right.

'Meh' Game

He did well in finding an idol, and planting the seed in Tony's mind that the girls were joining together to take out the men, but the fact he used his idol on himself instead of saving Jeremiah was something unforgiveable.

He's now also under Tony's thumb and although he's being kept around to help Tony take out exactly whoever he wants to, he's easily disposable and will most likely be sent packing in the next couple of weeks, because any outsider that reaches the finals will have an instant win with the jury.

Woo is the real Tony lapdog. He makes out like he has the exact same ideas as Tony, but this only really is true once he's heard what the season's mastermind has to say.

He's not made any moves other than falling out of a tree and gaining some sympathy, and stealing an idol clue which did absolutely nothing for him but ensure Spencer would never give him his vote.

Survivor Cagayan continues next Wednesday on CBS, check out the episode preview in the teaser clip below.
