Howdy folks! I’m in a “Survivor Survivor” pool and could use the hive mind for my Episode 7 pick and my new merge Keeper. Quick rules + context below:

How our Survivor Survivor works

• Each week I pick one player.
• If my pick survives the episode (not voted out/quit/medevac), I survive to next week.
• No repeats: I can’t pick the same person again
• …except Keepers:
  • I get a Keeper I chose at the start of the game that I can use 2 times total during the season.
  • At the merge (this week) I can add one new Keeper, who adds a one usage to them.
  • A Keeper can be any remaining contestant (including someone I’ve already picked earlier).
• It’s last person standing. Pool size started at ~300; we’re down to ~55 left.

CONTEXT

• Already used (can’t re-pick unless they’re my Keeper): Steven, MC, Jawan, Sophie, Kristina, Nate
• Decision needed:
  1. Episode 7 weekly pick
  2. New merge Keeper (anyone still in the game)

LOGIC

• Trying to stay alive Week 7 while also setting up a high-leverage Keeper for the back half.
• Open to safe picks or contrarian plays if you think the field will cluster elsewhere.
• Please no spoilers beyond Episode 7 promos—speculate away, just keep it clean.

GIVE ME YOUR CHOICE:

• Ep7 pick: Name — why you think they’re safe this week
• Merge Keeper: Name — upside/consistency, edit potential, social cover, idol/advantage risk, etc.

Ill report back who I choose
