The thing with everybody left on Wynn is that all of them always seem very pragmatic in the way they deal with setbacks. If somebody pisses them off, they keep that compartmentalized and don't overreact by changing their whole approach to the game. They are a 90s family sitcom. Weird stuff happens. Colby tries to go on dates with two different girls at the same restaurant; Kelly gets straight As on her report card while Natalie tries to hide that she failed History; Lex tries to fix a busted cabinet to hilarious end. But at the end of the day, they realize all they have is each other and everything goes back to normal in time for the next episode.
Meanwhile on Dampier, everyone (except Lex) is the exact opposite. The alliances and loyalties over there change like the tides. You could tell one of them you had an English muffin for breakfast, and somebody on the tribe would get paranoid that you're trying to vote them out; then you could have a cheeseburger for lunch and suddenly you're in control of the group. They're like Casaya2.0 but if Casaya was made up entire of Shanes and Courtneys with no Danielles to be relatively level-headed.

Alina feels like Shane. Her alliances and thoughts change every other minute. Edgardo's a lot more stable, as is Charlie in the sense he wanted to work with Ed and has wanted to since they swapped. Chet's relatively level-headed in the sense that he's been lied and betrayed, and unnecessarily at that, even though he is playing up an OTT character.
On Wynn, Natalie, Colby, and Vytas all seem like too noticeable threats to let make the end, while Denise comes off much more goat-like because she isn't well-liked. Malcolm seems like a sure-fire boot this round, which to me leaves Kelly as essentially a KatieClone(TM). Katie also normally would've have left until late merge in an ORG, but rookies are excellent at making stupid moves.

I gotta give props to Edgardo if he actually moved the target off of his back. He understands that it's not a game about voting people out, but a game about not being voted out. Who gives a shit who leaves, as long as it's not you.

Alina no! Ed's been playing you, and you had the chance to redeem yourself after unnecessarily fucking Chet over twice. Her descent into madness is getting worse.
