You could say things were in a bit of a holding pattern on this episode of Survivor: Ghost Island, but on Episode 7 of the Winner’s Edit, we’re excited to have our friend Matt as a guest host as we chat about complex tribe theory. With the pre-merge stage of the game winding down, we take a look at the assorted tribe configurations and consider which tribes spun threads for the future and which ones kept things strictly to the necessary plot. With a jam-packed advantage-filled episode this past Wednesday, we come to a potentially surprising consensus for what may be the complex tribe of these last two episodes.

Along with all this, Matt joins us in our usual rundown of each castaway and their chance at winning. It seems like things are narrowing down with an extremely obvious front-runner. There’s a maxim that says in Edgic, the pre-merge shows you the winner, the post-merge makes you doubt it; will this hold true for Survivor: Ghost Island?

In this Episode, Matt uses the term ORG, which stands for Online Reality Game. If you’re unfamiliar, fans of reality TV have taken Survivor and other competitive reality formats and made them playable in an online setting through forums or specialized apps. There’s not really a centralized place to find ORGs, but if you search for “survivor ORG” on Google or Facebook you’re likely to find some more information!
