Best Case Scenario: Vote off Charlie, Corrine, Bob, Ken, Randy, Matty and have a final three of Herself/Crystal/Susie (or a final two with either). She can say how she played the game by voting off Ace and became her own player. Old Kota may still harbor dislike for Susie and it seems that Randy would never vote for Crystal anyway.
Charlie: The Gay Schemer
Previous Examples: Rich (1), Rafe (11), Todd (15)
Analysis: Next episode will show whether or not Charlie is a good strategist. He’s been a coat-tail rider for a while and with Marcus gone, he probably will be stuck working with Corrine. The best scenario for him is either convince Ken/Crystal to vote with him/Corrine and hope for either Susie or Sugar to be number five.
Best Case Scenario: Have him and Corrine team up with Crystal/Ken/Sugar. Vote off Randy (as a loyalty card), Matty, Bob, try flushing out Sugar’s idol but vote out Susie, then vote out Sugar, Ken and have a final three of Crystal/Corrine/Charlie (or a final two with Crystal). In that scenario Ken will vote Crystal for friendship, and the rest will probably see Charlie’s maneuvers and vote for him.
Matty: The Physical Threat
Previous Examples: Colby (2), Ethan (3)
Analysis: With the merge inevitable, this guy should just stick with his original Fang members. He probably could do an individual immunity run, but will be voted out the first chance the other contestants get. I don’t believe that Matty is a smart player. I find him passionate, but passion will only get him so far. His loyalty will be his downfall.
Best Case Scenario: Align with old Fang. Vote for Charlie, Randy, Corrine. Align with Susie, Bob, and Sugar. Vote out Ken. Convince Crystal and Sugar to vote out Bob. Vote out Sugar or have a two-episode immunity run. Have a final three with Crystal and Susie (or two with either). Convince the jurors that he was strong, loyal, and smart.
Susie: Under The Radar/The Swing Vote
Examples: Amber (2), Vecepia (4), Sandra (7), Cirie (12), Jonathan (13)
Analysis: Susie has finally gotten off the fence and made a vote that would probably help her in the long run. By being number five in an alliance of Ken/Crystal and Matty/Sugar she can fence-sit again and figure out who she can get to final three with. She seems like the only one convinced that the end will be a final three so her goal is to be the third one in.
Best Case Scenario: Stay with Ken and Crystal; hope that either Bob or Sugar/Matty vote with them. Vote out Randy, Charlie and Corrine. Align with Bob, Sugar, and Matty to get rid of Ken and Crystal. Get rid of Bob. Final three of her Sugar and Matty (or a final two with Sugar). Convince the tribe that she was cunning. Somehow split the votes for 3-2-2.
Bob: The Trustworthy Old Person
Examples – Rudy (1), Kim J. (3), Lydia (11), Yau-Man (14)

That's funny, looking at it now, you were almost on about Susie's strategy.
