'Survivor 50' power rankings: 7 castaways remain, who is ahead?

We're approaching the final stretches of Survivor 50, so it's time for an updated castaway power ranking for the game's final seven participants.

Ozzy Lusth and Emily Flippen joined the jury during Wednesday night's episode, leaving just a handful from the original group to contend for Sole Survivor status and the $2 million in prize money.

Why didn't Ozzy Lusth play his idol? He reveals Survivor 50 reasoning

Who has the best chance at winning? Who might just be biding their time at this point before an elimination? We've sized up all seven remaining castaways as to how they stack up against each other as possible winners.

7. Joe Hunter

Look, we love Joe. We are extremely pro-Joe when it comes to Survivor. He's survived this long in a game filled with new-era Survivor cutthroat strategy die-hards, and that counts for a lot. However, he's just not going to win with this group, even if we think he's got a decent chance of making it to Final Tribal. Joe's edit has been one of the great thematic delights of the season; his reactions to this conniving band of Survivor castaways have been priceless. For what we're guessing is Joe's swan song on the island, he's been a great addition to the cast on vibes alone. However, his game play just doesn't mesh with how an All-Star Survivor lineup is going to want to crown its victor, even if he's been far more adaptable to playing by the new "rules" of the game than he was during Survivor 48.

6. Rick Devens

Devens has given Survivor 50 so much excitement and bravado. His fake idol-to-Mr. Beast coin-flip run has been one of the best showings for any player this season. However, he's got a Texas-sized target on his back now that his immunity idol has been used. We'd love to see Devens go further, but he's just such an obvious vote on one of the remaining Tribal Councils. Unless he finds yet another idol, we're guessing it's curtains for Devens' incredible Survivor 50 run sooner than later. That's the price you pay for being such a flashy threat. Long live Devens!

5. Tiffany Ervin

Tiffany, like Devens, could wind up being voted off pretty soon because of how well she's blended her social game with her capability of winning Immunity Challenges. The other castaways might take an opportunity to get her out of the game if the opportunity presents itself. However, she's played the kind of game to where, if she makes it to a Final Tribal, she's going to get votes. She's been one of the strongest castaways this season, but she's also vulnerable as a dual threat who has a serious chance at currying favor from the jurors. She's likely going to be a popular name around camp in the game days ahead with the remaining castaways, which may limit her ceiling.

4. Rizo Velovic

This won't be Rizo's last Survivor. In fact, he's probably going to play a few more times as the years go on. He's one of the most popular new-era castaways and may have his time in the sun eventually. Him not telling alliance member Ozzy about this week's blindside, and his general youth compared to some of the game's more seasoned players, will probably limit him from winning Sole Survivor should he make it to Final Tribal. However, he could get a vote or two from sympathetic jurors who respect his game. The Cirie-Ozzy-Rizo alliance is now gone, but having Cirie as your top alliance member may help Rizo make it all the way to the final stage of Survivor 50. We suppose a Rizo win isn't impossible to concieve, but the game feels like it's down to three major threats to win it all at this point.

3. Jonathan Young

Jonathan has played the best overall game of Survivor when you consider the meshing of the brains and brawn. He's always a threat for an Immunity Challenge, and he's embraced the extremely chaotic nature of an All-Star season to pull some powerful social levers at times. He's going to get votes if he makes it to Final Tribal, and he's not going to be an obvious vote-out candidate in the days ahead with players like Devens, Tiffany and Rizo around. One slip-up in an Immunity Challenge and a bad day at camp could tank his game, but Jonathan is well-positioned to go as far in this game as anyone playing. We're just curious if he can win enough jury members over to win it all.

2. Cirie Fields

Cirie has brought her usual excellence to the social game, but losing Ozzy was a huge blow to her chances of making it to Final Tribal. Everyone knows on the island that, if she makes it to the final stage, she's going to win Survivor 50. That's why Devens and Emily were so ready to vote her out as a "big move;" getting her out of the game is the "big move" every remaining castaway will (or at least should) have in the back of their minds right now. If you're the one who orchestrates Cirie's exit, you're going to get lots of respect from any jury. We won't count out Cirie as one of the game's clear favorite until her torch is snuffed, but one castaway might have an edge right now.

1. Aubry Bracco

Aubry has been the betting favorite on Kalshi for so much of the season. We're beginning to understand why. A big move fell into her lap with Ozzy's way-too-early jury work during this week's episode. She's going to get to add eliminating Ozzy to her list of arguments for why she's the Sole Survivor if she makes it to Final Tribal. Like Cirie, Aubry has the extensive game experience to punch the gas in this season's final stages. We won't be shocked if Aubry makes it to Final Tribal and gets just enough support with a strong late push to win Sole Survivor.
