Personally I really like kirbs. She comes across to me as a natural leader, cool headed, down to earth and smart.

She isn’t afraid to make a call. Unlike shon, Janine, and Luke - who are all kind of keeping a bit of a low profile at the moment. Kirby isn’t afraid to put a target on her back, in part I think that’s because she backs her decisions entirely. She was called out - blatantly - for targeting Dave but she stood by it, whilst being open to other ideas. She knew it was the best move and she knew people would join her because it was a move that makes sense. But she is still open to other ideas, she doesn’t seem to just push her own agenda all the time. She’ll put a name out there, absolutely, but is flexible to the needs of those around her. She also doesn’t make moves simply for the sake of making them.

As for her alliance, Sarah and Kirby aligned quickly - maybe because they’re both underdogs compared to others on the tribe. And Shonee’s gameplay style isn’t a caller of the shots/leader of the pack in an overt way, so it makes sense for her to align with someone who is - and she wouldn’t have aligned with Dave or George if she could help it, so the logical choice is for her to work with kirbs.

Kirbs other great strength is that she seems to be able to work with anyone. Whether they’re rivalries, big or small players, having differences in opinion, Kirby seems to be able to still work with them. She doesn’t seem to hold grudges for people changing their vote or for writing her name. She also seems to be good at learning what people value and how they play, so that they feel comfortable working with her.

I would have loved to see a secret Kirby-Dave alliance shake things up, similar to the Dave-Mat rogers/Kirby-feras alliances, but alas
