It’s early days, but the factions are starting to develop. Anthony and Maxwell will form a good alliance, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Kemal and Science fall in line with them as well. A four way bloc vote is a good starting point for eliminating rivals one by one, as long as they are not too blatant about it, and it should see them through to at least the midway point of the game.

The most unlikely pairing is Mary and Derek – they both seem like outsiders and vulnerable to being nominated, but I suspect that Derek has enough political nous to play the game properly and sufficient public appeal to survive at least one nomination. If Mary gets nominated then I think she is likely to go, unless she goes all out with her psychic nutter persona – unfortunately, I don’t think it’s an act …
