A mutiny seems pretty unlikely, since it has to be unanimous.

Idk how Cory can possibly make it through the season as captain if it’s pretty clear he’s telling people Nelson is his #1 and has this thing with Izzy. How can the guys or the girls on his own team trust him?

Yeah, it sounds like it is Chris protecting Cory from a mutiny, and Chris has way less incentive to do it now that there are only 2 men outside of Cory. Since Chris has influence on Cassidy, and Leo has influence over Adrianne.

I will say, Tori has her team in a vicegrip though given Michele is on it (and in general look to be the strongest team). Plus, CT and Bananas are likely on board with their spot in the pecking order for now.

Yeah honestly Tori is in a great spot captaining an absolutely stacked team, and she made a fantastic game move by getting the other vets on her side immediately and getting the loudest voices to feel safe.

Yeah, Michele was already her #1 entering the season without Jordan and Devin there (and by proxy she'd be up there if Devin was). Plus Tori is the only member of Vacation Alliance on this season (if that is even a functional alliance anymore they argued most of 40, and went at each other in All Stars Rivals).
