Still trying to get to know everyone, Sam sought the advice of Charlotte to try and figure out who were really the big strategic players in the game.

"I feel really close to you and Ava, you guys have been really welcoming," Sam began telling Charlotte.

But it wasn't long before Charlotte gave Sam a very honest warning about Ava.

"I think you've got a really unique opportunity to move on one of the big strategic players and I'm not sure if you've identified who those players are yet," Charlotte said.

"Everyone is going to behave differently around you. They're playing the game."

Charlotte named Ava as a "surprising" threat in the competition.

"She's the biggest strategy mind here and I'm not saying that makes her a bad person," Charlotte said.
