Proximity:
Gelinas
Burlon
Urbom
Merrill

Scarlett
Severson

Impact:
Merrill

This my guess from reading and sentiment gauges on the intertubes rather than actually watching guys (aside from Gelinas and Urbom).

My guess:

Proximity:
Urbom
Gelinas
Burlon
Merrill
Severson
Helgeson
Scarlett


Impact:
Merrill
Severson
Gelinas
Scarlett
Burlon/Urbom
Urbom/Burlon
Helgeson
