Drake_Blitz
|
Drake didn't seem to care about this season too much. He wasn't even in the Discord for the first day of the season. As far as I know, he didn't really talk to anyone. Someone just brought up his name and everyone jumped on board.

Dean was perceived as a big threat. There's really nothing else to say. This is definitely his last time playing in my longterm.

Dawsology
|
Dawson's vote was probably one of the most entertaining of the season. The vote was set to be Dawson, but all hell broke loose just minutes before tribal council. Lost and Paras ended up receiving votes, although it wasn't enough to keep Dawson in the game.

Alt_nat
|
Candace was probably one of the most robbed castaways this season. She was only voted out because Mel missed the session and didn't send a voting list. She had the votes to stay, too. Candace did nothing wrong, and was truly robbed.

Atlas did nothing in this entire season. He was supposed to be booted when Candace was, but Mel missing the session saved him. Cookie idoling Atlas out added to the season because Atlas was super boring to watch. Right before he was voted out, he said, "ok wtf at this point this is some sort of challenge cause i've somehow lasted 4 votes without playing the game". I just feel like him being in the season was pointless.

tyladoll
|
I feel really bad for Tyla. He deserved to go further. The consensus was that everyone wanted Cleo out next, but Tyla was close with Cleo, so he didn't want that. Tyla gave Cleo his idol to play, but people found out and sent him home instead. He definitely deserves a third chance at some point.

I have to give Cookie credit. He tried everything he could. He had a huge reputation that held him back from the beginning. After being put in the minority due to Mel missing Candace's vote off, Cookie idoled out Atlas, putting even more of a target on his back.

Hopesque
|
Hope was once again a powerhouse of a player. From the very start, he dominated the Heroes tribe. He was screwed over when Monkey didn't attend the session. Hope wanted to split the votes but couldn't since Monkey didn't send in a vote, and they didn't have the votes without him. Hope ended up getting idoled out by Paras. Hope was robbed, and honestly could've won the whole season. Dominating a tribe is extremely hard to do, not to mention that he did this in a season entirely made up of returning players. I think this makes Hope one of our best players.

EliseHeals
|
Elise was in the majority alliance on the Villains tribe, and would’ve probably made the merge if she had just stuck to it. She flipped to vote out one of her closest allies, Candace. The Villains united to vote out the biggest threat, but after that, Candace was put in the middle again. She and Kyle could either choose to go with Cookie and Mel or Turcia and Otto. They chose to go with Turcia and Otto, voting out Cookie, as they saw how close of a duo Cookie and Mel were. The next vote was supposed to be Mel, but when she and Cleo switched tribes, Elise and Cleo were put on the outs. Elise became the next boot. If Elise and Kyle went with Mel and Cookie, I’m pretty sure Elise would have made the merge along with Cookie and Mel instead of Turcia, Otto, and Cleo. The game would have been completely shaken up. I’m not saying Elise made any bad decisions. She just took risks and they didn’t really pay off.

Kyle didn’t really do much of anything until the final 14, when he was thrust into the middle along with Elise. The two of them chose to go with Turcia and Otto over Mel and Cookie. Kyle was actually on route to make the merge. If Mel and Cleo hadn’t swapped tribes, Kyle would have slid into the merge with Turcia and Otto, taking out Mel and Elise. Instead, Cleo, Turcia, and Otto banded together and got rid of Elise and Kyle. Kyle had an idol too, but Cleo convinced Kyle that he was safe.

Otto_01
|
Otto didn’t deserve to go out like this. He was blindsided by a few premerge votes, but still kept up his relationships. He was probably the biggest physical player in the cast, helping his tribe win a few challenges. He was just dragged down by his fellow tribe mates, who weren’t that great in challenges. When the Villains reached the merge, they were down in numbers due to losing 6 tribal immunity challenges. Drew won immunity, and the Heroes saw it as the perfect time to take out Otto, as they saw how much of a challenge threat he was. If Otto had just survived one more vote until things were shaken up, he could’ve had a real chance at winning the game.

Paras_Atashnak
|
Paras was in the minority on the Heroes tribe. She 100% would have gone home premerge if the Heroes had lost a couple more immunity challenges or if Paras hadn’t found an idol. Paras found 3 idols in total this season, and had 2 by the time final 9 came around. The Heroes decided that it was time to eliminate tribal lines, and so a group of Drew, Monkey, Mel, Color, and Lost banded together to all blindside Paras. Paras played neither of her idols, and was sent home with both in her pocket.

CleopatraDeTwilight
|
Even though Cleo did quit, I do have to give her credit. She played an okay game considering her circumstances. She was a major target on the Heroes tribe. Tyla gave her an idol but it was misplayed, and Tyla was sent home. Cleo definitely would have been sent home if the Heroes lost another challenge. Once she mutinied to the Heroes, her game picked up speed, and she soon was in the majority along with Otto and Turcia. The three of them worked together to eliminate Elise and Kyle. Cleo manipulated Kyle, causing him to hold onto his idol, resulting in his elimination. Cleo was once again put into the minority in the merge when she was reunited with the Heroes. She ended up walking after I confronted her about activity and laziness. I don’t think she would have made it to the end due to her not-so-great relationships with the Heroes, but I would’ve liked to see her try to talk her way out of the situation she was in.

LostPages
|
Page was Hope’s right hand person, and they were extremely close. Once Hope was idoled out, Page was on her own. She was one of the biggest contenders to win going into the merge, and she had a great social game, but everyone else knew this as well. Page was one vote away from going home at 3/6 tribal councils she attended, and then actually received the majority of votes at another. She received the most votes throughout the season, with 19 including a revote. (16 without the revote.)

CouIeur
|
Color was a really social player. She made strong bonds with everyone and ended up playing both sides once she reached the merge. After Lost left the game, it was clear that Color was the next biggest threat. I had doubts about bringing Color into this season, but she ended up doing pretty well.

oMelluhn
|
I honestly wish I didn’t bring Mel back. She was the most inactive person out of all twenty castaways, and missed sessions without voting lists multiple times. Her missing sessions without a voting list actually caused Candace to go home instead of Atlas, changing the course of the game. Mel was constantly unaware as to what was going on, and really just frustrated me. She seemed to not care about my longterm at all. I kept giving her chances, but she kept violating rules. I eventually had to expel her for inactivity and sending screenshots.

MonkeyBoy684
|
Monkey was an all around great player once again. He was extremely socially aware, and almost always knew what was going on around him. He subtly nudged people to do what he wanted without them thinking of him as a threat. He was also extremely strategic, knowing all the right moves to make and when to make them. He was so close to winning for the second time, as I think he could have won if he had just won that final 4 fire making tiebreaker. Even though he may not be the best at competitions, he makes up for it in his strategic and social game.

AuthentxcVibes
|
Zach played an amazing game last season, dominating the majority of it. This season, he switched up his gameplay. He played a more under-the-radar game. He wasn’t afraid to flip and take risks, but those risks didn't pay off. He was a unpredictable and untrustworthy wildcard who people wanted as a number. His biggest downfall was bringing Turcia to the end. The jury viewed Zach as Turcia’s follower, and didn't really respect his game. In a way, Zach gave up his own game to ensure that Turcia won. I get why he played the way he did up until the final 4, but the move of keeping Turcia just kinda changed the season for the worse.

Out of the three times that Drew has played, this was his best game. Drew was extremely socially aware, and always seemed to know what was going on inside other people’s heads. He knew that in order to impress this specific jury, he had to make flashy moves, so that’s what he did. He took the reins and went from being viewed as a sheep to being viewed as a powerful player to be reckoned with. I think he deserved to win this game, especially since he was so close. He was one vote away from winning, and I believe that Drew was truly robbed.

Turcia
|
Turcia was definitely one of the most frustrating players this season. He barely understood directions most of the time, and just got on my nerves a lot. He did practically nothing in the prejury portion, despite going to tribal 7 times then. In the merge, Turcia aquired a small target due to the Villains being in the minority. Big targets were picked off for the first few votes. At the final 7, all eyes turned to Turcia, and he became the next target. He found an idol, and so the vote was switched to Lost. He saved herself by winning immunity at final 6. He was saved by Mel being expelled at final 5. At final 4, Turcia lost the immunity challenge due to not reading the directions fully. Turcia was finally leaving the game, but Authentic decided to step in, sacrificing his game so that Turcia would win. I really feel like Turcia didn’t deserve this win.
