I had no idea how Aaryn would do in the season, since I didn't really get to see a lot of her gameplay last time she played. Unfortunately, she did have to quit at the first tribal council due to personal reasons. This had a monumental impact on the game though, as Comedy (the eventual winner) would've been voted out of the game at the first tribal council if Aaryn hadn't quit.

Zach was truly robbed. He wasn't picked for a tribe and was sent to the Island of the Dead. He had two opportunities to come back, but was robbed of both. He was 1 vote away from returning over Epic, and some people even had regrets about not voting Zach back in. He also was beaten in a series of challenges by Alec who ended up quitting anyways. I know how good of a player Zach is, as he won season 9 and made it to the final tribal council in season 10. He just wasn't given the opportunity to show his skills this time around. I'd love to see him come back for a fourth time.

I'm not gonna be harsh on Popdot. He's played 3 times and had survived a total of 1 tribal council. It's just impossible to win the way he plays. He makes alliances with almost everyone in the cast without making personal bonds with them. He plays way too hard way too fast, and I don't ever see that working out for him. Regardless, we love you Popdot. <3

I had high hopes for Alec. He seemed like a really good player from what I saw of him. He was voted out for targeting Military, but won his way back into the game through the Island of the Dead. He quit as soon as he got back into the game, which was a shame, as he could've gone far. I wish Zach had returned over Alec, as Zach was actually willing to play.

Epic was a very socially aware player. He wasn’t picked for a tribe in the beginning, but he didn’t let that stop him. He made his way back into the game and integrated himself into the majority on Yalo. He was unfortunately screwed by the tribe swap when he was placed into the minority. Epic definitely has potential that he hasn’t gotten to show yet.

I was surprised at how well Andrew did while he was in the game. Last season, he put together a large dominant alliance which controlled almost the entire game. I figured that he was only successful at that because he played against an inactive cast of newbies. This season, he proved me wrong. He took control of Yalo and had quite a bit of power, even if they didn't go to any tribal councils. Once the tribe swap happened, everyone turned on him. He definitely fits the "mafioso" archetype. Even though he is a powerful player, he sort of rubs me the wrong way and bugs me. He's definitely a villain who I love to root against.

I had wanted Donot to apply for a long time, so I was expecting a lot from him. He kinda let me down. He didn't have a great social game, as he didn't talk to the majority of the cast. He did have an extremely close bond with Drew from outside the game though. I thought this bond would carry Donot far into the game, but I was wrong. His lack of a social game eventually caught up to Donot, and he was sent home.

Eyiss

Eyiss is definitely not returning for another season (I'm not gonna go into why that is). He did disappoint me this season though. In season 9, he was one of the biggest threats. He was a great strategic player, and that just didn't show in this season. He was kinda just there in the background until he was idoled out by Daniel.

Wow, July was really a character. She was relentless in attacking Comedy. At times it seemed like she valued creating drama over actually winning. Regardless of this, July was in the majority for most of the pre-merge, so she was never in any real danger. She also only attended 1 tribal council before the merge. Almost all her allies were all picked off pre-merge. Like Andrew, she was a villain who I loved rooting against. Even though she was super frustrating to watch, she did spice up the season a bit.

Cookie didn't really make a lot of moves on his own. He mostly just worked with his alliance of Daniel and Comedy to get ahead. Regardless, I'd say he played a good game. He lasted the longest out of the newbies. He definitely has a lot of untapped potential, and I could see him doing better on his second try.

Military was a very minor player in the pre-merge and the season as a whole. He barely talked to anyone, not caring to create lasting bonds simply because he felt safe. He planned to stick with the majority alliance of 7, but he flipped to save Tyla. He was voted out the tribal after that. I really feel like Military could’ve gotten further if he had tried to bond with his tribe mates.

For the fourth time, Drew has been robbed. I’d say he’s the Cirie of Rodent Long Terms. He had a good social game and was in a pretty good position. He was set up to go far, and probably would have too. Blaze and Lost both played idols on themselves, leaving Drew with the only vote. There’s really nothing else to say except for that Drew has once again been robbed of a win. He deserves a win.

Daniel played a pretty good game overall. He was socially aware and almost always positioned himself in a spot to succeed. He always seemed to know where the votes were going and how to shake them up to cause paranoia. I wouldn't have minded Daniel winning, as he did play a pretty good game. He definitely stepped up his game from last time. Turning on his ally Comedy was the move that led to his downfall. I can't say it was a bad move though. Things just didn't work out in his favor. I think that if things had been slightly different, Daniel could have made it to the final 3.

From what I saw, Mike's game overall wasn't the best. He didn't form lasting bonds with people and was left out of the loop pretty often. He didn't vote in the majority once until the final 8. I kinda just saw Mike as the inactive of the season, and I'm pretty sure his tribe mates saw him as a goat.

If I'm being 100% honest, I think Blaze deserved to win. He had a great social game and formed strong bonds with most of the cast. He always set himself up to succeed in the game. He always seemed to be in a good spot. He always knew where the votes were going and how to go with the flow of the game. Even when he didn't know what was going on, he was able to spin it to his advantage by creating stronger social bonds. These strong social bonds saved Blaze at the final 5 when Mike wanted to turn on him. At the final 4, he convinced Tyla to give him a chance at firemaking. If Blaze won the firemaking challenge, he would've won the game. Blaze is a genuinely funny and nice person who 100% deserves another chance to play.

Lost played a pretty under-the-radar game this time around, keeping her target small. This was a complete 180 from how she played last time, as she was one of the biggest threats in Heroes vs Villains. She managed to keep the target off her back and planned out her game pretty well. It worked to get her to the final 3, but she played too passively to win in the eyes of the jury. Lost showed this season that she is a versatile player and can adapt to many styles of play.

Tyla played a solid game for most of the pre-merge. He aligned himself with Donot and Drew and just went with the flow of the game until he was idoled out by Comedy. He won his way back into the game through the Island of the Dead. Tyla managed to stay safe, but one by one, his strongest allies were blindsided. He rolled with the punches and played with the hand he was dealt. He played a loyal game, sticking with Blaze until the end. I'm proud of him for being one of the only contestants to make the final tribal council twice.

Comedy deserves this win. Even if I kinda wanted Blaze to get it over him, I can't deny that Comedy played an amazing game. He was a constant target, and actually would've been the first boot if Aaryn hadn't quit the game. He also could've very likely gone home if he hadn't played an idol on himself at Tyla's original vote-off. He got insanely lucky this season. There were so many times when I thought he would leave. He endured July's insults all season, which was a challenge on its own. He had a great social and strategic game, and I loved watching him play. His confessionals were extremely detailed and thought out. He deserved to win last season, and he definitely deserves to win this season. I'm proud of Comedy.
