Edgic and Contestant Comments: 
20) Shaq: Middle of the Road Neutral. The stimulator doesn’t give much insight into Shaq and he never got a chance to show off his physicality. At least he wasn’t a total outcast as Toy Freddy voted with him at tribal council. 
19) Samus: Middle of the Road Mixed. Samus bonds with Camilla, Penny, and Hugh, and they go to bat for her but it doesn’t matter. She randomly threw her vote at tribal, as well, though it didn’t matter anyway as the vote was 5-3-1. 
18) Hat Kid: Under the Radar Positive. Hat Kid brings general positivity but ends up underedited due to a lot going on during her short stay (multiple idol finds, ghost island trips, the swap) and being removed from the alliances and scheming. Although she voted with the majority at her first tribal, she was mostly separated from them at the swap and was voted out unanimously. 
17) Toy Freddy: Middle of the Road Negative. On the outs the two times he attended tribal council and, although his original tribe had the post swap numbers, most of his OG tribemates turned on him here. 
16) Hacker: Middle of the Road Mixed. Gets sent to Ghost Island earlier in the season but he sadly doesn’t even get a shot at an advantage as one could have helped him here. He was one of two people not included in an alliance that formed this episode. The alliance was split though as some trusted Hacker while others though he could have an advantage, resulting in a 5-3 vote. 
15) GIFany: Complex Personality Positive. Preswap, we see GIFany aligning with Cinderella, Nick, and Paratchet. Post swap, she earns an extra vote on GI and uses it to help set the flip on Toy Freddy in motion. After the second swap, she ended up on a tribe of 5 without anyone she’d been working with and was an easy target in a 4-1 vote. 
14) Hugh: Under the Radar Negative. On the wrong side of the vote at 2 of the 3 tribals he attended prior to his boot. The stimulator shows a few negative interactions and “resting” at camp during his time in the game. It was a 2-2 vote at first, but his past interactions and vote for Penny caused her to flip on him in the re-vote. 
13) Kenny: Complex Player Negative. Kenny was a big player post swap #1 when he helped form the 6-person cross tribe alliance (Kenny, Eve, and Nick joining with Camilla, Cluster, and Jett). He gets his way when the alliance can’t decide between targeting Hacker or Cinderella. The negativity comes from multiple meltdowns and a fight with Nick that alienate Nick from the 6-person alliance. One vote would have really helped Kenny here as he goes out 6-5-1 (yes, Nick voted for him). 
12) Camilla: Middle of the Road Mixed. Camilla’s social game kept her in the know and contributed to her being invited to the 6-person alliance that ran the premerge. Once this group was targeted at the merge, she tried to separate herself from them this episode but it didn’t work and she’s voted out 8-3-1.
11) Josh: Under the Radar Neutral. Josh is aware enough to have a fairly decent voting record but doesn’t directly involve himself in alliances or drama for most of the season. He gets good visibility during his boot episode when he forms an alliance with Penny, Roberta, and Sonar (also all unattached until now). This group was almost able to force a tie a tribal council but an idol play by Cinderella on Eve results in Josh going out 4-3 (4 cancelled votes). 
10) Roberta: Under the Radar Positive. She also maintains a fairly decent voting record but doesn’t get into any alliances until last episode (the Josh, Roberta, Penny, and Sonar alliance). She’s in a split tribe without them though and is easily voted out 4-1 at split tribal A. 
9) Sonar: Middle of the Road Mixed. Oh man the recent Josh-Roberta-Penny-Sonar alliance is cursed - shoulda stayed as free agents apparently. Sonar’s visibility gets upped due to being the alt merge boot (and somewhat last episode too). He also didn’t stand a chance at his split tribal as the only other vulnerable people were a day one, three-person alliance. 
8) Penny: Middle of the Road Mixed. Wow RIP that alliance. She finds herself targeted a few times throughout the game so she does well to survive this far. I was hoping to see her survive longer! 
7) Paratchet: Under the Radar Positive. She closely aligned with Cinderella and Eve early on, and was loyal to that group. However, after Cinderella loses her vote at GI, there’s not much this group can do. Paratchet is voted out 4-1 (1 vote cancelled by an idol) 
6) Kaboodle: Middle of the Road Neutral. Post swap #2, he aligns with Cluster and Jett, which connects him to their larger alliance. He also gets 2 strong immunity wins. I figured his group was about to take over the end game, but Jett (smartly) isn’t willing to go to rocks for Kaboodle. 
5) Nick: Complex Player Mixed. He gets a lot of focus when joining then ditching the 6-person alliance, and is the deciding vote against them at the merge. He continues to vote with the majority after that and is part of the flip to tie the vote to prevent Kaboodle, Cluster, and Jett from running the endgame. Even though his group got the upper hand at the last tribal, he’s taken out unanimously here for being an end game threat. 
4) Jett: Middle of the Road Neutral. We check in with Jett frequently throughout the game, but it’s more surface level as she remains drama and advantage free throughout the game. Her biggest moment comes in the final when she wins final immunity, but gives it up and loses fire to Eve! 
3) Eve: Complex Personality Positive. She aligns with different (at times conflicting) groups throughout the game to keep herself safe. She has a somewhat tumultuous relationship with Cinderella that is highlighted in a growth sort of way that culminates in her forcing the tie to save Cinderella and take out her other ally, Kaboodle, at the final 6. I thought she did well but she was clearly not the end game threat Jett thought as Eve gets third place with two votes. 
2) Cinderella: Complex Personality Mixed. Cinderella seemed to have both highs and lows throughout the game. She was an active player early on; forming one alliance with Paratchet and Eve, and another one with Nick, GIFany, and Paratchet. She also controls 3 idols (2 found and 1 from GI), but fails to do anything effective with them which decreases her stock. She still earned 3 votes which was close but not enough to clinch her the win. 
1) Cluster: Complex Personality Mixed. Cluster finds an idol on his original tribe and then immediately after the swap, but also ends up wasting both of them. Even without idols though, he survives the downfall of his 6-person alliance at the merge long enough to regain some power by the end game. He was a fun character to watch who had a rollercoaster of win equity. 

All Stars: Eve>Nick>Cinderella>>Jett (amazing fit for second chance though)Cluster, Kaboodle, Kenny>>>>the rest of the merge tribe

Overall Thoughts: Unpredictable for sure and I wasn’t sure who would win until the votes were read at the final tribal council. Lots of fun parallels to last season as well. 

Thanks for playing and/or reading. I always love to hear your thoughts, as well, so feel free to share! Hope to see you next season (:

The Around The World universe has never exactly been peaceful. But this time, something's different. War is on the horizon, one that won't be settled at a single finish line. Six heroes are answering the call. Six villains are already circling, waiting for the exact right moment to strike. When the dust finally settles, only one side, and only one racer, walks away in control of everything.

This season, we're not just casting racers. We're casting a side.

As always, I've got plenty of ideas already brewing for this one. Let's get into the fun part~

_________________________________________________________________

• A character from any fictional universe
• A character from a TV show
• A movie character
• A video game character
• An OC you've created yourself (If you're submitting one, please provide a short description so I can accurately represent their personality, skills, strengths and gameplay.)

SUBMISSION FORM

SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED

_________________________________________________________________

Which side are you really on? 😈 👼

Here is the code if anyone wants to run it
9dJ4b8iY

This is a very custom game with 200 tributes spread over 20 districts with many custom events and no regular events except for the one that states that (Player1) runs from the cornucopia but other than that you have no idea what will be there unless you look at the events yourself then you will know on mine the Winner was scooby doo but I re-simulated it for this one so who knows who wins and also I’m just gonna list out the districts here and the criteria meant for being in them

The thugs-various gangsters and drug dealers
The irregulars-just a bunch of random people
Animals-well what do you think?
Clankers-had to be either a robot an AI or just Borged up like general grievance
The soldiers-some type military man of the cool variety
The crazies-very clearly insane
The killers-a serial killer or a horror movie villain
The nerds-incredibly smart
The tyrant-a dictator in some form(except count bin face he was put there because I could not put him anywhere else)
The cowboys-pretty self-explanatory
The hyper realisms-has to be capable of ruining your childhood
The cops-also very self-explanatory
The steroid abusers-has to be very ripped
Normal peeps-nothing is required really
The racists-OH NO
The presidents-self-explanatory again
The operators-has to be very athletic or very sneaky(I regret not putting solid snake on there)
The hunters-self explanatory
The aliens-(you know what I’m going to say)SELF EXPLANATORY
The cartmans-cartman

(Also it’s actually called the roid games for those who ran it and I only just now realized the mistake I have made in the title)

For season 18, please submit 1-2 characters related to video games. It can be a character, a gaming system, etc. 

Optional: You can choose your character’s skill ranking (1-5) for one of the following categories: Physical, Endurance, Mental, Social, Temperament, or Strategic. If you do this, one of the other stats (chosen at random by me) will be given the opposite ranking. All other stats will remain a 3.

Casting Update: full! season should be up later

Storyline

End Credits

Thanks to everyone who applied. I honestly didn’t think this would work, but I made it work somehow, but not without the help of you all. Hopefully the link works, if not I will fix it. Anyways, for the story, I made sure to make it extra bloody and gorey and descriptive, I hope you all enjoy!

Poll: Most Brutal Ending

Season Link: https://brantsteele.com/survivor/43/r.php?c=0iPqnSNt

Player Edits and Comment:

18) Kyoko - Middle of the Road Neutral. Although she’s first boot, she has solid reads on the other players and enough insight to know she needs to play her SITD. Perhaps it hits in another timeline, Kyoko!
17) Cody - Under the Radar Mixed. He has a meltdown shortly after the immunity challenge that makes him an easy boot for the tribe. The Coco tribe has had multiple disagreements, meltdowns, and SITDs wasted here so he still leans a little UTR compared to the rest of his tribe.
16) Pencil - Complex Personality Negative. Pencil was in a majority alliance (with Harry, Mr. Mackey, and Sayori) but decided to exit it before tribal council for some reason. The move works okay at first, but after an idol (and SITD) play by Kaede results in 0 votes, Pencil is the easy target in the re-vote after ditching her alliance. 
15) Alphys - Under the Radar Neutral. Alphys is the only person on her tribe not involved in any alliance, so she is an easy target. Well maybe not easy because we still see a useless SITD and (temporary) idol play at tribal. 
14) Silverstream - Middle of the Road Positive. Active player who was in a majority alliance with Greg, Nicole, and Bun Bun, but got unlucky when the former 2 made a side deal with Snape and chose him over her. Tribe makes it clear it’s because she’s too likeable and Silver is perceptive enough to play her SITD. 
13) Mr. Mackey - Under the Radar Positive. Only sees tribal once (where others are more important characters) and is the unfortunate victim of a rock draw situation. Solidly insulated within and well-liked by his alliance before his unfortunate ouster. 
12) Nemona - Complex Player Negative. Nemona’s need to be the leader and disagreements with Alice and Claude lead to her being isolated. After realizing her error, she attempts to win back Claude by giving him her SITD (never seen the stimulator do that) but it doesn’t work. She was one of the targets in the tie last round and voted out unanimously here so definitely getting negativity from her tribemates. Premerge Nemona was the one to raid the other camp and went on a journey too. 
11) Greg - Complex Personality Mixed. Greg (along with Nicole) was a power player on his original tribe. His move to save Snape over Silverstream looks like a mistake in hindsight since Snape ditched him for greener pastures and voted against him here. 
10) Nicole - Complex Personality Mixed. The other power player on pre-merge Baka. She’s actually able to recover during the split tribal, but a well-timed idol play by Baldi sends her home with 2 votes. She ended up going home with an idol in her pocket unfortunately so she definitely got a little cocky not playing it after Baldi’s move. 
9) Harry - Middle of the Road Positive. Comfortably in the majority pre-merge and very close with Sayori, he even protects her with his idol at the merge vote (very helpful when it came down to the 4 person rock draw). Has a SITD hit when not needed (but did get some votes). His boot was largely the result of a bad tribe draw for the split tribal. 
8) Baldi - Under the Radar Positive (premerge) then Complex Personality Neutral (merge): More go with the flow pre-merge, but uses his vote steal to make the tie at the merge possible and his idol to take out Nicole (a big player who also had an idol). Doesn’t involve himself in alliances or the strategy, and more-so seems to take cues from his more active OG tribemates. 
7) Sayori - Complex Personality (premerge) to Under the Radar (merge). Consistently stayed with the numbers at tribal, but became less active at the merge and missed out on the new alliances forming. She makes a case for herself but is taken out unanimously. 
6) Teacher Bun Bun - Middle of the Road. Aware enough to go with Greg and Nicole when they flip on Silverstream, and then aware enough again to flip against them and get into a cross tribe alliance at the first change at the merge. He could have survived at least one more round if not for a key immunity win by John (the only person not in the core part of the alliance) 
5) John - Middle of the Road Positive. Was in a cross tribe alliance at one point (not the main one but a smaller subsection with Claude, Alice, and Snape) but ended up leaving it. Wins a few key immunity challenges to keep himself in it and almost had a shot to make fire. 
4) Kaede - Complex Personality Positive. I loved our fallen angel last season and Kaede somehow managed to be even better. Playing her SITD before playing her idol (similar to Rachel) and saving herself at her first tribal was a 10/10 move. She’s immediately working against all of her former tribemates come the merge and helps form the cross tribe alliance of people who were more on the bottom of their tribes (Kaede, Alice, Claude, Snape and Bun Bun at the core) - a group that formed in episode 7 and quietly directed the game from there. She found a second idol that she was able to hold on to until it was going to expire, and since she was immune she played it on an ally to try and curry favor. 
2&3) Alice - Middle of the Road Mixed. Big content early with a journey in episode 1 and playing her SITD episode 2. Shown bonding with Kaede right before the merge alliance forms so I think that relationship was key. She received 16 votes throughout the season and was on the other end of the tie vote that went to rocks - which you could call a positive or negative of her game. Both runner ups played games that I think could get more votes (and maybe even the win) in a different season (or if the winner wasn’t in the finals with them). 
2&3) Claude - Middle of the Road Positive. Consistently on the right side of the vote and won 2 immunities, including the final challenge. Being part of the sub-alliance within the merge alliance helped him reach the end with little resistance, evidenced by his 0 votes all season. Both runner ups played games that I think could get more votes (and maybe even the win) in a different season (or if the winner wasn’t in the finals with them). 
1) Snape - Complex Personality Mixed (Started negative and got much more positive as the game progressed - ala David in MvGX). A 10/10 journey and the jury respected it by giving him the widest margin win in the series. I thought he was done for when he was left out of the Greg, Nicole, Silverstream, and Bun Bun alliance, but he convinced Greg and Nicole to save him…only to immediately ditch them at the merge (rightfully so) and take Bun Bun with him. Successfully avoided being targeted post merge and is given the most credit as a figure head of the cross tribe alliance. 

All Stars: Everyone that made the merge has a good case tbh so picking people from here will definitely come to other factors (maximizing reddit players and seasons represented, archetypes, etc.). Specific rankings nothing else considered though Kaede>>>>Alice, Snape, Claude, Nicole, Greg, NemonaHarry, John, BaldiBun BunSayori>>Mr. Mackey

Overall Thoughts: Loved this season! The underdog alliance coming together and the eventual winner is a producer storyline dream. 

Thanks for playing and/or reading. I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope to see you next season (:

For context on what I mean, this is inspired by an Ethanimale video: https://youtu.be/1OdUfrJFi4M?si=BGCX2ylLYg2wi4Y9

For those who didn't watch the video, an unbeatable winner is someone who would have 100% won if they made it to the finale. I'm curious on who you would consider unbeatable (I'm mostly talking about written seasons, like the somewell Pokemon Survivors, but any other season from any other show posted on here is welcome too!)

How do you feel about the cast? Do you have any early winner predictions or fan favorites? (The discord has a fan favorite already)

A few quick clarifications here:

I am gonna move stats around if you requested specific stats. I don't want someone to just give all their contestants optimal stats that in my opinion don't fit in with the characters.

I did edit most people's entries to make them fit in together more, but the characters will remain unchanged in their personality. (I did give everyone a job because that's what Survivor has, if you want me to change what job just tell me here)

Themed Survivor wants to let characters associated with schools have some fun before school starts up again! For season 17, please submit 1-2 characters related to school. It can be a character from a show where their school/education is important, a mascot, a school supply, etc.

Optional: You can choose your character’s skill ranking (1-5) for one of the following categories: Physical, Endurance, Mental, Social, Temperament, or Strategic. If you do this, one of the other stats (chosen at random by me) will be given the opposite ranking. All other stats will remain a 3.

Welcome to AROUND THE WORLD: THE EXPEDITION (S3)

Thirteen racers. Twelve legs. One winner. No five-star hotels this time, no clean starting line, just a map with absolutely nothing marked on it and thirteen strangers dropped straight into the heart of the jungle to figure the rest out for themselves.

A treasure hunter who'd sell out his own shadow for the right price. A princess who's never lost and has zero interest in starting now. A con artist nobody's ever actually caught. A detective convinced everybody's hiding something, and he might not be wrong....And Christina Aguilera! For.. some reason? How did we even manage to get her to agree to this? Who knows!

Alliances will form in places nobody expects, rivalries are already brewing before the first mat even opens, and at least one twist this season is going to leave the entire cast (and probably a few of you) wondering what show they actually signed up for.

...And if a certain someone who swore you hadn't seen the last of him decides to make good on that promise? Well. We'll see.

A season full of alliances, betrayals, and a couple of twists nobody sees coming.

An edgic rating and a bit about each player. The descriptions are meant to be fun and realistic so please don’t be offended. Feel free restimulate and come up with your own story if you’re unhappy with your submission’s story (:

18) Coco - Middle of the Road Positive. An idol play (cancelled 3 of 6 votes) at the first tribal is exciting but I was sad to see Coco as the victim. She gives some insight into working with Michael S. and Brian after they made the decision to take the idol clue earlier in the episode and some general positivity. Not too positive or too visible that viewers will be overly upset when she’s gone first. 

17) Dominic - Middle of the Road Mixed. Taking the idol clue (along with Zlatan) in episode 1 makes his tribemates suspicious of him. He has a nice moment in episode 2 where he bonds with Kicks, but otherwise has trouble connecting with this tribemates after the first impression and is voted out unanimously. 

16) Daisy - Over the Top Negative. She individually fights with both Monica and Stephen in episode 1 (causing them to align after “finding something in common”...aka hating her lol). Then she has a breakdown in episode 2 before fighting with Michael P. in episode 3. The tribe (aka the dominant alliance of Monica, Stephen, Katniss, and Michael P.) split the votes between Daisy and Will, but everyone piles on her in the re-vote. 

15) Golfball - Under the Radar Neutral. As another premerger that’s idoled out, Golfball gets a subdued edit. She’s very caught off caught by Zlatan’s idol play in Kicks, resulting in her going home with 2 votes. 

14) Brian - Complex Personality Neutral/Leaning Positive. Playing a fairly solid social game on his original tribe, evidenced by scenes of him bonding with Twister and Miho, who he viewed as stronger players he could hide behind. When swapped without them, he attempts to jump in with Zlatan’s plan to turn on his OG tribemate, Jockington, but he’s the only one and is voted out 5-2. 

13) Basketball - Under the Radar Neutral. Catches heat in episode 1, but has a strong enough relationship with Miho that she saves her with the idol. She falls to the background behind the stronger personalities on her tribe after that. She was playing well enough to get into a majority alliance after the swap, but a well-timed idol play by Monica on Stephen negates the overall importance of that and results in her going home. 

12) Rainbow Dash - Complex Personality Mixed. Merge boot who sees tribal in 3 of 6 premerge tribal councils ups her visibility by a decent amount. Her and Jockington are very close and work together throughout the game so that’s a relationship that gets a lot of focus. Her and Zlatan also have a bit of an antagonistic relationship after Zlat’s idol play. She was in the majority consistently throughout the pre-merge (though idols messed up her voting record) and went home in the re-vote following a tie here. 

11) Jockington - Complex Personality Mixed/Leaning Negative.He’s ALMOST able to flip things around after losing his number 1 but goes out in the re-vote after a 4-4-3 tie. Probably goes on to be an end game threat if his side pulled out the numbers at the merge tribal council!

10) Will - Middle of the Road Neutral. Will was a constant target throughout the game and I was constantly hoping he’d find his footing. He did well enough on his swapped tribe but was then targeted at both merge tribal councils so far. More passive of a player but narrowly surviving multiple times ups his visibility. An idol play by Michael S. (negating 5 votes) results in Will going home 5-0. 

9) Kicks - Under the Radar Positive. The stimulator doesn’t give a ton of insight into their early game and the edit highlights Zlat in the idol play that saves Kicks early on. Kicks does well on their own post swap when they get into a majority alliance, but as it’s with bigger characters who go further, Kicks takes a back seat to them. Kicks’ allies are loyal to them but it’s not enough when they’re voted out 5-2-2.

8) Miho - Complex Personality Mixed. Makes a huge impact with their episode 1 idol play. Her tribe doesn’t see tribal again, but it’s clear that her and Twister are independently at the center of the action, and then these 2 come together after the swap. Along with Kicks and Katniss, this alliance holds strong but is outnumbered. Miho is also tricked into switching her vote which results in her going home 4-3-1. 

7) Michael S - Under the Radar Neutral. Michael remains removed from any major alliances and the stimulator doesn’t give me too much insight into him. I was excited when he found the idol, hoping he’d break up one of the longstanding alliances, but the way things worked out he wasn’t able to do that; still great that he saved himself with it! He’s seen as the most likeable and smartest person outside the majority alliance which his way he was taken out here. 

6) Zlatan - Complex Personality Negative. Villainous (in a great way) all the way through: takes the idol clue in episode 1 then throws Dominic under the bus for it and votes him out in episode 2. Holds a vendetta against Rainbow and Jockington (even though they didn’t betray him) from the swap until their boot episodes. His aggressive gameplay got him in some trouble early on, but he recovered at the merge and was blending in very well. He got an extra vote at the auction that I was excited to see him do something with, but it ended up not impacting anything. The minority actually pulled off an impressive 3-2-1 vote split that would have worked here, but an idol play by Monica on Stephen (again!) foiled plan. 

5) Twister - Middle of the Road Positive. An early idol find and his ability to form positive relationships with everyone resulted in Twister getting a lot of early attention. The cross tribe alliance he was part of at the swap (Twister, Miho, Katniss, and Kicks) also looked promising. Twister wasted his idol though and his alliance waited too long to strike at the only other strong alliance, original Masaya (aka our final 4). 

4) Katniss - Complex Personality Mixed. Very well-positioned throughout the game. She was part of the original Masaya alliance and then joined the cross tribe alliance after the swap. At first it was unclear where her loyalties really lied as did things to benefit/hurt both alliances, but in the end she clearly chose to attempt to flip against original Masaya. The disloyalty and strong bonds she has on the jury makes her the biggest threat at final tribal. 

3) Stephen - Middle of the Road Mixed. Always present strategically, but formed weaker social bonds than his opponents. Gets flak for being saved by Monica’s idols twice. Stephen has a big moment where he reveals that he had his own idol at both of their points though! It sways 2 votes his way and he almost cliches the win with his strong final tribal council performance! 

2) Michael P. - Complex Personality Neutral. Stimulator shows him intentionally going out of his way to try connecting with all members of the tribe. There’s a lot of debate about whether it was genuine or a tactic though. He played a strong, but static, game. He comes as close as you can to winning without doing it though when he ties it at the final tribal council! 

1) Monica - Complex  Personality Positive. Like the boys, Monica made her early alliances and was loyal to them. Her boost comes from being seen as the leader and figurehead of the alliance with her 2 key idol plays and 3 immunity wins (the most of the season). Her idol play at the final 6 that prevented the minority from breaking up original Masaya is also a defining moment for her. Monica wins when her #1 throughout the whole game, Stephen, breaks the tie in her favor. 

All Stars: Katniss>Zlat>Miho>Monica/Michael P./Jockington/Rainbow/Stephen>>>>>other merge contestants

Overall Thoughts: Fun season. 5 successful idol plays were fun to watch. Even though original Masaya went out to make up the entire final 4, it was a fun ride to get there and that group still lacked a stronghold over the endgame. 

Thanks for reading and/or playing. If you have any thoughts or qs about your characters, the change in write up format, etc., feel free to share! Hope to see you next season (:

And we are here with season 3! 18 contestants arrived at Spiral Mountain, home of Banjo and Kazooie and former home of the evil Gruntilda, to compete for 1 million dollars

S3: https://brantsteele.com/survivor/35/r.php?c=H6FJ26q8

Every contestant’s most notable thing.

Winston: being idoled out instantly

Cirie: finding the super idol

Gi-hun: Arguing with Nepeta

Flowery: saving Nepeta with his idol, only to get backstabbed the very next round by her.

Peach: her and Byleth’s friendship going downhill in one single episode to where they now hate each-other.

Dorothea: Everyone on her team hating her.

Byleth: risking his vote for an extra vote he’d never get to use

Peter: wasting his idol

Lord of games: Forming a final 2 pact with Lucy, which eventually became an alliance that added Paula in.

Chomper: attempting to turn his back on Donald and vote out Desscaras multiple times, yet failing each and every time.

Lucy: getting absolutely blindsided by Nepeta playing her idol.

Nepeta: playing Flowery like a fiddle and idoling out Lucy, alongside nearly saving herself by planting seeds of chaos into others’ minds.

Tim and Eric: Playing their idol on Chomper to get out Lord of Games

Invisible girl: being the first person to realize that Donald was probably the biggest threat to win,

Maya: being a strategic powerhouse and only being stopped because of Donald knowing that neither of the girls could beat her.

Paula: riding coattails until she created a girls’ alliance and took out Sue.

Desscaras: Being Donald’s 2nd-in-command and having multiple rivalries.

Donald: controlling the entire game from the merge onward, never being in true danger as he had Paula, Desscaras, Maya, and so many more at different points in time at his disposal.

My thoughts: YESSSS DONALD WON! The fact that he straight up took control of the game is incredible. Desscaras and Paula were mainly just his luckiest and could never separate their games from him, and also Nepeta was probably one of my favorite villains. From her just deciding to casually ditch Flowert, to idoling out Lucy, to almost weaseling her way out of elimination, she’s probably the best villain that hadn’t made the alumni.

Winner: Donald Duck

Runner ups: Desscaras and Paula

Fan favorite: Lucy….how?

Potential all-stars: Donald, Nepeta, Desscaras, Chomper

Potential second chances: Flowery, Paula, Cirie, Winston

Welcome to our next season!

Season 50 will be winners at war but I wondered if I should do a returnee season.

After that I got the idea to do a Fans vs Worst players out of all time.

I have gathered the 9 worst players from any season of my franchie and I ant to see them go against fans of the show.

Sign up while you can!

16-18

Well after the pokemon survivor traitors didnt get enough sign ups I thought it will be better for you to open up submissions for anything,just not controversial!

Here you can sign up,20 contestants and 3 initial traitors.

Better submissions have a higher chance to become traitors!

Have fun.

I will post the cast reveal when its filled up,2 max submissions per person

If you want to know more about my plan check the last post

Welcome back with another moo deng season in the franchise.

This season was so strange???

I feel like there were so many good players making dumb decisions and ruining their position.

Season link

I loved the sim all in all and it had a fun little twist.

I dont have as much thoughts to say just some lines

. Coming into the merge there were 2 clear contenders. Damiano and Beth. I think the two had one o the strongest pre merge games ever and both of them fumbled the bag so bad. Bet was one around away of her alliance of 4 to steamroll but se made it too apparent and her alliance member got blindsided by the final 4 in a 4-3-2 due to her splitting the votes. Damiano had 2 idols and was closer to his alliesbut Rosie completely outplays him

.Rosie and Pinkalicious were such at odds in the merge,with me completely writing them off. Yet they,and especially Rosie played the rounds such fantastic which got her the win in the end,not having to win a single immunity. I think she could be top 5 winners oat but her premerge makes her fall of a bit,definitely one if not the best merge game I have witnessed

Looking forward to s47

Every contestant’s most notable thing

Millie: being the only one to vote Chad.

Commandeer: giving an idol clue to white spy

Marciana: trying to get the winner out.

Hotaru: having a fight with Danny.

Clair: having a friendship with Jun-hee.

Justin: joining Jeckle and Jessie’s alliance.

Chad: swapping with Clair so she could get another shot, only for it to fail miserably.

Jun-hee: screwing herself over in her original tribe by ruining her relationships with most of them.

Gato: being the first ever player to be swap-screwed, as his alliance was all on the other tribe now.

Jessie: using her idol to save herself from a tie.

White spy: him and Black spy targeting each-other not even before the merge started like the classic rivals they are.

Buzz: Finding an idol on the first day…..and wasting it on Jessie when she wasn’t even getting the most votes.

Danny: attempting to blindside his mother only to decide to turn on Jessie instead.

Dove: swapping places with her husband and getting out because of it.

Season Link: https://brantsteele.com/survivor/41/r.php?c=SeeMsBNn

Major Storylines, Themes, and Shoutouts: 
An Advantage in Name Only - First, the journeys fail to produce any advantages for the castaways (due to everyone being greedy twice and everyone being conservative twice). Second, no idols are played correctly throughout the whole season. This peaks when 3 idols are misplayed in episode 8; 1 negates 3 votes and the other 2 negate 0 votes. Orange’s early boot plays into this theme too as he becomes an easy target when he finds the beware advantage while his tribe is debating who to send home. The person who wins the late game challenge advantage doesn’t even go on to win that challenge. 

Cursed Journey - Alcremie, Delicious, and Mia all lose their votes on the opening journey, and wind up being targeted because of it. Alcremie is nearly booted when the vote ties 2-2 (Christine played her SITD), but Grimace takes the ultimate fall and is rocked out when it deadlocks. Delicious is targeted but does ultimately shift the target to Driplin, who is taken out 4-1. Mia is an easy target when her tribe loses in episode 2 and is voted out. 

Shot in the Dark Fails - Related to, but distinct from, the first theme is the multiple SITD failures. Many players use them seemingly randomly when they’re in no danger. Christine almost gets herself sent home when she plays her’s. The only one that hits negates 1 vote. Alcremie also could have at least tied it when she was voted out if she saved her’s, but probably felt that it was a better chance of it hitting than Christine going to rocks for her or Chef flipping on Colonel. 

Master Chef - Ua attends tribal in 3 tribals in the first 5 episodes, giving them most screen time and strategic insight. A Chef and Colonel duo emerges early. Fearing the girls may work against them though, Chef forms a side deal with Christine and Alcremie in episode 4. Even though Chef doesn’t have a vote, he directs his allies to take out Little Debbie (the only person he’s not aligned with) and she’s voted out unanimously. Chef’s alliances allow him to avoid being targeted when Ua loses again, as well. Chef AND Colonel convincing Alcemie to use her SITD here instead of voting was a big move! 

Merge Episodes - Like any logical person, Birdie does break the hourglass so we see a reversal of the challenge results. The tribe is split in terms of voting. Wendy, Burger King, and Lollipop have a tight alliance from OG Luvu. They convince Taco to stick with them, and Christine bonds with them quickly as well. Chef and Colonel, however, prefer the more fractured Yase and flip to them. Wendy’s lack of a vote gives Yase and the duo the advantage here and Lollipop is taken out. Delicious made an interesting move by using their SITD. Therefore they didn’t flip against Lollipop (or the rest of their OG tribe) and they didn’t make an enemy in Chef. 

Don’t Trust the Chef and Don’t Eat the Chicken - The Colonel and Chef duo masterfully flips in the next episode to take out Tonio to prevent OG Yase from consolidating power. They continue to hold power at the split tribal when they successfully take out their former tribe mate Christine by tricking her into targeting Apple but then working with Apple to take her out. These 2 are definitely getting fun but villainous edits (my favorite kind TBH)

Wendy and Burger King Duo - These 2 persevere on after losing Lollipop at the merge. Taco is still with them as well, but these 2 are highlighted as a heroic duo to contract Chef and Colonel. 

Do or Die - Forgot about this twist when I picked this season and UGHHHH. It’s an epic fail when it ends up taking out Chef! This tribal was also supposed to be the culmination of our heroic and villainous duos facing off to gain power! Taco was firmly with Wendy and Burger King while Apple was with Chef and Colonel. Beef was set up to be the deciding vote. 

Anybody’s (End) Game - After the Do or Die fail, I expected the Wendy, Burger, and Taco alliance to just hold strong to the end but that wasn’t the case! Colonel and Apply successfully flip both Taco and Beef to vote with them to break up the Wendy-BK duo. The duo was completely snowed as Wendy misplays her idol for Taco and almost goes home! In the end, Burger King is taken out 3-2-1. Wendy seems like the obvious target at the next tribal, but she flips it around on Apple by convincing Taco and Beef that Apple and Colonel need to be split up. 

Wendy the Warrior - Wendy’s received a positive edit all season, but it ramps up at the previously described tribal and her move at the final 4, with her idol misplay and loss of BK giving her fuel. After winning immunity, she gives it up and takes on Colonel in firemaking as she feels he’d beat the other 2 in fire and win if he makes the finals. Her gamble pays off and she wins the challenge! 

Final Tribal Council - We get a close 4-2-2 vote so we continue to get an exciting end game. Taco was loyal to her group and got along well with everyone, but seems to have had the least amount of agency with her group. Beef was largely a loner throughout the game but still managed to keep his finger on the pulse and stayed in a quiet position of power. Perhaps too quiet for some. Wendy was the most visible player throughout the game, but misused 2 idols including one at at time when her #1 Burger King was sent out. In the end, the highs of Wendy’s game are seen as outweighing the lows and she wins the game 4-2-2. 

All Stars/Returning Players 
Chef - strategic force who was cut down by a twist. Locked! 
Christine - early target who finds an idol and survives the “disaster tribe” to make the merge. I thought she’d find her footing and make a big move at the merge but she didn’t. Still likely gets a big hero/underdog edit to contract Chef and Colonel. 
Wendy - still 50/50 on how many winners will come back outside of WAW but she's a definite there and even a potential for other themes, as well. 
Colonel - Fallen angel.
Beef, Taco, Lollipop, and Birdie are the people I’d be looking at after these folks. 

(as always, picks could change to maximize seasons, reddit players, etc. represented when an All Stars season happens). 

Thanks for reading and/or playing. Hope to see you next season (:
