Winner: BBlover96 (4-3)

Hm. Ranking Micronesia is hard. Because it's one of those seasons which I look as sometimes and think it was very fun, and look at other times and think that not much actually makes it stand out. One thing that pulls it down is the Clan Leaders twist, which kind of reduced the ability to make moves in the early merge stage because people still wanted to be able to vote. Then by the time it was over it was too late to make really any kind of move that would be worth it.
Pre-merge was pretty good indead. It started with the Favorites dominating three challenges and then loosing only one, before a tribe switch hit and everyone was shocked when five favorites wer knocked out back-to-back. This left everyone quite suprised when the merge arrived and the Fans were up in numbers 6-4.
It could have been simple for the Fans to stick together and control the game, but two Fans, Juna and Mrlincoln, hated each other so much they voted for each other, which would have pretty much made it a 4-4 tie if an idol didn't void all votes against Favorite Yankee, sending Fan Etaco home just before the Jury. At that point things were still OK, as the Fans were till 5-4 up, but of cause the Clan Leaders twist meant that ONLY THE FAVORITES could vote. They voted out Fan Flamelord, and it was 4-4 going into the next vote, which was to be a double-elimination :o Favorites Zeero and Yankee made a move here by voting for Favorite Millzipede. Fan Omar's inability to vote due to the Auction then meant that a three-way tie was caused between two fans, Lincoln and Bowling and Millzipede. In the tiebreaker challenge (which we had instead of re-votes) Millie won, and the two Fans went out putting the Favorites in a 4-2 majority. At this point, after getting votes at the previous Tribal, Favorite Millzipede flipped to the Fans, played an idol on Fan Juna, and voted for Yankee, causing voted to be voided and a tie to occur, in which Favorite Yankee because the first Favorite to be voted out after the merge. Things looked good for Millie, until the last two Fans both self-voted so Millie's flip was for nothing. The two fans, then eventualy Millie, were knocked out by Favorites Zeero and BBlover, who became the Final Two, where BBlover was voted to win after she made good social ties with the Jury.
Now, as much as I like the fact that the Favorites came back after minority to be the Final Three/Two, I can't respect how they did it as much as I can with Lopevi in the following season, Vanuatu, because the Clan Leaders twist was a very unfair twist which I should never have put in. I feel the fact that it was a factor in the second merge vote tainted the rest of the game. The first merge vote I can respect. they had an idol and they played it and survived. That was good. But then it it wasn't for the Clan Leader thing on the second vote, the Fans WOULD have stuck together and the end result would have been different. The Clan Leader twist should have ended at the merge. Furthermore, I do not thing the post-merge was THAT entertaining.
Looking back over this season, I just think there are other seasons which deserve a higher spot that were more entertaining, more startegic and more fun than this. Plus, all the Fans accept Etaco and partially Flamelord were kind of duds :/ A better cast of Fans would have made this a more interesting season I think.

Excuse me? D:< loljk yeah i was pretty bad this season :P
Suitman13 i think i kind of spoiled the clan twist for u. Thats my fault. Remember when me and jonoffunk abused it and pissed off ALL of the favorites. Then we got that tribe switch with jon being fucked and i miraculously made it to the merge. I think u underestimate the rivalry between me and zeero vs bblover and millz. We couldnt trust each other AT ALL going into the merge but we still worked together to conquer the fans. We were basically a big clusterfuck. I feel like clan leaders caused tension from the faves in the 1st place cuz of me and jon so we wouldve prob had majority at merge if it didnt happen at all. Im shocked this wasnt in top 10
Zeero i still feel bad i didnt vote for u to win cuz u played a great game =(. I hope u won a group since. U were prob 1 of my best allies in my group playing history. We made a pretty good duo that season haha
yankeeman311 No I haven't, this is my best game and will remain as that I'm done with playing. We made the best duo, I just wished we were savvy enough to see through Millie's plan. It's all good though, you were a great ally and one of the few people in group games that I feel like I could really trust.
etaco75 u were definitely by far the most threatning fan. Once we got u out, us faves knew we were in good shape. Flamelord i remember basically being #2 to etaco or something
