GENERAL THOUGHTS:
Another pretty decent season! Bayleigh held her own against the new players pretty well, playing a very different, much less in you face game than she did in season one. A few players went too soon, and I underestimated the impact the America's Votes/CPs would have on the season, but we got a good winner and a very dynamic season out of it.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Zendaya keeping herself off the block for the first four weeks through sheer willpower, taking herself off the block with POV twice
- Matyas almost succeeding in saving Zendaya using the cancelled eviction votes. I'm pretty sure that would have worked had Andrew not vetoed Barbra
- Barbra being hated by America all season
- Dana being a robbed queen, losing out at the final 4 after playing from the bottom for half the season
- FX being so hated that a 9-person alliance was formed to take him out, and then disbanded the next week
- Kaleb ran a lot of the game from the shadows, making sure his allies had the power and not touching the nomination block once all season
- Bayleigh slipping under the radar for 8 weeks, despite being a known physical threat after her first season
- This season's cast being both extremely divided and extremely unified, with 4 consecutive tied eviction votes followed by 3 unanimous evictions
Potential Returnees:
Kaleb
Hoshi
Dana
Zendaya
Matyas
Noodle

GENERAL THOUGHTS:
Overall, a pretty good season. Some predictability in the middle due to Hoop's dominance, but the season had a very dynamic beginning and an unexpected ending.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Hoop breaking Ben's record for overall challenge wins (10 to Ben's nine), as well as smashing his records for both overall POV wins and consecutive POV wins (7 overall wins and 6 in a row), but losing both HOH and POV at Final 4 when he really needed it
- Billy coming in clutch at Final 4 to win the POV and take out comp beast Hoop.
- Billy tying Ben's record for HOH wins with 4
- America controlling the prejury/early jury stage until she was overthrown by Hoop
- Aschmischma and Hoop both never sitting on the block as a final nominee until F4
- Aschmischma casting a vote at 11 consecutive evictions (including her tiebreaker vote at F5)
- The jury rewarding Aschmischma's UTR gameplay over Billy's brute force
- Jeremiah becoming the first person to ever be evicted twice, winning the Battle Back and then getting evicted again the next week
- Natacia coming close to TJ's record for most nominations, sitting on the block on 5 different eviction nights before becoming the only unanimous eviction of the season.
Potential Returnees:
- America
- Aschmischma
- Hoop
- Billy
- Jeremiah
Let me know your thoughts on the season in the comments! Hopefully there'll be another season soon.
GENERAL THOUGHTS:
Overall, a very strong season! I think the larger cast and Buyback challenge, as well as the use of the BOB twist, definitely helped make it difficult for one person/group of people to hold power for too long. This did lead to a couple early robberies, but it helped keep the gameplay fluid and constantly shifting. The winner was also definitely a strong choice, even with the need for assistance from a Buyback.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Michael, Skylita, and Benji all making a strong early showing, but getting robbed pre-jury.
- Skylita getting unanimously evicted 10-0
- Cinderella being nominated four times in 9 rounds
- Crimson being a surprise challenge beast, with 3 HoH's and 2 BOB wins
- Keizo and Anton coming out of nowhere as physical threats halfway through the season
- Jay winning the Buyback comp, as well as 3 HoH's and a Veto on his way to victory
- Cinderella being a mess for four weeks before getting backdoored by Anton
- TJ being a victim/pawn all season, being a final nominee 7 times, but winning when it counted at Final 4
- Gina playing a great UTR game, but getting ousted after being forced to show her hand and break a tie
- Jay winning the last two HoH's consecutively
- All the robberies (Skylita, Benji, Keizo, Anton, Jack, etc.)
POTENTIAL RETURNEES (There are a lot):
Jay
Jack
Gina
Anton
Keizo
Crimson
Cinderella
Benji
Skylita
