I've only ever played 2 fastings, and I'm not trying to be a know-it-all, but here are some of the "characters" I've met in those games and how I think they generally do in fastings:
The BB12 Kathy (aka Inactives):
Just chilling doing everything EXCEPT play the game... or probably sleeping. They're ultimately thrown out but some Kathys tend to stay a little while longer for pawn purposes and to ensure that the actives have the POV (although sometimes it backfires)
The worst get last place while I've seen some soar to F3.
The BB14 Dan:
The smartest player in the game. Usually, Dans are already seen as threats but they talk their way out of being put in the block. They basically run the game.
It's a hard character to spot, but once you spot a Dan, get rid of him!
The BB6 Janelle:
This player is reliant on POV wins to get to the F3. The Janelles are the ones who sweet talk their way in the public chat, but has a gameplay in mind.
Get rid of this person especially if he has a shot to win the F4 POV.
The BB2 Chilltown:
They are two people who stick together and probably a premade. They play dirty and the thing is: no one realizes they're the masterminds behind the game... until they do.
They'll probably end up in 1st-7th depending on their masquerade game.
The BB13 Daniele:
This person isn't afraid to cause trouble. Beware if you're in a big [premade] alliance because a Daniele may strike. Danieles are the ones paranoid that they'll be the first one gone from the alliance once the enemies are gone. So, the Daniele will ally with the enemies and try to send some of the other members of his/her original group home.
From personal experience, being a Daniele must involve knowing every alliance in the group and is okay enough to get you 1st-8th.
The BB14 Frank:
The Frank is the one who's on the block almost every day... yet he doesn't get evicted! It means: a.) He's the official pawn of an alliance or b.) He's just that damn good. Hopefully, no one sees him as a threat with all the almost-evictions he gets.
The BB6 Kaysar:
The failed chessmaster. He tries to know everything about the house by getting some information from others. The Kaysar is pretty safe... until someone realizes something is fishy. He'll be packing his virtual bags in no time!
