To celebrate my 20th group game experience and a little over a year in the community, here are my 3 favorite hosts I have played for, in no particular order.
bigben1996 (Survivor: China - Clash of Clans [S3?], Survivor: Madagascar - Fans v. Failures [S36])
I have played with Ben once, in Cutthroat, and I have now been hosted by him twice. My first time in his series, I was told I'd be on a Fans versus style season and ended up on a 24-player massive crossover of BigBen's and M&N's. I was only 1 of 2 new players. It was a fun game while I was there, but I definitely did not get as far as I would have liked. The second season, I was a part of the Failures due to my previous low placement and my odor. I enjoyed that season and even managed to get barely single digits. Ben is a really funny host and you should definitely apply to his FINAL newbie season: https://tengaged.com/blog/bigben1996/8989779/big-ben-survivor-season-38-final-newbie-season
TheSexiestDude990 (Survivor: Macedonia [S6])
Anyone who knows me knows that this is one of two games I am the least proud of. I got to the end as an inactive goat, betrayed my ally Silver, and ended up getting zero votes in the end; a fate that I absolutely, positively deserved. All things considered, Julian is one of the best hosts on this site and he deserves support on both him GG offerings and his ORG offerings. His games are really fun to play and he is a super nice guy. His series is definitely one I would like to get redemption in one day. He currently has apps open for a newbie season of his group game series. I highly recommend that you apply: https://tengaged.com/group/9339-application-group-hosting-hub/forum/topic/23041849
_JB_ (Cutthroat Survivor: Raja Ampat [S5], Cutthroat Survivor: All-Stars [S7], Cutthroat Survivor: Henan - Blood v. Water [S14], Cutthroat Survivor: Edge of Glory ]S19], Cutthroat Big Brother: Target Practice [S2])
So it fairly easy to tell I like this host considering I have literally played with him 5 times. And much to his bewilderment, he is the only host that I, someone who has never even seen Big Brother, have played a BB game for. I respect JB a lot despite a lot of the toxicity he has had to deal with in his series. The Cutthroat series is one of my favorites for the reason it isn't everyone's cup of tea - it is very, very fast paced. The fast paced gameplay was my introduction to group games when I played Raja Ampat in August 2018. I love it and have a lot of good memories and experiences from all 5 of my seasons. I can't wait to play future seasons of his if given the opportunity.
These are just 3 absolute favorite hosts but I have enjoyed pretty much all of the games I have been in so here is a list of shoutouts to everyone else who has hosted me! lionsden121 (Survivor: Brazil [S4]) joshbb17 (Survivor: Brazil [S4]) jacksonjoseph99 (Survivor: Principe Island [S1]) sergeant (Survivor: Principe Island [S1]) purplebb4 (Survivor: Dasht El Kavir [S1]) twinfacethe2nd (Survivor: Sulawesi [S1]) Haykee (Survivor: France [S1]) BBMeganNicole (Survivor: France [S1]) SurvivorFan37 (Survivor: Zambia [S6]) Pokepat (Survivor: Antarctica [S13], Survivor: Second Chances [S14]) Jaybirdnifty (Survivor: Antarctica [S1]) thewinner (Survivor: Honduras [S1]) OldNewz (Survivor: China - Clash of Clans [23]) Pieguy555 (Survivor: China - Clash of Clans [23]) SuitMan13 (Survivor: Kalahari [S2]) Saftronbtr999 (Survivor: Mt.
