JOECEPIA IS BACK FOR ALL-STARS BITCHES!!!!!!! Okay now that I got that out of the way, this is the part where I'm a smug asshole and talk about how I will demolish everyone despite that almost never happening. (Sadface) Nevertheless, I'm going to talk about my 17 fellow All-Stars, and maybe I'll sound savvy enough that I'll actually know what I'm doing. No but really, I'm not playing for fan favorite this time around or to be loved, I'm playing to finally get the win I've been wanting ever since Survivor: Fiji. I'm no Cochran or Will, but I'm still going to give it a shot. Starting with my own tribe. The tribe of spiders.
We got PeaceOut14, he's been a huge friend and ally of mine since a Big Brother game. Things didn't go as planned, but we got our shit together in Gaia's game and dominated that and made the final 3 together. He's definitely improved on the likability factor and that can win him over a couple of future votes if he makes the jury phase and eventually the final 2. Aside from Gaia's Estonia, I've never seen him a play a full-on villain's game and if he makes the final 2, he might win based off the sole fact that he barely has a mean bone in his Survivor body. Does that mean I'm portraying him as a saint? Of course not. He can still lie, cheat, and manipulate his way to the end like the rest of us could and this might be a new PeaceOut. If that's the case, I'm looking forward to playing with him, and if he has to be voted out, it won't be the pizza screwing him over.
Next is LoganWorm, he always plays strategic just as much as I do and I think we're on the same boat of success. We both have strategic minds, we both talk big games, and we are usually cut short of the finals every time. However, we did win some games out of our Tengaged careers so not all is lost for us. Logan offered me an alliance that I'm willing to go with for now. However, I know how strategic Logan can get and after playing with Will last season (who I got some words for in a moment), I'm definitely keeping my guard up more than it was last time. While Logan did dominate the first half of his season, he lost his domination to Tyler which is another thing we have in common I should add, but he definitely took pointers after losing Mongolia and will definitely try to keep a better grip on his alliance. If he tries pulling that stuff on me or tries to run the show rather than be a duo or an alliance, I'll definitely vote him off.
Blueu22 and Etaco75. I've never really played with either of them a lot, though I briefly played on HvV with Etaco but I don't recall ever playing with Blueu. Anyway, I know Blueu is a social player and I know he'll work that to his gameplay. It did get him to the finals last time after all and if Jadie was on the jury, he could have won the game. As for Etaco, while Blueu is more social, I know Etaco is a lot more strategic and physical. He's a double threat as far as I'm concerned and if he ups his game, he'll be a triple threat when he starts talking to people. I want him gone early. I know he'll try to do a redo of Great Boretain and run an alliance to the end but unlike last time, he gets to the finals. Still, I don't want him going far because I can already see his potential unraveling at merge. Overall, I can't really say much about them since I don't recall playing a lot with either of these two so yeah. Moving on.
Finally there is Simon. Another super social threat, he won Palau and survived the Espada slaughter in Nicaragua because of his social game. Unfortunately, he is currently at 2 days offline so if he pulls a BENLINUS and leaves before the game starts, he's first boot fodder for all I care. Next is Charleroi, or as I'm calling them, the Charlies.
From the Charlies, we first got a lot of old friends of mine.
My former Breakfast Bunch 2.0 buddy Jamz is back and like a lot of players (like someone I'll be covering shortly), he's a big socia
