Like it was my only option to move forward with him

oh I gotcha! totally understood - worked out in the end for you

Next up is Villain of the Season!

This one was between Ryan B., Timberlie, and Jay!

Ultimately the award goes to...TIMBERLIE!

Timberlie definitely had an unorthodox villain role as he was definitely on the bottom for much of the post-merge, but I still think his general personality and style of gameplay (especially while trying to get someone to flip at the final 5) is what got him this award for me. We stan good TV.

grats Timberlie

Next up is the award for Biggest Underdog or Most Underrated!

This one was between Nathan, Patrick, and Ryan T., but ultimately the award goes to...

...RYAN T!

I think Ryan played a better game than even I or Richard gave him credit for initially, as I think his mistake of not voting Tina at the final 6 was his downfall. But up to that point he was probably one of the best positioned people in the game, having at least decent social connections with everyone and being an important force behind the elimination of the early jurors.

Walks in late like hey.

Grats Ryan T <3

Next up is the award for Player of the Season!

This one was between Ryan B., Nathan, and Timberlie, but ultimately the award goes to...

Ryan T def deserved that so congrats!

...RYAN B.!

Ryan was the brains behind a lot of the votes that got him to the end, and I’ll admit that occasionally Richard and I both thought he was making a bad move of his game (accidentally getting Renny voted off, for example), he managed to work his way back in and swing the situation to his advantage. A very deserving 3-vote runner-up, especially considering he never had individual immunity.

lol what

And finally, we have the award for best pre-merge player!

This one was between Juan and Renny, but ultimately the award goes to...

...RENNY!

Renny sent the most confessionals and was the most active in general of all the premege boots, and had it not been for Ryan’s paranoia and Nathan’s idol play he would have gone a lot further into the game. Definitely someone who had a lot of potential that just came up short.
