JAKE C - SURVIVOR COMPARISONS
JAKE C - Michelle Schubert - Wicked nice and friendly, all around happy bubbly person. You were an underrated merge boot. I think you had a lot of potential like Michelle if would’ve survived a few more rounds. I think you/Jayson have a fun cute dynamic like Michelle/Jay but it never became too serious where it made y’all a shownance target. I think you and Michelle would both fare well if given another chance.
JAYSON - Aras BvW - Like Aras you were seen as a leader all game up until your elimination. You both were the figurehead and blindsided at the merge by former Allies of yours, Aras being blindsided by Gervase/Tyson and you being blindsided by Michael. You both showed a lot of potential pre-merge but as soon as merge came it was hard for you both to hide. I also believe a reason you were targeted was to split us up just like Aras was targeted to split him & Vytas up.
PUGH - Kelly Wigglesworth Second Chances - Like Kelly you positioned yourself well within your group for the most part. You had a strong UTR game, you had no enemies and were helpful in challenges, making you an asset to your alliances. I believe however like Kelly, your close relationship with someone hindered you and made you a big target when Julio was ready to flip. Not making enemies I think was a reason Julio flipped along to weaken Scott. You were in a prime spot in your alliance. Kelly was Joe’s partner in crime, I believe you were Scott’s. If Julio is Jeremy (although from WaW) it’s fitting you are Wigglesworth as Jeremy flipped on Kellly. Julio flipped on you.
JAMES - Amanda Kimmel HvV - Likable and charming, you and Amanda both set yourselves up nicely within your alliances pre merge. After a rough merge start for our alliance, we got picked off one by one. You never gave up though, i remember you and I talking a decent bit trying to figure out ways to change the tide just as Amanda did. Some players have us a glimmer of hope, similar to the hope Amanda was given but ultimately it was no use. You both didn’t go down without a fight until your torch was snuffed.
JAKE H. - Scot Pollard - Personality wise hell no lol. You made a lot more friends than Scot. But I do think there’s some game similarities. I think originally at merge it was hard to tell fully if Scot was with some people. We thought you were originally with the Julio crew but then the next merge tribal you voted with us and were on the bottom with us ever since. Maybe you were always on the bottom but that wasn’t a known thing, at least not to our group at first. Scot went home without ever getting to use his idol. You want home without getting to use your advantage. Also scots ally Tai flipped on him, just like Jay did. I also did indirectly though I couldn’t vote. I tried to give you a heads up but you told me it was Jay so I just thought maybe I was in the dark.
AKSHAR - Drea - We’ve all been saying it the last week. You were locked and fucking loaded from had you made it one more round. Y’all have magnet hands and advantages and idols just seem to gravitate towards y’all’s pockets. Y’all both win the game by a likely inevitable dominant end game filled with y’all’s solo dolo power. You both were pretty likable and respected in the game. The game goes different for both of you if just one small thing changed about those rounds. I believe both your and Drea’s downfall was because of others knowing about the advantages and got voted out in similar fashion.
SCOTT - ANDREA FvF2 - Both you and Andrea were recognized from Day 1 as one the most strategically aggressive and dominant players of the season. I remember EARLY game people were talking how Scott needs to be dealt with sooner than later. This target never left you but you did a great job at evading the target. Your former Allies turned on you using advantages and idols, just like Andrea’s Allies idoled her out. No doubt you and Andrea both would’ve been able to make a strong case had you sat at FTC. You both pulled off impressive moves and blindsided and weren’t afraid to take a risk to take someone out even if it might backfire.
JULIO - Jeremy Collins WaW - The cat with 9 lives. Similar to Jeremy you were a regret the entire game, constantly having to shut down attempts to get you out. Similar to Jeremy you played an advantage to save yourself. Jeremy was such a threat that even his closest allies turned on him in WaW, as did some of your closest Allies. You both left the game after being targeted all season long.
SEA - Dawn South Pacific - Sea you were one of the most loyal players in this season, if not THE most loyal. You lived by the sword, died by the sword. You never wavered from your main alliance no matter how much was said or when the ship started to sink near the end game. While in the game I was frustrated you wouldn’t flip to me, I respect that you were never fake about it. Like Dawn you were really upfront and blunt with where you stood in the game. There was no bullshit or unnecessary lying, you just said it how it is. You wouldn’t leak plans, you were just like yeah we’re voting differently, good luck! And that does take guts actually. It’s easy to lie to save your ass. But to be straight up and still survive is a lot more difficult in my opinion.
MICHAEL - Tai Trang Game Changers - Lot of fun similarities with this one. Tai flipped on his ally Caleb at the swap to show his loyalty to Brad, and also showing his adaptability. You were closely aligned with Jayson & myself but flipped at the merge to show the other side you were willing to work with them too. Similar to Tai you were able to maneuver between multiple groups until things caught up to you at the end of the game and you both lost at F4. Tai was willing to play idols and advantages, some on other people. Tai saved Sierra with an idol, you saved Julio with the vote steal. Both of the targets eliminated in these situations were massive threats, Malcolm from GC and Scott from here. Tai’s alliance turned on him and threw him under the bus when they found themselves in a tough spot, but Tai still managed. At f6 people were throwing you under bus left and right, including those you work closely with, yet you still managed to get out of it and make it all the way to F4.
