Chris

Chris was an enthusiastic player, and following him post season it’s a big disappointment that he didn’t get to stay in over some of the flops that lasted more than a week.

Shii Ann – Removed

I had more tempered expectations for Shi-Ann than others did, but her behavior as a no show made me hate her. GTFO of Stranded

Angelina – Removed

Even just her app and interview makes me like her more than Shi-ann and Brendan. Removing her means we can give Angelina to somebody worthy someday, so that's nice.

Tanya

Adorable and completely out of her element. Didn’t last long enough to find out, which I think is a good thing.

Brendan

Quit when things weren’t going his way. Fucking coward and will never be considered part of the stranded family. Inexcusable.

Natalie

Funny to watch the saga of everyone dealing with her roleplaying, but otherwise was pretty worthless. Complete waste of what should be an amazing rep.

Jed

As a player, Jed was borderline great. He was really doing an excellent job of positioning himself, but he failed at maneuvering from that position. One of the few players this season who was “robbed.” Personality wise, I’m biased cuz he’s a friend of mine but I really enjoyed reading his comments and confessionals.

Ghandia

Ghandia delivered exactly what we expected and thank GOD. Absolute confessional queen, but she seemed to care way more about banter and her character than the game. Which is fine, but made for an uneventful boot.

Kellyn

Kellyn made herself a walking meme by showing zero self-awareness and constantly failing at trying to do simple things on the boards like making group chats. LOVED her character and she was the engine of the pre-merge. Being the first nomad was a host wet dream come true and Kellyn was never boring from episode one all the way through her ridiculous jury commentary and questioning.

Stephanie

Without a doubt the most pleasant surprise of the cast personality wise. Her and Robb were a ticking time bomb and it blew up spectacularly. She took everything personally (e.g., why is this bitch calling me babe all the time?!) and gave it right back. 10/10 would watch play anytime.

Mike

Mike exceeded expectations gameplay wise, but I think his exit was the perfect timing for him because he was really starting to slip towards goat status. He also provided the greatest feeds moment of the season for me by trying to small talk with Fenassa while they were scrambling before the most intense tribal of the season.

Pat

He was a replacement and showed exactly why he wasn’t originally cast

Clay – Quit

I feel awful for Clay but his exit was a turning point in the entertainment factor of the endgame. So in that way, he made an important impact on the season. I don’t think anybody really disliked talking to him, that’s just kind of how that challenge works against the less social players.

Angela

Confessional Angela and game Angela were two different people. I wish Confessional Angela had made more appearances but I think Angela was probably the best all-around player on the season.

Alec

Alec was an enigma. My ranking of him seemed to go in waves where I had high hopes preseason and he was letting me down early. Then he quickly rose up when he used the Tuareg and nomad twists to really set himself up. His downfall was a very fitting end to his arrogance. Also memes .

Chelsea

I don’t think I’m creative enough to do Chelsea justice with my comments, so I’ll just say Ditto to what everyone else said. Instant legend.

Davie

Frustrating as hell and insanely boring. I have no idea how someone could play the game for a month and not realize you need to spend more than 20 minutes a night talking to people. In guesstimation he guessed there were only 2500 total messages sent and I’m sure that seemed realistic from his perspective.

Donathan

Donathan was an entertaining concept for awhile, but constantly overpromising and underdelivering really wore me down as a viewer and it made me roll my eyes at everything he said after like episode 9.

Gabby

Only the fascinating relationship between her and Sebastian made Gabby interesting.

Robb

Rooted for him the entire time. One of the most hardcore players on the cast but just never set up the social capital to navigate the end game. I have very little doubt that he would have won the season if he showed up to f5 immunity.

Sebastian

I don’t know how much other hosts will give him credit, but I think if we didn’t know Sebastian outside of the game, his character would have been INCREDIBLE to follow. But once I realized around Steph’s boot that he was going to dominate the rest of the way, his arrogance became intolerably fake to me because I know he’s actually a baby irl. I picked him to win... but not at the expense of drama boners. Fuck Zbass.

[Danni Boatwright]

Chris- Loved you for the short amount of time you were in the game. Your boot set the entire game in motion and created some of the best rivalries/alliances of the season. Would love to see you get another chance

Shii Ann –

Angelina – So depressed you didn’t show up. By far the most entertaining interview I’ve been a part of

Tanya- We had such high hopes for you!!! It was clear you were a little out of your element, but I’m glad you gave it a shot.

Brendan- Boo hoo my alliance got screwed at the first tribal so I never showed up again. What a loser.

Natalie- I appreciate your dedication to the character, but I get it. Not everyone can handle a high powered CEO

Jed- Your strategic game really improved since your outing in isolated. I honestly think if you had survived that insane tribal council that you would have made a deep run in the game. Maybe next time.

Ghandia- You were by far the most entertaining person on this cast in your confessionals. Ghandia’s hammock will need to make an appearance on a returning player season at some point in the future. I think if you came back and made a bit more of an effort to get into some alliances after the swap, you would fare really well in a merge.

Kellyn- Things started a little rough for you, but as the first nomad you completely changed the landscape of the game. Your games of telephone across the tribes were awesome, and I think that really shaped the season’s strategy of working with every player in the game.

Stephanie-The biggest surprise for the hosts was your blunt and aggressive personality. You were so much fun to watch, but you became especially fun at the merge when you were the obvious target and had nothing else to lose. Can’t wait to see you back.

Mike- We had you pegged as a social/utr player that would get dragged to the end as a goat, and I couldn’t be happier that you proved us wrong. I think taking advantage of the nomad twist and being as active as you were really paid off, even if you did overplay your hand a bit. Proud of you!

Pat-I wish we could have seen some more fire from you in the earlier portion of the game. You weren’t afraid to throw out names and get in on plans, I just think you needed to put some more effort into the social aspect of the game so people would take your opinion more seriously.

Clay – Sorry you couldn’t take the heat, but you leaving was a real low point for the season both strategically and in terms of entertainment. Hope things are going well outside of the game.

Angela- You were far and away our most strategic player on the cast. You had great reads on all of your tribes, and also had the social connections to keep yourself safe. I wish we could have gotten some more of the Angela fire we saw in confessionals and ponderosa during our tribals and challenges, but I’m sure that was intentional. Nice work :)

Alec- we love a meme king. Was hoping to see some of the villainy and chaos you promised in your app, but with the way the season played out I don’t think it would have served you well.

Chelsea- Iconic performance, Chels. You were so much fun to watch, and gave me way more strategic gameplay than I was expecting out of you. No one else put in as much effort to whip the votes together, and whether they loved you or hated you the other players knew you were someone to take seriously.

Davie- Really wish we had gotten some more personality out of you this season. I had such high hopes after the prisoner’s dilemma challenge, but then you faded back into the crowd.

Donathan- You gave me serious blue balls all season. Your confessionals always teased a big move of turning on one of your more visible allies, but it never really played out. However, you were always good for a laugh and really turned on the engines for the last two rounds which I appreciated.

Gabby-I enjoyed getting to watch you play without constantly wondering if you were fucking me over Was really hoping for you to win that final immunity so we could see the showdown of you and sebastian at the final tribal. I needed a better payoff to your guys twisted friendship.

Robb- It sucks that your story ended so abruptly, but you delivered so much drama this season. Your rivalry with steph was incredible, and you weren’t afraid to blow up anybody’s game. Time zones are a real bitch.

Sebastian- I have no idea how you were able to pull this off. Multiple players were willing to die for you, and you managed to make the endgame without a single vote. You probably won't win (and if you do, it'll be thanks to your pitbull Gabby on jury), but that doesn't take away from a game well played. You could probably work on being less of a dick to the people who are leaving but then you’d be no fun. Nice work.

[Jeff Probst]

Chris - I genuinely think that Chris is one of the most tragic first boots stranded history. Definitely gone too soon. I also believe that we will see great things from Chris in the Future. I felt like you started the game strong and just fell victim to unfortunate circumstance.

Shii Ann was a huge disappointment. There's not much to say here she didn't show up but kept telling us she would. If she had, maybe she would have been great, but who's to say.

Angelina was one of my favorites preseason, I think everyone's favorite. She had a super unique interview, full of personality but didn't show up.

Tanya was another girl we were super interested in seeing Play and had activity issues. She was an older female, a mother oh, and super sweet. Of the early inactive boots, Tanya was the most active and probably the most interesting. I wish we could have seen what would have happened had she survived that Tribal Council and played for the Long Haul.

Brendan made me probably the angriest of the early fodder. When he was playing, you seemed to be in a good alliance and then just disappeared. It especially pissed me off because we lost Chris early on and Brendan survived that boot. Some hosts think he ducked out because he was losing, but who's to say. And who cares.

Natalie was my sympathetic favorite. She was my winner pick. I found her on Reddit, and it turns out she was an old friend back from the days of AIM mini-games. She may have played longer than I have since before 2004. She played the game like a true old-school troll people living as the character of Natalie. of course, that got on everyone's nerves, and she got food after the swap. I would have liked to have seen what she could have done in the merge if she got to get her hands dirty.

Jed was someone I didn't have a whole lot of hope for going into the season, but he showed a glimmer of spunk and serious gameplay in Isolated, and Rematch especially. That being said, he completely delivered by the time of his vote off. His Tribal Council was by far the best of the game, and that's thanks in large part thanks to his strong social game and string-pulling behind the scenes. I think that had he made the merge, it would have been a much more competitive season, but I'm glad he contributed to that epic Council and I think he has a lot to be proud of for proving himself here.

Awww Ghandia, by far my favorite pre-merge contestant. Maybe the funniest confessional commentator in stranded history, and I'm being 100% serious. Legitimately had me cackling every time I read her confessional, and most times she would talk in public. While she may not have been the biggest strategic threat, I think Ghandia is someone who could have become a huge social thread based on likeability alone. I really look forward to seeing her join the community and hearing her hot takes going forward. Love you girl!!!.

Kellyn was the definition of an epic merge boot. She defined most of the pre-merge with her chaotic gameplay and even more chaotic personality. I so enjoyed seeing her escape early Jellal to go on a strong run. She was one of the more unexpected personalities this season. I knew she would be fun, but I didn't realize she would become one of, if not THE biggest characters of the season. When she became the first Nomad, it might have been the happiest I was all season, and her public feuds are the stuff of Legends. She's still upset about her rep, but I think because Kellyn was such a Trainwreck, she became a legendary character in Stranded. You were one of the highlights of the game, and I wish I could find a hundred more players like you.

Stephanie - I got a ton of shit preseason for casting you. My reputation was somewhat on the line when I took the risk and decided to put you in the game. I am so fucking glad that I did. You have proven to me that I still got it, and I need to trust my gut more in casting. You wanted to play so badly, that I just knew you were going to deliver. Seasons are often defined not by their heroes, but by the strength of their villains. You were so abrasive and aggressive that it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. However, I think there's a lot to be said for someone who can play the game unapologetically balls-to-the-wall. You were one of the strongest players and characters of the season, and that is something you should really be proud of. Your Epic pre-merge idol play and blindside will go down in history, and I definitely think we will be seeing more from you in the future.

Early in the game we all thought Angela was going to win, and it's amazing that we continued to think she was the winner well into the merge. She was so far ahead of the strategic curve that she was able to understand what was going on when other players couldn't. I think had she been a little bit more aggressive, and a little bit luckier in tribe placement, she was definitely going to win. I really enjoyed seeing her come out of her shell in Ponderosa and wish I could have seen more of that Angela in the game. That being said, she was a hardcore strategist that we will likely see again and I think the season could have used a few more Angelas to give some frontrunners a run for their money.

Pat was our final replacement, and I'm grateful he was able to step into a difficult situation and adapt. It was frustrating because Pat showed a lot of promise, but never quite reached where we wanted him to be. I think in large part, it was a learning curve and Pat finally starting to understand it when it was too late. After he was voted out he finally got into the spirit of Stranded and started calling people out. I wish we had gotten to see more of that Pat. I do think that Pat will become a great player, he just needs a bit of a warming up.

Clay was super disappointing. I had really hoped you would be funnier and more engaged in the game. The most disappointing thing was obviously when he quit. It kind of came out of left field it was definitely a low point of the season. I hate when anyone does not enjoy experience, and I hope part of you can find the good within Stranded. I wish you the best of luck.

There's so much I could say about Chelsea. I'll start by saying she is probably the biggest character this season. Consistently she brought the drama when we desperately needed it. She also proved herself to be dangerous in the game when she managed to survive the pre-merge swap when everyone was against her. She is just as charming as she is hilarious. I was living every time she started new drama at Tribal Council. She is a huge star this season, and I think she'll go on to become a legendary player in stranded if she can stick around. She was amazing to watch and even more fun to root for. I think I speak for all the co-hosts when I say Chelsea is an All-Star, and I hope she had as much fun playing as we had watching her.

Robb is one of those unique players that comes along and helps define a season. Whether it was pre-merge fighting with his allies, or his post-marriage immunity run, Robb provided a constant source of entertainment. Towards the end of the game he got a reputation for being overly strategic and aggressive, but I think he was just ahead of his time. Robb was playing an All-Star game in a new player season. I'm still so mad that he didn't show up to that last immunity challenge, but I can forgive him because of all the excitement he gave us leading up to that challenge. He stood in the way of the majority alliance winning and was their last great hurdle. Whether it was finding idols, winning immunity, or forming strong alliances; Robb kept us on our toes and I look forward to seeing what he can do in future.

Gabby is my sympathetic favorite this season. She came into the game with us thinking she would be the strategic force behind the season. She ended up playing kind of under the radar, but in the end I think she enabled Sebastian to control the game the way he did. Her social influence over the game was so strong that she was able to take plans that everyone would propose to her, and stop them from ousting Sebastian. I think the day after she was blindsided by Sebastian was genuinely one of the saddest things I've seen in the game. I really felt for her in that moment and it was a great reminder of what makes stranded so special. she gave the game her all, and poured her entire heart into it only for it to be shattered. While it was disappointing, I appreciated the dedication and emotion she put into the game, and I found myself rooting for her despite her questionable decisions. We have all made poor decisions by following our hearts and Gabby embodies that.

Donathan got a bad rap in the game because he was a quiet player. He kept talking about all the game moves he wanted to make, but never really seemed to make them. It wasn't until the final five that we really saw a different side to Donathan. He impressed everyone when he won immunity. And then to follow that immunity by winning the hardest challenge in the game, The Box, earned him a lot of respect from me. Aside from his game, Donathan is one of the most likable players we've had. He seems genuinely sweet, and I couldn't help but love the things he said because they were so adorable. I'm actually finding myself rooting for him to win even though his game wasn't the most stellar. Kudos to Donathan for stepping up even if it was later than we've been wanting. I look forward to seeing more of him in the future.

[Hannah Shapiro]

Chris - You were new to this, and the last one casted. I had a lot of hope for you. Hope to see you again
Shii Ann – Removed – SoRRy IM sTUdYiNG fOR ExAMs!! Seriously, it only takes a minute to log in. Fuck off with that shit.
Angelina – Removed –
Tanya – Also new to this, you didn’t deserve to be out this early. Then again, you yeeted the moment you were dead in the water so I don’t feel too bad.
Brendan – Thank you for making me the less lame Shapiro. That’s all I have to say to you.
Natalie – I wish you would’ve shown up to Ponderosa, but you were still the best CEO out here.
Jed – Jed Jr, things didn’t work out here. Tough luck?
Ghandia – Ghana was ROBBED
Kellyn – Giiiiirl I’m sorry to say, but your alias was perfect. I loved you, even though you kept messaging me the first few days with questions I had no idea how to answer.
Stephanie – ABSOLUTE ICON! You’re definitely coming back. Thank you for exceeding our expectations.
Mike – Sorry you couldn't last longer than your bro, but you should still be proud. You exceeded expectations. Stick around, please <3
Pat – Ehhh maybe you could return when you’re older? 10th place as a 15-year-old isn’t too bad.
Clay – Quit – I don’t want to say too much, because it’s going to come across as really cunty, but someone had to be picked for that harsh question. It’s not like that question was unanimous. Don’t get your old man panties in a twist over what losers on the internet think of you.
Angela – You were soooo good, I just wish you had a little more fight in you at the end!
Alec – I’m glad you aren’t taking that blindside too terribly, but I’m still gonna make fun of you for it. Thank you for the memes <3
Queen Chelsea – I LOVE YOU! WINNER PICK. ABSOLUTE QUEEN
Robb – You did amazing, sweetie. Except for not showing up that night. That was lame.
Gabby – I relate to you so hardcore, and your story was compelling. You were a true robbed goddess. Please stick around.
Davie – You were just active enough to not be removed. Your highlight was snatching that immunity in Prisoner’s Dilemma. That’s cool, I guess.
Donathan – KING, kinda. I think you could do better another time.
Sebastian – You killed it, other than your shitty jury management. I don’t want to say too much and give you a bigger ego boost than you probably already have, but you still killed it. First tribal council, you sort of seemed on the outs, and you turned that around, and you never received a single vote against you. Even with your PUBLIC IDOL. That’s legit. Also, you’re still Ziggy and you always will be.

[Dale Wentworth]

Chris
You seem like a very enthusiastic player, having spoken to you a bit post your elimination. Wish you stayed longer in this season considering how it turned out.

Shii Ann – Removed
You were my winner pick you dumb bitch.

Angelina


Tanya


Brendan
This dude is a lot of fucking fun. Quits as soon as shit starts going south, instead of making it fun and fighting.

Natalie
I don't find the roleplaying shtick that funny. I completely understand why you got voted out.

Jed
Oh Jed, I had high hopes for you going into this. Your tribal ended up being one of the most exciting of the entire season, so congrats on that.

Ghandia
Gone too soon, you had funny moments, im sure other hosts will have more to say about you than me, but definitely one of the most stand out players from the season when it comes to how entertaining you were.

Kellyn
Kellyn I fell in love with you as soon as you didn't know where to vote in the first tribal, and kept bothering the hosts with silly questions. I mean in that in the best way possible. Another stand out character from a lackluster season, you will be what I remember the best when I think back on Morocco.

Stephanie
I wish you were as vocal in the game as you are at ponderosa but you had fight to you which was fun to watch and the little fights you got yourself into were entertaining. Wish you made it further into the game.

Mike
Oh Mike. You let Seb wave his idol in front of your face and didn't even really ask him to play it. I would have chewed his ass out and put him on the spot to play it for you and at least make him sweat/look like a jackass. But you were another fun player to watch and I enjoyed your run in the game. But I'm #TeamDanni

Pat
Who?

Clay – Quit
I wish you didn't quit because of a silly challenge, especially because it gave everyone major blue balls that the vote was stopped during the tribal idol twist. So that was lame. But you were pretty lame all season anyways so whatever.

Angela
People really had you pinned as the UTR winner and it looked like a real possibility. Played a great game, just wish we saw more of that savageness in public.

Alec
Voted out with an idol in your pocket. That must've hurt. It was a fun tribal but I wish you played your damn idol so that we could have seen an even better tribal. Wish you stayed longer.

Chelsea
I think people like you? I'm not sure but I think so... Congrats on winning FF. Like others said, you're a legend.

Davie
Who????

Donathan
I didn't really see the appeal to you at the beginning but your late game tribal one liners started making me crack up and made me change my mind on the concept.

Gabby
I guess winning Stranded is beneath you so you decided to play for Sebastian. Pretty lame way to play. It was enjoyable watching your heart to heart moments with him, very real and raw, which is always nice. Lot of people predicted you to win this season and I think you would have easily if you didn't develop this crush on Seb. Good game, hope to see you play again one day when you have more of a hunger to win.

Robb
I mean, you will only be remembered as the guy that threw away a win to get a blowjob from some hooker. Or whatever the fuck you were doing instead of competing in the challenge.

Sebastian
You killed it. I loved the way you played the game and you definitely deserve to win this season. Absolutely had everyone doing what you wanted and it was very fun to watch. Your relationship with Gabby only added to your character as it made you feel real and not just some game bot. Definitely one of the best characters of the season and it looked like you went from being an early pre merge boot to getting FTC (and hopefully winning) so a fun story to follow. You will forever be Ziggy btw.

[Caryn Groedel]

Chris
Chris knows this already, but he had a pretty shitty experience here. It’s already bad enough that he technically has a lower placing than inactives, but he was also the first boot of the season even though he showed immense amounts of promise as a gamer. I would’ve loved to see what he could’ve done had he lasted longer, and I reckon we’ll be seeing him again in a future second chances season.

Shii-Ann
Those midterms must’ve been really fucking hard, huh? Fuck off cunt.

Angelina
Guess she was too busy dealing with her bipolar disorder that she forgot she signed up for this game. Oh well. Fuck off cunt.

Tanya
You had so much promise in terms of being one of the most lovably bigger characters of the season…… and then you just disappeared.

Brendan
To be perfectly honest, I despise you even more than the inactives. You may have actually showed up, but as soon as things didn’t go your way, you bailed on the game. That’s the type of attitude that I simply cannot fucking stand. But I’m not surprised at all, you were clearly a victim of high school bullying so you’re probably not used to fighting back, you absolute pussy.

Natalie
By far the biggest blue balls castaway of the season. Based on her application we were anticipating a HBIC dominatrix, and then she comes into the game with a shtick pretending like she’s the actual Natalie. It was funny at first but it got tiring real quick, and yet she still played it up even all the way until her demise. She never showed her face again after that, so between that and that dumbass shtick, its safe to say she didn’t really give a shit about the game.

Jed
I know you’re still upset at how the way things played out for you, but you should at least take solace in the fact that your vote out was EASILY the best of the season. It was riveting, exciting, and shocking all at once. And up until that dramatic tribal council everyone on the hosting team was certain that you would easily make the merge & potentially even be a winner candidate. But your loyalty to Steph is what caused your demise, as you told her to play the idol and essentially voted yourself out in the process. But on the bright side, it made you the most notable pre-merger of the season. As well as a perfect candidate for a second chances season.

Ghandia
The most entertaining of our pre-mergers, you showed so much promise in the first few rounds as both a gamer & a character, with your sassiness and fun confessionals. Then the swap happened and you kinda just faded into the background, even if your confessionals still remained fun. I feel like if you made the merge than this game could’ve ended up being a lot different. And you probably would've found your footing again & become one of the biggest stars of the season. Yet another pre-merger who will surely be getting a second chance at this.

Kellyn
Definitely the biggest star of the pre-merge, and a flawless merge boot. You were absolutely fucking nuts. You were abrasively moronic, and an annoyance to everyone in the cast. But that’s what made you so fun. I know you’re not a fan of the Kellyn rep, but you really played her perfectly by being a bumbling fucking idiot. But somehow you bumbled your way into a power position in the game as the first Nomad which was incredibly fun to watch, along with your public & private spats with Chelsea. If I didn’t know any better I’d say you were a 12 year old, and I mean that in the best possible way I can.

Stephanie
Easily the biggest surprise of the season. You were one of the very last castings simply because we were unsure if you would deliver, but wow did you deliver, and proved us wrong in the process. You were, and I mean in this in the best possible way, an absolute stone cold bitch. You came in aggressive right off the bat, and the cast’s perception that you were ‘no fun’ is precisely why you were so much fun to watch. Your ‘cold war’ rivalry with Robb was one of the early highlights of the season, and you came into the merge knowing you were a major target so you went guns blazing, willing to reveal any information to anyone to save your own ass. Definite all-star.

Mike
Good lord, you were such a mess here. A constant overplayer who never knew when enough was enough, and always attempted to stick his hand into every cookie jar he could find, which was why you’d always get caught being shady as shit. And that’s what made it so easy for your allies to turn against you. But hey, at least your messy moments made you an entertaining power player. I still don't think you realize how close you were to getting voted out right before the merge, but you were always gonna end up being one of the first few merge boots had you made it there anyways. So, at least we got a few extra rounds of you being an absolute trainwreck player.

Pat
Not to be a dick or anythi-, oh who am I kidding, I fully intend to be a dick here. But I don’t think any of the hosts really expected you to do anything worthwhile in this game anyways since you were a replacement. And I mean, we were right, so…….. yeah. Stop playing online games and start doing your 9th grade algebra homework before your mom yells at you again, little boy.

Clay
What you did was pathetic, and an absolute bitch move. I’ve never seen anything more ridiculously wimpish in my life, and worst of all you had to do it in the middle of a pivotal tribal council instead of having the decency to wait until after it was finished. I don’t give a fuck if you have social anxiety or if you’re depressed or any of that bullshit, that was some pussy shit. Being too scared to talk to people and have them criticize you is not a good enough excuse to quit the game over some stupid questions, because those are your own problems due to you being a little bitch. The worst part is you quit even though you were boring as shit and did nothing, barely talked to people, and showed little care for the game. I really wish you were here to read this because you need a fucking reality check.

Angela
After the first couple of vote-offs at the merge, I pegged you as the UTR strategic winner who was gonna slide their way to the end as all the bigger players took each other out, and honestly that might’ve happened had you not gotten a bit twist fucked. It sucked seeing you kind of just lay down and die at the very end of your journey, but I don’t really blame you since you knew there was nothing you could do to save yourself since this cast was full of idiots, and you were one of the few with game awareness & intelligence. And I really wish you would've shown that more ruthless bitchy side in the actual game instead of saving it for Ponderosa. All that being said, you were by far the most bitter juror here & it was honestly apalling to see you claim that a guy who was barely around played a better game than someone who was active & actually made moves, even if he did piss you off in the end. I found it incredibly insulting as a previous player & I’m pretty sure a lot of the other hosts feel the same exact way I do about this.

Alec
My favorite part about you this season is how you forever pigeonholed yourself as ‘that one guy who just posted a bunch of shitty memes’. The blindside of Mike should’ve been the turning point for you as a character & a player…….. but then you just went right back into the arms of the people who orchestrated his blindside in the first place. From that point on, you went back into a follower position and was on borrowed time, because you refused to believe an ounce of anything that was told to you by someone you weren’t aligned with like an idiot. The only risky thing you did all game was not playing your idol, which resulted in you getting voted out with it still in your pocket and looking like the biggest fool of the game in the process. So the next time someone calls you dumb, don’t get upset and act all insecure, because you really are dumb.

Chelsea
I feel like you’re the quintessential player that the hosts hope to see every single season. Because you were the perfect example this season of someone who can be a really great player while also simultaneously being entertaining as fuck to watch. I mean, we always knew you were gonna bring the goods in the entertainment section, and you definitely did with all the public fights and hilarious insults. But you were surprisingly one of the most powerful players in the game. You were very persuasive & knew just how to get people on your side, and that was showcased multiple time throughout the season. And it’s always a blast to see someone be so dramatic & still manage to play a threatening game.

Davie
I say this as sincerely as I possibly can: you are by far the most nothing character I have ever seen get to the end. Because most of the time our endgame goats are at least super active, but you? You’re an endgame goat who barely showed any activity. The only notable thing you did all game was take immunity for yourself. And I swear to god, if you win this game solely because the best player of the season had shitty jury management, it will be utterly insulting. You would go down as the worst winner in the history of Stranded, and I’d literally create a petition to have you not be given the center position on the season cover which is a traditional gift to Stranded winners. That’s how bad you were. Good riddance.

Donathan
First things first, and I say this human being to human being (because you’re not a fucking concept): STAY OFF THE WEED. Seriously, stop with the whole “look at me my third eye is open and im like so woke?” thing, it’s fucking weird. And I get that being a weirdo is your whole thing, but it’s not healthy for you. Now that that’s out of way, I can say I found you somewhat endearing this season. You had small little funny moments every now and then, and you were endearingly charming in an oddball kind of way. Your gameplay however left much to be desired, you constantly didn’t put an effort into talking to people you weren’t allied with & just came off as Sebastian’s lapdog. You winning the season wouldn’t be as bad as Davie since you were at least active & were mildly entertaining with funny quotables, but from a gameplay perspective you winning is still not the preferred outcome either.

Gabby
I’m very indifferent on you. You’re erratically emotional and an absolute handful to deal with, and that lead to some fun moments. And I think you were a near-perfect Gabby in that regard. And your relationship with Sebastian was one of the more fascinating aspects of the game, up to the point where things started to get really emotional between the 2 of you and the whole relationship took a very weird turn. At the same time, your relationship with Sebastian also hindered you from reaching your full potential. I think you got too seduced by him, and that caused him to play you like a fiddle. It was honestly difficult to watch you follow his every move, and then after getting voted out realizing that he manipulated you on several occasions. It probably makes you feel stupid, and I mean you kind of are stupid, but like……. It’s not that serious I guess? IDK. I just don’t think you should be too hard on yourself about it.

Robb
Talk about a journey. I think early on you were destined to be an unlikable asshole who was top dog of the game, but by the end you somehow became a rootable underdog that a lot of the hosts wanted to see win. I mean make no mistake about it, there’s still people in this cast who don’t like you, because you were brashly outspoken and were never afraid to speak your mind about how you felt. But there’s no denying that you were one of the most hardcore players in this game, and it was always frustrating to see you attempting to make a power play every round that would never come to fruition due to the cast being filled with idiots (which you were well-aware of). Had the time zone issue not caught up to you, you likely would’ve immunity whored your way to the end and probably would’ve won. It sucked to see your story end the way it did, but you were still one of the biggest characters of the season regardless.

Sebastian
The jury won’t give you credit for it because they’re bitter, but you undeniably played an impressive game as you manipulated everybody. Constantly making secret deals, backstabbing and lying to people, never getting targeted even with the public idol in your possession, having a cult-like control over certain players, and showing no remorse for your actions. It was honestly infuriating to see you dominate the game the way you did as a viewer, because it’s what directly led to this season being so boring & predictable. With all that being said, you also probably have the worst jury management I’ve ever seen in Stranded, making yourself look like an arrogant prick in the eyes of the jury (which you kind of are). It was painstakingly horrendous and it might cost you the game, although after taking an absolute beating during the jury deliberations you’re very much aware of this. It was honestly pretty pathetic to see you pretending to play nice with the jury during the FTC, only to then retread to your confessional and talk loads of shit about them behind their backs & reassure your own inflated ego that you really are “amazing” no matter what they say about you. I mean it was hilarious no doubt, but also incredibly cringe as well. So, if you happen to win this season of Stranded, you’ll probably go down as one of the most polarizing winners of the entire series. And if you happen to lose, then you’ll have nobody but yourself to blame.

Chris: I was so sad to lose you so early in the game. The little time you were here though, you made a strong impact. You were a social and strategic threat. I think you would have made it far in the game. Sucks that you went out before other people. I expect great things from you in the future. Hopefully we get to see you again in a second chances season

Shii Ann: You never showed up even when you said you would, so I don't have anything to say other than it sucks that you took a spot from someone who wanted to play

Angelina: You were a big tease. You were one of the pre-season favorites. I was looking so forward to see you play. You had one of the best apps and I had high expectations that you would do amazing. Now we'll never know. Such a shame

Tanya: Tanya!!! Another Texas girl! ❤ Obviously I was a fan from the start. You were a big sweetheart. You were also a casting dream. I was so sad when you got booted. You were just starting to get your footing and you weren't afraid to make some moves. But you also disappeared that weekend. Hope all is well with you!

Brendan: I don't remember much from you. I think you were set up for at least making merge. But then you kinda just left after you were blindsided. So that was lame cus you weren't really in danger in that round. People actually wanted to work with you. Oh well

Natalie: Miss CEO! I know others got sick of your role-playing, but I was all for it. Every single second of it. You were hilarious and you were just starting to crank up the messy gameplay right as you went out. I for one was impressed and happy that you remained so committed to your character. Sadly it caused your demise

Jed: JED!!! ❤ You already know I love you. My rematch #1. I knew from the start you would be amazing and blow all the other hosts away. And I was freaking right! I'm so freaking proud of you! Your tribal was the saddest for me. It was also the most exciting part of this season. So at least you had a spicy and legendary exit. Your impact was so big that the jury still talks about how great you were. And why wouldn't they? I honestly think you could have won this game if you made merge. Love you Bri ❤


Ghandia: GHANDIA!!! Queen of confessionals. I swear that every post of yours made me laugh. I hate that Ghandia's Hammock ended so soon. I always tuned in for it. I look forward to you continuing them. Wish you had made it to merge. I feel that you could done some damage then. Love you ❤

Kellyn: KELLYN ❤ I joked that you were me. I also struggled with posting images and quoting during my time playing. I absolutely loved EVERY SINGLE SECOND of you. You were so entertaining to watch and one of my faves. You were my favorite nomad. I know you hate your avatar rep, but you should be proud of it. You made Kellyn lovable! I loved you calling everyone a babe to act like a woman. And i loved how hard you played. You are a legend in my eyes and went out too soon. Love you babe ❤

Stephanie: Steph, you were a firecracker and surprised all of us! I loved your game style. You were a force to be reckoned with. But what I loved most about you was your loyalty to Jed. I saw myself in you in that. I loved how you went to bat for Jed even though it could have repercussions for you. I would love to have an ally like you. You're also another one that was taken too soon for us. Love you ❤

Mike: Mike, Danni's little bro. I was excited to see you play because of that. Pre-season many didn't think you could deliver, but I had faith in you. And I was right to. Your gameplay was kinda similar to mine. Yeah, you weren't able to beat Danni's record, but you should still be proud! You did pretty well for you debut! I see you becoming a great player with more experience. And you're kinda funny. I enjoyed your gifs. Also, I HATED Mike in survivor and you made him lovable for me. Love you ❤

Pat: Pat, our replacement. You were put into the game after everyone had a few days to socialize, and that's always hard. I felt like you never quite found your footing until close to when you went out. But I loved the bursts of times when you shined here and there. You have potential. I think maybe you would have fared better if you had been here from the start and were more active

Clay: Clay, you are such a sweet person. I loved your app, so I had high expectations for you. You were busy a lot, especially in the beginning, so I felt that you didn't devote much time to this and it showed. But later you started to get more active and branching out. I loved when you started to really play. I loved seeing you get excited and start strategizing then. So I was sad to see you quit all of a sudden. Hope all is well with you and I wish you the best! Take care of yourself. Love you ❤

Angela: ANGELA! So in the beginning you were too under the radar for me, but boy did you deliver. You played such an amazing game! I loved reading your confessionals. Your strategy and reads were so good. And you were a comp beast. You knew exactly how to position yourself in the best spot. We all thought you would be our winner during merge. I was so sad when they took you out cus i loved watching you play and wanted to see you make finals. Love you, robbed goddess ❤

Alec: ALEC! You were one of my faves! Your memes were on point! And I won't lie, when you made the meme thread for me, that earned you a lot of brownie points from me. You were so much fun to watch play. You brought a joyful energy into your gameplay. I wanted you to make finals so badly. I was so happy when you got an idol. And then during your last tribal, I kept hoping you were receiving my brainwaves that I was sending you to play your idol. Alas, it seems my manifesting wasn't strong enough. That was so sad to watch, but you handled it so well afterwards. Love you ❤

Chelsea: CHELS! Oh my gosh! You are a freaking joy to watch! You're hilarious, a strong player, and so committed. I loved how seriously you took this. You were always online and I loved it! I always loved reading your confessionals and keeping up with your chats. You radiate this happiness and your personality is so gravitating. I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF YOU! I loved how genuine you were. And I loved how loyal you were! I hope you decide to stick around cus you are amazing and all the alumni are waiting to meet you! Love you ❤

Davie: Davie, you were another replacement for a player who had to pull out for personal reasons. So I had no idea what to expect from you. When you said you worked for a library, I was hooked cus I love books. However, I think you were too busy to devote much time to this game. You were way too under the radar for me. But whenever you did have time to play, I loved it. My favorite moment from you and where I saw great potential was when you took the idol and sent your tribe to the iconic Jed tribal. I see potential, so I wish you could have brought more moments like this into your gameplay. I felt you fizzled out towards the end and left much to be desired

Donathan: DONNIE ❤ My love, my son! You are the sweetest and purest thing to exist! My absolute favorite hands down, and my winner pick! I'm so proud of you! I was fangirling over you so much the entire season that all the hosts got sick of me. But I just couldn't contain my love for you. You were an absolute pleasure to watch. The best concept! I LOVED reading your confessionals. They were full of so much positivity and so endearing! I was like a proud mom shouting at a sporting event as you went thru the last challenge. I was so nervous that you almost wouldn't win it. But you did! Hope you can forgive me for all my punctuation. Love you Donnie ❤

Gabby: Gabby, you were a preseason favorite. Danni recruited you and told us how amazing you were. And your app was one of the best. I almost picked you as a winner pick. I had high expectations for you. You started off playing so well that we thought you might be our winner. But I won't lie, when you decided to not play to win anymore and instead play for Seb to win, I was saddened by that decision. It was a let down for me. You're a sweet girl and I loved how you played with a rawness. Your emotional gameplay reminded me a lot of mine

Robb: ROBB! When I first read your app, I thought I wouldn't like you. Boy, was I wrong. You quickly won me over. You soon became one of my favorites. I loved how active you were despite the rough time difference. You were so committed and went all out playing. I was so sad when you/Jed parted ways. I was so excited when you found both of your idols. You were another one I wanted to see make finals and thought could win. So it was heartbreaking when you went out. You had an amazing underdog story! And you were a comp beast. Love you Robb with two B's ❤

Sebastian: Zbass! My iso babe ❤ You already know I love you. I was kinda worried you would play too hard too fast again and go out early. And you almost did if your tribe didn't end up winning that challenge where you messed up. But I gotta say, you really impressed me with your gameplay this time. You had an amazing social game and were able to get so many people to trust you. I noticed you toned down your messy gameplay a lot from iso and rematch. As much as I don't want to say it cus I don't want it to go to your head, but you kinda were the mastermind this season. Your jury management needed some work though. And if you lose, that's what cost you the game. I'm still super proud of you! And like others said, you will always be Ziggy to me. Love you Z ❤

Your pre-season hype made my excited for you and you wasted a great rep ok.

Kellyn
You are Kellyn, accept it bby. I didn't always agree with your opinions, but you added a great alternative perspective and approach on the jury which is always great to see. Your pre-jury game was wonderful to hear about in the podcasts - having all the hosts be desperate for you get first Nomad and then boom it happens. The stars aligned for you to be a shining sun player in the pre-merge

Stephanie
Was happy to see you proved the pre-game assessments wrong, going from almost not cast to THIS. However, from jury onwards - take a chill pill.

Mike
<3 <3 <3 No-Survivor-knowledge players 4 life. Stick around, post pictures of the snek it's cute. You were fun to watch and hear about in the podcasts.

Pat
You seem nice. Replacements are always amazing, beautiful people

Angela
I was so sad to see you got voted out!! That was definitely the start of the heart-break parade for me :( Your attitude was wack in FTC tho.

Alec
I enjoyed listening about you in the podcasts and was sad to see you get voted out when you did. RIP idol mistakes <3 Why does jury turn amazing people into sourpusses? Idk what happened to you man, but it was sad to watch the rage overtake you. I hope you enjoyed the game and stick around :)

Chelsea
I literally could not tell if you were a mastermind or like... a Forrest Gump who everyone just thought was a mastermind? Honestly I still don't even know lol.

Donathan
You're an angel and remind me of some of the purest souls to ever grace Stranded. I hope you stick around and shine your light on the community forever <3 If you beat the odds and win I would be pretty happy - we need sweethearts to win this game every once in a while <3

Gabby
Oh man I related to you and then didn't relate to you so much in this. Sometimes you were bonkers and I hated it, but other times I wanted to pull you into a hug and tell you that it was all gonna be ok <3 Your emotional responses to everything were both heartwarming and at times a bit OTT, but it's always a pleasure to see a really emotional kind of player pop in.

Robb
UK-sleep-through-late-game-elimination club welcomes you. I was really rooting for you as the rounds moved along - we can't always get the fairy-tale ending though.

Sebastian
Idk if you win or lose this. To some extent if you lose, I think you'll have to own it as failures in your gameplay and I think you might have started to acknowledge that already. If you win, I'll be really happy for you as the person in the F3 with the most passion for it, but if you don't, I don't think you'll have been robbed either. I hope you know that we adore you, even if you are a bit delusional (who isn't?). Overall, you were definitely one of the most entertaining players this season so thank you for bringing it and making a splash in this

[Lucy]

Shii Ann - Removed
Good Luck with your probably creative writing major you little panty waste.

Kellyn
You were the biggest trainwreck, but in the best possible way. Also is your mood perpetual stroke cause girl, boy, straight boy, you type like an amnesiac on uppers.

Stephanie
I have never seen an intelligent person who clearly has spunk and fire make such poor and stupid choices. So glad you were on jury to make the winner the best person possible! Can't wait for you inevitable win of a Stranded All Stars season. That's not a compliment btw because they all suck :).

Mike
I was actually one of the only people pre-game not groaning about your relationship with Danni and despite your obnoxious self-deprecating that makes Gary look like fucking Dane Cook by comparison I will say that I'm glad that you proved people wrong and were not a complete final two goat being dragged to the end. I appreciate that clear nepotism didn't make you sit like a dead-fish. You actually tried. Even if you failed.

Pat
Who dat? Also ten pts to Gabby for catching the joke that went woosh over so many others heads. YOU WERE THE PERFECT PAT. There could not have been a better one.

Angela
Everyone kept comparing your style of game to me... but I sure as fuck never would have disrespected this series by casting a vote for a dead person JS. That being said you showed some understanding of the game. I thought you had a lot of good insights and you can probably grow out of being the television equivalent of the Oxygen Network.

Gabby
Say hi to your girlfriend for me.

Alec
I chose you as my winner pick because you were cocky, but seemed to have a deeper understanding of the game than most of these other people. Boy was I wrong. I think this will be my greatest Stranded shame. Picking you. Your game can be summed up with one blanket statement. Auto-erotic Asphyxiation. You choked so bad somewhere Michael Hutchence and David Carradine are high-fiving.

Robb
I'm glad you slept through that last immunity challenge. Reading you post about how much you enjoyed this game and how much respect you had for it and then you cast a vote for Donathon. Get fucking lost on to the way to the server please. I regret every saying you were intelligent. You are still the same bitter loser you were on AIM. I'm surprised you didn't add all of your friends to the jury chat when you got booted.

Sebastian
When the game started I was your biggest critic and detractor. I said you were a moron and that you were playing an unnecessarily sloppy game really early and was not impressed. Now as the game progressed you hit your stride and none of these fucktards on the jury can't say you didn't completely own this game. Watching the jury slander your game when they made the same mistakes was the most infuriating thing I have ever had to sit back and watch in my entire ORG Career. They lost and ate a brain tumor for breakfast and decided to vote for two people who don't even deserve and probably won't even be on this season's DVD cover. As of this post it looks like you're going to lose and if you do I just want you to know that the heart you displayed and your desire to win was admirable and I hope that these people wake the fuck up and give us the winner we actually deserve. I absolutely relate to your story and the pressure of playing the game but also being human and having feelings. Final tribal was kind of a mess, but i think that just comes with age and the fact that you should have been the clear front runner thus putting a lot more pressure on you. If you're still playing Orgs in five years you will be unstoppable.

Ghandia
You'll be back. Robbed Robbed Robbed.

Natalie
Apparently you came to LARP and not to play survivor. Girl this isn't a role-playing simulation.

My comments about Robb might change depending on how he votes Lulz since i can't edit this post.

Chelsea
Congratulations on your probably fan favorite victory. Have fun spending it on something as frivolous and as pointless as a Starbucks Frapp. Or you can just paypal it to me. I'm used to winning all the money :3. You were the shining star in this shitty little abortion of a season and I'm sorry your name will be associated with Morocco. It's all good though, you'll play another All Stars and in time everyone will forget.

I genuinely think that Chris is one of the most tragic first boots stranded history. Definitely gone too soon. I also believe that we will see great things from Chris in the Future. I felt like you started the game strong and just fell victim to unfortunate circumstance.

Chris knows this already, but he had a pretty shitty experience here. It’s already bad enough that he technically has a lower placing than inactives, but he was also the first boot of the season even though he showed immense amounts of promise as a gamer. I would’ve loved to see what he could’ve done had he lasted longer, and I reckon we’ll be seeing him again in a future second chances season.

Loved you for the short amount of time you were in the game. Your boot set the entire game in motion and created some of the best rivalries/alliances of the season. Would love to see you get another chance

Chris was an enthusiastic player, and following him post season it’s a big disappointment that he didn’t get to stay in over some of the flops that lasted more than a week.

You were new to this, and the last one casted. I had a lot of hope for you. Hope to see you again

You seem like a very enthusiastic player, having spoken to you a bit post your elimination. Wish you stayed longer in this season considering how it turned out.

I was so sad to lose you so early in the game. The little time you were here though, you made a strong impact. You were a social and strategic threat. I think you would have made it far in the game. Sucks that you went out before other people. I expect great things from you in the future. Hopefully we get to see you again in a second chances season

Alec, your energy and humor speaks for itself. You were always someone I considered a frontrunner for the win. I am not shocked you found an idol, I am not shocked you were in everyone's ear... I'm also not shocked that you left the game with an idol in your pocket. I think of all of the players this season, you are the one whose personality best matches the alumni. You fit in like a glove and you completely get the humor and fun of the game. I wish you had been a bit more aggressive in your play, although I know that would risk you becoming a large target. I think if you had you could have given Sebastian a run for his money. Either way, I'm so grateful we had you in this season and you delivered as far as I'm concerned.

My favorite part about you this season is how you forever pigeonholed yourself as ‘that one guy who just posted a bunch of shitty memes’. The blindside of Mike should’ve been the turning point for you as a character & a player…….. but then you just went right back into the arms of the people who orchestrated his blindside in the first place. From that point on, you went back into a follower position and was on borrowed time, because you refused to believe an ounce of anything that was told to you by someone you weren’t aligned with like an idiot. The only risky thing you did all game was not playing your idol, which resulted in you getting voted out with it still in your pocket and looking like the biggest fool of the game in the process. So the next time someone calls you dumb, don’t get upset and act all insecure, because you really are dumb.

we love a meme king. Was hoping to see some of the villainy and chaos you promised in your app, but with the way the season played out I don’t think it would have served you well.

Alec was an enigma. My ranking of him seemed to go in waves where I had high hopes preseason and he was letting me down early. Then he quickly rose up when he used the Tuareg and nomad twists to really set himself up. His downfall was a very fitting end to his arrogance. Also memes .

I’m glad you aren’t taking that blindside too terribly, but I’m still gonna make fun of you for it. Thank you for the memes <3

Voted out with an idol in your pocket. That must've hurt. It was a fun tribal but I wish you played your damn idol so that we could have seen an even better tribal. Wish you stayed longer.

ALEC! You were one of my faves! Your memes were on point! And I won't lie, when you made the meme thread for me, that earned you a lot of brownie points from me. You were so much fun to watch play. You brought a joyful energy into your gameplay. I wanted you to make finals so badly. I was so happy when you got an idol.

You were a popular preseason pick to do well, not because of any past experiences but because of your attitude toward the game and willingness to cut whoever. Well...that didn't happen. You ended up just jiving with the majority most of the time and being a meme-lord, which was fun but not really expected. I think you still have potential, as evidenced by you not pulling a Steph when your ally was blindsided, but I think you need to attack the game more. Also, your Ponderosa was insufferable.

Gabby is my sympathetic favorite this season. She came into the game with us thinking she would be the strategic force behind the season. She ended up playing kind of under the radar, but in the end I think she enabled Sebastian to control the game the way he did. Her social influence over the game was so strong that she was able to take plans that everyone would propose to her, and stop them from ousting Sebastian. I think the day after she was blindsided by Sebastian was genuinely one of the saddest things I've seen in the game. I really felt for her in that moment and it was a great reminder of what makes stranded so special. she gave the game her all, and poured her entire heart into it only for it to be shattered. While it was disappointing, I appreciated the dedication and emotion she put into the game, and I found myself rooting for her despite her questionable decisions. We have all made poor decisions by following our hearts and Gabby embodies that.

I’m very indifferent on you. You’re erratically emotional and an absolute handful to deal with, and that lead to some fun moments. And I think you were a near-perfect Gabby in that regard. And your relationship with Sebastian was one of the more fascinating aspects of the game, up to the point where things started to get really emotional between the 2 of you and the whole relationship took a very weird turn. At the same time, your relationship with Sebastian also hindered you from reaching your full potential. I think you got too seduced by him, and that caused him to play you like a fiddle. It was honestly difficult to watch you follow his every move, and then after getting voted out realizing that he manipulated you on several occasions. It probably makes you feel stupid, and I mean you kind of are stupid, but like……. It’s not that serious I guess? IDK. I just don’t think you should be too hard on yourself about it.

I enjoyed getting to watch you play without constantly wondering if you were fucking me over Was really hoping for you to win that final immunity so we could see the showdown of you and sebastian at the final tribal. I needed a better payoff to your guys twisted friendship.

Only the fascinating relationship between her and Sebastian made Gabby interesting.

Perfect casting LOL! But seriously, I relate to you so hardcore, and your story was compelling. I was split on you throughout this season, especially when you were putting Sebastian's needs above yours, but I love your heart-on-sleeve game. Please stick around.

I guess winning Stranded is beneath you so you decided to play for Sebastian. Pretty lame way to play. It was enjoyable watching your heart to heart moments with him, very real and raw, which is always nice. Lot of people predicted you to win this season and I think you would have easily if you didn't develop this crush on Seb. Good game, hope to see you play again one day when you have more of a hunger to win.

Gabby, you were a preseason favorite. Danni recruited you and told us how amazing you were. And your app was one of the best. I almost picked you as a winner pick. I had high expectations for you. You started off playing so well that we thought you might be our winner. But I won't lie, when you decided to not play to win anymore and instead play for Seb to win, I was saddened by that decision. It was a let down for me. You're a sweet girl and I loved how you played with a rawness. Your emotional gameplay reminded me a lot of mine

Oh man I related to you and then didn't relate to you so much in this.

Say hi to your girlfriend for me.

Miss controversial of this season. You will undoubtedly be one of the most remembered players from this season and be on the cover, and your arc with Sebastian is in my opinion the defining one of the season...but at the same time I felt extremely frustrated by you. You're clearly smart and have won multiple games in the past, but watching you be totally willing to throw away your game for a time to try to ensure Sebastian won left a really sour taste, and honestly was probably a big damper on the lack of moves on the season since you would just shut any ideas down. Sebastian needs to thank you though, since your pleading in Ponderosa contributed greatly to his win.

Also...LOL THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU AND SEBASTIAN REALIZE YOU KNOW EACH OTHER OUTSIDE THE GAME

You’re so butt hurt about being blindsided with an idol in your pocket that you had to be a bitter ass jury member and give a barely active goat the win. Congrats on being a joke of a player and a joke of a jury member.

Davie came in as a replacement and managed to make his way all the way to the final three. I saw some shining moments where I thought Davie would blossom into an amazing player. Specifically at the swap when he grabbed the Individual Immunity that sent his tribe to council. I thought he was finally understanding how this game kinda works. Unfortunately, Davie kinda went back into the shadows after that. There's nothing inherently wrong with that as a strategy, except we didn't get a whole lot of information out of him in terms of personality or decision making. I think this is probably Davie's first game and it might take him a little bit of practice to learn just how to excel in these things. That being said, he did well here and should be proud of his placement. Hopefully after some reflection and practice Davie will turn into a savage that we know he can be :)

I say this as sincerely as I possibly can: you are by far the most nothing character I have ever seen get to the end. Because most of the time our endgame goats are at least super active, but you? You’re an endgame goat who barely showed any activity. The only notable thing you did all game was take immunity for yourself. And I swear to god, if you win this game solely because the best player of the season had shitty jury management, it will be utterly insulting. You would go down as the worst winner in the history of Stranded, and I’d literally create a petition to have you not be given the center position on the season cover which is a traditional gift to Stranded winners. That’s how bad you were. Good riddance.

Really wish we had gotten some more personality out of you this season. I had such high hopes after the prisoner’s dilemma challenge, but then you faded back into the crowd.

Frustrating as hell and insanely boring. I have no idea how someone could play the game for a month and not realize you need to spend more than 10 minutes a night talking to people. In guesstimation he guessed there were only 2500 total messages sent and I’m sure that seemed realistic from his perspective.

You were just active enough to not be removed. Your highlight was snatching that immunity in Prisoner’s Dilemma. That’s cool, I guess.

Who????

Davie, you were another replacement for a player who had to pull out for personal reasons. So I had no idea what to expect from you. When you said you worked for a library, I was hooked cus I love books. However, I think you were too busy to devote much time to this game. You were way too under the radar for me. But whenever you did have time to play, I loved it. My favorite moment from you and where I saw great potential was when you took the idol and sent your tribe to the iconic Jed tribal. I see potential, so I wish you could have brought more moments like this into your gameplay. I felt you fizzled out towards the end and left much to be desired

It's looking like you will tie for runner-up, which is a lot better than I would have expected a couple of votes ago. You're a nice guy and provided a few nice moments (like taking immunity in the Prisoner's Dilemma challenge) but were too UTR to the point that not many could point to anything you did on your own.

Pat was our final replacement, and I'm grateful he was able to step into a difficult situation and adapt. It was frustrating because Pat showed a lot of promise, but never quite reached where we wanted him to be. I think in large part, it was a learning curve and Pat finally starting to understand it when it was too late. After he was voted out he finally got into the spirit of Stranded and started calling people out. I wish we had gotten to see more of that Pat. I do think that Pat will become a great player, he just needs a bit of a warming up.

Not to be a dick or anythi-, oh who am I kidding, I fully intend to be a dick here. But I don’t think any of the hosts really expected you to do anything worthwhile in this game anyways since you were a replacement. And I mean, we were right, so…….. yeah. Stop playing online games and start doing your 9th grade algebra homework before your mom yells at you again, little boy.

I wish we could have seen some more fire from you in the earlier portion of the game. You weren’t afraid to throw out names and get in on plans, I just think you needed to put some more effort into the social aspect of the game so people would take your opinion more seriously.

He was a replacement and showed exactly why he wasn’t originally cast

Ehhh maybe you could return when you’re older? 10th place as a 15-year-old isn’t too bad.

Who??

Pat, our replacement. You were put into the game after everyone had a few days to socialize, and that's always hard. I felt like you never quite found your footing until close to when you went out. But I loved the bursts of times when you shined here and there. You have potential. I think maybe you would have fared better if you had been here from the start and were more active

You seem nice. Replacements are always amazing, beautiful people .

Who dat? Also ten pts to Gabby for catching the joke that went woosh over so many others heads. YOU WERE THE PERFECT PAT. There could not have been a better one.

It's tough going out there as a replacement, but we've seen it be done well before. You have a great exit at your last tribal, but it just felt like you weren't really here a ton and people described it as hard talking to you. I think it's your age and as you grow up more and play more games you can develop into a better player.
