Brian Presents: Cast Assesment

[Brian Corridan]

Adam is gone, but I'll make his anyway. Social/Strategic/Physical are all A-F, Threat Status is 1 to 5, 5 being a major threat and 1 being nothing.

Social: B+
Strategic: C-
Physical: D-
Target Level: 4
Edgic Rating: UTRN

Adam played well in Egypt, and his non-flashy game is really why he won. I think he's an awful piece of shit, but he's an awful piece of shit that gets the game. I'm giving his social game an B+, because he was liked by the right people but wasn't loved by the whole cast the way a Dolly or a PG was. He was socially aware enough to know when to trash talk other people and make himself more appealing to some allies with it (CC) or when to hold his breath and just be chill (Jaclyn). Adam was even able to pinpoint someone to trashtalk and then still earned their vote.

Strategically, Adam's game was very bland and wasn't too exciting, so it gets a C-. He latched onto a power player (CC), avoided death by being considered less tight/less threatening than Cirie and Chelsea were. From there, he was considered less of a threat due to being CC's number two, so bigger targets were continually taken out, and he needed someone else to bring him to the end because he'd lose if he had to himself. It's a sloppy UTR game, highlighted by his personal remarks towards pre-jurors (Seriously, he's lucky he only had pre-jurors that openly hated him) which would've lost him the game if they were jurors. 

Adam won no post-merge challenges, and the pre-merge one gave people a ton of chances to win. He won 2/4 pre-merge, one during the swap (out of 3, 2 tribal, one individual), and then 0 post-merge. Out of a possible 16 challenges, he won 3. That sounds like shit on paper, but due to the number of individual challenges there were, it wasn't too bad...still, pretty bad, especially considering he was a finalist. 

Adam'st target level is a 4. Absolutely hated by a lot of the PWs and by other people from his season, Adam had the advantage of being an instant goat so some players like Lex were willing to use that to their advantage. He didn't have the same hatred from people that weren't as active in the community, which is why he's a 4 instead of a 5. 

Adam's edgic rating is an UTRN. In the game, he was able to float by relatively unnoticed while still being obviously negative. In his confessional he was absolutely terrible, going from UTRN - OTTN - OTTNN all the damn time. This is about the style of play, however, and not confessionals.

I'll be adding more here later from people I know will be in the cast, so cheers. 

[Brian Corridan]

My turn. Let's see how this goes. Note: Social game is how other people think of you. I'm encompassing the ability to read people, decipher what they're thinking, and figure out their true intentions into Strategic, just because "Strategic" is a scattershot label. 

Social: B+
Strategic: A-
Physical: C-
Target Level: 5
Edgic Rating: CPN

I'm giving myself a B+ for my performance in Greece. I was very well-liked up until the Teresa vote where people started to get worried, and my own social awareness is why it gets knocked down a peg, because I was bad at that in Greece. At the merge, I had the 'Everyone is playing for me" mindsight, which KILLS. YOUR. GAME. Seriously, bad idea. I am good at getting people to like me, but the other drawback is I've been too open about how I feel during the course of different games. I've had public feuds with Edgardo and Amber, and was one of the biggest Adam haters in Egypt. I might have friends, but I definitely made enemies. My social awareness should be better, which is why I'm giving myself a B+ and not a B in the end.

Strategically, I'm one of the strongest players here, in that I can balance a strong social game, get a good alliance, be able to make "big moves", and prove myself well. I'm just good at figuring this shit out. The - is the fact I got 7th, and that ties into my lack of awareness. I'm not overly paranoid, but I'm not overly calm. I have a good read on other people, and normally can tell when I''m getting votes. A- for me.

Physically, I won 2/10 possible challenges. 20% isn't that good, but since then it's proven to be an anomaly. I normally win more than that, but I'm not a challenge beast by any means. I'm giving myself a C- due to lack of commitment in some challenges, mediocre in puzzles, and I'd fail a board race. Pick Your Poison and Majority Rules are more my speed.

I'm easily a 5 for threat status. I was the main villain of my first season and a host after that, a very vocal one. People will LOVE to take me out, because of my baggage. I'm definitely at risk to go home pretty soon due to my reputation, activity, and social bonds that most people here don't have. This, combined with the alphabet strategy, means I'm an early boot.

CPN, my dream rating. I fit the bill very well, as a strategic mastermind that plays up the villainous side of it all. I'm definitely not an UTR force, and I'm by no means a positive force. I'm brash, outspoken, and proud of the way I play, even if it does get me in trouble. 

The yellow experiment will continue if the VL/Hosts like it. 

Alina
Social: B+
Strategic: D-
Physical: B+
Target Level: 3
Edgic Rating: OTTN

Alina is harder to pinpoint because she's so mixed over the course of her games. Socially, she normally starts out strong and then devolves into insulting and cursing a lot of the other people she's playing against. I'm giving her a B+ because I imagine she'll be more well-behaved in an All-Stars game. She can be very strong if she's trying to get you to like her, but often can go overboard and get annoying with people she's comfortable with, and odds are she's comfortable with a lot of people here.

Strategically, Alina sucks. I'm giving her a D because she understands the social game, but she's a very, very paranoid player. She takes out the wrong people at the wrong time, and often digs herself into a hole that she can't dig herself out of. Take Bermuda. She placed way too much trust into Kathy, who hated her, blew up her game in a fit of rage because Kathy left, made an alliance with Chet and then voted for him back-to-back rounds, ignored Lex's advice and trusted Edgardo because he would compliment her, and then her alliance gets destroyed because she puts too much trust into him. She then needed to win four immunities in a row to stay in the game. The only reason she doesn't get an F is that she's apparently won before and gets that being social is a key element of the game. Some people (Tyler) don't get that. 

Physically, Alina was a beast in Bermuda, but apparently hasn't been nearly as good in other games due to less motivation. She would've received an A+, and while I think she'll try hard here, I doubt she'll be able to repeat her Bermuda success. B+. 

Alina gets a 2 for threat status, due to her continual high placements (She's almost always the final juror), but she isn't a massive villain who people will instantly gun for. She's also honestly not that strong of player, in that she burns too many bridges and will lose most of the games she plays in due to her going batshit crazy towards other people in the cast. I can see her making a good run, but I can't see her winning. She's gone in the first 7 rounds or she's gone in the last 7 rounds.

Her edgic rating is OTTN. She's overly paranoid, constantly worried about stuff going on and thinking up ridiculous scenarios that fuel her paranoia. I had to hold her hand in Epic to minimize the damage. She's a metaphorically loud player, with OTT schemes, a social game that dissolves into insulting others, and a need to win challenges, all things that keep her in the spotlight. I contemplated giving her an OTT, but I can't trust Alina to calm down and not overthink everything. 

Austin
Social Game: B+
Strategic Game: C
Physical Game: C
Target Level: 2
Edgic Rating: OTT

Grant, oh Grant. His sheet looks well-rounded, but the edgic rating gives it away. You'll see. Socially, he's a B+. He gets other players to like him, is able to find his way into good alliances, but often isn't the most well liked person and is above average. Enough to get himself into alliances, maybe even a close partner, but nothing more than that. Also, LACK OF SELF AWARENESS X10.

I'm slapping a C onto Grant, and I still think it's generous. Grant has a great understanding of the game on paper, but in games has no social awareness and assumes that everyone is playing for him to win. He doesn't always make bad moves, but the issue is he frequently is seen as the leader of his alliance, which is also bad. Grant either is playing way too hard, or is misjudged as the biggest threat of his group. When he isn't trying too hard, he's a goat. I think he has a good shot and a lot of upside, which is why he's getting a C. I'll explain later.

Physically, Grant is a very average player. He normally doesn't win many post-merge challenges, but can if he needs to. Pre-merge, he's normally just an able body, but not the major force behind winning challenges. He won 4/9, which is pretty solid. He's gonna be lower than a lot of others with that relatively close to 50% challenge wins due to a lack post-merge.

Grant isn't a threat, but he's inspired Granting and GOOC. I'm giving him a 2, because multiple people might try and vote him out because he's Grant, but he isn't a scary player. Grant is by no means a threat, and doesn't have that big a chance to ultimately win the game. I can see him making the jury easily, but he either gets taken out there for being a "threat" or makes the end as a goat and loses. I'd say he makes the jury unless he starts on a tribe with Gabe, RJ, or I. (Baylor, Teresa)

His edgic rating was tougher for me. It was either CP or OTT, and I decided on OTT. Grant is a smart player, but he's Grant and more often than not is his own worst enemy. He isn't the same OTT as Alina is, but he definitely warrants a lot of sighs and facepalms.

[Brian Corridan]

Kass
Social: B
Strategic: C-
Physical: B
Target Level: 2
Edgic Rating: MOR


This is another hard one. Stephen and I have played a lot of games together, and in some he's a social butterfly, some he's a strategic threat, and others he's a bonafide goat. This is a ton of speculation, even though I've seen him in action the most. Socially, B. Stephen either is a one-word answering machine or a butterfly, and I think due to the amount of people he's recruited to the series that are in All-Stars, he'll be harder to communicate with.

Strategically, he does well when it's with randoms. If it's a returnee game or alias game where the aliases get revealed (Pure), he doesn't do nearly as well. He gets overemotional and indecisive. Here, it'll be a balance of his recruits/closer friends (Baylor, Marcus, Teresa, Dolly, Kelly, myself) and people he's very neutral on. I think this is gonna be a harder game for him, due to him being very active in the community + having a ton of recruits. C-.

Physically, Stephen won 5 immunity challenges in Greece, and some were by accident. He normally does a solid job, and he's slightly above average. Doesn't try too hard, but he's by no means bad. B.

Stephen has a lot of friends in the game, which is the only reason he's a 2 instead of a 1. People like Alina, Lex, Austin, and JFP will be scared of him and could try and get those less involved in the community here to kick he and his buddies to the curb, but I see Stephen going very far due to the bonds he's built. He has no real enemies among the cast (Alina is the closest thing to it, and they just make passive-aggressive jabs at each other), but odds are he'll get overemotional and make himself a goat.

Stephen can be any of the edgic ratings, and is normally toneless. I'm giving him MOR as a very generic, safe rating, but he can fluctuate. Stephen could be OTTN or UTR, but it'll just take some time to see how it unfolds.

[Brian Corridan]

JFP
Social: D+
Strategic: F
Physical: C-
Target Level: 4
Edgic Rating: OTTN


My god, Frank is an atrocious ORG player. He's way too aggressive, very shady, overconfident and sloppy. He's easily the worst player in the cast. Socially, Frank gets a D+ only because he has some friends here (myself included). Normally in games he pisses people to the point where he gets voted out. He's lost in the FTC, made jury once, and has gone pre-jury ever other time. It's impressive how abrasive he is.

Strategically, he gets our very first F. I don't know how he does it, but his over-the-top, ridiculous ideas make absolutely no sense and normally aid in getting him voted out. He cannot read people at all, he reveals information he shouldn't, hide information he should reveal, and is all about trying to target his allies and keep his enemies in the game. It's honestly impressive how bad he is.

He's below-average in challenges, but not by much. C-. It's harder to gauge challenge strength off of the tribal phase for the most part. 

JFP's target level is 4, because of how OTT he is. He has this nasty legacy following like a raincloud, and while he's an instant goat, he puts his foot in his mouth and is too loose of a cannon, so you need to cut him sooner rather than later. Like Alina, he's out very early or very late. 

OTTN is pretty obvious for Frank. 

[Brian Corridan]

Teresa
Social: A-
Strategic: C
Physical: A+
Target Level: 2
Edgic Rating: OTT

RJ plays a mean social game, where he's able to get people to like him with his wit and humor. He can make friends by insulting them, and is almost always popular when he plays. His A- is a minus because odds are he ends up upsetting someone, and often it can get him in trouble.

Strategically, RJ does nothing, which is why he gets a C. He normally makes himself a tribe leader by actively trying to win challenges, and is considered a threat because of it. He normally doesn't play a flashy, impressive game, either because he's just doing his thing or being an OTT jackass, and people are scared of his big ego.

Our first ever A+ goes to RJ because he's an absolute monster. RJ can win anything he sets his mind to if it's individual, and he only loses team challenges when other people don't put in the same amount of effort he does. If he loses individual challenges, it's most likely because he's sandbagging. Occasionally he'll drop a challenge to someone, but he's the pinnacle of challenge whoredom.

For target level, he gets a 2. I would've given him a 1, but his OTT personality makes him more of a presence even if it isn't a threatening one. He's going to be big, but not scary. He also enters the game with either 0 reputation (if you don't him from a game outside of Greece) or as a hilarious challenge beast.

RJ, like me, is probably not going to try too hard which is why he gets OTT. He said he'd go with a Reverse-Alphabet Strategy, which will be a lot of fun to watch. We need people to dick around and not take this seriously, because some people will be taking this game very, very seriously. Gotta keep the mood light.

[Brian Corridan]

I'm going through season-by-season now that Adam + the core Warriors alum are out of the way.

LJ
Social: B+
Strategic: B
Physical: C+
Target Level: 2
Edgic Rating: UTRP

It'll be different analyzing people just off of their Warriors game, but I think it'll be easier. LJ gets a B+ for his social game. It was good, in that people liked him, but he wasn't a core member of the Seven Sages (aka the original Ares members minus Candace and plus me). He wasn't a social butterfly and was nobody's favorite player. While he was universally well-liked, the lack of a true partner/ally keeps him from getting an A, but ultimately helped him in his win.

Strategically, LJ gets a C+, due to a game very reliant on luck and other people. Pre-merge, he was active enough and didn't have any real formal alliances, just some unspoken stuff. At the merge, he was included in the Seven Sages due to being active (like, that wasn't even that much of a requirement). He was left out of the core group, and his gameplay mostly relied on other players going after bigger threats and LJ needed two immunity wins to stay in the game. It was a very, very lucky game, and while luck is a part of it, LJ didn't need a strategic game - he won due to his social game.

Physically, LJ gets a C+ due to the Final IC, the one he needed most. He and I were on a tribe together the whole game, so we shared the ability to win a single pre-merge challenge together, and he won 1 post-merge challenge, meaning he won 2/12 aka 1/6. 17% sounds pretty bad, but I have faith LJ will do a better job than Greece for whatever reason. 

LJ's target level is 2, and the only reason it isn't a 1 is because he won. LJ played a solid UTR game, and most people don't know how Greece unfolded, except the hosts, the Greece All-Stars, and...Alina/Malcolm. Okay. LJ is probably going far, unless people only try and team up with those closest to them. I expect LJ to make the top 12.

LJ's edgic rating is an UTRP, because he's a very lovable guy who played a good UTR game.


Yul
Social: A
Strategic: C
Physical: B+
Target Level: 1
Edgic Rating: MOR


Socially, Yul was a very likable guy, so A. This is probably gonna be one I don't have much to write-on. Very likable guy, included in multiple deals, but he was just a step down from social butterflies like Dolly or Peih-Gee. 

Strategically, Yul get a C for doing nothing except joining the Seven Sages and being active.

Physically, Yul gets a B+ for winning 2 challenges pre-merge and 2 challenges post-merge, making it 4/12 (even though he was in 11 rounds, the 11th round had two boots because Jay finally died). He did well on everything but NuAres, which was a shitshow.

Yul's target level is 1, because he's a MOR 6th placer who occasionally would get a CP, but in a season with less confessionals + Airtime Whore Brian, he's gonna get overlooked. Yul is a massive question mark, and as long as he ends up on a tribe without too many people who know each other, he's an early candidate to win it all.

For an edgic rating, Yul gets a MOR because of his performance in Greece. He wasn't too UTR, but he wasn't a CP mastermind/strategist. This is a great spot to be in.

[Brian Corridan]

Bermuda.

Kelly
Social: A
Strategic: A+
Physical: B+
Target Level: 3
Edgic Rating: CP


Kelly is easily one of the most dangerous players in this game, and I don't think most people even know it. Socially, Kelly's an A. She excels at gaining friends and allies, and in Bermuda, only two people had bad things to say about her at the FTC, those two being Edgardo and Natalie, the first one being absolutely delusional and the second one being a character gone wrong. Sorry Eliza, that's not your best. 

Strategically, Kelly gets an A+. She's played the best game the series has seen so far, easily. There's only one blunder she made, and that was putting too much faith in Malcolm (which ultimately didn't matter because Edgardo decided to flip on them to make a BIG MOVE 4 STRADEGY!111). Kelly wasn't ever at risk at being voted out, and that's because she let Edgardo and Natalie publicly flaunt their egos while she sat back and relaxed, and sat back and watch as Ed blew up his game by idoling out Malcolm, (It would've tied, but the point stands). From there, Kelly dictated every other post-merge vote, taking out Edgardo when Alina won immunity and then Natalie because...reasons? It didn't ultimately matter, because Kelly won the last two challenges and with her FIC win, she sent Alina to her token final juror spot and then won 6-1 instead of 5-2 because Denise didn't show up. 

Physically, Kelly won 5/13 challenges, two post-merge and three tribal. 38% (give or take) is solid, and Bermuda had back-to-back double TCs, so anyone not named Alina or Natalie will have a poor rating. She gets a B+ though, for being one of three really good challenge performers of the season. Alina, if only judged on Bermuda, would've been given an A due to being immune 6/13 times and Natalie (had she made AS/played as Eliza) would've gotten an A as well, for being immune 6/13 times. 

Kelly's target level is only 2, and that sounds exceptionally low given the resume I've provided. A social, strategic threat who was one of the top 3 challenge performers of her season AND a winner? A 2? Now, I actively have payed attention to every season in some capacity, and make an effort to go back to previous seasons and stay brushed-up on the history of the series, but Kelly won't be looked at as a threat. Seriously, Kelly will have people like Kass and Alina talking about how great she is, but I can't think of more than 3 people actually penning before the game has started that Kelly is a threat to win it all. Seriously, she's an amazing player, but she's gonna be underlooked. People from Japan might've read Bermuda when their season was going on, but again, that was awhile ago, and most of them probably forgot. She has some solid pre-game bonds, a great mind for the game, and SELF-AWARENESS, the most important thing possible. If I was in the VL, I'd have Kelly as my winner pick.

Her edgic rating is CP, and I've pretty much summed it up. Smart, social, good in challenges, will be overlooked by most of the cast, and has a few strong pre-game bonds. Kelly normally does a good job with confessionals as well, so have fun watching the gears in her head turn. If she can pull off what she did in Bermuda, she's a frontrunner in this race. 

[Brian Corridan]

Charlie
Social: A
Strategic: D
Physical: C-
Target Level: 1
Edgic Rating: MOR


Charlie plays a mean social game, so he gets an A. He was well-liked by the cast, and even generally sour people like Edgardo and Kathy took a liking to him. He's just shy of that + because he wasn't the same degree of a PG or a Dolly, but he's pretty damn close. There was no way he was going home at all until the merge, and even then he only went before Alina because she won another immunity challenge. 

Strategically, I'm giving Charlie a D, though I think he'll do better than that here. Charlie in Bermuda was Alina's number two, which at first was a great position to be in. After she went mad with power and paranoia, he turned into her YesMan and allowed her to run around like a chicken with her head cut off. He wasn't bad, but he didn't bring anything to the table in Bermuda except "Alina's BFF". Charlie is also a primarily social player, so his strategic rating is always bound to be on the lower side. I know he's a well-accomplished player outside of Warriors, but I'm just sticking to Warriors after the usual suspects got analyzed. 

Physically, Charlie gets a C-, due to winning 2 challenges out of 10. Again, 20% is pretty low, but Bermuda is naturally lower than most seasons, so I'm keeping him above a D. Not too much to add here.

Charlie isn't threatening at all, so he gets a 1, but he could make waves. I'm expecting Charlie to make the merge, because he isn't threatening at all and nobody has any real negativity towards him. He could do a good job and win, but he's a dark horse out of the initial group of winner candidates I have. 

Charlie gets MOR, because he's a primarily social player, but he isn't UTR, if that makes sense. He's a known presence, and his game isn't "float by and let the big targets get taken out". It's "stick with my alliance, take out of the top dog before the finals, win".

[Brian Corridan]

Lex
Social: C
Strategic: A
Physical: D
Target Level: 1
Edgic Rating: CPM

Lex has some issues socially, which is why he gets a C. He is a likable guy, but the age gap he has really stands out, and in Bermuda he was at the bottom of the Kidd tribe. He has a hard time connecting with some people, but it isn't crippling. It's not like he's a complete outcast. He just loves his football and hip-hop, and some people don't really care for either. 

Strategically, Lex gets an A. Lex has a great understanding of the game, and pretty much every prediction he made in Bermuda is spot-on. He's very good at understanding how other people think, and he's great at reading people. The only problem is his social bonds aren't strong enough so people don't listen to his advice. Edgardo could've been blindsided at the swap and his alliance and then CHET COULD'VE MADE THE JURY.

Physically, Lex won 2/9 and I'm giving him a D. He had a lot less chances in comparison, but he wasn't nearly as dominant as other people and he wasn't a perennial competitor. He's not dead weight, but he doesn't put that much effort in and normally is a much weaker challenge performer than others.

Lex's target level is a 1, he's a pretty forgettable person. I'm sure most people from the later seasons don't really know him. I can't see Lex winning, but 

His edgic rating is CPM, because Lex frequently is a man with an attitude. His arc in Bermuda is a tragic one, and still remains my favorite the series has ever seen. I've gone on about it a ton before, so I'll keep quite about it. 

[Brian Corridan]

Edgardo
Social: C-
Strategic: D
Physical: D
Target Level: 4
Edgic Rating: OTTN

Oh Ed, you fucking suck. Socially, he gets a C- because he gets people to like him, even if it is a very obvious, fake sickly-sweet thing. It only really worked on Alina, but that was all that mattered. There's a reason Chet and Lex both publicly went after you.m 

Strategically, Ed gets a D. His game in Bermuda was do nothing until he flipped for no actual gameplay reason, it was his attempt at an All-Star bid. With that move he burned all bridges possible and he didn't even make the end because Kelly slayed him because he was that awful to be around. (Also, his jury speech is so delusional and bitter that I gag when I read it.)

Physically, D. Ed won a Into the Triangle and got his idol and won 2/12 challenges, which is the lowest percentage of anyone post-merge. 

Ed has a pretty big target on his back, so he gets a 4. People like Kelly, JFP, and I all aren't fans, and it's really easy to see through his act. 

OTTN for Ed. Seriously, his game is UTRN until he decides to make a big move for no reason, and then picks tons of fights with people every single round until the game has ended, and even then some. He's pretty bad.

*sigh* 

I thought we had a standing agreement never to mention Natalie again, Brian. 

[Brian Corridan]

I'm gonna be skipping Malcolm until we get conformation that he's actually going to be playing. Instead, onto Japan.

Abi
Social: D
Strategic: D
Physical: F
Target Level: 2
Edgic Rating: OTT

Socially, Abi's character placed her at an immediate disadvantage, where it was pretty annoying and contrived. However, some people took a liking to Abi, even though most of them disliked her. D. 

Strategically, Abi's game was "Do Nothing", "Flip on JFP", "Do Nothing". She burned a lot of bridges with that move, and put herself in an unwinnable end game scenario. After Amber went home, there was nobody except for Baylor that Abi could beat in the end. Her flip made some sense and wasn't just an All-Stars bid, but it was still pretty stupid. D. 

Physically, ABI 2 CHALLENGES OUT OF 15. HOW. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE, YOU'RE IN THE DAMN ENDGAME AND YOU WON 2 CHALLENGES? F. YOU'RE DONE. 

Abi's target level would've been a 1, but she's bringing the stupid character back so it gets bumped up to a 2. I can imagine people getting tired of it and going after her because it's a pretty good reason: take out the most annoying people. She's probably gone in the first few rounds. 

Abi's edgic rating is OTT, and it isn't just because of the stupid broken English thing. Abi isn't afraid to make big moves, and even if she doesn't, she's always willing to entertain the notion. Also, when in the minority, Abi flips her fucking shit and is absurdly unreasonable. 

[Eliza Orlins]

When you're done these, can I get an assessment rating for how I might have done if I'd played? I'm very intrigued.

[Chet Welch]

Me too Darling. I'll reward you with a SPECIAL surprise. *wink wink*

[Brian Corridan]

I'll do both after I finish it all up. Up next we haaaaaaaaaaaaaave...

Coach
Social: A+
Strategic: C+
Physical: C+
Target Level: 3
Edgic Rating: CP

Coach, in theory, is another dangerous player that will probably get overlooked. However, I don't think he'll be taking the game that seriously. Socially, he gets an A+. He's absurdly charismatic, and has a phenomenal track record in different games. Entering Warriors (his 4th game), he had won 2 and finished 3rd as the final juror in another. He's just such a likable guy, he can find something in common with just about everyone. 

Strategically, I'm giving Coach a C+. He has a great mind for the game, and that was seen in his confessionals, but the execution of his game was flawed and he put himself in an endgame where he was considered too threatening to make the end. He wasn't as close to Abi as he thought, and sticking with JFP would've been better, because the dude would've made for a mean goat. Unlike Abi, Coach actually justified his move and was a threat to win the game, just because he was less despised than anyone else left in the F5 (except Eliza). 

Physically, Coach is nothing special. I'm too lazy to pour through the challenge stuff, but he did a good job pre-merge and I think he won a single immunity post-merge. Don't quote me on that, though. C+

His target level is 3, just because of the amount of Japan alumni in AS. You have the other 5 from Japan, and then CC, Marcus, and Silas from Egypt. That's a lot of people knowing who you are. Coach probably will make it to late pre-merge. 14th/15th.

Coach's edgic rating is CP, due to the complexity of his plans and the way he plays the game. He comes off like an over excited bro sometimes, but Coach is smart as fuck and gets the game.
