Alex
Social: C
Strategic: B+
Physical: C-
Target Level: 1
Edgic Rating: MOR
Alex is a schemer. He isn't, however, the best talker. He gets a C for his social game, due to the fact people weren't entirely sold on him. He only really gained allies due to his association with PG, and a lot of people found him difficult to talk to or boring. It'll be even harder in an All-Stars game, where people have pre-game deals and don't feel the need to talk as much.
Alex is a smart player, and I'm giving him a B+. If you read his confessionals during the rounds where Amber and Corinne both get voted out, you can see he clearly thinks a lot about the game. Although he is a smart player, his weakness (just like Lex's) is that other people don't like or trust him enough so he isn't able to relay his ideas and plans, even if they are pretty damn good. Alex is someone you want in your alliance, because he can help do a lot of the legwork for you.
Physically, Alex is slightly below average, so C-. I'm getting a lot more tired of this one, just because constantly pulling up challenge stuff from different seasons is getting old. Alex won a lot pre-merge, and nothing post-merge. Odds are they'll get around a C, unless they were particularly dominant in challenges.
Alex is gonna fly unnoticed this game, but he is a pretty big threat. He gets a 1, due to being on Japan which is probably the most forgettable season of the bunch, and he wasn't even in All-Stars originally. WATCH OUT FOR ALEX. He's a sleeper pick in this game. If he's able to get in some deals, he's going far. Otherwise, he's out early. He's a pretty easy boot, so people might take him out to keep their hands clean.
His edgic rating is MOR because he balances an UTR pre-merge game with a CP merge game. He definelty turns his game up to 11 when he hits the merge, and plays a whole lot harder and smarter.

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: 4Edgic Rating: UTRNAdam 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. I've been hit in the crossfire! |

Vytas will get his written up now.
Vytas
Social: B
Strategic: C
Physical: B
Target Level: 1
Edgic Rating: MOR
Oh Vytas, one of the two final pre-jurors for Bermuda who would've made All-Stars for sure if he survived that last round. With Chet off in Japan doing god knows what, Vytas gets the last Bermuda spot after Malcolm dropped out. Vytas is a pretty likable guy, so he gets a B when it comes to his social game. He's above average there but nothing too special.
Strategically, Vytas was another "Find an alliance and chill" type of player, which is a pretty average, basic strategy, so I'm giving him a C. The downside is he was considered the leader of his alliance and was targeted heavily when the tribes swapped, even though he was just a nice, slightly eccentric, guy. For seemingly no reason at all, his whole tribe flipped on him and voted him out, because they...listened to Malcolm? I'm still puzzled over that.
Physically, Vytas won 3/6 challenges, which sounds great, but he wasn't able to last long enough and get dragged down by the Natalie to Alina to Kelly immunity wins at the merge. B for him.
Vytas comes into this game as the most unknown player, because he's from an older season, hasn't been involved in the community, and went earlier than most people in this cast. He's a 1 for that. Now, I recall him saying he had very little time IRL and would only play the game if they really needed a back-up, so I'd wager his Unicorn Heart Attack alliance is his attempt to overplay and get himself voted out pretty early. I wouldn't mind that, because I'd wager that if we go to Tribal, Vytas or I gets sent packing.
Vytas' edgic rating is MOR. He's not too complex of a player, but being the leader of your alliance (or perceived leader) gives you a target on your head and makes it hard to be UTR. Might as well split the difference.

Hey now. I like Brian.
Ultimately, I hope he achieves what he wants.
That's what I mean by "I hope you do well". Like, achieve your goals. Create fuckery. Etc. etc.

PG
Social: A+
Strategic: B-
Physical: D+
Target Level: 3
Edgic Rating: CPP
Socially, PG is an All-Star. The easiest A+ of the entire cast assessments, PG was beloved by everyone not named JFP, and even he came around. She's very bubbly and charismatic, and is able to connect with people about something. She attracts allies like how a light attracts moths, and she's in a very good spot already. In Japan, I think there were some IRL tears when she got the boot.
Strategically, PG has a good grasp on the game, but is overly paranoid. She does much better as everybody's best friend, and shouldn't be in charge of an alliance. In Japan, she blew her game but not taking Alex's advice and playing with the minority and using them to help her get further. Also, her extreme effort in the challenge to return was essentially a death warrant, and most likely cost her the whole thing. Her strong social game combined with her good challenge game led to people thinking that she was a massive strategic threat, even though she wasn't. B-.
Physically, she herself had really bad numbers - 2/11,18%, but her effort into challenges isn't bad, so I'm gonna give her a D+. Her puzzle skills aren't as strong as others, and she can't do much outside of endurance challenges.
Her target level is only 3, and if this was after Japan, it'd be a 5. I expect people to remember her from Japan/Bermuda, and she's easily the person who has played with the most amount of All-Stars. PG won't win the season, but she'll have a mean run and should easily be able to make the jury phase of the game.
PG is the kind of player that normally will be at the center of whatever's happening in the game, due to her relationships and friendships, and her inherit friendliness, she gets a CPP.

The final Japanese write-up, just for your best friend Eliza.
Baylor
Social: C+
Strategic: B
Physical: D
Target Level: 2
Edgic Rating: OTTN
Baylor is odd, in that she can get some very strong allies while also alienating a lot of people in the process. She does normally make it far, which is why she gets a C+ rather than just a C. I'm also giving her the benefit of the doubt and expecting her friends in this game (Alina, Abi, Kass) to be more than willing to work with her/help her/provide her info, on her quest to get 9th place and finish with the three Amanda Kimmel spots: 2nd, 3rd, and 9th.
Strategically, Baylor gets a B because she normally has good ideas but can't execute them. She also does her best work while in the minority, which is good until she gets into the majority, and then frequently taunts people and loses a lot of potential jury votes. She actually has 2 votes out of a possible 16 at the Final Tribal Council, which says something.
Physically, Baylor isn't very good. D.
Her target level is 2 due to her having more friends than most people in the cast, but she isn't actually that threatening. She's most likely going far as a goat, and she isn't abrasive enough to get herself out very early.
Her edgic rating is OTTN, and uh...I don't think I need to explain this one.

Dolly
Social: A+
Strategic: C
Physical: A+
Target Level: 4
Edgic Rating: OTTP
Dolly has a fantastic social game, so this is an easy A+. Dolly is just so damn charismatic, and her "I'm ebeeeeeeel" obsession is pretty great. It's pretty entertaining, and she finds a way to connect. Who knew an alcoholic Canadian who loves dodgeball and house sitting would be a social goddess?
Strategically, Dolly's very run of the mill, pretty basic. C. Good ideas, occasionally over paranoid, but nothing too extreme.
I mean...we all know why this one is here. A+.
Dolly has a target on her back from being a massive character in the most recent season who was a consistent contender due to her strong social game. I'm giving her a 4 for being just shy of the "LITERALLY A MONSTER OH GAWD".
Edgic rating is pretty easy. OTTP.
I'm surprised how one of the biggest characters has this minimal of a write-up. I'm just lazy.

Requested by Eliza Orlins. This'll be my final one. Social: B
Strategic: A
Physical: A Target Level: 4Edgic Rating: UTRSocially, Eliza gets a B. She's always able to find allies in games, the number just depends on whether or not she's playing up a character. Being well-spoken (unless trying not to) is a great way to get some friends, and I'd rather talk to an eloquent person. It's not just me, seeing as how Eliza normally places well in any game she plays. Strategically, Eliza gets a A. While she normally plays very strong UTR games that rely on other people taking each other out and keeping the plotting to a minimum, winning multiple games means that 1. You're doing something right and 2. It isn't a fluke. Whether it's running your alliance to the end and taking out the most threatening one or avoiding certain death by being in the likable minority, Eliza's games aren't flashy. It isn't a series of big moves, it's a fuckton of small moves. Physically, Eliza gets an A. This is almost entirely due to the ungodly puzzle times she puts up. Eliza's target level if she was in Sicily would've been pretty damn high, but there are a lot of people who didn't know her/would've underestimated her due to her game in Egypt, so I'm giving her a 4. I don't wanna get into details, but there are a few people who would've gone after her instantly if she was in the game due to bad blood. I think Eliza could have gone far, despite being a winner, if she was able to outlast people like Baylor and Kass. It just depends where she started. Her edgic rating is well-described along with her strategic game. UTR |
