All Stars! Who is worthy?

[Host Brett]

I figured we could use a thread on All Star picks. Not sure how many we're picking from this season... probably as many as we feel earned it. For the sake of limitations though, quits (even though Shambo's was understandable and we let her stay on the jury) and prejurors really shouldnt be considered, as much as I would love it if Phillip was in.

[John Carroll]

My choice on All Stars are Kim, Danielle and Rory and maybe Sherea

[Jaime Dugan]

Sorry I havent commented much, usually just checking when I have little time, I want to start commenting more though! From what I've seen I think Kim, Danielle, Rob, Ted and Sherea should all make All Stars

[Host Lex]

We're gonna need titles for everyone too, cause I really like titles. Survive It did it and Andy's series did it, and I've seen others, but I don't consider it to be ripping off! It's fun.

Top Tier

Danielle - She's had a great grip on everything that's been going on in the game. Entertaining confessionals, active, strong challenge wise, social, etc. She's been playing to win the second it started.

Possible title:



Kim - She pretty much ran the show on each of her two pre-merge tribes. She found the idol, kept up with her confessionals, constantly planned, etc. We'll see if she can break through her typical 7th ish place finish and go further than usual.

Possible title: The Showrunner



Sherea - Won the pre-game Top Sausage because of how entertaining she is. Also the only person to win it twice so far! Active, fun to watch, social, really involved in the game.

Possible title: The HBIC. She uses that to describe herself. Same title as in Andy's series though so I kinda want to change it. I'm not sure.



Rob - One of the most entertaining players, to me anyway, and definitely the most talked about player among the cast. It's also his first 'major' ORG. He hasn't been in as much power as he's thought all along, but he's certainly smartening up a lot more now. Despite having a target on his back because of the false idol rumor, hes survived round after round somehow. Also, despite being perhaps the most honest and sincere person in this game, everyone thinks of him as this huge villain, which is hilarious. Funny, entertaining, and I think if he comes back for another season his gameplay will improve and he'll be more aware.

Possible title: The Drunk. Trying to think of something better though. Something that describes the fact that he's thought of as this huge power player and villain but isn't really.




Middle Tier

Rory - So disappointing at the start, but now he's more involved he's really starting to play. Finally seeing the Rory that I've been looking for. I think he'll definitely make it. He's much more entertaining now than he was at the start, and much more social. He's got an HII now too and the individual immunity. He could end up doing really well.

Title: The Crusher




Neleh - Also very entertaining. Nice, funny confessionals, fun to watch. She's doing fairly well too, but she might be leaving this round. She's definitely a possibility though.

Possible title:




Ted - Left early merge before he could really do much, which is unfortunate. He's got it in him to do some great things, but he just didn't get the chance this game due to his alias failing. He's kind of right on the line for me.

Possible title:





Bottom Tier

Jason - So funny at the start. Well, still so funny to me, but he's not really active enough to show it, which is too bad. He's so entertaining, but I wish his gameplay would pick up a bit.

Title: The God



Shane - Kind of floating a bit, but he's trying. He's had some really shitty luck through the game. He hasn't been as active as I'd hoped either. We'll have to see how he finishes.


Sally - Got out too early to make it I think, which is too bad. She could've done great things.


Shambo - Definitely a character, but quit which hurts her chances quite a bit. Fun to watch though.





I Wish Tier

Phillip - Most entertaining person in the game...but pre-jury

Title; The Specialist or The Lion/Gorilla

[Boo Bernis]

I think you nailed all the people that have it for sure and I think Kim, Rob, Sherea and DD should get it from this point out as long as they stay active which they all will.
I think the fact Rob PICKED Rob is why he's viewed as a Villain...you just get that reputation and can't really break it even if you play honest. Happened in both Survive It games I played as Russell even though I was completely honest and nice to people I was still "a snake."

Kim

[/u]-
As annoying as it is to hear about it sometimes, has been running mostly everything. You can't NOT have him in an All Stars if he can manage a good placement. In eSurvivor he found the idol as well, but was conned into wasting it (as you well know Curtis ) hopefully she can do something good with it here, but I don't think that will factor into getting a spot.

Title: The Showrunner[/center]

Rob

[/u]-
He has been the most entertaining for me. I enjoy him and what he's brought to the game and I think you're right that he'll bring his game up now that he knows what he should be doing. With the drama that's about to unfold I could see himself sailing UTR into the finale. He just needs to keep a low profile and keep up the social game. He was a target and avoided being outed, now I think people like DD, Kim, and Sherea are creating more attention on themselves and I think if Rob can get a good group of people he can finish this game off right and I think he could win if he can sell himself properly at FTC.

Title: The Overestimated?
DD said it herself and it's true. He had so much hype when really he was just scared of leaving and putting faith in people he didn't even trust lmao[/center]

Sherea-

[/u]
Haven't been keeping up with her as much as others, but I know she has a lot of sass, creates a lot of controversy and is very active and involved. But I don't think she is in any way a HBIC, I think she THINKS she is. I would still think she's good for All Stars, but I'd consider a different title than what she is claiming herself to be because it's only a fantasy haha

Title: The Bouncer?[/center]

Danielle-

[/u]
I think this is as good as you'll get from most games. She's kept a good head the whole game and has really been thinking and analyzing everything and how she could use it to her advantage. I think now she's going to be in trouble and I don't think she'll see Kim turning on her, but she is the only person I see that would hands down win the game, might even sweep all votes. Overall she's been the most consistent player and did what she could to advance not only herself, but her alliance mates. Also she has stuck with the same people and has known from the beginning who she wants with her in later stages of the game. It takes a lot to do all that and be successful.

Title: The Frontrunner?[/center]

Rory-

[/u]
Oh man! I mean I understand he hasn't exactly played much up until this point, but you gotta get this guy in, and you KNOW it! If not, only for his character. He's been entertaining as hell as we all knew he would be and I think he's surpassed most of our original thoughts. He's beginning to bring the mind and the character together and even though I don't really see him winning the game, it shows a lot that he has acted like he has and yet has never become the center of a vote or really been in much danger of leaving.

Title: The Crusher/ The Loudmouth?/The Hunter (Since he was hunting Ethan since like day 1 haha)[/center]

Ted-

[/u]
I feel like you want him based on previous games you've seen him in, not what he's done here. I'd say no to him, but I would say that you should keep him an open option for a Rory-Ted faceoff. Like the real show pitting Rob and Russell or eSurvivor Nate vs Sally (although those were lame choices). Anyways, I'd definitely enjoy THAT game and watching the game when Rory knows who he is the whole time and them going at each other's throats.

Title: "Ethan" lmaooooooo[/center]

Shane-

[/u]
I don't know where the eSurvivor Shane went...I've honestly been pretty depressed about his performances lately. He is normally great in challenges but fails miserably at everything else haha He's a good person to have IF he can prove himself in the game which unless he steps it up now, he won't. I don't know what it is, but when he's given a good opportunity to make a move or get people together he doesn't and just sticks with what he is comfortable with which is normally an alliance that he's on the bottom of. He's not much of a leader, but a great asset to an alliance. By his performance here, not All Stars worthy, but maybe he'll surprise us soon here.[/center]

Neleh-

[/u]
To be honest, haven't kept up with her at all. But I know what she's about from other games. She plays the same way, not that that's a bad thing, but she needs the right type of people to build relationships with otherwise she's just a Jury threat and gets an early-mid merge boot. Your call on her for this game because I don't know anything she's done so far other than be nice =P[/center]

Jason-

[/u]
Oh Jesus how I wish he would have just played a bit harder and was a bit more active. As far as I'm concerned he's just a vote for Kim and overall worthless, although he is also entertaining, it's not enough to get him to All Stars. And I don't think he has any shot at winning this game or even making the finals.[/center]

[Host Brett]

My god yes@ "The Bouncer." That is brilliant. As for a title for Rob... I have no idea. I know there's something perfect somewhere. I just don't know what.

[Boo Bernis]

Faux Villain =P

[Host Brett]

Closer... hmm

[Host Lex]

We might pick eight all stars because of the way we think we might set AS up and stuff. If we do pick 8, it'll be these 7 for sure..

Kim - The Showrunner
Danielle - The Ringleader
Rob - The Tragic Hero
Rory - The Crusher
Sherea - The Bouncer
Neleh - The Doll
Ted - The Grinder


And then one of these

Phil - The Specialist
Jason - The God
Edgardo - The Douche
Bob - The Dawg
Shane - ?
Sally - ?


Depending on what Jason does for the rest of the game, I really wanna pick Phillip. Bob's a close second, but I know he's gonna play again anyway and he'll do better since the swap screwed him.

Plus Phillip is just too entertaining to not ask him to play again. And when it comes to all star picks for me...entertainment>>>>>>>placing.

[John Carroll]

How much seasons will it be till All Stars??

i agree, I think we need Philip, he was entertaining, between Philip and Bobdawg I'd choose Philip

[John Carroll]

I didnt think phillip was entertaining I liked Bob Dawg alot more let Phillip come back in a second chances season cause then there he can have his second chance cause All Stars should be a few people from eac season and not like half the cast from one season and the All Stars should be people who at least made the jury cause Phillip was the sixth one out and that is not so good so let him come back in a second chances season but dont put him in All Stars

[Boo Bernis]

I understand what you mean about Phillip, but still placing should have something to do with it. I actually was going to say what John said, bring Phillip back in another season to prove himself.
And I really don't think Ted should be in it just based on other games you've seen him in. Overall he was pretty irrelevant to this game.

And you can only have 6 from here and then in the next few seasons you can see if you can snag a few extras there. I really just don't think Ted or Phillip proved themselves enough and Bob Dawg should have no chance in HELL of getting it based off this game.

Just my input, I'd just feel you'd want deserving people, not just people who could play a character well.

[Host Lex]

The reason why we wanted exactly 8 per season is because we have a good idea for how we want AS set up.

[Host Lex]

We were considering a second chance season though, and in that case we'd take 6 from here, Kim/Danielle/Rob/Rory/Sherea/Neleh. And then people like Phillip/Ted/Bob could come back if they want to. We're not sure yet.
