Okay I always used to SUCK at PWing… lose interest ½ through first round because I get behind! But this season I am constantly refreshing the board for new posts! Something about this BvW format has me super interested. Probably since it feels as though I basically just played BvW in Jordan
Loving 90% of this cast so far! Some people are easy to give shade to, but no one is making me hate them yet. I am all caught up in everyone’s confessionals right now so let’s go down the line!
Andrew & Rosie
Him and Rosie are SO great together and they have stuck out for me from the first millisecond of this game. I didn’t even know they were each others loved ones and yet… I picked them both for my fantasy team. Fate <3 Their communication seems on point and they are taking this game on together!
Andrew: He is a frat bro which is someone you don’t see a whole lot of in org world. He has a slight sense of humor that isn’t too much to handle which makes you like to listen to him, knows the strategy of survivor well, and seems to have a hidden hipster side which Rosie clued us in on. All in all, loving the personality. Game wise, he definitely has a good idea of what is going on and who is with who. He worried me when he was scared to make a move since the first boot was public vote… but he is coming around. He has formed decent bonds/relationships with people and is being observant. He says he is skeptical of Hassan and I would LOVE to see Andrew go after him at one point. But for now he is doing a great job of being friendly and sociable… just what you need to do in these early stages.
Rosie: Like the majority of people here I am definitely lovinggggg Rosie! Girl is so cute and funny. Her making fun of Andrew whenever she can is giving me life! Super excited for her to start shaping into a game player once she gets a grasp on the game more. But she is in good with Chris right now which I LOVE. She is going to be underestimated and I think will stick around a long while since she is enjoyable and seems non-threatening. But Rosie, I sooooo can’t wait till you are the ultimate threat to win this game!
Arielle & Chris
YESSS. The two of them are so shady together! Chris shading Arielle, Arielle shading Chris. I am here for it! Really liking the dynamic between these two. I hope they continue to throw shade in a loving way. And Arielle’s intro video when she was asked how she met Chris: “um… I don’t know how to answer this. He is my uncle. I don’t know” and then Chris’s response: “I held my niece for the first time and she gave me the shadiest side eye of all time. Then smiled.” Love it
Arielle: She is so adorable. Her confessionals are simple and sweet and she is ready to play this game! Making moves to get with Mikey/Carina is great and I really like it! I hope she doesn’t get stuck in just one alliance though and keeps her options open. I haven’t heard much about her from anyone else’s confesssionals so I just wonder if she is branching out enough. But she is still learning and I think she will also come off as non-threatening and slowly become a strong presence in this game.
Chris: He made an 8 minute confessional and I couldn’t give a shit how long it is! Love listening to him talk. SOO smart from what I watched so far. He is very observant and playing smart by not being super vocal and laying low. He has the ability to be a huge personality but right now, his strategy is really great imo. I want him to KILL this season so bad. I never knew I could like someone so quickly! If he can ride with Arielle’s lil group (mike/carina) and subtly build his own relationships on the side (like with Rosie)… He will go FAR. Also loving his frustration with Arielle ALREADY! He wants her to do well and it is so cute! This is great.
Carina & Mikey
They are freaking underestimated! Here I see the two of them, little youngins, so sweet and cute… LOL jk they are out for BLOOD. I am SHOCKED how well they are forming bonds and alliances! The two of them together are pretty funny and the way they innocently explain stuff in their confessional is great. Like Carina was SHOCKED when Mikey “Lied through his teeth.” By the end of this game, I have a feeling they will both be A++ liars.
Carina: Such a cutie. She definitely is excited to have to opportunity to make bonds and talk to people. I hope she will be a social threat like she claims she will be. I would be living if this 14 year old girl got everyone secretly wrapped around her finger because everyone likes her! Has a good bond with Hassan and Arielle so far which is great! Hassan is going to think he can use her and manipulate her but please Carina, let that be the other way around and manipulate Hassan!
Mikey: Out of the duo I am definitely more nervous for him. I think he WILL have a LOT of fun lying to people since apparently he is so quick to do it! I don’t want him to go out early but I think in this group of people, if he doesn’t make the right bonds… he will be out the door. But I remember someone saying they were close to Mikey I just can’t remember who! So I hope I am wrong and he is doing work in the social department like his sister.I saw Shane is coming for him now after the vote!
Dan & Maranda
This duo is probably one of my least favorites. Not sure what it is about them but they just don’t have a huge presence in this season yet for me. I think it’s because so far a lot of their strategy is based off past relationships (O’henry, constance, scarola, shane) and that bores me. I want something fresh! I like them, but forget they are there :X
Dan: I think he will be a huuuuge voice this season. He is holding back but I can tell if something doesn’t go his way… he is not gunna have it! I like watching people like him and am interested if he can keep his opinions to himself in order to benefit him AND maranda. Because he needs to know, what he says and does… is going to effect Maranda too!
Maranda: So far I have been bored by her confessionals :X Want her to have some depth to her game which I am not seeing so far. Definitely a nice woman but I just need MORE! More passion! I don’t have much to say
O’henry and her alliance possible though? OH also Shane ONLY trusts maranda. So that is good for her.
Davis & Tierra
Cannot believe they are on my screen! They are hilarious. I loved in Jordan when they would bicker in the back of the skype call and it was always so funny. I love both their laid back personalities and their banter with each other. Excited to see them in this season for sure.
Davis: oh Davis. He seems to be in a super great spot right now which I was surprised about! He is playing is smooth and lowkey while still pretty much controlling shit with Tierra. It is really impressive. I want him to keep under the radar building bonds and not become a big threat. With people surrounding him like Hassan, Scarola, and even Trevor… I think he will be good.
Tierra: I’ve heard about Tierra for MONTHS and never really got to talk to her/see her much. So seeing her this season has me excited! Her first confessional was great and proves why she is so good in these games. She has her pack of boys surrounding her (Hassan, Davis, Scarola, Trevor) and I am here for it! I REALLY want to see a Rosie/Tierra alliance this season so I HOPE TO GOD this happens.
Eddie & Josh
I don’t know much about either of them besides what I saw in their intro videos. I got a good vibe from them in their videos but WHERE ARE THEY NOW?!?
Eddie: Out of the 2 brothers, he is my favorite. Seems funny, down to earth, and the type that can get along with anyone. I see him being an uplifting personality in the game and one that doesn’t come off as threatening. See him making merge honestly. Too bold to say? Probably haha. I just think this game will e centered on getting THREATS out. Not people like Eddie who you kind of forget exist… but they are likeable and so make it far
Josh: Show up!! Eddie needs you
but if you don’t show up… I really wouldn’t be that heartbroken at this point.
Hassan & Leblanc
This duo has me crying. They both seem like SUCH little smart asses. I am so excited for them. Everything that comes out of their mouths makes me laugh! I want to see more of an interaction between the two because I think they would be funnier together.
Hassan: OMG I don’t even know where to start. I never talked to him much before the game yet he always had a weird obsession with me. With pretty much EVERYONE in the community if we are being real. He came off as a dick so seeing him play now is pretty great. I definitely see his sense of humor now and really like it. He does have serial killer vibes still but he is so the rootable villain in this game right now. I would hate to see him leave early, yet it would be amaaaazing to watch. From his fucking accent, to his sword and numchucks… guy has an ego and if that was smashed I wouldn’t be too upset. That’d be great TV
He is rubbing some people the wrong way and people are skeptical of him. I am not shocked since he is a little too vocal in the facebook group and that always worries people!
Leblanc: He just posted his first confessional and it is AMAZING. I was laughing the entire time. He is joking and having fun with it while at the same time sassing every single person in this game. Definitely my type of person! Can’t wait to see more from him. He says Hassan doesn’t even TALK to him or fill him in! LOL and his closest ally is Rosie right now! YESSSS ROSIE GIRL!
Joanne & Trevor
This couple is one I’ve known for a few years now! They both have such different personalities and opinions so them playing TOGETHER is going to be AMAZING. Just wait and see! Trevor already hinting at the struggles of being in a relationship in his confessional! I can’t wait to see their little fights!
Joanne: This girl is SO damn sweet. In every game she has played she has always remained sweet! IDK HOW SHE DOES IT! I am so impressed. However, her hating Jennifer has got me lmao! Says Jennifer doesn’t seem to like her… yet Jennifer in her confessional says Jo is one of her fav people. Jo’s biggest problem is going to be getting over the mentality that people don’t like her. I do the same thing… I assume people don’t like me yet… in reality they really do! People saying she has a loud mouth and doesn’t shut up already though. Hope that doesn’t affect things too much for her! Want to see her go far.
Trevor: Trevor is funny. His confessionals are great. Him wanting to align with couples is smart too. A good strategy for him since he definitely gets along better with bros such as davis, Andrew, ect. I can see him being tight with them. I like listening to him and am excited to see him talk about Jo more in his confessionals and how this will impact their marriage!
Mary Beth & Scarola
Bleh. Something about them… bleh. Lol so rude of me. I am not digging them at all. I watched their intro videos and was bored… I really think I have a thing against common ORG people! I find them boring at first.
Mary Beth: Absolutely no idea what you are up to in the game. 0 confessionals so far so don’t have much to say ☹
Scarola: I don’t find myself liking him particularly (just not feeling it) but so far he is a huge presence in the game. He is constantly mentioned by other players and seemed to be on top of alliances. His issue is control from what I have gathered. He needs to learn to give up some control and not make himself the HBIC… since he will be targeted ASAP!
O’henry & TY
WHAT a pair. They aren’t my favorite but they are both SO original and crazy in their own way that I find myself a fan! I hope they are having fun together and so far really enjoying both of them.
O’Henry: His confessionals are pretty funny. His first confessional where he thought constance had a group of people coming for him… LOL very oblivious. Yet the way he ended it “call CNN, call NBC… get everyone down here to film constance getting voted out!” amazing. Not sure where he stands with people. He realizes that TY is getting him more friends! Being associated with Ty is helping his game and I love it! I don’t think he will get very far in this game unfortunately due to his out of this world personality, but I want him to prove me wrong.
TY: PARTYMAN. Talk of the game the first night! Love how quickly he got people to like him. His intro video had me scratching my head but I think it was just because I knew he was iconic but I just wasn’t sure why. Now I know. I think he is going to make it far! Can’t see him being part of a controlling alliance but instead being a side number for people. Which I think is going to get him super far. Excited to watch.
The Lonely People:
Shane: Oh shane. I already shaded him for his peeing confessional! I think he hates me lol! Oh well at least I am on the other side of the game
He is very OTT. Very emotional. Outspoken. Riled up. Not sure if that is normal for him or if it is just since Sydney was voted out, but he needs to mellow out! His confessionals are long… but I like the way he talks and speaks his mind. He rambles his thoughts which are often shady and funny. Really only trusts Maranda right now so if they get on a tribe together (likely since he is a captain)… I honestly think they will be boot #3 and 4. Lol. He is just TOO pissed off and it is only day 2! Just his revenge mentality might be too obvious and get him sent packing early.
Jennifer: I am losing steam with this post lol! Jennifer gave me LIFE when she was determined to stay above constance. Hate that she suffered for being related to constance, but it is also the reason I think she will excel now! She will not be seen as a threat and she will make merge. Mark. My. Words. As long as her tribe doesn’t lose consistently in the pre-merge rounds
Don’t think she will be a power player, but she will be here.
