Parvati: The Dark Horse- I will give Parvati this title, because despite what others might believe, she isn't as in it as people think she is. Now, she's not on the status of Babs Ri guys either, but she really is basically sliding through when she could be facing a lot of danger. I think her immunity wins, and reward wins really are giving her an edge, and making her run to the finals possible, exciting to watch, and full of the attitude she sometimes exudes that makes her interesting to be with in a game.
Ashley: The Robot- One thing I love about Ashley is her callousness. She has lied for me, and to others with the utmost ease. While Natalie has disappeared at some stints, Ashley almost always is around, processing, and emitting what she thinks will get the task she needs done, done. Furthermore, she is intelligent, she is thinking solely about her objectives, and not letting emotions, doubt, or fear hinder her even remotely.
Natalie: The Black Widow- Natalie is a little like Ashley, but she doesn't do it with as much callousness. She is the kind of person who comes off like she wouldn't do much, or like she almost doesn't care...ya know, just a little spider, whatevs. But Natalie also will get you caught in her web, and devour you. I think a lot of people felt that Natalie was in their corner, and still do, when she was far from it. Natalie is more of a slient killer, and doesn't let you be too aware of her being one until your caught, and she bites.
Barbie: The Toy- Barbie has completely be used and abused by the girls in this game, but there is nothing wrong with that. Barbie early on established to me, and presented her as such, that she wanted to come off like she was a dumb girl, and just make a shtick out of it. But really....playing that way has made people not take her seriously, and just treat her like an object. She has a serious shot at making it to the end here, because she has been very useful to the girls, and just doesn't ask many questions, doesn't fuss too much...she just goes with the flow. I think her shtick is cute though, and every all-stars needs a blonde like this one.
Misty: The Preparer- Misty to me always was looking ahead, and plotting routes based on what she felt was best to serve her game, and then went for it. I saw this by her getting into the power alliance early on, and then trying to oust Dolly over Burton because she was already breaking down who stood where, and trying to make sure she came out on top. Similarly, when she saw at merge that Barbie and I were flipping, she went along, and tried to integrate herself so she could move further. By targetting me at 7 with people who wanted me out, I really came close to leaving. She truly was plotting her courses, weighing odds, and thinking way more steps ahead than people probably realized through out the game.
For me:
Adam: The Politician- I believe that I played this game like a Politician. From the beginning I immediately went out, observed the voters, and made sure to say what I needed to to convince the majority to vote my way. I always made sure at that point to have enough people on my side, and never let the power get out of my hands. At merge, I believe I thought several steps ahead about who would be voting for me at the end of this game based on where votes stood. I completely changed my whole campaigning strategies, and who I pandered to based on that, so that at the end of the day I would put myself in the best position to get the votes I needed to win it all. I was very unapologetic, made tough decisions, and knew that if I could make it to the end, I'd have the numbers to get there, and the support likely at the end if I spoke as well as I was planning to about what I offered to the game, and why I deserved the win. I really do think that I played with much more thought than people realized, and that I had a lot more knowledge and power than people will credited me with.

Okay, I'm going to say right now the three people I am NOT picking.
One, Chase. He quit the jury, continually made stupid accusations against me, and didn't seem to take this game completely seriously.
Two, Dolly. She self-voted out yet still got 11th out of 20. Ugh.
Three, Barbie. She's given very little effort in every single department. She's on the same level as Alina was in All-Stars, and she's only making the end because she's a worthless pawn who stops writing confessionals and doesn't put much effort into challenges. Adam, you do make a good point, but Barbie has been borderline inactive. If she tried harder in challenges and she actually wrote confessionals, then we'd strongly consider her based on the strategy. But right now, she strikes me as Alina, only with the "dumb blonde" act instead of random outbursts of drunkenness. She's nowhere near as entertaining.
So that leaves up to 6 spots for the remaining 9. Stay tuned to find out who!

I totes get ya, I just really like Andrea a lot as a person too, and would've felt mean not putting her...the shtick is cute enough, I had no idea that she has completely fizzled in the confessionals department.

Oh, Peter's awesome. But... what the hell happened to him in this game? It's like he's not even trying... this is SO unlike him. I hope me calling him out at Tribal for not making parchments will get him to wake the fuck up  Chad... sorry to see you here. Although I expected it... 1) What do you think led up to your departure? 2) Do you think you played your HII correctly? Why or why not? 3) With you making it so close to the end, do you think you did anything that ensured you didn't make the finals? What would you do different? 4) Anyone you really want to win? Anyone you want to lose? 5) Who would you name to All-Stars? |

Here's who I think should be all stars- 1. Parvati - By participating in all challenges and winning most of them, it shows her dedication. She also a social bird and does seem like she's in control. 2. Ashley - She's like a mini Parvati to me. 3. Burton - For the time that he's in, I think he's played a great game until we all decided to pick off his people one by one. Had he made merge, he would've been a force to be reckon with. 4. Misty - I pretty much agree with Adam. 5. Adam/Tom/Amber (I would've included Natalie, but I found out who she is and she's already an all star under a different character). I think I should be deemed as all star because I've given it 110% in the challenges, I've written you lengthy confessionals with pictures  I was pretty much suppose to be gone like first and instead made jury. And I was robbed! because everyone hated me and thinks I'm a bitch, ie, my karma.  I honestly hate sucking up to myself, I like to read other peoples opinions on why I deserve to be. lol |

1. Me being clueless about the counter alliance and always being on the wrong side of the vote.
2. Clearly not, but I suck at knowing when to play idols which is why I tried so hard to win Write Your Own. But I wasn't about to risk being vulnerable for two votes, so playing it wasn't even a question in my mind at the time.
3. Honestly no, I just think these girls were set on getting rid of me for whatever reason. I tried to make last minute pleas but I guess they weren't appealing enough even though I offered up as much as I possibly could.
4. The only person I want to win is Parvati.
5. This is gonna be super bias but idc. Parvati, Tom, Misty, Amber, and myself.

I think Parvati has played this game very well to be likable, strong, and interesting. But I don't fully believe she has very much played in a way to actually have control. She would have been gone earlier if she hasn't won the immunities she has, for more reasons than just being a jury threat.

I don't know how the girls are thinking now to be honest. I think Natalie and Ashley both could easily think that the other will simply pander votes from their same "target audience" of voters. I think people are set on Parvati to win this game for the most part in here, and they probably know that is and was going to be the case, (which good job on Ashley choosing epic fighter in challenges Barbie to compete to get Parvati out as they need).
I think that Natalie and Ashley though knowing their votes will be split amongst them, or need to be argued away from Parvati, and THAN from each other, where as Barbie to me, might have been an easier road for both girls to deal with...I think they will just keep true to each other.
