Cast & Season thoughts:

16th - Mira - Sad to see her go first, but no major thoughts on her unfortunately.

15th - Maria - Surprised that she was the first boot of all people on such a drama filled tribe, sad to see her go so early.

14th - Angelo - He seemed to be a target from day one. It was either him or Pietro due to their ongoing drama. He was entertaining though.

13th - Laurie - Seems like her attitude and personality got to the rest of the tribe. She would’ve made it further if her allies didn’t turn on her. Great entertainment though!

12th - Yovana - Her rivalry with Gillian cost her the game - Gillian had too many allies around her. Yovana was fun to watch and had a lot of potential.

11th - Pietro - He was very entertaining and started fights with almost everyone on his tribe. He would have made it further if not for the fact that Kucha Tribe was unable to win a challenge. Surprised he made it as far as he did anyway, considering how many tribal councils he went to with no allies having started fights with almost everyone.

10th - Rose - She was a fun character, but she had no connections at all. Her own tribe turned on her the second they had the chance.

9th - Gillian - extremely bummed about this one! She was controlling her tribe all through the pre-merge and she had quite a shot in the merge despite being in the minority. She was entertaining and quite a tyrant as she had a lot of influence yet she bullied half of her tribe. Sad to see her game end this way.

8th - Jason ‘JP’ - I really enjoyed his character, very entertaining and great at challenges. I wish he had bonded with his tribe a little more, but he provided entertainment and fights nevertheless. It was a hard road to the end for him going against Marisa and her multiple alliances, he should’ve tried to work with the original Kucha while he had the chance. Would love to see him back.

7th - Jackson - He was a really fun guy, sadly he was majorly outplayed by his former tribe members and even his alliance with Rick couldn’t save him, as Rick was left out of the loop too in this vote.

6th - Nancy - Despite the boys alliance Rick and Kurt still voted with her and stayed loyal to her. Marisa was the one who turned on her in the end, as we have seen her do before. Nancy was a nice character with a great social game and it was sad to see her leave.

5th - Rick - He had probably one of the best social games this season, he made lots of connections with almost everyone on the merged tribe. I think Matt, Rylin and Kurt were scared of his social game and had to take the chance to get him out when they could. Surprisingly, Marisa actually stayed loyal to him which she doesn’t seem to do often. Rick had a big shot to win if he made it to the f2 in my opinion.

4th - Kurt - He played a great game and he manoeuvred the merged tribe very well. Going to the final 4 with Marisa on one side and Matt and Rylin who were very close on the other was a mistake on his part, if he kept Rick however, he would probably lose to him too due to Rick's social game. Kurt’s biggest chance to win was taking Nancy to the end, which he did try to do but she sadly ended up going home in the tiebreaker.

3rd - Marisa - Marisa played a great game!! Her alliance management was very chaotic and definitely needed some work, but she still managed to put herself into a great position going into the merge. She took out most of the threats and when she started to catch heat she kept winning immunity week after week. She really needed the final immunity though and that was her downfall. She should’ve positioned herself better in the end game. Great player with ups and downs, lots of strengths and flaws that can be improved upon.

2nd - Rylin - I was very impressed with Rylin. He came into the merge at a major disadvantage and after Gillian’s medevac I thought he was gone for sure. His social game was good, unfortunately not as good as Matt’s which was the reason why he lost. I am very happy with how well he did, but it was apparent that he wasn’t going to beat either Matt or Marisa in the final 3.

Winner - Matt - Very impressed with his game, especially after Gillian’s departure. He made it through the Kucha tribe losing multiple times and then he was part of getting rid of all of the major threats in the merge - especially Rick, Kurt and Marisa. His social game was great and we saw him form relationships with multiple of the jury members. I was surprised with how well he did but I am happy that he won because he deserved to.
