Star Rankings - Round 1

[KC]

Star Rankings are URTV's way of ranking the players. You can see how star rankings work by reading this thread.

These are for fun and are not required. Do them if you feel like doing them. Watch me make silly observations if you don't.

Comments: I think Andii is playing a solid game, but she's in a bad role on a bad tribe. She essentially had to pick sides in this Tribal Council due to her double vote causing the tiebreaker. So I'd imagine on top of her already threatening status that people were observing, she's made even more enemies. If she forms a good, solid alliance with people she can trust, she'll be fine to take down the sides.

Comments: I've never seen him be a power player from the start. Alex is always one of those guys that gets dangerous in the later stages. Right now, I think he's fine. He's sort of just coasting, making friends where needed. And although he was one of the people who voted in the minority, he has allies in the majority so he shouldn't be in too much trouble over it.

Comments: Cody's biggest problem right now is that he's relying too much on his alias, which is making him extremely boring to other people in the game. He's become a fucking inside joke with half the cast for christ's sakes. I understand why he does this because people target him for being who he is, but this is taking it to the extreme. Other than that, he does have some valid points in his confessional (although very exaggerated) and may have a shot at doing well in this game... if he comes out of his shell and just be himself.

Comments: Has really surprised me. I thought she'd be someone that was kind of just there, but she's put herself into a firm power position and is part of the majority. Problem is, she's got a lot of targets on her back from people who want to rebel.

Chad

Comments: Somehow he's worked himself into a position where he can work both sides. He'll be in trouble when he has to choose sides... but he doesn't have to worry about that right now. He's golden at the moment and probably one of the safest males.

Comments: In the minority right now and has been the opposite side of the vote in three situations already (Mother voting, Big sis voting and Tribal voting). However, does have a strong relationship with Tyson apparently which could be very useful should she survive to tribe swap.

Comments: Right now, I'd say Lorii is the favorite. She's set up nicely and has a great outlook on the game. I absolutely love how every alliance she's formed so far, she's already thinking about when to backstab them.

Comments: If she wants to be a bitchy character, fine. If she wants to be a bitchy character as an excuse to be bitchy to me, this twat is going to be toothless soon. Nonetheless, she's already got into a public argument and has had quite a bit of heat on her. I don't see her being long for this game.

Comments: Everytime I see him, he's bitching about the social game. I hate the social game too, but in the time he's been complaining about it, he would have gotten himself into a decent position. He's on the outs. His only option right now is promising someone a vote in hopes they spare him.

Comments: He gets props for giving himself a few extra weeks. I also think it's cool he's still talking with the women and his little alliance with Kelly could prove to be useful. Other than that, I don't think anyone wants to take him for the long haul and many people see him as a sheep.

Comments: She's my favorite from the girls right now, has by far the best potential to go far. She's got a lot of solid alliances and most of them are on the guy's side. The little sister role couldn't have worked out any more perfect for her.

Comments: He was looking good, this vote has put him in an awkward position right now. He's got a lot of targets on him and he could very well be going home soon if he doesn't do damage control fast. He needs to put the personal grudges aside and play with his mind.

Comments: He needs to start logging onto his alias or link his accounts. Like Cody, trying to prevent his alias from coming out may fuck him over in the end. It's a shame because his confessionals have been fantastic and he seems like a very, very good player.

Comments: Jack is in sort of a "wait and see" spot. He's quietly trying to form the rebellion to take out Tyson, but he wants Chad in it... and Chad is with Tyson. This could be a complete mess or could work out beautifully depending on how people feel.

Comments: He was one of the first people to bring the idea of a rebellion up. But, nobody seems to expect anything because the people he wants to take out wants him in their alliance! Add this to his good connections on women, Leif Garrett is looking pretty good for this game right now.

Tyson

Comments: He's not handling his power that well. He is trying to be fair, but at the same time, he is coming off as a little selfish. Keeping money to himself does not make him look good, nor does not telling anyone that he had the option to distribute his $1000 out. That said, he has Tyson nailed down perfectly and is an all round great character. I hope he sticks around. While he doesn't look great, he's by no means a for-sure prejury boot. He can easily be here for the long haul.

Comments: She has a very OTT presence for round one. It may have set her up well, but she has already made herself a pretty big target. If she keeps up her activity, she should coast until a swap. If the swap goes through, that is when she'll be at her most vulnerable.

Andrea

Comments: A rather bland start for Andrea. I know she has the chops to make waves, but at this point, I see her coasting on her friendship with Alexis. She isn't in immediate danger and will probably be fine despite voting in minority round one.

Brandon

Comments: Not the best start from Brandon, but knowing who he is, he usually emerges later on into a more powerful player. He is starting kind of pretty rough...which he did in my game, but he changed things around there to become a power player and I can see him doing it here in time. Hopefully he can avoid the chopping block if the men go to Tribal Council soon.

Comments: She was the swing vote, pretty much. She committed to both sides and ended up choosing one, probably leaving the others annoyed with her. It seems she agreed to voting two ways, and that could catch up with her. I don't see her winning this game at all, but based off her activity, I'd like to see her stick around.

Chad

Comments: He is sitting in a pretty secure spot on the men's tribe right now it seems. He also has formed good relationships with people, so he is doing good in the alliance department. I think he'll go pretty far if he keeps up this play style.

Comments: Dreamz has a boat load of alliances. He has a fun personality and an active diary room. He is a host's dream player. The only issue I see for Dreamz right now is if his alliance's get exposed. He seems to have claws in all areas of the tribe.

Comments: Okay if this is indeed Rose, then the bitching about the social game thing makes perfect sense. That being said - I haven't seen him perform good in a game in ages. I don't even think his BFF Richard can keep him around. He seems to hate socializing so much that he just puts it off until its way to late.

Comments: He is very lucky he has that child immunity, otherwise he would be a for sure Pre-jury boot in my eyes. I do like his alliance with Kelly, as it was rather smart. He is easily pissed off by people for petty reasons and it's off putting.

Comments: I think she is in the best spot in the game. She is golden with the immunity and has gotten herself in the "majority" of the women. In addition to that, she has several alliances with some men. She is sitting verrrrry pretty. Which is great, because she is very rootable.

Comments: I agree with KC about him needing to get rid of his personal grudges. It really clouds his judgement and ruins his potential. It also makes him rather un-rootable. He is probably in the most dangerous spot on the women's tribe right now...with Alexis wanting him out next? He might have some hope with his alliance to Kelly.

Comments: I thought she was as good as gone and am very happy to see her stick around. Now that she landed on the majority side of the vote, she may have some life in the game. I really don't see her standing a chance in hell at winning this game though...despite how good of a player she can be. She already had 5 people vote for her and that has awoken her sassy side. That's what is going to make people target her. Hope she proves me wrong!

Comments: She saved her ally this week and would definitely be a candidate for a player of the round type of award. She showed her influence was strong. Her main enemy here is her reputation.....and the fact she isn't alias. She has won a lot of games recently and people know how big of a challenge threat she is. That will without a doubt put a target on her.

Comments: Already people want to over throw him. He had to make a really bad first impression on quite a few people...and that is not going to go away. He might be kept around because he has a very strong presence....and is captain...so he better hope the "revolt" cools.
