All-Starz 8: Cast Analysis
The Villains
Eminemxxx
Survivor Placements: Malaysia: 6th / 32 - Rock Draw Greek Isles: 3rd / 21 - Lost 2-4-4 Jury Vote Kyushu: 10th / 24 - Voted out 4-1 by Rob, Xbro, Mike, and Thomas Barbados: 11th / 18 - Voted out 3-2 by Bloo, Neon, and Moon Eminemxxx is easily the most hated person in the group. No contest. Horrible social game. However, he makes up for it with a decent physical and mental game. He's beaten obbies faster than ClassicCrusher7. He's also fearless, and has no problem voting for the biggest threat in the competition, even if nobody else is ready to make that move. If he can finally rally people to vote with him and avoid annoying everyone to death, he could be a serious contender this season. |
llConnorll
Survivor Placements: Bali: 8th / 21 - Voted out 3-2 revote against Ray India: 2nd / 16 - Lost 3-4 Jury Vote Japan: 5th / 17 - Voted out 3-1 by Rad, Grander, and Tony Greek Isles: 21st / 21 - Voted out 2-0 revote against Cool Nauru: Placed 2nd / 16 - Lost 3-4 Jury Vote llConnorll is a very polarizing character. He tends to be overdramatic and easily pisses people off, which caused his demise in Greek Isles. However, he has a strong social game, and is not afraid to target big targets, and is willing to backstab an ally if they're a threat to win. If he can mend bridges and keep his cool, he can come out top as the bloodiest winner ever. |
KettleTheStick
Survivor Placements: Tonga: 20th / 20 - Voted out 3-1 Kyushu: 17th / 24 - Voted out 3-0 by Short, Moon, and Minty Barbados: 1st / 18 - Won 6-3 Jury Vote KettleTheStick can be very bipolar. At times, he's silent and lets others soak up the drama, keeping the attention off of himself. Other times, he can be loud and obnoxious, annoying his tribemates with his constant gloating. He doesn't care for a season he feels he has no chance of winning and is willing to quit if things are going south for him. However, when he has potential, his game goes into overdrive. He'll win challenge after challenge, and blindside anyone and everyone he can. If he can work on his timing and avoid bragging, he could win twice in a row. |
BostonRobMariano
Survivor Placements: Japan: 11th / 17 - Voted out 5-2 by Tony, Time, Hanad, Grxm, and Phorix Greek Isles: 7th / 21 - Voted out 1-0 by Mike Nauru: 16th / 16 - Voted out 4-3 by Witch, Connor, Caz, and Cool Kyushu: 1st / 24 - Won 7-2 Jury Vote BostonRobMariano is the definition of a tryhard. He constantly over-analyses the season and comes up with the most convoluted plan to ensure his victory, or at the minimum safety. Though he creates many alliances, he will never forgive someone who breaks their word, and will keep his loyal allies safe for as long as he can. However, with hardly anyone who would be willing to give up their game for BostonRobMariano again, he's gonna need to make a lot of deals and allies fast, and win many immunities, if he wants to even make it past the first few votes. |
IIMoonIightII
Survivor Placements: Tonga: 6th / 20 - Voted out 4-0 by Big, DrElements, TurtIy, and WhirI Bali: 12th / 21 - Auto-Eliminated for Inactivity Kyushu: 8th / 24 - Voted out 3-2 by Rob and Mike Barbados: 9th / 18 - Voted out 4-2 revote by Kettle, Bloo, Classic, and Cool IIMoonIightII is a very brave player. From the very beginning he will target the people that need to go and is never too scared to play the game. However, he tends to trust the wrong people, or his allies are too scared to follow through with the moves that need to be made, thus causing his eventual demise. While he's playing with people ready to make moves, he could play too boldly and get blindsided early on. He just needs to align with the right people and the game is his. |
TrucuIentus
Survivor Placements: Easter Island: 4th / 15 - Lost Tiebreaker to Phorix Bermuda: 1st / 19 - Won 6-2 Jury Revote India: 8th / 16 - Voted out 2-1 Japan: 8th / 17 - Voted out 4-1-1 by Rad, Tony, Connor, and Time Greek Isles: 18th / 21 - Voted out 4-1 by Time, Tony, Grander, and Hanad TrucuIentus is the definition of a Survivor villain. He backstabs for the sake of backstabbing, and will lie without hesitation. He can also be very manipulative, easily gaining support for any move he wants to make. Having not played in a while, not many players remember his game, or even his name, giving him the opportunity to start fresh, or blindside his competitors and show them why he won All-Starz 6. A true wildcard this season, anything can happen with him around. |
Phorix
Survivor Placements: Malaysia: 1st / 32 - Won 5-3-1 Jury Vote Easter Island: 2nd / 15 - Lost 3-5 Jury Vote Bermuda: 15th / 19 - Voted out 4-1 revote Bali: 12th / 21 - Tribe Conquered Japan: 9th / 17 - Voted out 3-2-1 by Rad, Connor, and Time Greek Isles: 20th / 21 - Voted out 5-0 by Rob, Bloo, Cool, Evan, and Peace Phorix is essentially a male version of Michaela Bradshaw. He's naturally sassy and easily rubs his tribemates the wrong way. However, he plays insanely strategically, and performs great in challenges, though he doesn't show it with his challenge wins. If he can work on his social game and avoid outcasting potential allies, he could maneuver his way straight to his third Finale seat. |
ThunderBird667
Survivor Placements: Tonga: 14th / 20 - Voted out 3-0 India: 13th / 16 - Voted out 2-0 revote Nauru: 9th / 16 - Voted out 4-3-1 by Witch, Connor, Caz, and Grxnde ThunderBird667 doesn't have the best social game, and is quick to outcast people for aligning with people he doesn't like. However, he's a natural leader, and is quick to control, or at least lead his tribe to success. He performs great in challenges, and can be very smart about how he plays. As long as he keeps his allies in check and doesn't make himself an early target, he may finally catch a lucky break and lead his way straight to the Finale. It's his game to win or lose. |
Mickyboomy
Survivor Placements: Nauru: 13th / 16 - Death Vote Mickyboomy is one of the few returnees to only play once, and even though he was eliminated third, he left a lasting impression during his season. He's constantly thinking about the jury votes, and is willing to backstab allies in order to open doors with people who wanted that ally out, putting himself in a better position overall. While he was screwed over by a mistake and a tiebreaker twist last time, he's come back with a brand new opportunity to win. I don't have any advice for him except to just play the best way he knows how to, and he'll surely go far. |
Timewarpagain
Survivor Placements: Malaysia: 5th / 32 - Voted out 4-1 by Phorix, Mike, B34STS, and Cool Bermuda: 11th / 19 - Voted out 6-1 Bali: 10th / 21 - Voted out 5-3 revote Japan: 6th / 17 - Voted out 3-2 by Rad, Grander, and Tony Greek Isles: 4th / 21 - Death Vote Kyushu: 7th / 24 - Idoled out 3-0 by Rob, Xbro, and Mike Timewarpagain is one of the oldest Survivor veterans in the group. However, he's still never won any of my Survivors. He typically becomes the leader of an alliance and rallies the troops to take out the opposing alliances. However, he tends to backstab his allies if it's to save himself or earn some credit for the Jury vote. If Timewarpagain can work on his timing and keep himself in a majority vote, he could control the entire game and work his way right into the Finale. |
Losingdogs
Survivor Placements: South Africa: 7th / 16 - Voted out 3-0 by Bright, Cato, and Acerrs Malaysia: 15th / 21 - Voted out 4-0 Bermuda: 14th / 19 - Voted out 2-1-1 Japan: 1st / 17 - Won 4-2-2 Jury Vote Greek Isles: 11th / 21 - Voted out 5-4 revote by Brandon, Time, Yellow, Rob, and Bloo Nauru: 6th / 16 - Voted out 3-0 revote by Connor, Caz, and Grxnde Losingdogs is the ultimate All-Star, in that he's competed in every single season. His best placement? First merge boot. Yikes. Losingdogs is an extremely over-analytical player. Sometimes he'll spend so much time strategizing he'll miss out on his golden opportunity to take over. He's a decent physical player, but just forgets to do the simplest of actions: socializing. If he can just give people a reason not to waste a vote on him, and make moves, he'll definitely go far. |
Cazology
Survivor Placements: Bali: 21st / 21 - Voted out 4-1 Nauru: 3rd / 16 - Voted out 1-0 by Connor Kyushu: 13th / 24 - Voted out 3-0 revote by Mike, Short, and Time. Cazology is a physical beast. Whether his life depends on it or not, he can win any challenge. His downfall comes in that he isn't very smart, and often relies on someone more level-headed to keep him in check. His social game is also iffy, as he can easily blow up his game and outcast several key votes in a second. If he wants to succeed in this game, he'll need to calm himself and find tight allies who can help steer him in the right direction. Otherwise, gotta win the immunity. |
MikeTheMagnific
Survivor Placements: Malaysia: 2nd / 32 - Lost 3-5-1 Jury Vote Bermuda: 5th / 19 - Voted out 2-0 revote by Luis and Raven Bali: 3rd / 21 - Lost 1-5-3 Jury Vote India: 1st / 16 - Won 4-3 Jury Vote Greek Isles: 2nd / 21 - Lost 5-6 Jury Revote Kyushu: 3rd / 24 - Quit MikeTheMagnific has zero problem making it to the Finale... He's done it five times! The one thing he lacks, though, is respect. Juries just don't like him, whether it be his attitude, his performance, or controversy. Even the season he won, the jury hated him for how he cheated. But he was still invited back for a reason, and it's because he has something to prove. It's time for him to prove he can play a fair game and win over a jury's respect. Most importantly, he has to prove he won't play like a coward. If he can't do either of those, he will not win ever again. |
