Comments: I think Megan had a strong game and made it much further than what I predicted. There were many times where she looked to be a major target and ended up slipping through. She was good at certain competitions, but not that great when it came to clutch victories which did hurt her a few times. I think a big problem with Megan was her influence. She was influenced to make some questionable decisions and also used her two HOH runs to take out two people I would consider minimal threats in Kaysar and George. If she used those HOHs to take out some of the bigger guns, the game may have been much different for her. Nonetheless, she will go down as having one of the most lovable personalities in URTV along with a lovable alliance with Amy.

Comments: Certainly not the best game for Alex. He was one of my pre-game favorites and I was hoping he'd step up in this game. Considering who was in it, I think it's possible he could have been a strong player had he not gotten sick and lost track in the first few weeks. It's disappointing, but I give him props about being a good sport about this game.

Comments: Shir played a great game. She had many alliances, influenced a lot of big boots, was extremely active and had a great personality from start to finish. The only flaw in Shir's game was playing too much for Cody and playing way too safe at times. Her playing safe ultimately caught up with her and people suspected what she was doing. I also think she probably should ahve thrown Cody under a bit the week James put her up as she almost certainly would have stayed over him. I know she's a personal player at times, but in the context of the game, it would have been huge for her.

Comments: I think Erika played a very underrated game. A lot of people thinks he floated and did minimal work. Compared to this fantastic cast, it may appear like that, but she was still a very strong competitor. I don't know if it was intentional on her part or not, but her sarcrificing five eviction votes in the pre-jury was HUGE for her and prety much guaranteed her jury since it completely left her out of the eviction drama, which the pre-jury was all about. The problem with that is that I don't think she really maintained alliances or bonds within that period of time, which made it a great scramble once she was eligable to vote again. In the jury portion of the game, she kept her allies relatively thin and played a more honest game. I liked her take no bullshit attitude towards the end and not going down without a fight. Though I still scratch my head at her not campaigning when she was up against Amy as that was ultimately the reason she left over Amy.

Comments: Cody came out of the gate with a very strong play. It was obvious he was in it to win it since Day 1. His strong alliances with pretty much everyone was well disguised and pretty much catapulted him to the jury. And that's where it started to fall apart. A problem with Cody's jury game was his cockiness and being way too naive about certain aspects. I don't know if he was purposely cocky to try to hype himself up or what, but if he seriously thought he was set up as well as he said he was during certain situations in the game, he was out of his mind. In a game with 20 people, you can only be aligned with everyone for so long. This was ultimately his downfall.

Comments: Jee played the most surpriing game this season. I called him being a dark horse, however, due to the amount of big personalities in this game. Jee was able to make smart alliances and made right decisions at the right time. Considering this guy's past, it's remarkable how well he did in the social aspect, which is usually his weak point. He did what was best for him, and that was always a flaw in his previous games. He kept that attitude all the way to the end and created quite the underdog story about himself. His downfall was coming off as a huge threat and not winning that clutch veto, really.

Comments: I labeled James as someone who could be that "hero" character of the season, someone who stands up for what is right and taking out the shady people. He certainly tried to live up to that reputation by going after the likes of Cody constantly. However, he did have a few holes in his game and made some questionable decisions throughout the season. Nonetheless, he remained a good sport about everything that happened to him and probably the best part of his game - kept a good head on his shoulders. He didn't freak out or rant against his enemies. When people did him wrong, he was upset, but didn't burn bridges. And in some cases, he used that to really help himself in the game. His secret alliance with Cody is one of the best examples of this. I don't think he could have won against Andii or Lorii, but he still played a very respectable game and made it much further than I think anyone predicted.

Comments: I think Andii played a very, very strong game and people underrate her way too much. She is nowhere near "floater" status. The only time I think influence got to her was during the George/Danielle vote, but other than that, she did was best for her. In the pre-jury portion she was set up well and had quite a few alliances. I think her secret alliance with Corey had a lot of potential had he not left the week he did. In the jury stage, things started to fall apart with allies leaving left and right. But I think that changed when she really stood up for herself and took out Shir. Shir can babble on about how she made a bad move but the bottom line is, Shir & Cody would be in the final five and serious contenders for the final two had they got to that point. As we seen with Cass & Cody, you can't let a duo get that far in the game and Andii really made a hard to make decision, but the right call. Through the next few weeks, she solidfied herself in the game with an amazing secret alliance with Nakomis, a final two with Jee, and an agreement with James. She's been guarenteed final two ever since final six, I think. And that's not being a floater, she worked to get those.

Comments: I heard urban legends about Lorii before this game and people talking about how awesome she was. I'd say we'd wait and see. And now at this point, I can say I'm not disappointed. Lorii came into this game full blast and was a personality from start to finish, if not for her memorable persona, her hilarious diary room, or strong gameplay throughout. Something I really admire about Lorii is her ability to make bold moves and bold speeches. She cuts the bullshit and says things for what they are - and that's a philosphy that I believe in too. Lorii was not alligned with everyone in this game and was more than usually on the "outs" with the smaller alliance against the big alliance. Looking back at that, it's very impressive that she was able to chug through all of that and make it here.
