We all talk about how Penelope is strong in the 3x01 "Mr Bridgerton" scene because she doesn't fold after his shameless flirting but do you know what is true strenght? This moment right here. Because that boy is TOUCHING HER BARE ARM and TAKING HER HAND and he says "you really are very good, you know?" in the SOFTEST VOICE KNOWN TO MAN. And like... i'm sorry. I'm sorry but WHAT THE FUCK. HOW DID SHE NOT IMMEDIATELY FALL TO HER KNEES? Penelope Featherington is truly the strongest out of everyone because sure, she is desperately pining for him - but at least she keeps it under wraps. I would not have been able. If Colin Bridgerton said something like that to me I would have had no choice but to hit my knees and ask him if he would be kind enough as to compromise me immediately.

Awards

Welcome to the Award show!

Player of the Season (POTS)

First, I would like to give the award for Player of the Season. This award goes to a person who did not win, yet they still had a significant impact on the game. This award goes to two people.

This person was one of the first to go on the anti-Jodi warpath that would shape the rest of the merge. While not succeeding, their efforts made them a clear winner’s pick for multiple rounds, and they shook up the game on multiple occasions. Their first power play during the Fusion round established themselves as the Head of the other side. They also managed the feat of taking out Jodi before Jodi could take them out. Therefore, I proudly give this award to…

Colin.

He has shown what it takes to work from the top to the bottom and back to the top again. While he may have it easy for a few rounds thanks to some idols, it was his good social game and excellent jury management that managed to net him those advantages in the first place. All of Jodi’s blindspots he took advantage of, recruiting allies in Amy, Elle, and Josh who Jodi had distanced herself from. If he had played his idol during the Invisible Round, I am sure that he would be sitting in one of the FTC spots right now. Congratulations.

This person needs no introduction. Their impact on the game was tremendous. You could not go anywhere in this game without having heard their name. I am surprised they managed to make it as far as they did with such a huge target from the onset of merge. However, I could not be more proud to give them this award for all their hard effort. While they may not have won, they still showed a tremendous amount of grit that is worthy of recognition. Therefore, I proudly give this award to…

Jodi

This season could be renamed Survivor: Jodi Islands because everything in this game seemed to revolve around her. From the beginning of merge, Jodi ruled this game with an iron fist and never let go. She had one single goal in mind and while it may have caused a slight case of tunnel vision, it did help motivate her to keep pushing herself harder in this game. She definitely was the one who put the most effort and was the most visible in this game. For those efforts, I am happy to give her this award.

Fan Favorite

The spectators in the Viewing Lounge have been voting for their favorite player since the Final 4 Tribal Council. This award goes to...

Colin with 50% of the votes.

Raffy’s Favorite Player

The mysterious and elusive favorite player award. This award goes to my favorite person to watch while they were in the game. It was extremely fun to poke their game, watch them succeed, watch them make mistakes, and just listen to their train of thought. I know I have found a new ORG friend in this person. I will give this award to….

Dennis.

Despite having only been to tribal twice, Dennis made every pre-merge round very fun with his plotting. Several times in this game I desperately wanted the Phantom tribe to go to tribal because I wanted to see how Dennis’ plans would take form. When you guys voted him out, I was disappointed because he did not get to showcase his full ORG potential in this game. I would’ve loved to watch it go down more.

Villain of the Season

The nominees for villain of the season are...

Jodi Colin Dennis

This is my favorite award of the night, and it only goes to the most esteemed. After all, from an iconic villain to iconic villain, right? This award goes to the person with the most backstabs and most villainous game plan. They never let up on their villainy despite knowing that it would rub people on the jury the wrong way. They made great allies, and then promptly showed them the door when it most suited them. They were able to recognize threats from a mile away and get rid of them quickly and efficiently. Their multitude of lies hardly ever, if ever, got them in trouble. As many have pointed out, their lies seemed unnecessary, yet they still worked towards their overarching goal. Somehow, lying and playing villainously always worked out for our Villain. So, without further ado, I present the Villain of the Season Award to...

Jodi.

Jodi has to be the textbook definition of a Villain. She will lie to you all day and all night until you get to believe what she is selling. She is an excellent liar and an excellent villain for reasons different from me. She masters the subterfuge and secret-keeping of a villain while negating and keeping to a minimum the chaos by planning for every scenario. It is these qualities that landed her in the Final 3 in the first place. Congratulations from a fellow villain!

Hero of the Season

The nominees for Hero of the Season go to...

Colin Elle Amy

I initially had a person in mind for this award, but this perception changed as we neared the endgame. Now, I have decided to give Hero of the Season to the person who did the least amount of lying, was playing from the bottom the whole time for a true underdog story, and kept a positive vibe throughout the entire game. They were a person incredibly easy to root for and managed to make FTC truly the apex of what this game could be. Hero of the Season goes to…

Elle.

Elle’s gameplay throughout the season has been very Hero-like. They would tell jokes to keep the mood up and were even initially targeted partly because they are likeable. Their social game was one to be feared as Elle never made any enemies even while voting someone out.

Best Alliance

The nominees for best alliance go to...

Jodi’s Lovers (Jodi, Jared, Jay) Y’all Ready for Chaos (Colin, Josh, Elle, Amy) Wingwomaning Jodi (Jodi, Anastasia, Jared)

This alliance, from its inception, was incredibly strong. They were made in the mid-game, but they all had a common goal that united them. This goal even persuaded others from outside the alliance to not target them. Afterwards, people did not realize that these three were ever in an alliance because of how well they played. Thus, best alliance goes to…

Wingmaning Jodi (Jodi, Anastasia, Jared)

While this alliance started with Jay in it, it was only until after his vote out did they earn this award. During the invisible round, Anastasia played double agent wherein she leaked all of Colin’s plans. This helped this alliance plan their move out with Josh to take out Colin. For the rest of the game, free information was funneled into that information because the other players had no idea that they were all together. In this way, this alliance impressed me the most.

Best Under the Radar Game

The nominees for Best UTR game are...

Anastasia Josh Jared Amy

This award rewards someone who played while avoiding the target for some time. People underestimated their strategic ability which came to be their downfall. In fact, while others got shit for being “backstabbers” and “liars,” this person managed to avoid such a label despite having played a very similar game. They mastered what it meant to be a floater before their untimely exit. Therefore, this award goes to…

Josh.

He definitely floated between alliances. From working with Colin against Jodi to working with Jodi against Colin. Without his information and participation, none of the moves made by the big power players could have been made. His invisible round play was by far his best as he got out Colin before Colin could get him out. He had an extraordinary ability to assess threats accurately and make efforts toward them. If he hadn’t been rocked out, I would not have been surprised to see him at Final Tribal Council being declared the winner of Survivor: Metaverse.

Best Move

The nominees for Best Move are...

Jodi’s/Josh’s Invisible Round Colin’s Chaos Idol Brayden’s Decisions Decisions Amy’s Idol Secret

And the award goes to…

Jodi’s/Josh’s Invisible Round

Both of these people had a big hand in one of the most masterful moves made this season. The Invisible Round had a 2-1-1-1-1-1 vote wherein both Josh and Jodi had a hand in making it happen. Firstly, Jodi had convinced everyone that Jared had won individual immunity when, in actuality, it was Anastasia who won. This, and the fear of Jared’s idol being used on Jodi, made it so that the alliance of Wingwomaning Jodi would not be targeted this round. Instead, people used this manufactured opportunity to target each other. Josh had made his move first and his UTR game helped establish strong trust with Jodi. His plan to get rid of the idol manifested itself when he managed to make Colin comfortable enough to not use it. Thus, Josh was able to a) get rid of an idol and b) get rid of a strong contender to win. All of this would have been impossible without his masterful maneuvering in this game that made him least likely to be targeted by others. We stan these two and one of the most flavorful moves this whole game.

Best Pre-Juror

To celebrate those that did not make it as far as I would like to have sen them go, here is the award for Best Pre-Juror. The nominees are...

Jessica Moth Danny

All of these people definitely deserved to make it much farther than they did. The Fools tribe was just a different sort of cursed. They could not catch a break. However, all these nominees would have caused some sort of destruction at the merge. This award will go to the person I feel had the most squandered potential and was eliminated from this game all too soon. This award goes to....

Danny.

I was in shock when Danny managed to keep himself and Shaad safe in that Fools tribe despite Shaad being incredibly inactive. Danny managed at 2-1-1 vote to get out Jessica, flipped Jared to take out Moth and betray Jessica, and further managed to get out Jennifer instead of Ginny (for whatever reason). He has a different sort of mastery of this game and elevated the gameplay of the pre-merge. Without him, it would have just been a slow and boring pagonging. He kept the pre-merge interesting by playing as if it were a merge. I can only imagine that kind of gameplay at the merge where it would have taken him very far, especially with the already chaotic merge we had.

Most Robbed

The nominees for most robbed are...

Josh Colin Dennis

The winner of this award goes to…

Josh.

The unlucky rock changed the whole game. Without that rock, Josh would have managed to play almost perfectly to the finale. Perhaps he would have been the only one capable of taking out both Amy and Jodi from the picture before FTC. I would love to see him in another game to demonstrate how much he can truly shine as a master strategist. Good luck with your game king. Don’t forget your crown.
