What roles do you think the crew of the lost revenge have? (Like how Uma’s Captain, Harry’s first mate, Gil’s second.)

hmmmmm

Bonnie-surgon/Brute

Desiree- 2nd master at arms/Carpenter

Gonzo- Helmsman/Brute

Drey- lookout/Navigator

Jonas-Brute/Rigger

Gabe- Powder monkey/Shipwright

Zhao-Brute/cooper

Emmanuel- Swabbies(though everyone does this job at one point)/Brute

and of course; Uma- sea captain

Harry- First mate/sailing master/Pilot/1st Master at arms

Gil-Quartermaster/Lookout/Brute/Carpenter/rigger

though, canonically, everyone has a chore list that kinda involves everything, but these are what i think are their actual titles/roles post D3

Born breech, he had never intended to leave his mother. His love for her was umbilical.

— Desiree Cooper, from "What if I Hadn’t Been There to Catch Them?" (NY Times, June 9, 2023)

[uswnt5]

Thanks for the site! For our consideration, here are the player minutes for KC. Players recently back from injury include Kristen Hamilton, Elizabeth Ball, and Morgan Gautrat, so their low numbers aren't indicative of quality. Gabrielle Robinson 1064 Hailie Mace 1058 Kate Del Fava 930 Debinha 906 Cece Kizer 891 Vanessa DiBernardo 871 Michelle Cooper 831 Lo LaBonta 823 Croix Soto 731 Addisyn Merrick 626 Mimmi Larsson 461 Isabel Rodriguez 383 Jenna Winebrenner 262 Kristen Hamilton 213 Chardonnay Curran 211 Alexis Loera 181 Alexa Spaanstra 159 Elizabeth Ball 141 Morgan Gautrat 54 Rylan Childers 5 Players without minutes: Hanna Glas, Claire Lavogez, Sam Mewis, Desiree Scott, Mallory Weber

Loera would be my best guess. She had a great season last year, pretty unexpectedly. Probably feels like she's earned more playing time.

These three I think should play more: Kristen Hamilton 213 Chardonnay Curran 211 Alexis Loera 181

Ranking Every Taskmaster Contestant*

Just a list I’ve worked on for the last few years in my drafts and never published, because why would anyone bother to do this without write-ups or statistics, without ever being asked to do it in the first place? But, it’s time to just get it out there.

Basically I judged this on: were they fun to watch, did they bring a character to the show I enjoyed, did they seem to enjoy it themselves, or did they seem to care at all? 

I noticed a few patterns. My least favorite seem to be the women who showed up and didn’t really have any familiarity with the show or any interest in competing. Just up from there is a grouping of hapless middle-aged men who I felt weird watching as they failed. 

On the other hand, if they were too competitive, I didn’t appreciate that, either. I feel bad putting Ed Gamble down at #20—I listen to him on two podcasts, but he was way too aggressively competitive in Taskmaster. It’s also part of why Iain Sterling, who otherwise would’ve had a higher spot on the list just by nature of being Scottish, but he really made an ass of himself throughout Series 8. 

Bias is probably the reason my #1 is my #1. A major theme of many of my top favorites seems to be that they are lanky, smart-dumbass types. 

I know there are several people will disagree with me on. Would love to hear what y’all think! 

Anyway, here it is, updated through season 14.

My Psy-Changeling couples ranking:

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Michelle Taiki Art (@michelletaikiart)

Cause why not? From the bottom!

Just the worst:

22. Dev/Katya: the very moving part as he prepares for her death does nothing to redeem him or this terrible relationship.

21. Nate/Tammy: omg, stop giving me a stomach ulcer and just treat her like the love of your life like she deserves

Snooze-worthy:

20. Aden/Zaira: I tried so hard to like this one and failed both times. Just boring.

19. Kenji/Garnet: the only thing that saves this is the shower scene at the end

18. Max/Sophia: the ending with the serial killer and Kaleb just jumping in is almost enough to save the story

These just don’t quite work for some reason:

18. Bastien/Kirby: could be great, but loses the plot with too many unsexy details later on

17. Emmett/Ria: cute, but not hot

16. Vaughn/Faith: I like them as individuals, but not so much together

15. Vasic/Ivy: he *falls to his knees* when she sends him nudes, but the back half is boring and goopey

The middle of the pack:

14. Walker/Lara (novella): I love a Silent Psy figuring out skin privileges. The plot is fine.

13. Clay/Talin: these guys get on my nerves most of the book, but I do end up rooting for them, and I love a romance that starts in childhood.

12. Dorian/Ashaya: a solid couple, good chemistry (and Vasic and Aden do cool stuff!) just not my favorite

11. Lucas/Sascha: a good start to the series, just doesn’t stand a chance against my favorites

10. Drew/Indigo: sexy, fun; just feels like a filler episode waiting for Hawke/Sienna

9. Riaz/Adira: annoyed me too much in the beginning, but I love how two people who lost at love get another chance for something real

The solid reads, worth it beginning to end:

8. Mercy/Riley: 🔥🔥🔥chemistry, liked this one much more the second time through, they are a great couple

7. Felix/Desiree: a sweet, fun little romance

6. Judd/Brenna: I adore everything Judd, and so enjoy his story. Plus Brenna’s pretty great, and the non-romance plot is good.

My inner angsty teen is in love:

5. Hawke/Sienna: surprised by how much I loved this one the second time around. Angst and longing and everything. Plus, a really nice Lara/Walker

4. Kaleb/Sahara: it’s dark, compelling, angsty, powerful, and sexy. Nothing I don’t love about it.

Best of the best:

3. Zach/Annie: just the perfect first date. I adore them so much.

2. Stefan/Tazi: Stefan, my beloved! Their story sweeps me off my feet everytime.

1. Cooper/Grace: nothing crazy from the main plotline, but such a sweet, sweet love story and lots of lovely foreplay. Let me go read it again…

I had so much fun doing this. Gonna take a break before getting into the Psy-Changeling-Trinity books (I am so looking forward to a reread of everything bearclan! And Alpha Night! And Ivan/Lei!). But this has been so much fun I’m considering doing it for Kit Rocha’s Beyond series too. Cause why not? 😊

As we got older, moving meant a time for reinvention, a chance to reset our livea. Of course, there was the grief of leaving behind all that had become familiar.
