I was really excited when Big Brother Remixed started. I had just finished watching BB1 for the first (and thank god the only time). The first few days I thought went very well but it became very apparent that about half the cast wasn't going to show up and wasn't interested. I think seven or six people were regularly showing up. The biggest character at that point was really Monica. Monica and I had a fairly regular back and forth about how I was trying to be ghetto and she was teaching me the ins and outs of the street and had a nickname for me that I can't remember. That was probably my favorite moment of the game. Josh was one of the people I talked early on with and I think we hinted at a final 2 but then he started coming to the board less and less. I think I liked Jamie and don't really remember to many other people in this game...I tried to make some alliances but it kind of seemed silly since in the first round or two it was apparent that we were tossing out inactives until the final seven. At one point there was a 6 person alliance because everyone else was so inactive and quiet. It really bogged me down and I just started coming to the board less and less. I don't feel to bad about this being low, considering I rank Redux games pretty high on here and I wouldn't say it was SF429's fault either that the game failed (because I always had a lot of fun in PI, Palau, and Guatemala). I don't want to use the word justified for me bailing on this, but when they had the mass quit after Hardy was evicted…I wasn't surprised. I know that would suck as a host to see his cast quietly disappear and eventually all give up. However I still believed Remixed 2 was headed in that direction after the first few days. Nothing really happened to me except for me and Mawnica's lovely conversations so I can't really rank this one very high.

14. FML's Survivor All-Stars - Brook (20th Place)

I was so utterly disappointed that I was the first one out. I was so pissed off. I had so much fun for my short stay in Oceania that I really wanted to come back and kick ass. I knew how cuthroat people were plus since it was All-Stars I knew who to look out for. I was so gung ho going into this and well...it wasn't meant to be (Plus I finally got the memo that cross tribe pming was allowed...). I was also surprised that I was even called back to play in this considering how early I got out in Oceania but was eager to play. Right off the bat I wanted to make an alliance with Shane since I considered him a good player and wanted to work once more with Ken and hopefully take Amber out early (I was still pissed at Eliza/Amber from Oceania). I also wanted to team up with Danielle because I remembered at the time everyone wasn't to keen on Tennis Ace and thought that he would be looking for an alliance. I wasn't a big fan of Rob C. I don't remember why but I wanted him to be the first boot on Sidi Kacem. At the beginning I thought I was making some big alliance with Ken, Shane, Sally, Mia, and Richard and I don't know how real it was now looking back. I just wanted to be in a big alliance and keep myself safe until the merge. I also wanted to get the outsiders together and take out everybody else but I was extremely paranoid and probably was worried about making alliances instead of making bonds. It is the classic example I think of someone's second game. When you first play one of these ORGs you don't realize how seriously everybody takes it. You kind of go overboard your second go around as you still try to find the right balance. Anyway eventually that huge alliance of six got to big and I was trying to work on a smaller one with just Ken, Shane, Sally and me since I thought the four of us were all bonding relatively well.

Shocking twist, the first immunity challenge and tribal council was individial. One person won and they sent someone to exile after tribal council. Gregg won immunity and the votes were supposed to be 10 for Silas and 10 for me. But it seems Rob C. and Amber decided to jump ship for the first vote and I got 12 and Silas only got 8. Amber said later that it was because she was wary of Ken, Shane, and me all on the tribe and me possibly looking for revenge.

Anyway great game, and it was awesome having a 20 person active cast but it sucked being the first one to go.

I'm not quite sure what happened here.

I love Penner. He is probably one of the best characters in Survivor since All Stars. Only person I really liked in Cook Islands and was my favorite in Fans vs. Favorites. Sucks he got taken out so soon by his leg injury. Anyway I am not quite sure what happened and my early boot is probably why it ranks so low. I came in, I thought I was active. Didn't post as much as I should have or talked as much as I should have which probably was the reason but I wasn't inactive and tried to save myself in the end. Going in I knew I had to make alliances fast and I knew I had to make a name for myself as someone people could count on but not someone who was overplotting etc. etc. I was actually trying to base my strategy on Skinny Ryan from PI: Redux. But I screwed up early. At the beginning I was bonding with Shawna and Cirie. I really liked them. I really really just loved Shawna. She was great and so much fun to talk with. I wanted her to be my final 2 partner. Not sure if I ever told her that. I for some reason didn't like whoever was playing Blake (haha sorry Remote). He seemed very scatterbrained and all over the place. To me it felt like he was playing several games at once.

One thing that was hard in Jun's House (hard or blessing maybe) was that if you were picked to be on the safe team you lost your private message capabilities until the next tribal leader challenge. I was already quiet and I usually pm more then post on the board, so having to go out of my way to show people I was there by posting on the board I think was one of the things that hurt me. It was communication in this game. I know for some people it would be a nice breather to not have to pm, and I thought that as well, but it just makes it harder to interact in my opinion. So I got through the first round unscathed because I wasn't picked. Ok.

I then got lucky the second time. Becky picked the other group. So another round of messages turned off. Again no need to worry about private messaging but that is what these games are all about. Right before that I already was getting a feeling things weren't going to well because I was getting less and less messages from people. I think they had moved on.

Third round my luck ran out. I came late for the challenge (of course) and ended up on Cooterra and Rory nominated me against Debb. Debb was someone who I considered to be a huge player in the game. I had a tiny bit of hope. It looked like Debb and Rory didn't like each other so I was hoping to be a pawn. So we went to the veto challenge, I really felt like I had to win and…three minutes into it Debb had cracked the code and it was all over. I liked Debb though. She was fucking hilarious and if I had gotten back in the game she would have been someone I would have gone to in order to try and not get an early boot.

Now here is where things really suck. Rory wasn't around to put up another nomination so Denise is put up because she wanted to quit. So I thought this is great I get a new lease on life in this game. I am going to work really hard in order to not get eliminated. Work hard in posting on the board and pming.

I voted off in a 4-2 vote. I don't even think Denise was there that night. I campaigned for her to go just a tiny bit but I thought it would be an easy decision for everyone. However I got some "undecided" messages from people who didn't know what to do. Really? I know I wasn't around as much as I should have been, but I was ashamed that I got eliminated like that. Oh well.

12. Cuahtemoc Cosby's Survivor: Alaska - Cassandra (18th Place)

"You better realize."

Has anyone ever read the Survivor Australia field guide? Well in the book Mark Burnett writes about 16 ways to win the show. One of them is the determined victim. Though that strategy never really came to fruition it is where I came up with Cassandra. First of all I loved the fact that we got to pick any person we wanted to play for CC's Survivor Alaska. I really wanted to develop a contestant that nobody had ever played and give them some sort of notoriety. So Cassandra was the perfect choice. She had almost 0 personality in Fiji and was considered one of the most boring contestants on the show. I wanted to really develop her and as I progressed in my few days in the game it became more and more crazy. There came a point where I realized that I was about to lose and I kind of just went crazy. I had a hell of a time doing it. I think Cassandra could have been a great character in the game but I had almost no strategy at all.

My first goal in the game was to come up with a catchy phrase that I would say ("You better realize"). It got a bit annoying. My second goal was to come up with a crazy twist that didn't happen. Finally I wanted to have a good solid alliance in order to make sure I was safe at least for a few votes. At the time I was also trying to put all the blame on Todd, someone I saw as a big character and tried to make him look like he was overplaying the game. Somehow that got misconstrued that I was making multiple alliance when I was just really trying to blame Todd for making multiple alliance. I only and true alliance was the Old People Alliance (Cassandra, BB, Sekou). However the original BB disappeared and I think Erik offered Sekou a much better deal then hanging out with crazy Cassandra. Then Todd got switched over to the other tribe so everything fell apart. Not that it wasn't already hanging by a thread. The highlights of the game was telling Ethan this crazy twist. Since we weren't told anything about the other tribe I told him that the game had begun several days ago. That I was on a tribe of 12 people and that we were playing individual rounds and I was the first person voted off and had to join Kenai. I think Ethan believed me for a little bit. I told him all of this before the red rover twist was revealed to us and even tried to use it to show Ethan I was telling the truth (plus I correctly guessed Natalie as another player). Gnarls said I was horrible at the game in his confessional which I find hilarious, but I didn't steal from Josh (BBAU7: De Novo) I just was having my own original fun. Plus he said I was probably the only one laughing at my twist joke…I was and still think it is brilliant.

So the twist, at least for the pre-merge, was the Red Rover twist for Mario Lanza's Alaska fanfic. A brilliant twist by the way. So we had a reward challenge deciding who got the power to steal someone from the other tribe. It was some complicated game about picking the shortest route by figuring out which roads were the shortest. There were ten rounds and in case of a tie in the final round the ninth one was used instead. Sally was supposed to go last and dropped out at the last second so I became the person the person who participated in the ninth round. I wasn't mad about that but Cassandra was. She didn't want to be put in a precarious position like that. So of course we tied with the other tribe and I had some horrible 3000 mile score and we lost (thus resulting in Todd being switched to the other tribe after BB had to drop out). Then we barely lost the immunity challenge but by then I knew was already a goner and I lashed out at Sally for the hell of it. Sorry Martrae I was just fooling around.

The best thing about that tribal council is that while I'm trying to have my ghetto Sherea /overreaction Davina, Erik, and Probst are talking about the next reward challenge completely ignoring me.

So in the end I wasn't really trying to play a strategic game but I wanted to have some fun and see how long I could ride being crazy….which isn't very long.
