If this were a show, Heinrichs would serve as our narrator for pretty much the entire season. Telling us what’s happening, how it’s happening, just very matter of fact while everyone else spastically screams about their feelings. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect out of Heinrichs coming in but I really enjoyed chatting to him in his interview and thought his energy would meld well with what we had going on. I think he could have easily isolated himself in the beginning, got outcasted, then picked off, but Karen immediately brought Heinrichs out of his shell and to the fore front of the Véner spectacle. Heinrichs unfortunately took part in Karen’s demise as he signed a contract from Maddy which due to the. card twist, took his vote away. Moving into the third tribe, Heinrichs and Alicia slid onto the top position tribe and became target #1 duo in charge from this point forward. Going into the merge, everyone was determined to split this pair up, especially with Alicia’s idol in check. But with careful strategic maneuvering, the duo managed to take themselves from #1 target, to #1 vote grab for everyone in the game. At 11, Heinrichs single handedly won 5 immunities for his entire alliance except Robert taking out 3 of the exposed alliance from Jack’s slip. At 8, seeing that their current situation could get dire if the Teubé’s got numbers, he flipped to take out Rob and Will back to back, leaving him with a duo at 6. Heinrichs stood at the final 6 with an ally with an idol, and a four person alliance with Ricky, Alicia, and Brie. Three duos remained at the final 6, and unfortunately the other four were determined to split Alicia and Heinrichs. Heinrichs was great, kept his allies calm, and managed to keep in the constant swing of the ever changing narrative. I think his gameplay is even more justified by Alicia’s win because the two worked so closely together. - Samm
Heinrichs was one of the most rootable and lovable characters in Dissonance and it's a reflection of the person outside of the game. Coming into the game with our esteemed MS alumni I thought we might get an MVM/Kilby clone of gamebot-esque proportions but we got genuine hero character who, as Sam mentioned, served as one of the main narrators for the season. Karen and Justin seemed like such an unlikely duo at first considering the stark contrast in outer personalities but whew! I'm so happy they linked up and worked together because on a viewership standpoint seeing their friendship form was wholesome and on a game standpoint it set for the most explosive two round arc in the game (in my opinion) on NuVener. After Karen's boot I remember reading Heinrichs' confessional immediately after and him vowing to get back at those who sent her out, and he (partially) did just that later on in the game! One thing I really appreciated about his game, for better or for worse, was how cool he played it when he was ready to cause chaos. Sign Maddy's contract? Yeah sure, why not what's the worst that could happen :). Maintaining that attitude allowed him to pull off some sneaky underhanded moments, like swapping seats in Seat Exchange and convincing others to do it using the basis of 'for fun'... I was in awe that that challenge ended in like, two rounds... what... Rayna jokingly gets the title of Agent of Chaos but Heinrichs rightfully earned that title with the ability to just try things out under the guise of 'sure why not' and everyone just... accepting it because it's just Heinrichs being Heinrichs. Thoroughly entertaining, absolutely brilliant from a viewer perspective.
Heinrichs was also a part of one of the major duos in the game with Alicia, helped to be brought together by the martyr Karen, and as such had a huge focal point on him for the majority of the game. The chemistry and level-headedness they had when talking game and deciding their next steps starkly contrasted everyone else in the game at most times and they were able to integrate themselves at countless crucial points. Alicia gets a lot of the credit because she won the season, but Heinrichs deserves just as much of the credit. He was painted as some snake, rat, whatever cliche animal you can think of -- and despite all of this he continued to find himself in favourable positions up to 6. I think Ricky made the wrong call in booting Heinrichs there for his own game... but selfishly I get to call him a fellow crazy spot member and I am proud to have him in the family. When he revealed his 'I'm making my hair look wild because people will think I am stupid' strategy at the Jury Roundtable (RIP)... I was so impressed and proud. But looking back at the season, it was just another day of work for our lovable Agent of Chaos
Addendum: One of my simultaneously favourite/least favourite Heinrichs memories was during Scamming Horse Race where he did the challenge remotely from his car the entire time with spotty reception and asked me to repeat the challenge instructions at least twice. After that he, being a smart ass, remarked “so there are horses?”... - Stephen
