Danger is up there as one of the most memorable pre-merge arcs in SurviVARS history, right next to players like Nicko and Lupus. From the start, Danger was ruling the roost on Lionette. He had Sindira and Lavinia as his unflinchingly loyal lieutenants, and even the players on the bottom seemed to trust him implicitly. It was impossible to argue that he wasn’t in total control of his tribe. He was the first on his tribe to find the Idol Hunt, and shared the clue with pretty much everyone in order to gain trust. It worked, and when Lionette lost the second immunity challenge Danger was handed the vote on a silver platter. The Parent Trap alliance tried to strategize a way to send two votes towards Lavinia in order to remove her disadvantage, but they ultimately played it safe and only Sindira threw a rogue vote. Danger was playing all sides, informing Ano about the majority alliance, earning some loyalty from them despite their place on the bottom.

When the tribes swapped, Danger seemed to be in a great spot. The Parent Trap alliance was intact on Nydoorin, and it shouldn’t have been hard to pull in some more numbers to cement his majority. Unfortunately, there were a few too many savvy players beside him, and people recognized how much control he could potentially seize. He wasn’t helped by the fact that Sindira and Lavinia weren’t being as social, meaning his allies were becoming targets on their own. He put in a lot of work to overcome these challenges, though, and used his knowledge of the idol hunt to try to get in with Orange. When Orange shared his own knowledge of the hunt, which he had been too late to claim, Danger was able to get to the end and claim the Lionette idol for himself! He lied to Orange, using the host’s own wording (which Orange had shared with him) to convince Orange that his had already been claimed as well. With an idol to their name, the trio seemed poised for success. When his tribe had to draw a card from the Deck, everyone agreed to self vote so that it could be left truly to chance, but Danger had the big-brain idea to vote for Sindira in secret. If anybody but Sindira ended up with the card, Danger would know that at least one other player didn’t self vote. This worked flawlessly, and Danger was able to decipher when Dongoosh and Jake coordinated to hand Dongoosh a card draw.

When Nydoorin lost the next challenge, the dam finally broke. Danger hadn’t been speaking much to Riley (which he humorously explained in a video confessional as being because he didn’t want his wife to see him chatting with someone who had a cute profile picture like hers), so she immediately threw his name out. It looked like OG tribes would be voting together, so it all came down to seeing which two tribes would unite against the other. Despite fear of a Brenatto majority in the merge, people ultimately felt more loyal to Jake and Dongoosh than they felt to Danger and his parent trappers. Orange leaked to Jake and Dongoosh that Danger was targeting them, and Danger further dug his own grave when he decided to go full Dangerish and tried to spread lies and chaos in an attempt to flip Jake and Goosh against each other. In a massive blindside, everyone voted for Danger except for the Parent Trap alliance. He was sent home with an idol in his pocket, after having been a top contender in every previous episode. Danger said he would’ve played his idol had he been online, so we can only imagine how different the game could have been had he pre-played it. Despite placing 15th, Danger still ended up as one of the most memorable players in one of our most competitive casts. He was easily the star of the pre-merge, earning him an official award to prove it. His video confessionals were AMAZING, and his sense of humor was top notch. He was the perfect mix of being a lovable character as well as a great strategic and social player, which is the recipe for Survivor gold. I would pay real money to see this man on my television screen, and I can’t wait for the chance to host him again. He was taken from us far too soon, and the world needs to see a season where Danger makes a deep run and we get the content we’re all missing out on. Huge shout out to Danger for what he brought to this game, even if he didn’t last as long as the others.

### **Nominations**

**Most Robbed Player**

I’ll be honest, Danger sealed his own fate in a lot of ways. He definitely overplayed his last round in the game, and trying to turn Dongoosh and Jake against each other was a pretty sloppy move. But, all of that being said, Danger was set up SO well before the merge. He had loyal allies left and right, an idol in his pocket, and was easily one of the fan favorites from the spec lounge. If Danger made the merge and could contain his chaotic impulses enough, I can see a potential world where he ends up with a death grip on this game. He certainly had that on OG Lionette, and then everything seemed to drop out from under him at once. He was certainly responsible for a lot of what changed, but I still consider him robbed because of how much potential he had that was lost all at once. And let’s be honest, spec lounge was robbed by losing Danger as well.

**Funniest Player**

Danger certainly made the most of the limited screen time he got in this season. He’s fairly new to the ORG scene, but he’s already cemented his place in this community as a chaotic and wildly entertaining player. Any ORG would be lucky to cast this man, and SurviVARS was blessed to have him. His video confessionals were hilarious, his constant impulse towards absolute chaos was amazing, and he added so much life and energy to the game for as long as he was around.

### **Awards**

**Pre-Jury All Star**

Danger will probably go down as one of the greatest Fall From Grace stories in SurviVARS. He was at the top of early trust rankings on Lionette, had a small circle of incredibly loyal followers in Sindira and Lavinia, and then found an idol that cemented his control even more. He was at the top of our Edgic contenders list from the start. Then, he ended up in a rough spot on a swap, and was blindsided with an idol in his pocket after playing a bit too hard and triggering alarm bells for Dongoosh and Jake. He went from the very top of the game to (S7: 15th) in a heartbeat. This was the vote that set the tone for how great this season was going to be, because nobody was safe. This cast was out to play, and Danger was the first victim. His confessionals were golden, his character was so insanely rootable, and he had the entire spec lounge on his side. He was taken too soon, and I personally can’t wait to give him a second chance to shine.
