Season 3 Character Rankings

Character rankings for Trevivor Season 3: Camelot's Last Stand!

## **18:** October (16th)

The least active player on the season, October was pretty much the designated first boot from Stirling a couple cycles before she actually was eliminated. She sadly was just working too much when the season began, and thus we weren’t able to see what she could have brought to the table otherwise.

## **17:** Melas (18th)

Our first boot, Melas ended up having more of an impact on the season from spec lounge and then as the Jury’s Loved One than he did as a player. In the brief time he was in the game he showed some flashes of fun with his enthusiasm and potentially re-igniting a rivalry with Hope, but it was not to be. Blame Quimper for just being a bunch of losers at the beginning of the game I guess.

## **16:** Clay (17th)

Speaking of Quimper, the man who drafted their tribe was also booted quite early, as Clay was unable to reach the heights his fellow captain did. Like October, he was busy to begin the game, though he did serve as one of the most entertaining players in the scavenger hunt, playing music, complaining about staying up late and then getting unanimously voted out for his troubles.

## **15:** Spider (13th)

Spider was a fun, lighthearted presence. From forgetting where he had played with Pyro previously and scrambling to try and remember, to his all-caps outburst after sucking at Wavelength, to delaying his own elimination by flooding tribal council chat with memes and streaming Skylanders in the tribe VC (yeah, that was an interesting time), Spider brought an energy that was different from a lot of other players. However, the reason he’s ranked this low can be summed up by what he said in his confessional during the October boot: “my plan for tribal: *do absolutely nothing*”. Simply put, we didn’t get much game-related out of him at any point, and that hurts him in these rankings.

## **14:** Tommy (15th)

Hey remember Quimper sucking at challenges? Our pikaboy was the person most robbed by that, as he might have ended up in a much better position if he’d made it to the swap. His cross-tribe chat with Iz made him pretty intriguing from a strategic standpoint, and he was funny as well, with an irreverent attitude belying how he did look to assert himself in the game. Unfortunately, he was not part of the majority alliance that controlled things on the tribe, and going to three tribals in a row was too much for him to stay in.

## **13:** Ravelt (11th)

One of the social stars during Day Zero, Ravelt was an early frontrunner and very active in his confessionals, but his game began to crumble pre-swap due to falling out of favour of many of his tribemates, and the fact that he spent the vast majority of his time on Quimper 2.0 just chilling due to thinking that the OG Stirlings were all going to stick together hurts him in these rankings. Under different circumstances he might have ended up as one of the top players in the game, but instead his narrative arc just sort of petered out, going from a contender to a unanimous boot in just a few cycles.

## **12:** Simba (14th)

Simba had MAJOR villain vibes going for him early on, and had a good amount of power on OG Quimper, with the only thing preventing him from shooting up these rankings being the fact that he was swap-screwed into a 5-2 minority, made worse by the fact that Ashley was gunning for him the second they landed on the same tribe. He was a big character when he was still in, with his strange attempt at selling himself as being on the bottom to Ashley during the Wavelength challenge - followed by it immediately blowing up in his face - being one of the highlights of the premerge. He would have been a shoe-in for the Villain award had he made merge, but it was not to be, despite him being willing to sell out anyone in order to make it there.

## **11:** Rej (10th)

The king of video confessionals on the season, Rej’s vlog type content and generally upbeat attitude were his hallmarks in the game from a spectator POV. He started off a little slow the first couple cycles, not being part of the OG Quimper majority alliance, but he really came into his own both game-wise and character-wise at the swap, where he became more assertive. While he did not enter merge as one of the biggest targets, he was dramatically eliminated with just a single vote at F10, before he really had the chance to thrive in the game. He took the title of king of ponderosa well though, and despite being disappointed remained engaged and active the rest of the season.

## **10:** Serra (8th)

Serra would have been higher up in these rankings if she’d been more active in her confessionals, because otherwise she added a lot to the season! Similar to Rej she started outside the initial majority alliance on OG Stirling, but by the end of premerge she had grown into one of the more powerful figures in the game on top of Quimper 2.0. She also became loaded with advantages out of nowhere, playing an idol, a 50/50 Coin and an Extra Vote all at the first two merge tribals. Taken down at F8 for simply being too big of a target, her exit served as a prelude for what was to come for the rest of the Quimper 2.0 members. Like I said at the beginning, her confessional activity was the only thing that was lacking...she didn’t tell us that she was even thinking about playing her idol before she did it!

## **9:** Pola (12th)

Pola was hilarious! She stated pregame that she wanted to get ahead by flirting with people, but after realizing the age range of most of the cast she switched to purposefully playing dumb to try lower her threat level, a strategy that included (among other things) claiming that the reason she lost her puzzle duel at F13 was because she couldn’t figure out how to take a screenshot on her computer. She was often cynical, always believing that she was about to get flipped on, but shined in her duo with Hope which carried over from OG Quimper to Stirling 2.0. Sadly, she was actually flipped on a little before merge, which was unfortunate because with her legacy advantage and with Ashley and also High hoping they’d be able to link up with her later, she could have done some damage at merge.

## **8:** Xavier (3rd)

Xavier falls to 8th in these rankings due to simply being more UTR than the people listed ahead of him. That doesn’t mean he was a bad character at all, far from it. Probably the most pure Hero we’ve had on any season, he was determined to do whatever it took for his allies to make it to the end, even willing to sacrifice himself, though he did make FTC instead of being voted out in 4th like he originally wanted. Always having a kind energy about him, his excitement for chess infectious, his reminders to drink water constant, ending up at FTC (though he didn’t win) was a fitting end for his narrative arc.

## **7:** Davon (9th)

If Davon had made it further he could have ended right up near the very top of these rankings, because he was a massive force in the premerge. Entertaining spectators and loved by his fellow players, his great character ended up being his downfall in the game as he was targeted right at the beginning of the merge due to being too big of a social threat, and while he was saved from being the merge boot by Hope, he then went right after that anyway. A deserved winner of the Class Clown award, he was a serious threat with some far from serious moments, and also the most recognizable emoji usage of anyone in the cast. Honestly, 7th here feels too low for him, but the top six were all fantastic characters in their own right.

## **6:** High (5th)

High was somewhat UTR during the premerge, being part of the majority alliances on both OG and swap tribes but not looking like he was on top of them. But boy did he come to life at the merge! Stubbornly refusing to vote for Davon and throwing his vote on Rej was one of the most accidentally genius moves I’ve seen, as it then put him right in the middle, a position he continued to occupy for the next couple tribals. He also gets brownie points for being the only person to flip at any point post-merge (even though it ended up backfiring) because of the drama it caused. He was never shy about sharing some attitude, whether in his confessionals or bickering with other players, and remained a jury favourite on top of that.

## **5:** Hope (2nd)

Would have been #1 if she’d released her rap video smh

In all seriousness, Hope was a great presence on the season, and played a damn good game as well. Just as likely to be talking in her confessional about plans for votes as she was to be talking about mice found in her workplace’s dining room, she was always very rootable and fun. Game-wise, her social play led to people always wanting to work with her, avoiding being targeted and along with Tanner receiving zero counted votes against her, and she stands as the only player in Trevivor history to have multiple successful idol plays. Her dilemmas of whether to try and flip or not added intrigue, and really the only reason she’s not higher is because she kept going to Taco Bell for lunch. Gross.

## **4:** Tanner (1st)

The winner of the season, Tanner rivals Jack in S1 for the greatest underdog story in this ORG. While initially a power player on OG Quimper, he was swap-screwed, survived, prospered again briefly, then watched as all his allies were systematically eliminated. That was not for a lack of effort though: his cross-tribe chat with Pyro and his bonds with others made it seem like he could end up running the game to some extent at merge, and he was always willing to make a big move, but things always seemed to end up happening just slightly before he would have wanted them to. With that said, he made out alright in the end, and outside of leaving the server temporarily at F9 he remained a strong, collected player, with his likability combined with his clear frustrations at how a lot of the merge played out making his eventual FIC and FTC win more compelling.

## **3:** Iz (7th)

Our villain, Iz was a massive presence on the season from the very beginning, pointed out right away as a social threat but still finding herself in prime positions throughout the premerge. She won Best Confessionals for a reason, as she was super active there as well as everywhere else basically. Always scheming, she was unafraid to lay into people when she didn’t understand what they were doing, and never backed down from any situation. When A New Hope looked to fully take control of the game at F7 they targeted her as the head of the coalition they faced, and her rivalry with Pyro dominated the middle part of the season. Ironically, Iz never seemed to see herself as nearly as big of a threat as everyone else did, but her impact was very evident for anyone watching to see.

## **2:** Pyro (4th)

She might not have won, but Pyro came as close to it as you can without doing so, as it seemed like everything game-related this season centred around her. She was at the top of OG Stirling, survived a bad swap, stayed alive post-merge despite constantly being targeted, and did it all with flair. It was impossible to not pay attention to what she was doing, whether it was leading the strategizing at F11, or playing double agent at F10, or passing off her idol at F7. Coming in after an 18th place finish in S1, she more than lived up to her billing as a captain, and this redemption only added more fuel to what was an incredible narrative arc. To cap it off, she took a martyr approach at F4, shooting down Xavier’s idea of sacrificing himself in order to make sure she went, wanting her two allies to be able to make it to FTC ahead of her.

## **1:** Ashley (6th)

Honestly, there was not much doubt here. If Pyro was centre of the season game-wise, Ashley was the centre of it entertainment-wise. Winning the Fan Favourite voting by the biggest margin of any season, she was hilarious and engaging right from Day Zero, happy to beef with just about anything in the server while not seeming to have much of a filter. But while her one-sided feud with Simba and hatred of emojis was fun, what kicked her character up another level was the way she impacted the game strategically, especially post-merge. She read the situation at F10 better than anyone else from Quimper 2.0, convincing Serra she was in real danger, she stubbornly insisted on a split plan at F8 that like no one else was sure about and ended up throwing her vote, she was the second person to find the merge idol clue at F7 and blew up A New Hope’s initial plan of getting votes on Pyro, she won challenges, and she did it all with an energy and attitude that entertaining as hell to watch.
