**Player Ranking (3rd)**

Victoria played a hell of a game, and is absolutely deserving of the title of Sole Survivor. From early on, she proved that she was a social juggernaut, and quickly earned her way into the good graces of key players like Bird. She never voted incorrectly at any point in the game, and won clutch challenges any time she might’ve been in trouble. People loved her and trusted her, and this allowed her to dominate the game alongside other powerhouses like Aria and Dan. Even more impressively, though, she did all of this without any pregame connections. She was a complete stranger to this cast, in a season where 80% of them already knew each other. I’m really proud of Victoria’s game, and I’m really happy that she was able to go home with a title. That’s queen shit.

### **Awards**

**Best Move**

There are some moves that change the course of the game. For this season, I think we can all agree that the biggest ones happened in the pre-merge. This move is definitely one of them. This season had a lot of players that got taken out in the pre-merge for being strategically aggressive, and this resulted in some of the season’s best blindsides. The decision to blindside this player, when they had two idols in their pocket, had by far the most consequences. It was this move that ultimately gave the Bad News Bears alliance the power to really dominate the merge, and it set up the mentality that big, aggressive players wouldn’t survive the people in power.

#### **Voting History**

**Player Ranking (5th)**

Queen Victoria made a triumphant return this season, and proved to everyone (except maybe herself) that she was far from being a mediocre winner. She’s one of the humblest people on Discord, but I refuse to talk about her without highlighting how badass her game was. Social game? Top tier. Challenge game? Stone solid. Advantage game? Jesus Christ it was incredible to watch. This woman was pretty much just Thanos. She had every single Infinity Stone except for one at one point in the game. Didn’t she also have an immunity idol? Honestly, I can’t even remember what she had. I needed a chart just to track how many advantages this woman found. The advantage situation was just the top of the iceberg though, and she was playing a really solid game all around. She was somehow able to suppress her Texas-sized threat level and worked with Izzy at all the right moments to keep each other safe. Vic and Izzy won Best Duo for a reason, and it was because this whole season was pretty much theirs for the taking. The only person powerful enough to finally bring Victoria down was the eventual winner of the season herself. I know Vic would’ve crushed the final few Immunity challenges, so if Izzy didn’t have this game in such a vice grip Victoria very likely would have won it all.

### **Nominations**

**Hero**

Victoria calls herself the most mediocre SurviVARS winner, but we don’t believe it. This game proves how much of a badass she is. She stayed UTR in Hogwarts, and it worked great for her. Here, her blip on the radar was so large that it basically took up the whole screen. She was one of the most visible players in the game, but survived in spite of this. There was a moment in the game where she had literally every Infinity Stone AND an Immunity Idol, and she wound up not having to use almost any of them. Maybe she should have used her idol, but the reason she didn’t was that she really trusted her allies. She was a loyal player to her side, and a great ally to the people she trusted. Her visibility was just too high to keep her in the game, but she was about as noble as they come for the time she spent in it.

**Best Move (Alice's Elimination)**

This is easily my favorite Tribal Council of the season, and maybe in all of SurviVARS. So many different factors were at play, and they all had different effects on the tribal. Two prior winners were targeted, which is already a recipe for a wild Tribal. It was right after the auction, so everyone was paranoid about advantages. It was also the round where the Soul Stone was revealed, so many of the heavy hitters were weighing whether or not they could safely vote against their #1. Alice played a Stone Steal, which allowed her to take the Mind Stone from Vic to steal JRay’s vote in an attempt to save herself. Great move! JRay used his extra vote to help balance this out. Great move! BK used the chaos to throw a vote towards Biggy, sacrificing Alice but earning a Soul Stone. Great move! (Although it also kind of ended BK’s game in hindsight). All of this compounded into one of the most chaotic, unpredictable Tribal Councils this ORG has seen.

**Best Duo (With Izzy)**

We brought back three badass female winners, and the fact that two of them worked together as closely as they did is a dream come true. Their alliance may not have lasted into the endgame, but these two legendary players teamed up to a great effect in the early merge. Izzy and Victoria both had massive targets against them, but they teamed up rather than target each other. They both belonged to the core alliance that sent Suzz, Alice, and BK home, and helped to keep each other safe when so many people wanted them gone. Victoria’s overflowing pockets and Izzy’s connections to the opposition allowed them to see the game from all sides and have contingency plans for when things went wrong. Izzy was the one that wound up severing this tie to send Victoria home, but this doesn’t undo how cool it was to see these two titans working side by side for so long.
