Kat

**Kat** is a castaway from Survivor: Transcaucasia where she played with Kyle.

Kat was one of the strongest players on Transcaucasia. Her social game allowed her to maneuver throughout the season with her partner Kyle. As things moved along she slowly became the biggest jury threat. Unfortunately after her partner was taken out at Final 7 the odds were stacked against her. Using a big idol bluff she almost succeeded in saving herself, but sadly no one would give in to her claims. Despite everyone complaining that she was about to idol out Rye, it ended up that the idol was fake and she went home 4-1-1.

Toast

**Toast** is a castaway from Survivor: Antelope Canyon and Survivor: Pico Cão Grande.

A silent figure on the Akvo tribe, Toast survived the onslaught of losses his tribe experienced by staying under the radar throughout. However, at the One World double tribal, Toast failed to make connections with the other tribe, and was voted out 3-1 after his allies chose the more reliable Zachary over him.

Toast's tribe in Rising Stars had much better luck, but it didn't last. After winning the first two challenges it seemed like Toast was on track to make it far. Unfortunately at the triple tribal council, Toast ended up leaking the original vote which caused his allies to turn on him, leading to him being the first voted out player from Pedra.

Rye

**Rye** is the Fan Favorite of Survivor: Transcaucasia! She played with Axel.

Playing a fairly quiet game, Rye was able to make it very far in her season. Before the merge she focused on forming connections with her tribemates, which would help her later on. At the merge she stayed under the radar, not trying to rock the boat. However, people started to catch on to her threat level around Final 6, and when the vote tied the round after, she couldn't convince Courtney to keep her around.

Jan

**Jan** is the Sole Survivor of Survivor: The Badlands. He later played on Survivor: Salar de Uyuni

One of the more villainous players, Jan flip-flopped constantly throughout The Badlands. Jan started out tanking his tribe’s score in the first immunity challenge and was only saved from elimination due to the counter-machinations of Patek, with Caine flaming-out. After this, Jan kicked it into overdrive. At merge he flipped on his alliance, forcing rocks and completely shifting how the merge went for everyone involved. Afterward, he flipped again back to his old allies, convincing them to take him to FTC. Once he was there, Jan pulled off an amazing FTC performance. This all combined earned him the win in a 6-2-0 vote.

Playing an even more impressive game in All Stars, Jan was able to keep his villainous streak going. He misted several people on their way out, winning immunities as the biggest threat in game. Despite being left out of a few votes, Jan stayed strategically strong. He betrayed several people throughout the season and sent several players home. At reunion, after being sent home unanimously at the F5, Jan earned the Best Villain award yet again.

Jan's two performances across PS has solidified himself as one of the best players of all time, consistently showcasing his clever strategic gameplay and villainous skills.

2 T butter

4 oz cream cheese, softened

⅔ cup sour cream

¼ cup whole milk (or heavy cream)

¾ t salt

Additional butter (optional)

Fresh parsley (optional)

Paprika (optional)

Place potatoes in a large stockpot and add enough water to cover potatoes. Bring water to a boil, cover with lid, and reduce heat to medium and let cook for about 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and water.

If preferred, peel the potatoes (I usually just leave the peels on) Put the potatoes in a large bowl and mash with potato masher.

Mix in butter, cream cheese, sour cream, milk and salt until completely combined.

Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Scoop mashed potatoes into the prepared pan.

If desired, brush the top of the potatoes with additional melted butter, fresh parsley, and paprika. If you are making these potatoes for later, cover the potatoes and refrigerate (these are fine made up to 24 hours in advance).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are heated all the way through.

Survivor: Transcaucasia

**Survivor: Transcaucasia**, stylized as **Survivor: Transcaucasia - Blood vs Water**, is the eighth season of Poison's Survivor. Courtney ended up winning in a 4-3-1 vote over Axel and Josh! Rye was awarded Fan Favorite!

The first dip into the Blood vs Water format, Transcaucasia ended up being a really fun season. With a slow pre-swap, the game picked up with the losing streak of the Karabakh tribe. At merge the chaos ensued and several amazing characters came out to play, and emotions ran high.

## Twists

* **Blood vs Water:** Players competed against their partners that they applied with before the season started.
* **Idol Hunt:** The castaways had to go through an idol hunt themed after the process of wine making in order to earn the idol. For the final step they had to send their partner a puzzle to finish in order to earn an idol for themselves.
	+ However, once one person made it to the end of the hunt, their partner could no longer progress in the idol hunt.
* **Tribe Expansion:** On Day 10, the tribes were swapped and a new tribe was introduced into the game; Karabakh.
* **Split Tribal:** At the Final 10, the tribe was split into two groups of 5, Group A and Group B. Both groups went to tribal council and voted one person off.

Ranger

The Ranger is the master of long range combat, having the highest Ranged Attack bonus, making it a must to use either a bow or crossbow in combat. They are really mobile and can deal a huge amount of damage from afar but they are also fragile in the sense that a few good hits may end their run pretty easily. As they can't cast spells they should take advantage of wands and runes, but they're not as pressed to do it as warriors due to their long-range attacks.
