**Player Ranking (12th)**

Oh man, where to start… I feel like I need to say thank you. Derrick is one of my favorite people in ORGs, and I feel blessed that he graced SurviVARS with his crackhead energy. It’s not every day that a player is so quotable and chaotic that they earn their own dedicated channel. Did he use his confessionals? Not really. Did he use much strategy? Can’t really say that he did. Was he an easy vote? Yeah, pretty much. But man oh man was he entertaining. Plus, he did find an advantage in the Safari within a couple of hours, which I literally didn’t think was possible, so that’s quite the achievement. Derrick provided a lot of the pre-merge’s entertainment, and even though he didn’t make it very far, he remains one of the most memorable characters from this season.

### **Awards**

**Funniest Player**

This award was one of the easiest decisions we could have made. This person brought a completely unique energy to this game that we don't usually see in ORGs. In a season filled with strategists and social legends, this person just enjoyed every moment they were in it. I have never seen such pure, unabridged crackhead energy from a player before. They were constantly spewing absurd and funny quips, and saying the most random (if not entirely appropriate) things, so much so that they were given their own channel to record these moments.

**Player Ranking (14th)**

If SurviVARS had a “Most Improved” award, it would go to Derrick in a heartbeat. When he played the first time, he was just the funny kid that said uncomfortable things. This time around, he was hellbent on changing that perception. Don’t get me wrong, he still brought the Derrick energy we all know and love, but this time he had the motivation to match it. He didn’t end up with much power, which is why he didn’t make a deep run, but he had as much heart as anyone else this time around. He was constantly thinking about which moves could get him ahead, he just didn’t have the manpower to pull them off. Still, he was able to escape a few close calls (including a successful Shot in the Dark play) and impressed us all way more than any of us were expecting. I’m so glad that he came back a second time to show us all what he was really made of.

### **Awards**

**Pre-Jury All Star**

We all know that Derrick is a fun character. He won Funniest Player in Hogwarts for a reason, and we knew when we brought him back that he would bring that same energy. Or at least, we thought we would. What we didn’t expect was that this Hogwarts pre-merge boot would come out swinging as much as he did. Of course there was still the same chaotic and lovable Derrick that we expected to see, but he topped that off with gameplay that far outpaced what he accomplished in Hogwarts. Of this entire cast, I would say Derrick is the one that improved the most from their first game to now. He came out to prove himself as more than just a silly goose, and he definitely did.
