**Player Ranking (3rd)**
BK is one of my favorite characters in SurviVARS. They are chaos incarnate, and in that way they kind of defined the tone of Seven Seas. I’ll be honest, I can’t talk much about their gameplay, because it’s been too long and it was already hard to follow as it was! BK is wild, and it’s kind of hard to explain. They have all of the makings of an ORG rock star, and can get themselves into the best situations with ease. But then, without fail, they will always make a risky choice or a bad call and send themselves plummeting from grace. Watching BK is always a roller coaster, but it’s SUCH a fun ride. I would cast BK any chance I get, and I’m so thankful they were a part of this season. Just keep a close watch on your toes when they’re around…

### **Awards**

**Underdog**

This season was hard to follow from a strategic alliance standpoint. This makes our next award even harder to hand out. To have an Underdog you need an Overdog, but this game never had anyone with total control. Still, for much of the game, this player was the complete opposite of having control. From the Brethren Court onwards this player had to fight with their heart and soul to gain any power they could get. Whether they lost their vote, were betrayed, or lost a great ally, they never stopped trying and it made them rootable. So many things went wrong for this player, but they continued kicking and made it as far as you can go despite the odds.

**Best Duo**

This was actually one of our hardest awards to pin down, because it was like no duo actually made it far enough without betraying one or the other. Every duo either splintered, flipped, or one of them got sent home too early to really grow into a power couple. So, this award looks a bit different this season. This pair wasn’t a duo from the very beginning, but they shared a very unique relationship that made them a real force to be reckoned with. They were bitter rivals on their first tribe, and one very nearly got the other eliminated. Still, they bounced back, and wound up making one of the game’s wildest (though unsuccessful) moves. When the third part of their ideal trio was blindsided, the Barbossa Bros rallied to each other. This relationship culminated in the execution of a brilliant move to take control of the game, which was unfortunately ruined by a clutch idol play from Nick W. These two refused to be seen as goats, and this was their chance to prove it. When the move fell apart, they decided to hold their ground and go down swinging, and one of them followed Zach as a victim of the almighty rocks.

#### **Voting History**

**Player Ranking (11th)**
BK was entertainment gold in Seven Seas, and nothing changed between that season and this one. Unfortunately for BK, their chaotic energy wasn’t as welcome this time around, and the cast was playing much more cutthroat. This wasn’t going to be the season where rock draws happened for shits and giggles, so BK struggled to get as much of a foothold as they did the first time around. Still, they had moments of absolute gold, like throwing Biggy under the bus for an Infinity Stone that they didn’t even wind up using. BK followed their Seven Seas pattern of setting themself up well only to knock themself down somehow. This cast wasn’t as forgiving for this type of messy gameplay, so BK (although chaotic and rootable as ever) was unfortunately doomed to be eliminated. Still, this does nothing to change the fact that BK is one of the most entertaining players SurviVARS has seen, and left their mark on our community in more ways than one. It wouldn’t have been an All-Star season without this mad lad, and I couldn’t be happier that they played.

### **Nominations**

**Villain**

BK is a mad lad and we love them for it. They’re utterly unpredictable, and have an uncanny habit of setting themselves up at the top of the game and then doing something crazy that knocks them back down a few pegs. If they were a villain, they’d be the Joker. They weaponize chaos, and have a great time doing it. They aren’t a mean spirit, though, and are usually one of the most trusted players on any tribe they end up on. Which is CRAZY, because they leak everything to everyone and consistently act in their own best interest!! BK was the only one willing to throw their #1 under the bus to get their hands on an Infinity Stone, and that shows you exactly why they deserve this nomination. We love everything they bring to the game, and they’re truly one of the most iconic players in this ORG.
