**Player Ranking (2nd)**

Anyone who has played with Aria knows exactly why she’s ranked so highly. She is one of the kindest and most generous people you’ll find in the ORG community. She is so loved, as evidenced by the endless support coming from people like Jamie in the spectator’s lounge. Besides being a lovely person, Aria is also a total badass within the game. She is, and I’ve said this many times before, the best social player I’ve ever met. From day one, she was in complete control. This wasn’t thanks to any groundbreaking strategy, even though she was good in that regard too. Her control came from her absolute social dominance. She seemed to be in every single alliance, and had connections in every House. No matter who went to Tribal, Aria seemed to dictate the votes (even when she wasn’t in attendance personally). She was the top contender to win for most of the game, which is ultimately what took her out. Her threat level was just too high. Aria, I am so happy that you decided to play my ORG before you retire. Thank you for everything.

### **Awards**

**Fan Favorite**

Beloved. That is the one word I would use to describe this player. They were very genuine about the struggles they were going through, in and out of the game. They are one of the kindest and most genuine people you’ll ever meet in this community, on top of being an absolute juggernaut of a player. Everyone who meets this player is blessed by their attitude, their spirit, and their kindness. Even through their hardships, this player wants the best for everyone around them. Thank you for being true to yourself, and for being kind in this very cold game.

**Player Ranking (12th)**

Plenty of players were robbed this season, but we HAD to give it to Aria. She was one of the top contenders from the very beginning. Just like in Hogwarts, she had a loyal group of followers that were obeying her every whim, and she seemed to be untouchable. She was a massive threat, but nobody seemed to care! Nobody, until Merlin came along. When everyone made their Derrick votes painfully obvious, Merlin took a risk and threw a single vote onto Aria. This single vote took down the queen of the pre-merge and sent home one of the biggest contenders of the season. It was brutal, and was as badass for Merlin as it was heartbreaking for Aria. It remains one of the most “WTF” moments in SurviVARS history, and probably earns Aria the title of Most Robbed player… ever.

### **Nominations**

**Pre-Jury All Star**

Aria dominated her first season, and came back showcasing the same traits that made her great the first time. She was trusted by all, had a killer social game, and seemed poised for a deep run. She was an early leader, and was largely responsible for the Codenames win thanks to her awesome clues (along with BK’s solid guesswork). Then the dreaded SITD play happened, and she was sent packing way too soon. She’s an incredible player, and we all took it for granted that she would probably make merge and slip back into a power position like she had the first time, but this time she wouldn’t be target number one. It seemed inevitable. Looking back, I’m grateful for how much she brought to the game while she was here, and I hope she’s still happy with the game she was playing.

### **Awards**

**Most Robbed Player**

Aria was definitely one of the stars of the pre-merge. She had great social connections, lots of people trusted her, and she had a majority on each tribe she visited. Even in the joint tribals, she was never in danger, even as her OG numbers found themselves in a minority. She was a real contender, had several shields around her, and would’ve done some serious damage in the merge. Then, three things happened. 1: Derrick played a Shot in the Dark. 2: The Shot in the Dark worked. 3: Merlin threw a stray vote onto Aria just in case. Sure enough, the stray vote worked. Aria went from top contender to pre-jury in a heartbeat (while I was at a water park too, so I didn’t even see it happen). Her elimination was truly one of the most heartbreaking moments in this whole season. Who knows how differently this game may have gone if she had survived.
