**Player Ranking (1st)**

Is anyone surprised? Alice felt like an underdog from the beginning of season one. all the way to the end of it. Alice started on the villains tribe, and watched them get pagonged from basically day one. Despite never being in the front driver’s seat, Alice would always find ways of making the game work for her. She was an absolute challenge beast, winning multiple trips to Amusement Mile and snagging a few clutch immunities. Her idol play managed to keep her safe when she really needed it, and through very strong social connections and a few key votes, she got herself close enough to the end of the game to win final immunity and guarantee a shot at winning it all. The Jury (not to mention the spectators) had an absolute adoration of Alice, so FTC was all but a lock for her. Alice’s confessionals were always witty, and an excellent insight to how she viewed herself and the game around her, along with a tinge of snark. If the Himbo Slice Award existed in Gotham, it would’ve gone to her. We couldn’t ask for a better first winner of SurviVARS. All hail the queen of Gotham.

### **Awards**

**Underdog**

This award was a bit easier, because one player really defines what an Underdog should be. This player is brand new to ORGs, and seemed to never find a foothold in the majority. They played from the bottom, but they did so with strategic and social mastery. To be honest, I’m shocked that they made it as far as they did. So many cards seemed stacked against this player, but they fought their fate at every turn, winning crucial immunity challenges and earning enough advantages to turn the tide in their favor again and again.

**Move of the Game - Flip at F7**

In a season chock full of advantages, only a few were ever played. While both idol plays helped to change the trajectory of the game, there was one move that truly redefined the power structure of the merge, and took power away from the players that were set to win it all. It should have been a 5-2 vote at the Final Seven, with a Final Four agreement that would’ve brought a few power players to the end. Rather than see BiggyBiggs or JRay dominate their way to the FTC, two players decided to flip the game on its head.

#### **Voting History**

**Player Rankings (7th)**

Where does one start with Alice? She was our first winner, and came back with everything that made her great the first time. She’s an incredibly entertaining confessionalist, is capable of absolute savagery, and is also capable of playing the Underdog better than just about anyone. She used a SITD die to save herself, and made it further than anyone thought she would. Unfortunately for her, all of the scrappiness in the world couldn’t save her from the fact that she just couldn’t get a social foothold with the season’s power players. She was consistently on the bottom, which is a hard place to be. Sure, she survived far longer than she should have, but I don’t know if she had fun doing it. It was a blast to watch her, but it looks like she’s left the community for good now. I know she’s disappointed by her Secret War game, but her storyline was still one of the most captivating of the season. I hope she comes back one day, because it doesn’t feel like SurviVARS without Alice around.

### **Nominations**

**Funniest Player**

Alice had a lot going against her in this game much like her first season, but I’m kind of grateful that it worked out this way because it made her confessionals golden. She brought the same Alice sass that made her so entertaining in Gotham, and was a constant gold mine of savage takes and brutal honesty. She’s an incredible player, but she also steals the show with her personality and snark. All three winners were worried about how their reputations might be affected by coming back for a second shot, but Alice just reaffirmed why we all loved her from the start.

**Underdog**

Alice came in with a pretty big threat level, and without the pregame connections that many others had. All-Star seasons are usually filled with people who have already played together, in this ORG and many others. Very rarely do you encounter true strangers in All-Star seasons. For Alice, however, she only knew her OG Gotham squad, and almost half of them were wiped out in the first two votes. Alice really only had herself, and her reputation as a solid winner being held against her. But just like in Gotham, Alice turned up the heat and made her mark. She saved herself in a game of chance with her SITD, but managed to stick around a lot longer than most people thought she would after that. She wasn’t always on the right side of the numbers, but she still kept herself from being the main target. She had more against her than the other two winners, but held her own regardless. It was wild to see all three winners make the merge, and Alice’s narrative was a big part of that. She very nearly saved herself again with the Steal a Vote, but BK’s stray vote and JRay’s extra were enough to knock her out. She was the Underdog Queen of Gotham, and she certainly didn’t lose her crown with how she played in Secret War.
