Starz

Starz is a contestant on Visionary Survivor: Ring of Fire.

## Ring of Fire Summary

Starz is a player who tends to always have the right ideas, but consistently ends up with the wrong results. After the anarchy phase ended Starz landed in a decent spot in a majority alliance of five on the Pink tribe. Throughout the pre-merge Starz was left consistently playing an under the radar game while really trying play more middle of the road. This was because while his social game was strong, for whatever reason it never ended up being too effective. In most situations that people worked with Starz, it was due to them needing his vote to pull off a move as opposed to them actually looking out for his best interest.

With the Pink tribe never attending a tribal council within the first two weeks of the game, Starz was given the time needed to grow more confidence in where he stood with the tribe. Whether or not that confidence was false is debatable. As the beef between Axis and Wyatt thickened, Starz found it very difficult to decide who to believe and who to side with when talks of the idol were brought up. But ultimately, when the damage was looking irreversible for Wyatt Starz flipped on him despite him being one of his closest allies. This became the first of numerous situations in which Starz settled for a vote that wasn’t his preferred choice in order to stay loyal in the eyes of the majority.

After losing the final pre-merge challenge, Myth went on a bit of a power trip. With an idol in his pocket, that was perfectly concealed because no one knew about it and everyone assumed Wyatt left with it in his pocket, Myth wanted to make a move. Jay’s target was Starz, someone who had arguably fallen to the bottom of the Pink tribe’s totem pole as a result of Wyatt’s elimination and the person Jay had the weakest relationship with. But out of fear of Jay and Clasper’s tight bond, Myth wanted to make a move. With only six people left on the tribe, Myth wanted to make sure his plan wasn’t leaked, so he sacrificed his idol instead of going for a 4-2 majority. Knowing that Axis, Clasper, and Jay were all voting for Starz, he played his idol on Starz and successfully idol’d out Jay alongside the votes of Starz and Travis.

Coming into the merge Starz was left in an interesting spot. He had just been saved by Myth sure, but he had also just gone through the realization that he wasn’t really as safe on the Pink tribe as he thought he was. So Starz’ strategy was to do what he did best; socialize. Only this time, he was more concerned with developing good relationships with the former Nani tribe members. This worked incredibly well, as he arguably developed the best relationships with the former Nani tribe members out of any of the former Pink tribe members. He most notably was able to get close with Jonathan and Lorelei.

After landing in the minority of Myth’s blindside, Starz was able regroup and find himself within the numbers as Travis was eliminated unanimously at the following vote due to his fight with Axis. Additionally, Starz was a crucial number in the blindside against Jonathan at the final eight. By the final seven Starz had gone from one of the least threatening people in the tribe to one of the most threatening for that very reason. Lorelei was aware that after a big blindside against a powerhouse player like Jonathan, lower threat type players were naturally going to feel inclined to band together play off of the momentum to take out more threats. So, despite Lorelei having such a good relationship with Starz, she knew she needed to cut him off before he had any chance of doing this as he was arguably in the best position to make a move from the bottom. With the help of her former Nani tribemates along with Axis and Clasper, Starz was successfully blindsided in a unanimous 6-1 vote.
