Cast Reveal

Jill is this Dan Jill wedding going down still

Was I the only person who sought out the IDs of the vets?

Like, I knew all bar Erica.

I did the same thing! :P

Who is Duck in AusStranded? And as if there are so many Aussies here bahahaha.

I let Brenda do the casting.

I definitely didn't play as socially as I did in AusStranded, I blame timezones (although apparently this is half Aussies anyway so no excuse). I kind of got the feeling I was a goat but I had fun playing anyway! Thanks guys :)

I really didn't care about the vets. I didn't see things as vets vs newbies so what they did in their season I wasn't concerned with

Russell - 7th Place
(Played by TooManyNachos - ORGY)

Mia says: There's no hiding it. I'm a known schtick hater. And I definitely wasn't a fan of yours. But EVENTUALLY I got over that, and you were pretty great. I think right in round one of Palena you were able to pull together the most promising majority and you likely would have run that tribe from behind the scenes. You still managed that after the swap(s), but you kind of turned into the biggest "will he/won't he" of the season. You ALWAYS had a plan, and then just nothing ever happened. Until Holly, of course. The other unfortunate part for you was that Jolanda was supposed to go at the Final 7, but when she won immunity, you were toast. BA-LINDSIDE.

Brenda says: Ugh, I was very hot and cold over you here Russell. There were times when I was just fanning (I don't use that word lightly) over your positional play and how easily your multiple paths to the end were set, but then other times where I was just screaming at you to actually do something! You had Yve flagged as *the* threat to win about ten rounds before everyone else (except Jane, Jane called that shit back in round 2 bitches) yet couldn't or wouldn't do anything about it. Yusyus ik ik, stupid players wouldn't listen, but I think part of it also has to be you not wanting to put yourself in danger by sticking your neck out with a big move or a commitment to anyone. I don't know how many times players went from "Yay Russell is with us" to " idk, I don't think Russell is with us..". And then just as you were finally stepping your game up out of the shadows bam, too little too late and you were on the Jury. :/

Fun Fact: That this Season has returning players at all is all thanks to Russell. After Poody & TMN & I all played in FML's Phillippines together, Poody wanted "Katie" to play in Stranded so bad. After Cast Reveal he found out Katie was actually Russell here, who'd played before but had obviously improved as a player since. And so the format was built around him :D You will get that win sooner or later Russell. You are more than good enough.

I checked who everyone was but most of them were people I hadn't ever played with anyway

Lol

I AM SO GLAD MY ID ON YOU WAS WRONG.

Who did you think I was HoHo?

ps Thanks for getting kicked out of CDI, you and Kim could have easily taken down us Esprits earlier than we were.

Only the biggest douche over there in Aus land. Rob.

Don't thank me for getting kicked out. Blame the stupid recruiters.

Unfortunately I am a straight male Dan... hate to break it to you.

I am still pissed though Yog that I am freaking Jane I despise her and I'm glad I was nothing like her. Sucks to be forever memorized as her. <_<

I say it was fun playing with Russell

I definitely didn't play as socially as I did in AusStranded, I blame timezones (although apparently this is half Aussies anyway so no excuse). I kind of got the feeling I was a goat but I had fun playing anyway! Thanks guys :)

Timezones? Bitch please.

I woke up at 4:30 AM for CDI every day for nearly a month.

TMN Sorry we could not work together, but I think you are completely awesome!

Russell

By the way is anyone here a hot gay guy because I think I was the best looking real person here. minus ducks of course

Omg I hated Russ's schtick at the beginning, but grew to love it! <3

Our stranded characters can me together in our hearts

Jolanda - 6th Place
(Played by ChuckietheDuckie - ORGY/SurvivorSucks)

¡Hot Tamale!

Mia says: #Jolandomination! Where do I even start, girl? As I'm sure you're aware by now, you were easily the biggest trainwreck right ouf of the gate. If the tribes stayed the same, you would have been toast. I can definitely appreciate the fact that you tried to tone yourself down to come off as less threatening, but seriously, what were you thinking? You'll probably have fun reading the host blogs and seing how frustrating it was for us to watch you. And then a miracle happened. Suddenly Jolanda kicks it into high gear! I'm not sure, but I think I was the first one to predict that your strategy of being a woman of so few words might actually pay off and put you in a much better position, and that's exactly what happened when Wendy Jo approached you. After that, you clawed your way back and ended up being in the middle between both sides of the Palena alliance where you could safely call the shots. Your plan to let Holly take all the heat was BRILLIANT, and it would have paid off if it weren't for Jake's idol/Dan missing the double tribal. You were amazing, girl!

Brenda says: Read the blogs. #Jolandomination all over it. @2 episodes in, #18 in the rankings (yes behind both Jimmies :o ), @4 episodes in, #1 (these rankings may or may not exist only in my head). And from there she just went from strength to strength. The catalyst was WendyJo and Jake's info, and her partnership with HoHo just cemented her as the best player for large portions of the game. I think her best run is right around the merge where she was in a great position of power and even though she didn't want to, seemed to be the driving force and the sane player keeping that NuPalena mess together as one cohesive bloc. She rightfully wanted Holly kept in as the 'bigger target" and it worked out perfectly when the flip finally happened, she survived. I think I'm just parroting Mia now Jolanda was a star and ten times the player she was in CR.
