Eva - Goth = I think this one might be more because of the character she chose to portray, but I can't picture Eva as anything but Goth. I think it could also be that her Jury question related to the horror genre itself and the fact that she lost interest in the game a bit... was a bit "dark" in that aspect.
Jack - Normals = Jack is the one person I really didn't talk to, but I know he went out and went out with a fun time. That's something any normal kid would want to do.
Selene - Brains = Selene was very smart and had a lot of knowledge about not just the game and its players but also about what she wanted out of it. She was a strategist and had a plan.
Lawrence - Athletes = Easy, because of his performance in challenges and the fact that people were "physically" threatened by him.
Eric - Offbeats = Had more of a quirky attitude and was somewhat out there; was someone that people didn't always get but definitely had a personality of his own.
Micah - Normal = As much as I personally love Micah, it seems like he didn't stand out in a big way to too many of the people in this game, and so I grouped him in with "normal", because I figure he seems to be to some of the people here someone that was in the crowd, another person in the game. But even those people have their own qualities about themselves that stand out.
Abby - Offbeat = Abby didn't have too many people that were super super close to her, but she did have a few people and that helped her out tenfold. She was someone that I feel some people didn't quite get a grasp on or understand, but don't let that make you think she didn't have her friends in this game, because she did.
John - Athletes = This was the hardest one to put into a "group" for me, but I will explain why. Although tempted to go with "Prep" because he told me he is more preppy in real life, I don't think that matches John to his game portrayal. I put athlete less in the physical sense and more in the competitive sense. I feel like John had the drive and determination to win this game, much like an athlete would have for their own game or a championship. John gave everything a good run and tried out different "plays", and if it didn't work he adjusted his gameplay.
Stefan- Popular = Was well-liked by everyone overall, and fit into a group nicely (whether it be the "Vamps" group, the group with John and myself, or any other group). The way you were voted out was not necessarily a vote itself, but due to Idols. That shows that you were pretty popular in that you did not receive many votes.
Director- John = Easy. John would want things to go his way and would implement ways to get it, plus I know how much this actually relates outside of the game.
Assistant Director- Caleb = Because i'm not going to lie, I definitely like to be in a higher up position and to be more vocal with what I want and how I want things to go. Plus it's only natural that me and John would have to balance each other out and probably clash our opinions and heads together a few times.
Make-Up Artist- Selene = Because she's definitely the best looking one here. Also, I think she's one that if she wants to "cover up" what she's doing, she would know how to do it well. Not to mention, she appreciates another "artist's" work and what was put into it.
Stunt Coordinator- Lawrence = Not to overdo the persona, but because of his physical abilities, he would probably be the one to coordinate the stunts and show us all how it's done.
Actor/tress Main Role- Stefan = You would get a main role because you stood out amongst the crowd and were liked across the board. It would be hard not to give you a main part.
Actor/tress Main Role- Peter = Because Peter is a good "actor". He makes those who he doesn't fully support or like think that he does, while in the same token still maintaining his real persona. He is able to flip "on" and "off", much like an actor.
Actor/tress Minor Role- Eric = Eric would get a minor role because his personality is so unique that it wold be hard to place him in a major role. You're either going to love him or hate him and his part, there's not really any in-between.
An Understudy- Abby = Someone who is more observant and in the background, but still present.
An Understudy- Micah = Same as Abby. Definitely still making an impact and making his way around, but more silently.
"Cut" from Auditions- Eva = Didn't make as big an impact in the game.
"Cut" from Auditions- Jack = Same as Eva, just didn't stand out as much.
"Cut" from Auditions- Anna = I feel like she would go batshit crazy and overdramatic with emotion in the auditions, and so the producers would be scared and cut her from the movie.
Anna- Perserverance = One thing that I WILL give Anna is that she definitely doesn't give up and will keep on trying. She is definitely perservearant.
Caleb- Commitment = I was highly committed to this game and doing what it took to get ahead in it. I gave it my all and honestly never gave up, and I took the time out (when I could) to invest in it and try to do well. If there's anything I was, it was definitely committed. And not to a mental asylum.
Peter- Friendship = I had to assign friendship to Peter because of our own personal bond. I know what I established with him was real and I do truly consider him a friend.
Eva- Discipline = This may seem strange, but I gave Eva discipline because it's now been admitted there was a pre-alliance in this game of her, John, and Sarah. I respect the fact that rather than being dragged along in the game and just helping John get somewhere or get what he wanted done as a free vote, when she lost interest she just went rather than stuck around to be there as a vote for someone who needed her and already had her. I think that required some discipline.
Jack- Karma = Because his elimination fell upon a time where he may have partied too hard, and I definitely understand that dilemma xD. Too much partying can catch up to you, hence "karma.
Selene- Leadership = I assigned Selene leadership because even though she was eliminated, I saw her as someone that was willing to step up and take on that role. She was definitely a leader as opposed to a follower.
Lawrence- Strength = I gave Lawrence strength, once again because of his challenge performance. Although we did kind of suck and it seemed to be a bum round, the way he outshined EVERYONE in the first individual Immunity Challenge (the endurance once) is a shining example of "strength".
Eric- Heart = I gave Eric "heart" because he really had the desire to play this game. He seemed to genuinely want to do well and stick around, and he seemed pretty honest when he did approach you with what he said. He had a lot of heart, definitely.
Micah- Teamwork = I assigned Micah teamwork because he gave his all to his alliance and really did not seem to doubt it for one second. I definitely see him as a team player and willing to do what it takes not only to get himself but the people with him ahead.
Abby- Knowledge = I gave Abby knowledge because to me she was the "silent but deadly" type. (Not to sound like a fart lol) She may have been somewhat quiet and seemed under the radar, but she was not blind or stupid to what was going on. She seems very intelligent.
John- Trust = I assigned John trust because I genuinely feel that he is someone that does put a high value on trust and if you gain his trust, he is willing to go a long way with you.
Stefan- Luck = Has less to do with your game and more to do with your elimination. It's hard not to assign someone that was eliminated the way you were this piece of the pyramid.
-Giza Pyramid Complex (Egypt) --> Eric. Very strange, but I could see him enjoying the pyramids of Egypt and really getting something out of the experience of seeing them.
-Chichen Itza (Mexico) --> John. Can't say I honestly know why. I just see John standing on top of the pyramid like "Yeah I climbed it. So what?" lol
-Christ the Redeemer (Brazil) --> Myself. It's a statue that I've always found fascinating and have always wanted to visit, and I think I need to "redeem" myself in some people's eyes. So it's pretty fitting.
-Colosseum (Italy) --> Jack = He's someone that I think would really fight it out if able to give it his all. I'd like to see how he performed when he needed to be at his best.
-Great Wall of China (China) --> Anna. Because we've had a long and windy road in terms of our relationship in this game. So why not send her on a long walk across the Great Wall?
-Taj Mahal (India) --> Micah. To me, Micah is someone who would honor the traditions of India when visiting the Taj Mahal and also someone who I think would like to visit there the most. It's an awesome place and i'd like to send a good friend if I had the choice.
-Machu Picchu (Peru) --> You. Very serene and unique experience. I'd like for the person that went to truly value the experience and get the most out of it, as it is such a tranquil environment. I think you would be a good candidate.
-Amazon Rainforest (Brazil) --> Selene. Selene is an adventurous and fun-loving person from what I have seen, and seems to make the most of any situation. I could see Selene living the true Survivor experience and just camping out in the rainforest a couple of days, because she wants to.
-Statue of Liberty (USA) --> Peter; Since I live in NY, if he came, we could take a trip to the State of Liberty together.
-Golden Gate Bridge (USA) --> Eva. I just see her as more of a city girl, would probably enjoy Cali.
-Sydney Opera House (Australia) --> Abby. Strikes me as someone that enjoys the arts and would like to visit a place like the Opera House.
-Torre del Oro (Spain) --> Lawrence. I could just see him at the top of the tower looking out the window like he is a king, and loving it.

SEASON ONE
1) Tom - I believe in any All-Star game you need the original winner of the series. He also played an all around strategically dominant game and won a lot of challenges.
2) Annie - The original "threat" in the series. This was the person everyone thought was going to win the came and she came so close to the finals. Definitely deserves a second chance.
3) Pamela - Pamela would be a great addition simply for the antics and drama she brought to the game. Never afraid to speak her mind, but not a weak player either. Pamela would be great for entertainment value.
4) J. Tilly - She was screwed over by an Idol and taken advantage of, and definitely deserves a second chance. Up to that point she was playing a great game.
SEASON TWO
5) Jess - Out of all of the characters the person that portrayed her has played, this was the best performance. She somehow managed to win the game and that deserves props; also, I think it would be great to have all the winners back for the All-Star edition (plus the sneak peek trailer made it seem like that would happen
).
6) Ray - The last "male" standing, and a challenge whore. He would be a good addition and was a definite underdog competitor a lot of people were rooting for.
7) Brenda - Another big "character" in the series that bought a lot of personality to the game. As if the character herself wasn't enough, the person playing her brought even more to it. She was a good gameplayer and would definitely be funny to match with someone like Pamela.
(For the record, only reason Amanda isn't here for two is because she was J.Tilly in season one)
SEASON THREE
8) Aidan - Keeping up with the winners idea, and also he was the youngest winner in the series.
How could you not invite back a child that is a strategic mastermind?
9) Alessa - Gave Aidan a really big run for his money and made the final vote super close. She came so close to winning and it would be interesting to see them square off - or work together - again.
10) Hen"Dy" - Was probably one of the biggest personalities in his season, and was a constant target. Yet, he still managed to make it pretty far in the game, and that says something. It would be cool to see him back, I remember rooting for him while watching.
11) Grandma - Another big character. And she would definitely be the oldest player returning to match up against Aidan and continue Season 3's theme of age group vs. age group. She would bring some entertainment to the game and is one of the many being added for personality.
SEASON FOUR
12) Erin - Played the best all-around game of anyone that season, point blank, period. If anyone is still questioning the fact that she came into the game later and won, this time she can play from the beginning and possibly prove them wrong.
13) Teddy - Was the last one remaining from his alliance and was an underdog favorite. If he won final immunity, it probably would have been Erin voted out and him winning the game. I think he definitely deserves a second shot at the title.
14) Jill - Jill flipped, Jill developed alliances on separate sides... Jill did what she had to do to make it to the point she did in the game. Granted, she didn't make a lot of fans in the process. But it's always natural to have someone like that in an All-Stars season. She played the game, regardless of it made her popular with other people or not.
SEASON FIVE
15) Sidney - Was definitely one of the best all-around games her season, if not THE best. Continuing with the trend of inviting winners back, she would be a definite must. There is no leaving her out.
16) Jill - Jill is right up there with Sidney in terms of gameplay in season five. Jill developed alliances with people, and covered all of her bases. She came extremely close to the win, much like Alessa, and deserves another shot. Most of what she wanted to happen, happened. She was a great strategist and social player.
17) Ross - I have Ross the third spot from this season because of his storyline. He seemed to be constantly fighting to stay in the game, whether it be winning his way back from Redemption, winning immunities once he made it back in, or just doing what it took to get by and racking up the votes while doing so.
(Only reason Casey is omitted is because the reason she left in season give leads me to think that maybe she wouldn't have time for next season, so i'm giving the spot to someone else.)
SEASON SIX
18) Caleb - I do think I would deserve a spot in the All-Stars season. I played this game very hard and I've pretty much explained myself thus far in Jury Questioning, so I don't think I need to elaborate too much.
But I think it would also be interesting to play with Anna again.
19) Anna - As much as I hate to admit it, I do think she would deserve a spot in All-Stars because of how much she stuck out, the immunities she did win, and the fact that she is disliked a lot by some of the people in this game. She's a polarizing character.
20) Stefan - I think you were very well liked and played a great game. You were kind of screwed over by the immunity idols all in play, and I think you deserve a shot at redemption. All-Stars is the perfect opportunity.
(John only omitted because i'm pretty sure I included you as one of the characters from a past season after research)
----
I have to say, I don't think I was delusional of power or let it go to my head. I feel like some people think me saying I had the idols equates to me saying I had power; I didn't. I definitely had a strategy, an alliance, and plans, but never did I think I was controlling this game. Because no one ever was in control themselves. The power was constantly shifting and so was the game being in favor of one person or the other.
As for voting for me, I think i've made a good case in my answers to your questions and the others. I had a pretty good gauge on what was going on in this game, and I played the game to the best of my ability to get myself and the people I wanted in it further in the game.
I don't get exactly what you mean by asking someone about the status of a relationship or trusting people where they stood. I didn't really feel the need to ask someone the status of my relationship with them or others; much like others in this game, I feel we (almost) all had a pretty good idea what each others relationships were with everyone else. As far as trusting people where they stood, it came down to who I trusted the most and who I personally wanted to go to the end with, and that's who I put my total trust in and was willing to give my total word back to, if that makes any sense.
*Whew* finally done... thanks Stefan.
