User blog:Reddude/All-Stars 2 Blog



Nearly two years ago, nine users participated in the very first season of Redvivor. A year later, fifteen users played in the series' very first All-Stars season. And now, almost another whole year later, it is time for a new group of All-Stars to go to war.

Hey, all! Reddy here, and this is the blog I've been talking about o nchat for the past few weeks! For the next season of Redvivor, my fourteenth season, I'll be calling back 16-18 castaways from seasons past (Mostly from India onward) to play for the title once again! There's a lot of planning that goes into returnee seasons; figuring out who should be cast, figuring out how to represent all of the seasons somewhat evenly, and then figuring out a time where the entire cast is available to play. I've already done the first two things on this list, which means it's time for this blog!

But before we get into all of the less-than-exciting logistics of scheduling, let's first meet the prospective cast of the second All-Stars, Redvivor: Greece!

Pre-All-Stars
Yejide (Reddy vs Fire) -- An iconic player in the now-defunct FireVivor series, Yejide now has the unique opportunity to continue her legacy. Will Yejide be able to fight her way to the end this time and prove once and for all that, where there’s a sway, there’s a way?

India
Kris -- Known for her calm, cool, and collected gameplay, Kris was able to navigate the game by make a multitude of connections and sacrificing her allies at all the right times, leading to her becoming Redvivor’s first unanimous winner. Will Kris’ gameplay the second time around be enough to secure a second win?

Taystee -- Playing alongside her friend Poussey, Taystee dominated the game strategically and physically, controlling many of the season’s votes and winning immunity twice on her own. When she and Poussey reached the final three, however, the jury had lost all respect for them and Taystee was curb-stomped, receiving zero jury votes. Now that she’s flying solo, will Taystee have what it takes to make it to the end for a second time?

Melisandre -- One of Kris’ allies throughout the game, Melisandre allowed the Lord of the Light to guide her through the game, enabling her to accurately predict Kris’ win early on in the season. Melisandre’s game to an end when Kris rolled the dice and played a chalice on her, which wound up tipping the scale and sending her home over Poussey. Will Melisandre continue her faith in the Lord of the Light, and has a win for her already been foreseen?

Angola
Fauna -- A cheery and excitable Redvivor fangirl, Fauna was a member of the BlueRoom alliance with her friends Claire and Bluedude. As her allies were voted off, Fauna managed to survive by being seen as a nonentity, with the majority always having their sights set on a much more obvious threat. This led to Fauna making it to the final two, and in one of the most shocking reveals yet, her beating Aphrodite 4-3 after Maritza and Gloria had a communications breakdown as to who they were voting.

Marianna -- A fan favorite and key member of the SpanishHarlem alliance, Marianna talked her head off in Angola-- in Spanish. Despite the language barrier, Marianna managed to make a lot of connections that brought her to the final three, where her game came to an end after Aphrodite viewed her as more of a threat to win than Fauna. Will Marianna be able to finish the game out this season, or will her prior popularity make her a gigantic bullseye?

Dionysus -- Dionysus is infamous for his #DangerDionysus blindside against Alfe, which threw the Angola season into an absolute tailspin. Partnering with Aphrodite to form the pivotal GreekGods alliance, Dionysus flipped back and forth, decimating the other alliances before Aphrodite pulled the rug right out from under him, blindsiding him at the final four. Will Dionysus return with a vengeance, or is he a mere one-trick pony?

Gloria -- The leader of the SpanishHarlem alliance, Gloria ran a tight shift, slamming her butcher knife at every opportunity and not taking crap from anyone. A victim of Dionysus’ flipping, Gloria’s Chicas and Putas jury speech is also remembered for being the reason Fauna won the game. This go-round, will Gloria be the chopper-- or the chopped?

Sweden
Zac -- A young guy who appeared to be very disinterested in the game, Zac went from having a showmance with famous pop icon Melaine to being turned into a cute little bunny rabbit by Eglantine. Despite being a rabbit, Zac managed to survive to the end by being cute and cuddly, winning in a landslide vote against the other finalists who the jury either hated or found boring. Will Zac’s lax gameplay get him the 'W' once again, or will it ultimately become his downfall?

Max -- With a small name accompanied by a big ego, Max game into the game claiming to be the personification of EVIL! Despite his attempts to prove his EVILness, Max couldn’t help himself when it came to Zac being turned into a cuddly wittle wabbit. He met his match at the final five when he found himself in the minority, but no matter; EVIL does not need the approval of such minuscule reality shows… Except this one. Will Max and EVIL prevail on his second try, or will a small, furry animal thwart his plans once again?

Eglantine -- An elderly lady with a penchant for magic, Eglantine was decently popular among her fellow castaways. This old lady was no novice at the game, voting in the majority numerous times and only meeting her maker after her intended target, Dexter, played a hidden immunity idol. Rather infamously, Eglantine is known as the hand that turned Zac into the cute little rabbit that went on the win the season. Will Eglantine have that magic touch ready for when she returns, or is she doomed to failure?

Redemption Island
Chadrick -- An extremely passionate fitness coach whose physical prowess and sheer determination helped him overcome all the odds to become the last one standing. A member of the majority alliance, Chadrick managed to keep people on his side throughout the game by motivating them with his rigorous ab workout program, BROGRAM™. In the end, all of his (quite literal) hard work paid off, as he beat his close ally Fortune-Teller in a narrow decision at the final two. Will Chadrick make these all-stars burn extra calories if they want to beat him, or will they wuss out and send him packing?

Lindsay -- All beauty and no brain, Lindsay graced her fellow competitors with such qwuirks as misremembering their names and voting completely wrong at certain Tribal Councils. Through it all, however, Lindsay’s harmless demeanor was seen as threatening by the other castaways, especially Genevieve, who engineered a 3-3-3 tie vote which ultimately ended Lindsay’s game soon after the tribes merged. Seen as hot memorable enough to return in the eyes of ReddyProbst, will Admiral Her Hotness herself be able to charm her way to the end, or will her unpredictable nature scare the others away?

Egypt
Cristina -- A calm and cool girl, Cristina’s 1950s-vibe helped her come into her tribe’s good graces, cementing her in the majority alliance as well as ReddyProbst’s heart. When the tribe’s merged, however, Cristina’s alliance went down in flames after her arch enemy, Avery, flipped to the opposing tribe with SleepingBeauty. As her alliance was systematically wiped out, Cristina pulled off an unprecedented immunity run, winning four straight immunity necklaces before she eventually lost and was swiftly voted out. Will Cristina manage to live up to her former glory, or will her immunity run paint a huge target on her back?

Avery -- A young teenage boy on a quest to destroy the Social Pyramid, Avery fittingly found himself in the minority of his tribe early on. After their tribe won most of the immunity challenges, Avery and his closest ally, SleepingBeauty, jumped ship on their tribe at the merge, dooming their former tribemates. This lead Avery to have a rather heated conflict with Cristina, who managed to survive Avery’s flip thanks to her immunity run. Avery ultimately met his end when he failed to beat Cristina at the challenge. This time, will Avery finally be successful on his crusade to overturn the social pyramid, or die trying?

Cook Islands
Consuela -- A housekeeper speaking broken English who wanted nothing more than to clean the world with her bottle of Lemon Pledge, Consuela became a popular character among the cast of her season very early on. Her simple yet effective strategy of sticking with her original tribemates Anita and Claire brought her to the final four, where outsider Sugar’s burning hatred for Anita was enough for her survive to the end and win in a near landslide vote. Will Consuela once again clean the floor with the competition, or will her prior success be the subject of the other castaways’ envy?

Linus -- Coming into hsi season, Linus was a nervous wreck, unsure of what to do or how to approach such a tumultuous game. Despite his anxiety, however, Linus fared well in the game, putting himself in the majority alliance and slowly learning how to be confident in both himself and his decisions. Just as her was starting to come into his own, however, his time was cut short. Will Linus return as a more confident and competent competitor, or did his abrupt failure turn him back into a nervous wreck?

VISIGHOST -- A ghost who just wanted everyone to see him, VISIGHOST was one of the most popular contestants on his season. VISIGHOST navigated the game asking people if they saw him or not, and was so overjoyed when they did that he formed alliances with them. Both being misunderstood, VISIGHOST formed a tight friendship with Ribbit, who turned out to actually be a princess. VISIGHOST’s time was cut short when he fell victim to the purple rock at the merge vote, devastating both the cast and host alike. Will VISIGHOST’s return see him finally reach the end and be seen by all, or will he be an early casualty and NOT be seen?

Acceptance
Alright. So, basically, if you saw a character of yours up there-- comment below if you accept the invitation to play! I feel like the cast is pretty strong, but I am willing to listen if you feel like you'd be better playing a different character this season (I swapped out Mary/Myra in the original All-Stars for Marianne/Phill, which turned out amazingly).

NOTE: If Most of the cast shows up, meaning 2-3 people don't show up, we will still play the season. I intentionally made the cast a little on the larger side so that we would have a buffer for no-shows.

Time
I am flexible on when the game is played. The days I think would be the best suited for play are: Please comment below which of these days is the most convenient for you. If Saturdays are better suited towards most people, I will do my best to work find things out regarding my real life schedule and something will be worked out.
 * February 6 (Friday)

 * February 19 (Friday)

That's all, folks!
