User blog:TDIwriter/Sprinklemist: The All-Star Rankings

Ah, another story, another blog post dedicated solely to my own rambling thoughts and highly opinionated opinions. Don't you love the internet? Well, let us begin.

20 Janice - I never really cared for that puppet chick. Violet looked like a supposedly evil doll named "Robert" that resides in my native Florida. I don't know how she made it to All-Stars, she must have snuck in the back. She originally placed 16th, and I'm fairly sure she'll beat her old mark.

19 Fiona - Again, Fiona was never near the top of my list. However, she did have quite a bit of fans, and I totally understand how she made it here. She's not quite as bad as she was in season one, which is definately a good sign for this story. She made 8th the first time, but I don't think she'll match it.

18 Daniel - I liked Daniel, quite a bit. But, he's one of those characters where even if you like them, they don't rank very high, just because you like everyone more, and people mistake the low ranking for you not liking them. Anyway, Daniel was a secondary character in Wilderness, but he was very interesting. I'm glad Brad isn't in, because now he can flesh himself out as a (possibly) major character. Daniel came in 14th, and I think he'll go farther this time, or at least tie his old record.

17 Waterlily - Yeah, she was okay in my book. She had a ton of fans, too. I don't know how I feel about her ending up with Daniel...it brings Gwen-Duncan to mind. The offbeat girl ends up with a guy, who makes a mistake and loses her, then she ends up with the mohawked guy, even though everyone was expecting the old couple to get back together. Fortunately, Waterlily-Daniel is a much better couple. I may be neutral towards it, but I hope it survives the game. Daniel needs somebody to love...(Don't you want somebody to love, don't you need somebody to love? You better find somebody to loooove...) Waterlily had her pain too, which in a way makes them a potentially effective couple (especially with a Jefferson Airplane song as their theme.) Waterlily placed both 17th, and 9th. I think she'll definately beat her 17th mark....and, I think she has a fair shot of at least making it to 9th again.

16 Kristy - Kristy, Sheena's sister. As of now, she kinda of is just Sheena's sister. She wasn't a very developed character in her season, which means two things. One, she probably doesn't belong in All-Stars. Two, All-Stars could give her the development she lacked. Even if she was minor/secondary, Kristy was still likeable. She was a nice change from those bossy leader types. I hope she has a good experience, and works things out with her sister. 10th the first time....I think she'll be out before then, this time.

15 Ivan - Ivan was my least favorite Boney Island, and Sprinklemist character. But, I can surely say that he has improved. I'm not really sure what it is, but he's much more tolerable, and, dare I say it, enjoyable. I have high hopes for the formerly chubby fanboy. He came in 18th in Boney Island, and it seems pretty obvious he'll beat that by a healthy margin.

14 Melinda - Ah, Melinda. You bring back so many fond memories of Reality, the best in the series. This creepy wannabe has finally shed her shell, to reveal the true Melinda-butterfly inside. Melinda is back, and hopefully better than ever. Can she beat the family curse of 9th place that has plagued both her and her brother, Nolan? Probably not.

13 Reeve - Reeve went up and down my list, over the course of Wilderness. At the end, I liked him, and it was interesting that he was actually a foo-foo girly man....don't tell him I said that. I would have preferred Stevie to be in All-Stars, which I think most people would have, but Reeve is almost as good. Kind of like wanting Dr. Pepper, but getting Mr. Pib instead. Reeve probably won't make it to his 3rd place mark, again.

12 Creigh - Creigh was one of my favorites, from Tropics. He was probably my favorite from his team, The Onslaught. However, Creigh has definately changed from the worse. He's gone from cheerful, optimistic Creigh, to bitter, wheelchair-ridden Lt. Dan. Now, I love Lt. Dan, which is why Creigh still ranks kinda high on my list. I hope he comes around. I hope for more Creigh-Sky Lynn time. Secretly, I hoped they would be a couple in Tropics. Creigh has a very difficult vibe to feel out...I think he could rank below or above his 10th place ranking.

11 Kendall - Man, he really jumped up here, yeah? Kendall, like Ivan, was one of my very least favorite characters. I don't like-a the emo people. However, I started liking his character a lot more when he cameo'd in Wilderness. He's improved further, in All-Stars so far. I'm glad I like him now, I felt left out being one of the very few not to rank him high on a list. Ironically, now that I like him, he'll probably be out earlier than 4th.

10 Francesca - Alright, top ten! Francesca was awesome in Wilderness, even if she just barely missed the merge. That's gotta sting. Wouldn't it be poetic if this time, she was the first one out after the merge? Oh, Francesca. She came in 11th in Wilderness, which gives her a lot of room to play around with. Meaning, while it is quite possibly she'll make it to 10th or better, she still has a way's to go before she beats her mark. I think she can do it.

9 Jonathan - He was radical, bro. Well, up until the whole "I'm bipolar, get away from me, Herman". Actually...I hate Herman, so rock on, Jonathan! Jonathan is in the same boat as Francesca, he came in the dreaded 11th place. However, Jonathan did two things Francesca didn't. He made it to the merge, and had pears and apples of character development. (Ever since World Tour, I love saying 'pears and apples of fun'). Because he had so much development, and made the merge, it probably makes it more likely he'll get cut earlier. I hope not, though. Being biased, I'll say Jonathan can beat 11th.

8 Sheena - Well, it looks like Sheena will have two storylines this season. Calling Jonathan fat, and insulting her sister. We all love you, Sheena, even if you point out the things that make us insecure. (Is Acid Tongue your relative, or something?) Sheena rocketed all the way to 14th in Reality, which is extra sucky, because she was my pick to win. Whoever I pick to win, assume they'll be early outs. Sheena is a real fav, so she has a nice chance of going the distance--13th place.

7 Hedda - My second favorite character in Wilderness, after Braaaad. Hedda is up to her old tricks already, with one little twist--she seems to be using her powers for good. Like Clark Kent's glasses, all Hedda needs is a mask that covers 5% of her hair, and she's a freakin' ghost, man. How cool is that? She would have placed higher on this list, but I'm fairly certain she's used enough hairspray to progress Global Warming. Not cool, Hedda. Didn't you learn anything from 80s girl? Too much hairspray is not only tacky, it will end life as we know it. Hedda may or may not recoup her 13th place, she's a tough one to call.

6 Sky Lynn - She was probably my favorite female from Tropics. She was killer, with her beautiful name and legion of random geographically inaccurate animals. Maybe instead of All-Stars, she should be in Super Powered. Manimal Girl!! Sky Lynn is one of the characters that really does belong in the All-Star season. She went far, had a lot of fans, outlasted the villian, and lost before the final five. Truly, a role model. I doubt she'll make 6th again, as this season seems to be more for her brother, Daniel.

5 Al - Possibly my favorite winner so far, his only real competition being Tsuyoshi, (Who I really thought would be here), Al is awesome. I really missed him! I'm glad somebody goofy actually won a season! Though, I seriously, seriously, seriously doubt he'll win again. Al, you and your faux hawk rock, but the odds are just really against you.

4 Yi Min - I really didn't expect him to go as far as 3rd place in Reality, but its cool, because Yi Min was awesome. He was usually near the bottom of my list, just because I loved the cast so much, but he deserves to be here in All-Stars. Will he make 3rd again? No, probably not. Will he continue to make people laugh? Yes, of course. Did he win a car? No. Did that line make me laugh? Yes, yes it did.

3 Quintin - Aww....I knew this would happen. I knew Quintin would be an early out, and I even thought about him being out first. I really didn't want that to happen, as I wanted him and Waterlily back together. Ah, well. I knew he wouldn't make 3rd again, but I had hopes for at least beating his other 16th place ranking. I salute you, Quintin. Even though your run on All-Stars was shortest, it was memorable.

2 Ophelia - Kathy Bates is back, baby! Ophelia was a real show-stealer in Reality, outplaced only by Priscilla and Master D., in my opinion. I am so excited for her return! She really deserved to win her original season, and now she has a second chance! You go, girl!

1 Beau - Beau is one of my all time favorite characters, probably only beaten by Zane and, of course, Micky D. However, like Micky D., I was both excited and afraid he would be in All-Stars. Luckily, Micky has been excluded, so his former glory will remain glorious, but Beau is back...hopefully, he'll be the same lovable guy that we all loved...He came in lucky number 13th in Tropics, out right before the merge. I really hope he makes the merge this time, and beats his old mark. What worries me, is he hasn't done a whole lot yet. On the bright side, what he has done has been fairly entertaining for me. Good luck, Beau.
