Milo Ventimiglia
I was never on Milo's tribe, and I'm pretty sure he was inactive. I was just glad that I wasn't the first boot!
Mike Myers
Mike was also inactive, so he was a pretty easy first boot for the Anubis tribe.
Rod Blagojevich
I never knew Rod. I love that he wanted to play as Blagojevich, though... haha.
Kevin Rudolf
Kevin was really a case of too little, too late. He was pretty much inactive for the first couple of rounds. He tried to make amends, but by that point other people had already started strategizing and he was a victim of the time he missed.
Jason Mraz
Didn't know Jason, either. He seemed like a strong player, though, and he and Jigsaw were pretty clearly victims of the 4-tribe redraw.
Jigsaw
I liked Jigsaw. We were two of the loosely-aligned group of active Anubis members, so if he had made the merge it's entirely possible that we would have stuck together for a while. It was a shame that he had to go, but just like Jason it was a result of getting stuck on a three-person tribe with two people from the other original tribe.
Christian Bale
I didn't really know him, either, because he left as a result of the Dare challenge right after the merge. He seemed like a strong player, too, and at the time I was positively giddy that he was eliminated.
Billy Joel
Voting out Billy was really the only time that the old tribal lines came into play. I didn't really care who got voted out as long as it was an old Bastet member, and Billy fit the bill. He seemed like a strong enough player that the vote wouldn't be a waste, and that was enough for me.
Sarah Palin
I liked Sarah an awful lot. There was a brief moment when I wanted myself, Sarah and Hillary to be the Final 3... or at least work together until one of decided that it wasn't beneficial. I respected her an awful lot as a competitor, because in the tug of war challenge she almost single-handedly delayed an Anubis victory for ages until I had some help show up. She's funny, too. I was really sorry to see her go, and I don't think that Terry and Ozzy even realized that I didn't vote against her until later on (if they ever realized at all).
Terry O'quinn
Terry annoyed me a bit. I was totally willing to work with him and the rest of the old Anubis members when we had a 5-4 advantage, but Terry (among others) got greedy and blew everything up. For the brief period when he was in the driver's seat, he was really annoyingly cocky, too. I was ecstatic to see him go.
Britney Spears
I never got a really good read on Britney. She seemed to rely on other players a fair bit, but in my dealings with her she was mostly honest, so I don't have anything bad to say about her. Her getting voted out sucked for me personally because it forced me to win a bunch of challenges in a row or else join her on the jury, most likely.
Hillary Clinton
I loved Hill dog. We were closely aligned from very early in the game, and I was really sorry when she was eliminated, especially since it meant that I had made a strategic misstep as well. She was great in challenges, very bright when it came to strategy, and I definitely appreciated her ability to actually communicate in complete sentences.
Nothing but respect for Hillary.
Ozzy Lusth
Ozzy's an interesting character to me. Pretty much everyone on the original Anubis was aware of the fact that he made alliances with basically everybody. Up until the merge, I felt that I had a better read on him than anyone else and he figured prominently in a lot of my strategic planning. Once he lied to me once, though, I didn't want anything to do with him, at least until the Final Four. I'll give him credit: he got an awful lot further than I thought he would. Frankly, I wish I could be in the Final Two against him. Consider that a compliment, Lady Gaga.
Lex Vandenberg
Lex played a *fantastic* game. I totally underestimated him because a) we didn't have a lot of contact with each other, and b) he was pretty quiet for most of the game. When you guys voted out Britney I never saw it coming, so major kudos for that. Lex also gained my respect as a competitor when we went down to the wire in the word scramble game at the Final 4. Not to mention the final immunity challenge. Massive respect for Lex, which is one of the reasons why I chose to vote him out.
