I've played MANY Stars over the past year and half now and I have had the honor of playing with really great players and some really terrible ones. I don't really know how I am in Stars, but I know that some of the players that I have played with have influenced me a lot, so yeah here is my list.
10. Jouix
He has been in many of my Stars, and honestly he annoys the fuck out of me. However, his constant battle with me in Stars causes me to become a better player and work a lot harder. If he can get a majority, he can become very powerful.
9. VolcomVans
My most recent Stars showcased a huge power struggle between two Stars, however I knew that Kevin was playing both sides pretty well. I didn't really want to call him out on it because he is a great friend, but he did this all the way until 5th place, which is outstanding with the cast at hand.
8. chlltownofcourse
Cory comes in 8th for many reasons. He was in my 2nd Stars ever, and he taught me a HUGE lesson in Stars. My side was depleted very early in the game, and he took me under his wing. I basically sheeped him until F6 when I backstabbed him, and I made finals. If it wasn't for someone later on this list telling me otherwise, I would have let Cory go unnominated.
7. TheSexiestDude990
I somewhat regretfully put Julian on this list. I think he is a good player, but I don't think he is the best at strategics. What makes him stand out compared to other players is his way of making him trust you NO MATTER WHAT. He is a very nice person, so when it comes to him giving his word, you probably should think he is telling the truth. However, this is Tengaged, and people don't really give their word like that.
6. jenzie
Now, like Julian, she is REALLY fucking bad at playing strategically. However, she is the quintessential example of how someone SHOULD play Stars, by playing the public. Her 3 Stars (one coming from my first EVER Stars) wins all come from the fact that she just vlogged her way to the win, bullying and calling out every person that stood in her way.
5. LiteCitrus
Cody is sneaky as fuck, LOL. Playing with him, I think all of us at the F7 felt that he was our Final 2 alliance, that is how good he is at getting people to trust him. I respect him a lot in any game.
4. dorkishbarbi / Kentuckyy
I put these 2 together because they both have the same style of gameplay, and they both can either work very efficiently or can work as a detriment to their game. They are very strong in their gameplay (when they want to try :P), and both are 2 people I respect in Stars all the time. They are proven winners and are possibly both of Stars' greatest Villains.
3. BB5Lover
James is amazing at Stars, and can also be awful. Like others on this list, once he gets a majority, he can easily make his way to finals with no problem. He is just that good at Stars. Even though he gets bored and likes to backstab random people (rofl), he has the gameplay and patience to make it far. If he can focus on a future Stars and really go for the win, he can get it for sure. :)
2. Sebbers
Seb is actually incredible at Stars. Watching him play for the first time on his account now, I was at awe on how stupid he can make people look, but I never would have thought he would make me feel dumb. I was COMPLETELY wrong. He can intimidate someone to the point of no end, and he thinks not only for 1 round, but can easily plan the end game after the 1st hour of the game.
and finally...
1. Survivor8
Mike is amazing. LOL, if there is one person that I can honestly say embodies what Stars is, it is Mike. He reminds me of Boston Rob, tbh. Even though I hated Boston Rob in Survivor, it is hard not to love Mike in Stars. He is clever, charming, and conniving, and that is just after the first round. He knows when to make moves and when to drop people from alliances, and has influenced my game dramatically. I respect him so much, and he deserves to be #1 on not only my blog, but many others.
danielkennedy111 I am the king of guilt trips. And when those don't work I know where to find the cracks and work my way into the group and stealthy start to control it.
