User blog comment:Tanglefrost/LOMBOK BALLOT VOTING NOW OPEN/@comment-26485526-20181231164335

Since I won the prediction game, I will not reveal if this is a campaign for someone to get votes, or a hype package for said castaway, and as I see there are some people not voting for them right now, please just vote for them by default. But the person on the ballot that I want to highlight is...

 KENDRA VALENTINE!

Say what you will about Kendra, but in my opinion, she was the central character of Grenada, and by far the most complex. She ALWAYS delivered both at camp and in confessionals, and was overall just extremely entertaining through and through. However, the thing with Kendra is that I feel like her story is unfinished and she has plenty of room to expand as a character, with multiple angles that can be worked. Kendra threatened to kill herself if she was voted out on day 8, and she called herself an idiot on day 37 and saying that she didn't deserve to have friends in her final words. Though she said in her exit interview that she is much happier, I think it would be awesome to see a more confident Kendra enter the game. Not only did she say she was happier though, but Adrian Redford of Bermuda had reached out to her, feeling touched by her story, and they are now friends. So not only does she have existing relationships with her fellow Grenada castaways, such as best friend Lulu, the friend she betrayed (Jamie), Samantha "Diabla" Langrick herself, Mackenzie and the guy she betrayed Kendra for (Jason), and the thorn in her side (Ashanda). She also has instant story potential with her new friend, Adrian, and in turn, that opens up storylines with the other Bermuda castaways off the bat given that Adrian is her link to them.

With Kendra being such a dynamic character as well, how fun would it be to see her interact with the acid-tongued Winona and notorious flip-flopper Angela? Or someone that plays as aggressively as Desiree? How do you think Kendra would react if Morris got up on his high horse again and started lecturing/insulting her? Or if Will tried to intimidate her? Maybe Kendra gets jealous because Adrian is spending too much time with his bromance (Jacob) and tries splitting them up? Or if she gets paranoid that the person that manipulated her way to a million dollars (Hazel) is trying to manipulate her like Diabla did? Even Wyatt from Ivory Coast has a similar story given that her friends were assholes just like his "friends" tried so hard to prevent him from following his dreams becoming a scientist and deleting an important paper right before it was due (as he revealed in an episode), so she even has an angle with Wyatt to work if they get in together!

Like her or not, I believe Kendra Valentine is by far the most versatile character in the Tangleverse and therefore must be on a season of this caliber. Call it recency bias all you want, but as a result of this, I strongly encourage those that are not voting for Kendra currently to begin doing so. Thank you.
