User blog:Zypker124/How To Predict A Winner

So a new season by a new user comes out. You're excited, and you're looking at the 16-24 castaways that are competing in this season. Prize or not, your eyes are focused on one thing; which one of them is going to win? It's always a question people are eager to find the answer to, and typically only the creator himself or herself knows how the game goes. People who perform underwhelming in fantasy league games crave the answers to questions such as "Who is the winner?" Even though it might seem like you only have a 5% chance of getting it correct, there are a lot of ways to increase that chance of guessing correctly. Here are some key elements to look out for: Follow these tips, and you'll correctly predict a winner in no time!
 * Who is on the losing tribe. This is very important when thinking about what a creator will write next. Us fanon creators love writing about the underdog, and we cannot resist showing how a winner undergoes so much and scrapes by to make it to the top. So if a tribe is losing drastically pre-merge, keep an eye out for the remaining people in that tribe.
 * Who you're supposed to be rooting for. There's been rare instances where the person that wins is the person you're rooting against. Fanon writers like to give a hero edit to the winner to show why that person won, so that the ending is satisfactory. A winner's edit is just as prevalent here as it is on the TV show.
 * Who is given a lot of screen time. Similar to the point above, but the people involved in the main storylines almost always go on to win.
 * Who gets a Hidden Immunity Idol. Pretty standard stuff, as it allows the winner to make a move so that he or she will get votes later on in the story. It doesn't even have to be an idol; it can just be some random power.
 * Who wins individual immunity challenges. These people will either go big or go home. We've seen people with immunity streaks go on to win the game. Apparently, challenges are important for getting the winner to the end.
 * Who is smiling. Seriously, don't laugh at this. I don't recall the last time I've seen someone who isn't smiling in their avatar that went on to win the game. Take Eyre Peninsula, for example. Who didn't smile? Oscar. Who was voted out first? Oscar. It may not tell you the winner, but you can narrow down some candidates.
 * The format. I don't mean to imply anything, but whenever a Fans vs Favorites or Fan-Submitted-Castaways vs Creator-Castaways or something along the lines of that happens, a fan submitted character never wins. It's sad, but according to the statistics I have, it rarely happens. So bet on the "favorite".
