User blog:MightyUke416/Final Blog Game Theme (For Now)

Hey y'all!

As you can tell by the title, the next blog game that I will be hosting will be my last, likely for a while.

I just got a new job that I am starting tomorrow, and camping season is coming up, meaning that through the summer there will be weekends on and off in which I will not be able to update, meaning that there's no way I'd consistently be able to keep updating this blog every day while that is going on. I may start this series up again in October/November if my schedule allows for it, and if there's demand, but we'll see what happens in that 5/6 month time period.

For now though, let's get to the real purpose of this blog. I have a five potential themes in mind, but I want you guys to ultimately decide what it is, because after all, you guys are the ones that keep this series rolling, so I will write a little blurb on each, before putting the decision to you. I'm thinking of ending the poll at the same time as the current blog game, Survivor: Rejects, to give you guys time to discuss the potential themes and whatnot as you cast your votes. But I may end it and start nominations/voting a bit early if the poll is decisive.

So, without further ado, here are the themes I have in mind.

Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers
Pretty self explanatory for the most part, especially with this being the theme of season 35. For the Heroes tribe, I would be looking for your typical "Heroes." Good, strong players, that are perhaps also inspirational in a way.

For the Healers tribe, I would be looking for castaways that were very loyal and (for the most part) pretty altruistic, putting the needs of other castaways before their own. This isn't to say that a "Healer" couldn't have played their own, game, but simply that their dominating trait was either their loyalty, helping others, or both.

Lastly, for the Hustlers tribe, I'm looking for scrappy castaways that fought tooth and nail to stay in the game and never stopped playing.

Obviously there are a number of players that likely fit into more than one of those castaways, so if you choose that theme, when I open nominations, I'd want the castaway to be nominated in the category that best fits their game.

Heroes vs Villains vs Tweeners
I'm sure you're all familiar with the classic Heroes vs. Villains format of dividing the castaways. However, what about the people that have both heroic and villainous tendencies. For example, look at players like Jay Starrett from Millennials vs. Gen-X. Sure, he was an underdog that had to fight his ass off towards the end, but at the start of the game, he was cold, ruthless, and a bit drunk with power. So to me, it would seem weird to give him the label of either hero or villain, which would make him a perfect fit for the "tweener" tribe. A nice little twist on a classic formula that I'm sure will spark interesting discussion and great players on all three tribes.

Kings vs Queens
A new take on the Battle of the Sexes format, it would simply be your favourite male castaways vs your favourite female castaways, who are lovingly referred to as "King" or "Queen" in the comments sections of episodes.

Overrated vs Underrated
I believe Bryce did a blog game about this a long time ago (correct me if I'm wrong), but I personally feel that it's always interesting to see who the community thinks is underrated/overrated, and I feel like this theme could spark some nice, healthy debate. Besides, as I said, it's been a long time since this theme was done, which also means many more new fanons and characters to add to the discussion.

Uke's Choice
Do you guys trust me? This theme is very simple, I will be nominating castaways that I personally feel have been robbed from the chance to compete in this series thus far, and you guys will make the decision of who gets in based on who I nominate.

Poll
There you have it, please vote in the poll below for the theme that you guys want to see used in the final blog game of the series (at least for the next few months):

Heroes vs Healers vs Hustlers Heroes vs Villains vs Tweeners Kings vs Queens Overrated vs Underrated Uke's Choice

Please leave your thoughts on the potential themes below, and I'd love to also hear about which (preferably) new castaways you'd like to see and what tribe you'd like to see them on. Have yourselves a great day/evening everyone!
