Sorry it's been a bit since I posted my thoughts on Disventure Camp: Carnival of Chaos as we've reached the final four of the season! Below are my rankings so far through 22 episodes and my thoughts on the four remaining contestants and the others that were eliminated since my last post which was the final 8 episode:
Anastasia - Definitely one of my favorites from this season as she's become more of an Anti-Hero than a straight up villain which I'm cool with since I tend to prefer them as characters to root for. I think she's got a great chance to make the final 3, but I don't know if she'll got further than that as I feel the jury isn't on her side for the most part as only Marissa is a sure fire vote for her of those already on the jury. However if she wins the final 3 challenge then she will be a fierce competitor to beat in the final 2 and has a good chance if its physical.
Hannah - I've got the sneaking suspicion she's gone at 4, but she does have some support on the jury and probably could get past that vote if she was matched up against Anastasia only. I think she for sure loses a vote against Logan or Jade. It was nice to see Hannah make up with Amelie and become more like herself before Amelie's elimination, but she's still complaining about the whole she didn't know what she was signing up for dialogue which gets annoying after awhile which is why she's my least favorite of those left. Still a decent character, but not my favorite.
Jade - My winner pick of those remaining as she's played the best game to this point of those in the game. Her decision to betray Isabel at 5 is not only a strategic masterclass to help her with the jury, as she now has an advocate on the jury more reliable than Spencer, but she's also put herself in Anastasia's good graces along with Logan which gives her votes to get past the final 4 barring a twist where the immunity winner has the sole vote to eliminate. She's not the biggest character, but I find her scenes enjoyable especially with her helping Logan overcome his fear of the water, and her enjoying the baby turtles hatching scenes. I fully expect her to make it to the Final 2 of the season where she'll compete for the win.
Logan - Still my favorite character of the season despite his wishy-washy voting strategy. He's made himself look really dumb, which he is, but also he's friends with a lot of those on the jury and can easily get past the vote if he has to be subjected to it. While I want him to win because I love dumb jock character types, I think he's either out at 4 or he loses the final 2 challenge to Jade. Still if he's the mystery person to return in Season 5 I'll be happy since that means I get to see more of him playing the game!
Eliminated Contestants:
Isabel - Really shocked that she was eliminated in 5th as I expected her to be the final villainish charcter remaining in the final 3. She's grown on me from the predictable hidden villain character into a snarky anti-hero/villain who becomes worried about how she's viewed because of her online presence and religious beliefs. She's a very well-layered and humorous character that wore me down until I promoted her to S tier. She's a wonderful character and I wouldn't mind if she was the character returning for season 5.
Amelie - She was great as always and wasn't a waste of a returner spot as she was a good support character to get Hannah back to her old self, and also as a problem for Logan to get past since she figured out his betrayal of Anastasia that he pinned on Zaid. Still she didn't give off winner vibes and 6th was a good spot for her to finish in. Despite this finish she didn't really do anything more iconic to move her up past a B tier for me.
Zaid - And finally we get to Zaid who went out in 7th. He never was the focal point of the season story and ended up being used as the support character for more overaching stories such as Anastasia's betrayal by Logan, and Hannah's punching bag since Benji's elimination. He did have a good friendship with Logan briefly, but Logan's decision to blame him showed they weren't all that close, and his gloating over Isabel in the maze challenge wasn't a great look for him. He's a good B tier character, but he didn't really do much most of the season other than his love plot and trying to figure out who he could be friends with during the merge.
