That's right, it's time for some goddamn awards! Starting with...
BIGGEST HERO
GABE!
As I said in his AS entry, Gabe was easily the biggest P force in this game, with happy go lucky confessionals (well...as happy go lucky as you can get in this game,) as well as just how good he was socially with everyone. I don't think I can recall him saying anything truly terrible about someone in his confesh, which is a very tricky thing to do, so A+ to him on that!
This one is a no brainer. From her post mutiny smear campaign against Davis to her foul mouthed confessionals to her hatred of many different people in the cast, Morgan just screams villain, and it by far the most obvious choice for this award.
This one was close between Burton and Coach, both very good challenge competitors this season. However, I'm giving the edge to Burton on this one because his late game immunity run assured him a place in the Final 2, and helped him avoid possibly coming in third or fourth.
This alliance, formed on Day One by Coach, Shirin and Sash, managed to actually stay (mostly) loyal to each other while others around them crumbled, and remained loyal until all but Sash remained. By far the most visible group within the game that wasn't super huge like a few others.
While theoretically this could be given to Morgan vs. anyone, but her rivalry with Danni was the most notable. There was no love lost between these two, especially after Morgan's mutiny to Read.
It was mostly settled among the Amistad members that Kim would be the next to be voted out. However, this did not align with Burton's plans, so about thirty minutes before the deadline he convinced his alliance to switch their vote to Ciera, and while it confused the hell out of me when it happened, once I learned why it happened I know understand why it did.
These two live challengers were hilarious to watch play out. No one seemed to land a single shot for the longest time, to Remember the Past's hilarious answers (Tunnel Snakes Rule!/8======D~) these two challengers were some of the most fun I've had as a viewer/host.
I will not mince words when I say that no one was happy to see Ace go home. One of the handful of relative newbies to enter the game, watching Ace get into the groove of the game was so fun to watch, and wrote some damn good confesionals too. Sadly, he was never picked by his tribe captains to participate in challenges, and after Hali played her idol to save herself it was Ace who got the short end of the stick, sadly.
Stacey was originally supposed to play in Season 2 of Pure, yet never received her acceptance into the game, so she applied again for Season 3...where she proceeded to never confess, and was saved by Shipwreck Lagoon from a TC where she surely would be voted out (RIP Dan.) While she promised to confess, by the she was voted out, she never did, so I was glad to see her go.
Morgan was feeling at the bottom of the totem pole at Davis, so when the opportunity presented itself to leave, she took it without hesitation, flipping to Read and pretty much setting in motion the dynamics of how most of the game would proceed from there, including Davis' three IC losing streak.
