Player Spec: lex

[Lurker_Ryan]

Yeah AFTER we posted already, as if we were supposed to know. We weren't saying he sucked after that.

Speak for yourself

[Brenda Lowe]

NuLex is extremely impressive, and just what Tamanaco needed. I'm starting to hope they go to TC now. Maybe one more round to mix things up first.

[Lurker_Becky]

Tamanaco must not lose any people before merge.

[Brenda Lowe]

The best thing about Tamanaco is that everyone thinks they are in the majority. It's also the worst thing though :/

Lex has the power to potentially change the whole make-up of the tribe since everyone wants to add him to their majority. He might have *the* best big picture view out of anyone, because err'body wanted to convince him to come to them.

His big choice right now is to join the already five-strong alliance and buys himself three spots of safety, or he could just as easily tell those three exactly what's happening, as well as the bottom one or two of that fivesome, and really shake up the order.

I think he's leaning towards easy-street unfortunately.

[Lurker_Becky]

As long as he chooses Frank's side (who I am sure is in the majority), I don't care.

[Brenda Lowe]

Lex is the type to keep his head in a challenge while everyone else are losing theirs. I really like this guy. Good confessionals too.

[Jeff Probst]

Yea I agree Brenda, I think coming in late has given him a really unbiased opinion. While everyone else is drinking the Koolaid of hte big alliance this guys coming in midway and seeing things from an outsiders perspective. That on top of him being generally a good player I think will give him an advantage.

Le.x.gendary

[Brenda Lowe]

He is seriously an excellent player. He has played once before but his level head makes it seem like a whole lot more.

[Lurker_Becky]

I think he's the most interesting person at this point. I feel like we know the least about him, but I can just tell he's always thinking. I also LOVE that he came in late (not his fault) and is on top of things. I am rooting for him to win over everyone left.

[Brenda Lowe]

Ugh, idk. I think we know the least about him because he's bringing the least sometimes. He does think a lot, but it's all very one-track and he's just not very fluid with his gameplan. :/ He was super interesting to follow while he was setting stuff up, but now that he has, he's just kinda going through the motions the past round or two.

[Frank]

Lex is a cool guy but I really doubt his strategy in this game.

For example that confessional Jeff posted from him after Vee's boot that was just facepalm worthy. Or the fact that he voted Sarah with the reason that she's basically a meanie at 9. I mean really? Closer and closer to the end, and you want to get rid of someone who ruffles everyone's feathers and has basically no power whatsoever?

He has a blindside with his name on it coming in the next few episodes.

[Mia Galeotalanza]

It seems like every season there's a player who not only tanks their own game, but tanks the game of another player with them. Last season that was Dan when he failed to show up for a night where 2 TC's happened and didn't pre-vote, which spelled the end of the game for Jolanda and Tyrone.

This season, that player is Lex. He's walking into either a blindside, if he truly believes what's being told to him, or a really disappointing finish that he can't get out of. Lex will not win this game. And it's frustrating to watch because the bullshit that he's eating up is SO easy to see through.

[Jeff Probst]

lol, its not even that its that the logic doesnt make sense and even when you ask him about it he will tell you the correct answer as if he knows it and then will say something like "BUT I TRUST HIM" ???

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it, if he tanks hard I think it will be fun to watch.

[Mia Galeotalanza]

I'm sorry, but Lex really does suck. I think that we thought he was pretty decent all in the heat of things when so much else was going on, but now that he's been given a little room to shine, he's really flopping. His confessionals are probably some of the most clueless, oblivious, and naive ones I've seen in a while. Linda's are crappy at this point too, but Lex's are worse because he's actually TRYING in them, and he thinks he's doing great all at the same time.

It's sad.

[Brenda Lowe]

inb4 Lex wins by dragging Linda and Gabe to the end

Now granted I have to catch up on the past two rounds confessionals, but like I said in admin, I think Lex' problem is he isn't exciting like he was with arriving late, then again in the NuTamanaco scramble. He is in a solid position here since people look at him and Linda as not a power pair, but a kind of pussy pair lol.

A very reasonable gameplan for everyone would be to target Sean right now because he's such a YUGE TRET, at which point Gabe, Linda & Lex get together and turn on the social Lindsey and the legit tret Gina.

It's just dull to watch play out, because his plan is not just what's best for him, it's also what will ruffle the least feathers, so he goes along with things a lot, and maybe weighs that against how good something actually is for him.

Now I'm gonna go read the confessionals. Watch as I'm miles off.

[Jeff Probst]

You're pretty spot on... I just despise that way of playing "ill wait until the f3 to explain allt he mastermind gameplans I've made. It rarely works and it's been done a bilion times by a million pawns before him. It's not a new thing although he seems to think it is. Every UTR player does that and it sometimes works, rarely...

[Brenda Lowe]

Now I'm gonna go read the confessionals. Watch as I'm miles off.

I wasn't that far off actually. Although he would take Lindsey to the end as easily as Gabe or Linda, and I think that would kill his chances. He will have a hard enough time beating socially decent Gabe already, without bringing social bubble Lindsey into the equation.
