If you could have any partner...

[amplify26]

I was actually planning to do this before I rewatched E6, but I don't see why not. I don't have a good recollection of the season, but here it is! Almost ten years to its first premiere.

1. Ben: I thought he would be a good partner to have! He's good in challenges, but also not too involved in the drama of it all and a nice guy to boot.
2. Will: Good in challenges and a strategic beast to boot. Not sure if I would make the alliances he would, but why not?
3. Connor: No problems with him! He would've been great had he not been eliminated as early as he was.
4. Jonathan: From what I've read (and remembered), he argued a lot with Hannah, making him look like he would put her down. However, he also won Shark Bait and has the skills to win the game.
5. Kyle:He seems to be underestimated in terms of challenges, but I want to see him become like Monroe and beast at them. Also a chill guy who wouldn't get enveloped into the drama.
6. Caleb: I don't remember much about him; he seems competent, but the Orange Team were basically the Green Team's pawns. Since that could twist up their game plans...

If I were a guy:

1. Leslie: The most athletic girl on E6 (she could rival Erika, in my opinion), very strategic, very smart! Enough said.
2. Jackie: I think she's got what it takes to do well in challenges, but her tirade after Green gave them the Samadhi could make her some enemies.
3. Jordyn: Nothing bad to say about her! She's shown to have good teamwork with Ben, and a nice girl as well.
4. Hannah: I could see her doing well in challenges, but based on her relationship with Jonathan, maybe I could tell her to calm down?
5. Briana/Lauren: Briana because she caused a bit of drama during the partner selection, which turned everyone against her. I also didn't see her do too well in challenges, so...as for Lauren, bleh.

I'm surprised I never made one for this season! Thank you for making one

Girls:
1. Leslie: Definitely one of the strongest girls in Endurance history! I really liked her strategy and game play, and could always count on her in a mission.
2. Jackie: I really liked Jackie even if she got a little crazy... E6 just moved so fast that I felt like all friendships were broken immediately. I loved her personality!
3. Jordyn: Jordyn was so sweet! I loved her attitude, but could definitely see where Ben could get frustrated because she really lacked stamina.
4. Hannah: Hannah was another one of my favorites (I really liked the girls this season!). Nothing bad to say, just seemed not as tough as the other girls.
5. Lauren: Not a big fan of her personality but its also been a while since I've watched. 
6. Briana: She might have been more tolerable if she had gotten a partner she wanted. But since she didn't... yikes. I could have seen those colors coming out down the road too. But at times I could also sympathize with her.

Guys:
1. Will: Very strong guy - again probably one of the strongest in the history of the game! Was always down to earth which I appreciated.
2. Ben: He was really friendly and had great stamina / brain power. Wish he was just a little more outgoing to make alliances and such.
3. Connor: I think Connor would have been very similar to Monroe had he been given more time. I think he also would have been great at brain challenges!
4. Caleb: Caleb was eh. I didn't hate him, but I also thought he was a little much to work with. Considering his size, I thought he'd do a lot better at challenges.
5. Jonathan: I loved Jonathan by the end but I also remember how angry he would get at Hannah. I wouldn't let any yelling happen, its not how I roll.
6. Kyle: I liked Kyle but for the sake of wanting to stay in the game, it would be in my best interest to not align myself with him.

Didn’t realize I never did this one oops.

Girls
1. Leslie - Honestly, duh. She was the closest to a full package on this season.
2. Jackie - She seemed really funny and smart and even despite her rage toward Green I could see us getting along really well
3. Jordyn - She did end up winning, after all. I honestly feel like we know nothing about Jordyn but she was nice
4. Briana - I liked her spunk. I would be worried about her drama with the other girls but I think we would get along.
5. Lauren - Inconsequential but not particularly offensive
6. Hannah - She was good TV but I know that we would not have gotten along!

Boys
1. Connor - cause he’s freaking hilarious, honestly. Even if we went out first at least we’d have a good time.
2. Ben - again, he DID win. And he was very smart and level headed. I can see us working together really well, actually.
3. Caleb - he was actually really nice. And he was strong.
4. Will - I didn’t like Will’s attitude, and that would rub me the wrong way. But he was really good at the missions.
5. Jonathan - He kinda got painted as the “dumb jock” which isn’t an archetype I tend to get along with honestly. And he did take his frustrations out on his partner which is no bueno.
6. Kyle - I just can’t see him excelling

[Cruise meerkat Youssy]

Where do the RTS eliminates rank for y’all had the twist panned out?

Becca would be my number one. She would’ve been amazing on Endurance! Cinnamon would be my last, honestly. I don’t think we would have gotten along and pair that with her kind of being an outcast.

Andres would be maybe number 3. I’ve always liked him a lot and wish he made it farther. He just seemed like a good guy and also fairly athletic. Honestly I don’t really know/remember much about MJ but he did also seem level headed and nice so maybe after Will??

1. Connor - I honestly initially had him at #3, but the more I thought about it I realized how much I'd love to have him as a partner. His enthusiasm for all things Endurance would be great to work with! He's got brains, passion, & he performed pretty well in challenges, too.
2. Will - crazy strong competitor, nice guy, and a real strategist.
3. Ben - I really wanted to give Ben a higher spot because I'm biased (for some reason he's one of my favorites among all the seasons), but I couldn't justify it because I would need a partner who's stronger physically lol
4. Caleb - Caleb is really sweet and definitely strong. But he's 4th because that's all I have to say about him, haha
5. Jonathan - I actually love Jonathan and would love to be his partner. Only reason he's this low is because I'm a sensitive baby so I'd probably get annoyed with his competitiveness
6. Kyle - poor Kyle lol, he seemed really nice but not the best player for Endurance

And for girls...
1. Leslie - this is just an obvious choice, haha. I don't even feel like I have to justify it!
2. Hannah - while her sassy mouth may cause a little friction, Hannah is QUITE a tough competitor and very determined. Plus, there's just something likable about her that I can't quite put my finger on.
3. Jordyn - I loooooove her personality! But I couldn't give her the #1 or 2 spot because of her lack of stamina.
4. Lauren - personality was bleh, but she performed well and kept her head in the game.
5. Jackie - she may be a good competitor but I just don't understand her attitude at all? She seemed level-headed at first, but then she started acting really immature/childish over the dumbest things. I don't mind Hannah's sass because she's upfront about it, but Jackie's meltdown was just weird.
6. Briana - for the partner selection drama. She displayed a LOT of reluctance to adapt and work with what she got.

As for RTS eliminees... Rebecca would probably fall between Jackie & Briana, Cinnamon would be last. I'd put both Andres & MJ between Jon & Kyle, with Andres coming first.

Version 2.0!

1. Ben: A genuinely good guy, a smart player, and just someone I could see myself go far with! The only problem would be that I might not have that much athleticism to compensate for any flaws he might have.
2. bootleg Isaac Will: One of the strongest players out there, that's for sure! Again, I wouldn't make the moves he did to get further in the game, but I could see us getting along quite well.
3. Connor: Just an absolute character; I would definitely have a good time with him. In addition, he can definitely kick butt in challenges and charm his way through the social game!
4. Caleb: Definitely a good guy with the skills needed to win the game! I just wished Orange wasn't conjoined to the Green Team as much.
5. Jonathan: One of the beasts in challenges for sure, but I feel like I would be overly defensive when he tries to talk to me. I remember in school I got upset when I messed up in kickball; somebody bringing up my flaws would lead to...problems.
6. Kyle: I loved seeing how he played the social game on this rewatch, but I don't see myself winning with him.

If I were a guy...
1. Leslie: One of the strongest girls in terms of athleticism and strength. That's all I have to say about her!
2. Jackie:  Definitely a strong girl with enough determination and strategy to win. That said, I'd also have to be able to keep her calm, lest she messes up her social game through some misspoken words.
3. Hannah: Definitely a firecracker in terms of personality, but is also quite competent in challenges and someone I'd be willing to work with!
4. Jordyn: It's kind of hard to put her this low, because she's just a lovely girl and quite nice! The problem here is that she might lack stamina, which has hampered Blue on a number of occasions. She would not do well on e5 (because of the number of races involved), in particular.
5. Lauren: She really rubbed me off the wrong way throughout this rewatch, especially with how she relied on the Green Team a lot. That said, she's definitely a competent player when it comes down to it.
6. Briana: While I did feel bad for how she got targeted after the partner selection, I don't feel like she has many redeeming qualities about her when it comes to the game. We also never saw a point where Kyle and her coalesced, which could pose problems if we can't get along.

(For the RTS eliminees, MJ and Andres are probably between Caleb and Jonathan for me. I felt like we didn't get to know them well enough to get more of an inkling of how they would act in the competition, but they seem to be good guys whom I could work with well. For the girls, I'd have Becca in third, because I was actually quite endeared by her and she could've done better eventually. Cinnamon...I would put her between Jordyn and Lauren. She's definitely a wildcard in terms of abilities and how she navigates the social game.)
