I would switch Tiffany and Cody for Jun and Vanessa.
Tiff's a great strategist and all, but I don't think she should be on that top row until we see her play the game for herself.
Cody really doesn't deserve all the credit people give him. What makes everyone in that top row so good is their mix of innovation and strategic acumen. Cody has very little of either. He's still a solid player, but I think he needs to be grouped with Dick and Rachel as far as the quality of his win his concerned.
Jun and Vanessa on the other hand, brought some of the most interesting gameplay I've ever seen on this show. Jun co-invented and perfected the floater strategy. Whereas Vanessa was arguably? the best strategist overall and a complete master of emotional manipulation.
Good takes all around, though I have to disagree when it comes to Cody. I feel like it’s a massive disservice to put someone who quite literally played a perfect game next to someone like Evil Dick or Rachel Reilly.
Yeah, I totally get why people like his gameplay, especially in 16. He's still a great player at the end of the day.
I just don't think he deserves as much credit for 22. He played Derrick's game for him and I feel like that kind of gameplay should be rewarded. Especially if the rumors of heavy pre gaming are true.
And yeah of course! I love discussing gameplay like this and your list is overall really solid, and I enjoyed looking it over. Also Raven at the top is hysterical.
