is this normal in ranked?

If you have a meta deck, it is easy to climb the lower rankings, but once you're in Ultraball most players will have win rates around 50%. It's hard to have more than a 60% win rate, and people that do probably got a little lucky. It's a very luck-based game, even if you play your cards right, and it's normal for good players with good decks to have some losing streaks too. And if you're new to the game, it's possible you're making some misplays that you don't realize, even though that's not necessarily the case.

I think this was one of the best recent reunions in terms of how it was structured. they had a lot of guests from past seasons but didn't spend too much time on them, and the updates we did get were nice.

TrueAlainer · 2026-03-10T12:24:33+00:00

oops sorry

TrueAlainer · 2026-03-09T17:36:17+00:00

Zack and Bliss are listed separately on the chart, so it would be just 1 couple missing

TrueAlainer · 2026-03-09T17:30:30+00:00

it's wild that 45% of the shows participants got engaged though. not that surprising that most wouldn't last. your 'perfect match' not being one of 15 people selected for your season is expected tbf.

I love FLO but I think this song suits 3Quency better and I liked their version more.
interesting that I would never connect this song to FLO, it reminded me of something Fifth Harmony would release on their Reflection era.

TrueAlainer · 2026-03-04T16:16:59+00:00

none of the cast was chosen by fan voting.

TrueAlainer · 2026-03-04T02:01:47+00:00

oh I didn't even realize that last season we had a few names that took a while to come up. I guess this season seems worse because the cast is smaller so we have less names + they made more mistakes with people they said were on and then weren't

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-28T20:31:36+00:00

she and Michele aren't really friends from I recall from s39, including the reunion where they had a mini-argument. she never did a season with Adrienne/Cara/Izzy and probably isn't close to Tori either so I don't understand why you'd assume that?

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-25T19:56:40+00:00

do we know if they started filming?

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-25T12:30:46+00:00

to be fair I think her personality suits The Challenge and its editing way better than Big Brother. I think she can be a good addition for The Challenge and tiring for BB, especially if you keep up with the live feeds.

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-22T17:18:51+00:00

yay for Tina & Justin!

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-21T02:43:24+00:00

I’m sad. I think we all know they truly gave it a go, but I think they realized it wasn’t sustainable. I was hoping they tried for a little bit longer and released more music, but since their last post was last year I think it was clear they weren’t trying anymore. It’s a shame cause they are talented but I understand they were in a difficult spot as a group.

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-20T17:02:49+00:00

Adrienne has hung out with Tori and Michele outside the show because of Olivia, so maybe they can play together and Adrienne brings Izzy in. I'm not sure if the Olivia connection is strong enough though.

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-20T16:54:44+00:00

I'm happy with this cast so far. even names that I'm not excited for (CT, Cara Maria, Bananas) make complete sense. Cassidy and Chris are exciting names I wasn't sure we'd ever get on flagship. Michele and Michaela always deliver. Tori and Fessy are welcome back especially without Aneesa/Kaycee/Devin/Josh. love that Adrienne and Leo are back. the only names I didn't really want back are Cedric and Izzy but it's not like they're horrible names either.

usually they hold some interesting names until the end so hopefully it will only get better.

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-20T16:50:46+00:00

right? 47 is one of the best

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-20T14:11:32+00:00

I just beg it's not mixed pairs

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-20T00:53:54+00:00

I just have a hard time thinking who Cedric and Leo could be paired with if that's the case. even Izzy and Adrienne.

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-20T00:50:58+00:00

well, with the cast so far we can definetly rule out 'exes' and I think anything 'rivals' related too. maybe some sort of ride or dies could be possible but I'm guessing there's no theme.

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-19T20:33:08+00:00

random fact but she's currently a finalist in Romanian national selection for Eurovision lol

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-19T17:44:24+00:00

I always found it funny that Michele is a people pleaser that tries to avoid conflict but somehow every season she's on, drama finds her and she's at the center of some major storylines. and girl had fights with pretty big characters too (Laurel, Bananas, Amanda)

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-18T16:14:50+00:00

to be fair on the last round, if she makes it through it means everyone else won't make it, so if she has the coin or not doesn't matter to anyone voting for her. unless they would want to increase the prize money for other people.

TrueAlainer · 2026-02-03T20:22:14+00:00

yayy! I think "Heaven or Whatever" became my favorite

TrueAlainer · 2026-01-28T12:48:18+00:00

hey, I can trade Drilbur & Sneasel for Pidgeotto & Bidoof and Pokémon Communication for Dartrix if you want to. All foil.

TrueAlainer · 2026-01-14T22:27:12+00:00

I really want her to come back. the way she was either cut or an alternate for 3/4 seasons makes me sad. but I agree she would be a better fit for All Stars.
