Dominic

[Host]

Pre-Game

Ryan's first confessional where he outlines his weaknesses as both Gregory and Dominic is pretty telling of how he'll do in this game. He's self-aware of his past, and he wants to rectify that in the future. He's always been pretty big on not liking that everyone considers him to be Ellen's shadow...but that's going to work in his favor this time around. Everyone recognizes him as a threat and a Good & Evil staple, but no one seems to be gunning for him. I do think that when things get down to the nitty gritty, his paranoia could get the best of him, but he's coming in here with something to prove...and I hope he proves it.

Dominic
Round One
"I [get] too soft and let my guard down. I swear that won't be happening again."

Allies (Proelia): Gloria, Ben
Friends (Proelia): Mark
Allies (External): Ellen, Luca, Selena, AJ,
Foes (Overall): Michael

Introspective Points
-Wants to combine the best aspects of Dominic and Gregory. He's all about improving his gameplay- it's not really about placement for him.
-Wants to keep himself humble but not be too trustworthy.
-Seems to really be distrusting of Annie

Second-Person View
-Isn't seen as much of a threat as he probably should be, very well-liked overall throughout the game.

My Perspective
Dominic is trying a little too hard to be CPP this time around. I'm getting Carly vibes. I just don't think he really understands that for him to be a hero…he needs to be at some sort of disadvantage. He's playing great this time already and I think he's going to go far. He's turning his cynicism into a sort of lighthearted hilarious, yet strategic commentary.

His Story Summarized: Positivity. To keep his strategic and competitive streak without being egotistical. Trying to turn his nature into something a little more light-hearted. Maybe he'll even find along the way that he likes being positive more than negative.

Dominic
Week Two

Diary Room Summary
-Finds his trust to be in Gloria and Ben the most, with Mark as well.
-Realizes that Annie is out for blood after Emily's elimination.
-Is upset that he seems to be the only one to put effort into the challenge.
-Realized that Michael was stepping it up so he used the high-scoring letters for himself.
-Feels very powerful and comfortable in his foursome.
-Realizes that Chase & Mark are close. Alliance with himself, Mark, and Chase is formed.
-Annie needs to go because of how intense she's been with this game and the alliances she's made before-hand (seems to be completely made up in his head).
-He has been severely idol hunting.

Observations
-After claiming about the "new" Dominic, he seems to have reverted to his old ways. He likes to think the Annie decision was a "group" one that he just went along with, but that doesn't seem to be the case judging by confessionals from the others. This season is going to be about him struggling with his inner nature, I feel, but he'll win if he makes the finals.
