DRAFT PROFILE
Number 6 of 22 on our preseason board, in tier A alongside 3 other players.
That is a bet on how many points Abby is worth to a fantasy roster, which is not the same bet as who wins. Points come from missions, shields, surviving the Round Table and calling a Traitor correctly, so a loud player who gets banished in episode six can outscore a quiet one who reaches the end.
Ranked before the premiere, from the cast announcement and nothing else. Nobody involved has seen a frame of the season.
BEFORE THEY PLAYEDWanted to stay Faithful
Abby said they would rather stay Faithful. Read it as a preference for playing the game straight and hunting rather than hiding. It is the more exposed wish of the two: a Faithful has to be right in public, repeatedly, and a Traitor Abby would be starting from a position they did not want.
What they told the cameras before filming, not a spoiler and not a prediction. Casting decides who wears the cloak.
IN THE CASTLE
A shared age, home state or trade is the first shortcut a Round Table reaches for.
- One of two players aged 29, in a cast running from 23 to 65.
Niyyah Hayes - The only player in the castle from Minnesota.
- Six of the twenty-two said before filming that they would rather stay Faithful. These are the other five.
Abbey Benjamin
Madeline Kostopulos
Mark Zgoda
Morgan Cook
Wyatt Gillespie
Counted from the twenty-two announced players, not from anything that has happened. The season has not started.
FUN FACTS
An astrophysicist in real life, Abby Lee grabbed one of the premiere's only three shields.
BackstoryEP 1
BIO
An astrophysicist from Saint Paul, and the only person in the castle whose day job is defending a conclusion against people trying to break it. "I'm good at arguing while keeping my cool," she says. "Astrophysicists get passionate about defending their ideas because the fate of the universe is at stake." A self-described super fan of the last few US seasons, she names Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones as her role model. Composure under cross-examination is the exact skill a Round Table tests.
🎯 FANTASY TAKE
The clearest deduction profile in the cast on paper. A scientist's habit is to hold a hypothesis loosely and follow evidence, which is exactly the Faithful skill. The trap is that visible cleverness is the single most common reason a Faithful gets banished.
STRATEGY
Expect them to build a case rather than a coalition, which is the right game played in the riskiest order.
