I only made one vote, for Brian Orosco, simply because I also liked Levi and David, but didn't want to choose between them.
I loved Brian for his fighting spirit. His failure his first time fueled his determination and success his second time, as well as man... it felt so d*mn good to see him pass last second like that...
But Levi naturally for his 2 consecutive first stage wins, and David for his 'Never Say Die' attitude.

Colin for his impressive military experience and body shape. I'm fully aware he never got a lot of opportunity to shine as any one of the best anc winners because of the challenges faced with in his tournament. His story of his run on the course was the most interesting. "But on this one, the trampoline is a little bit angled. So you get more of your power from running faster. I did not take Nagano's advice of concentrating on the run and I concentrated more on the jump, which was obviously a bad mistake." It saddens me to see that he realizes he messed up bad and would not get another chance. He had to choose the way he was comfortable with to approach the obstacle or to do it the way he was told to.

I do believe with you that Colin would have been a good competitor, and would like to see him again possibly, but I would like to see in his ANC video footage of him practicing the Jumping Spider.
Perfect Practice Makes Perfect. It'll show he won't make the same mistake again.

I feel like since the possibility of his return seems farther away than it used to be is only what makes it more wanted. I forget that he tried out for the 3rd challenge which was cool and it was fun rating his entry all 5 stars. Why no trampoline footage was used is beyond me, not to mention there were like 15 other finalists.

I like David, Luci and Brian, in that order. Brian is f-ing crazy, though. I talked to him a little in Santa Monica and... yeah... I love it.  |

I chose David and Mark.
Guessing mark doesn't have many fans since he failed so early on, but that wasn't his fault. He's also a really nice guy.

I hold everyone accountable for their failures, just like I don't accept Yamada's or Brett's "injured" ankles as excuses.
I just don't think Mark was that interesting. He seemed a little dull to me. So did Colin, looking back on it.

Mark didn't even have time to be 'interesting' due to his early exit. I still think he would do really well if he were healthy. There's no way he would fail the Log GRip if he hadn't been injured.

I'll give Brett Sims some love. His video for ANC4 was the most entertaining and well put together (something a video guy like me appreciates). Brett seems like a good kid who just couldn't get over the Warped Wall.

I chose Brian and Lucy. Found Colin to be a bit plastic but overall I didn't hate anyone (not even Levi.. LOL). I also chose people I've seen more than once since I had a better chance to "know" them better.
