Unplugged! - "Trudy Award"

AWARDS UNPLUGGED: Where we take the Summer 2008 awards & break 'em down to "Tribe" references so you can see what each award refers to, then the defining moment that resulted in a character receiving this award.

Trudy Award

Her's was one of the first faces we became familiar with on "The Tribe." Trudy had lots of firsts on the show - first pregnancy, first flashback (to a last day with her parents), first (and only) character whose home we got to see, first girl to be seen in Bray's company ... but for this award, we're focused on how resilient she was. Trudy always bounced back! Trudy & Zoot? Zoot died. Trudy & the Chosen? She finally got kicked out as Supreme Mother and her tribe took her back. Trudy & Jay? That boy was totally whacked! Trudy & Mega? Yeah, that one was just bad judgment PLUS the boy played her big time.

So from KTDARPG, winning Trudy's "I made mistakes but can't we just get past it?" award, we congratulate LADY ARIANNA. Just like Trudy, Ari has pretty much been through the ringer since our game season-1. Most recently, she lost a man she really cared about over something that couldn't be helped. Because no matter what, Ari has her own sense of fairness & her own brand of justice. In this case, we're convinced this one was Scarecrow's loss because no matter what, our Arianna will always land on her feet. In this crazy pre-Virus New World, Arianna is one of the strong ones.
