Astral

Astral, also known as Astral Warrior 7156; was a last minute addition to the first All-Stars season and also competed in Season 12. He became a co-host for a solid while, hosting in Season 6, 7, 8 & 9.

Prior to the Series
Astral and I have been good friends since the Skype days, and he has been fairly gucci with me. I needed a back-up for the All-Star season and ultimately it was Astral who accepted the call.

Bowser Party
Season 5:

Astral's first appearance in the series for some reason, was in Season 5, the All-Star season; As a member of the Heroic Hawks. Astral managed fairly well on the Heroic Hawks thanks to his main ally and ended up making it all the way to merge. He did end up in the bottom two twice, in Episodes 10 and 11 respectively, but managed to get out of them and ultimately won the challenge in Episode 14, placing him in the finale and ultimately leading him to win the jury vote, giving him 1st place.

Season 12:

Due to his first place in Season 5, Astral refused to return but eventually Marble and I were able to bribe him into coming back for Season 12, where he was placed on the Gold Team. Of course, Astral did not last that long at all, as he ended up going in Episode 5 with Pies, tying them both for 21st/22nd place.

Hosting Seasons
While Astral refused to compete, he didn't refuse to co-host and was the very first person to do so, starting off in Season 6, which he dubbed Bowser Party Ultra. He also returned as a co-host for Season 7, and Season 8. His last season as a co-host from my knowledge was in Season 9. While I don't remember how much he did, he did still contribute a bit and I really appreciate it.

Current Status and Overall Thoughts
I have no idea whether or not Astral would return to the series as a contestant, albeit he probably would as a co-host. If he's open to as a contestant though, he's more than welcome to return.

Astral is certainly a figure of chaos for Bowser Party, being a newcomer who won All-Stars and the first co-host. While having some floppy moments of course, Astral's still done fairly well as a player and co-host and I appreciate what he brought for the series.

Other ORGs
Astral has competed in two other ORGs of mine to my knowledge. He competed as a replacement for Bridgette with Noahh in my Amazing Race's first season, where the two got 2nd and he was in S.S-Vivor: The Cosmos, where he ended up in the finale. He also hosted a bit outside of BP, he and I made our own series called Camp Chaotic which only had one season, and he was a co-host in the most recent Legends season after being a guest judge for an episode.

Trivia

 * Astral has a 3 for 4 finale record in my ORGs as a whole, which is pretty impressive admittedly.
 * As mentioned, Astral was the first co-host I've ever had in the ORG. And the only one between the Season 8 hosts to not host his own season.
 * Astral currently runs his own ORG series, which is at it's third season.
 * Astral took the longest of the five winners of Gen 1 to return for a second season, and did the worst of those five in terms of his second season.
