Ian

Ian, also known as (Ian1547); was one of the five newcomers to join Bowser Party's first era on Discord in Season 3.

Prior to the Series
Similarly to RJ, I believe Ian and I met through a mutual friend, as such, he was invited and ultimately accepted the invite.

Bowser Party
Season 3:

Ian competed in Season 3, as a member of Team Amazon. Ian did fairly well for himself, remaining fairly lowkey and ending up in merge, where he continued his lowkey, floaty gameplay. That ultimately got him into the finale, and somehow he managed to win the jury vote, resulting in him getting 1st place.

Season 5:

Of course, Ian was invited to compete in Season 5 for his gameplay and competed on the Heroic Hawks. Ian continued his gameplay from last time, albeit to less success as he was in the bottom two for Episode 7. However, he was spared and made it again to merge. He proceeded to not do much, resulting in him making bottom three in Episode 11, and then in the bottom two again in Episode 12. Before he was finally eliminated in Episode 13, receiving 6th place.

Current Status and Overall Thoughts
Ian has not returned since Season 5 and has shown no interest in doing so.

Ian is not a bad contestant, but easily one of the weakest winners for me in the series. I give him props, that he managed to go so far despite doing so little. But it's clear in his season that he probably won due to a bitter jury, which sucks for them. But hey, it is how it is. Ultimately, Ian is a fine contestant, but not a great winner in my eyes.

Trivia

 * Ian was the first winner in Bowser Party to not win any challenges in their winning season.
 * Ian was also the lowest ranking winner of the first generation when it comes to competing in their second season, as when they competed again they received 6th place. Compared to Sonically's 2nd in Season 2, Marble's 4th in Season 3 and Beardo's 4th in Season 5.
 * By technicality, Astral has done the worst of the first era contestants in their second season. Placing 21st/22nd in Season 12, however that was in the third generation, thus not counting here.
 * Ian is the tenth person to win a season of Bowser Party.
