Kaden

Kaden, also known as KadenC33; was one of the first ten contestants to play in the reboot of Bowser Party on Discord, competing in Season 1 & 2. He came back for the fourth season, before taking a break and returning to the twelfth season. He then returned for Season 15, before taking another long break and coming back for Season 2-2 & 2-3.

Prior to the Series
Kaden and I were good friends during the Skype community, and hung out a good deal around then. When the move to Discord was made, Kaden was asked to compete and he ultimately accepted.

Bowser Party
Season 1:

Kaden's first season was in the very first season of Discord's Bowser Party, he did not end up competing long however, as he was the very first player eliminated from the new series. Ultimately there was not a lot to say about Kaden here, but it set a pattern for the future, regardless he was given 10th place here.

Season 2:

Kaden returned for Season 2 despite this, being placed on Team Fire Blazing Sharks, his first ever team. Kaden managed to survive his first two eliminations, however he was once again eliminated early as he was the third booted as a whole, and second booted off his team, thus ending his run for the season and leaving him with 12th place.

Season 4:

Kaden took a break for Season 3, but returned for the fourth season, being placed on the Killer Koopas. While Kaden was once again the third boot, he actually returned this time in Episode 9 and managed a bit better this time around. He did not make a bottom two for the rest of merge, and made it to the final 5, before beating booted again and taking 5th place with a very solid improvement.

Season 12:

Kaden took a fairly long break, but returned once again for Season 12. Unfortunately he started on an unknown team that I don't know before joining Team Pixelated Piranhas later, so I cannot document his early time. However he made a solid early duo with Tyler G, that managed to last til around the merge due to the latter quitting, this meant Kaden made his first official merge. He was booted shortly after the quit, leaving Kaden in 9th place this season, a major step-up once again.

Season 15:

Kaden's next season and last of the first era was Season 15. He managed to win the first part of episode 1's challenge, alongside staying afloat for a few episodes. He made it to Episode 5, before being eliminated alongside Maxi, Bloody and Lee for a tie of 12th/13th/14th due to the latter returning.

Season 2-2:

Kaden made his big return in Era 2, competing in Season 2-2. Kaden showed he was not to be messed with, winning the first two immunity challenges, sharing one with Ari in the first episode, while winning his own in the second. He ended up in the bottom two in Episode 3, likely due to that dominant run, but survived the elimination. He won his third immunity that challenge in Episode 5, and once again made bottom 2 in Episode 6. Afterwards, while he didn't win any other challenges he managed to make it to the end, and after several seasons, Kaden ended up winning Bowser Party via the jury. Making him the second winner of Era 2.

Season 2-3:

It's likely due to this that Kaden applied and returned for Season 2-3, being placed on Team Divine Melody. Unfortunately the team lost the challenge in Episode 2, and Kaden's past came back to bite him as he was booted over Darryl that night.

Current Status and Overall Thoughts
Kaden has since not returned to the series, but is more than open to return in the future if he wants to.

As someone who was a pretty infamous first boot, Kaden's someone I still have a fair bit of respect for. Did he have a rough start? Absolutely. But I think Season 4 and 12 helped Kaden out a fair bit, and Season 2-2 was a great win for Kaden. He easily proved that he had what it takes and while he might've botched his last season, that doesn't make him a bad player in the slightest. I can say without a doubt, Kaden's one of the strongest first booted players and easily one of the best I can say was in the series so yeah.

Other ORGs
Kaden wasn't that shy from playing in other ORGs of course. He competed in the first season of my Big Brother game as one of his OCs, Rocky. He also competed three times in my Amazing Race series. He played with Nico in the first season, then returned with someone else for Season 3, before a replacement came in the spot of Kaden's original partner, allowing them to get 6th and finally played in the All-Star season with Cashmere. Kaden was a two-time player in the Visionary Speeds, actually winning the third season against his original AR3 teammate. He played in Realityxchallenges 1 as well, also being apart of my music camp, Keeper of the Flame and getting third in the first season of Big Survivor Brother. And finally he was a two-time Legends player, competing in season 1 & 2 and managing to make merge in both.
