Okay, promised to give my thoughts. It is going to be very tricky to keep track of such a large cast, so I'll have to really concentrate to remember who's where.
Okay, first things first. Glad Alejandro has orchestrated his first elimination. I was initially really excited when he and Bowie ended up on the same team as they are both strategists with a strong social game, so I am hoping for some more interactions with them. Alejandro is generally more malicious in his interactions and will feign friendships with no problem, while Bowie tends to relate to everyone pretty naturally - he allied with Emma because he liked her, his feud with Julia is because he dislikes her and he genuinely cares about Raj. Alejandro only ever respected Heather and faked friendliness with everyone else.
After Sammy and Nichelle jumped at the same time in the last episode, I was hoping for more interactions with them. Nichelle's got too much confidence and not much skill, while Sammy likely believes she's terrible at everything but isn't, so they could be good influences on each other. At least Amy's not on the same team, so chances are Amy won't be showing a much better performance than her sister - I'm guessing they'll be about the same level most of the time.
Ezekiel's another interesting one. Kudos to Damien for trying to let him know he's getting antiquated and prejudiced views, but he's not listening. Also, not sure if his stereotyping gay men as weak was homophobic or just ignorant, but he honestly got told a lot of sexist and racist things growing up. Poor thing, but he makes me cross that he wouldn't listen to some good advice from a guy who clearly does NOT fit the racial stereotype Ezekiel was led to believe in.
As a note, Phobia Factor will be interesting with a few double-ups on the table. That is, we KNOW that Bowie and Leshawna have the same fear, so keep that in mind.
Keep updating!

I am going to read the next chapter before I give my thoughts, but had to stop here for Dawn reading Lauren's aura and wondering if the Age of Aquarius has begun. Some people say we're still in the Age of Pisces, others say the Age of Aquarius began some time ago. My water bottle has a sticker on it that reads "The dawning of the age of Aquarius". It's from the opening number of the musical "Hair", about hippies at the time of the Vietnam War. I'm not a huge fan of the musical itself (for a 1960s setting, give me "Hairspray" or "Little Shop Of Horrors"), but I do love the song "Aquarius", which is also my star sign. After all, it's not just about innovation and eccentricity, it's also about friendship, peace and openness to change. On to read the next chapter now!

I have to say, Dawn being scared shitless when she saw Lauren's Aura is pretty funny.
The thing I want to see most though is Izzy and Scary Girl interacting. Either as best friends or rivals, I don't mind.

Nice job with this. It was fun seeing the characters from different generations interact during the challenge. Looks like Leonard was the first to be eliminated. Not a big loss, though I have seen a few stories where he has been given some development. But overall a pretty safe first elimination.
Going to be fun to see the rest of the story. What friendships and rivalries will form with such a large cast.

Boy Ezekiel dug a deeper grave than he did in canon, gonna be hard for him to escape from that scrutiny.

Another great chapter!
It seems like some of the villains are already putting their plans in motion. It was also nice to see how the contestants from different generations interacted around each other.
Leonard was eliminated too, which makes sense given his character doesn’t have much to offer compared to Axel.
Can’t wait for the next chapter to come out!

Amazing first two chapters, love the direction you're taking with this, and excited to see more chapters come out. Early predictions on who is going to be voted out of each team for me.
Killer Bass: Izzy (I don't really see any sort of storyline right now with her and she's a very bad player so it would make sense. She got eliminated five times in three seasons.)
Screaming Gophers: Max (Weak physically, little to no fodder characters, bad social game.)
Ferocious Trout: Eva (Alejandro, Bowie, & Caleb, seem like the big players of this team right now. She lacks the naivety to be manipulated by them. Lacks the intelligence to utilize their charm. Plus, Axel is here and has way more potential than her. Why bother trying to keep a terrible social player, when you have her improved counterpart.)
Lastly, Lightning Squad: Lightning (I KNOW THIS IS CRAZY BUT HEAR ME OUT! Lightning immediately jumped and provided his team with zero direction. All of the other captains tried to take charge which is what they were meant to do. Referring to everyone as bolts instead of their names could be seen as condescending to a lot of people. Lastly, it would serve as a very effective shock elimination. The leader gets voted out, and there are enough clues sprinkled throughout the story over time for it to make sense. Rather than it just all getting dogpiled in one episode.)

This is a very good start. I understand booting Leonard first since he didn't contribute much, and you make a point in saying that his character would need a heavy shift if he was to make it any farther. (Raising my hand cause I know I've done it.) Still, the people left in the bottom four certainly kept me guessing.
I do have a few questions in mind regarding this fanfic:
1) Will you be keeping canon couples or might there be some shake-ups?
2) On a similar note, will the same apply to friendships and rivalries?
3) What will you do with characters that canonically didn't have much screen time, like Axel, Staci, Beardo, etc?
4) Can you PLEASE not make Rodney nothing more of a joke and give him a little bit of development? Okay, this might be more of personal tastes since I'm a huge Rodney fan.
5) Might some of the villains' plans clash together, for better or worse?

Yeah. Leonard is a nice guy but he didn't have much character development. Same with the others.

Okay, I just have to say that I love this so far. The characters and their interactions between one another are on point, I can feel the passion leaking through the words, and I love the whole idea.
Chris and Chef's chat at the start of Ch 1 is a really nice touch to help explain what exactly is happening.
I love how you split the teams up, and I look forward to what's to come!
also, special shoutout to the intro you did, it's lovely.
