Getting close to the end and there's five spots available for All Stars. Thought I'd get the ball rolling with this given we haven't discussed it yet. IMO, Rhian and GM are the most visible selections, with Peter up there for being a comp whore, but after that I find it to get a little bit difficult between Ed, Helen and Amanda.
Ed all of a sudden might be able to take this whole game if he plays his cards correctly, which is incredible given the place he was in a few weeks ago, however in terms of game moves he hasn't made any aside from going after Rhian. (per GM) Both of his HoH reigns seemed to be controlled by the girls, however he is picking up the slack as of late in the competition department and did play a strong social game early on. I'd put him in as of right now.
Helen was adorable throughout the game, and clearly very aware of the dynamics going on in the house, however she couldn't win a competition to save her life. If I had to pick today, I'd place Helen in All Stars, however I'm also very bias on that front since Helen was probably my favorite all season. I think looking at her body of work, she did play a pretty strong social game. A majority of people liked her, with Judd being the main exception. She did survive the block three times, and was able to float under the radar for a long time until she got grouped with Amanda around Jury time.
Amanda is probably the biggest wild card for All Stars. The pros to having her in are the fact she brings the drama (entertainment is a plus) and can win competitions, however she always gets targeted early for her personality. While I do like Amanda, I'm not sure she has the same body of work as Helen/Ed to warrant getting in, especially given this was her third go around. She wasn't able to put the puzzle pieces together about Rhian/GM until she had been evicted while in comparison, Helen seemed to be a lot more aware that she could be getting played earlier on.
So if I had to pick: Rhian, GM, Peter, Ed, Helen in that order. Thoughts and opinions? Anybody else that should be up for consideration?

Js. So as much as she's dominated, she too made mistakes in putting things off that needed to be dealt with immediately. Amanda and Helen put things off until it was too late... Doesn't mean they weren't aware and didnt try.
