Cast Reveal & Preseason Thoughts

[jordan]

Willow: I loved, loved, loved hosting Willow in HAVOC, but it was unfortunately cut too short when she left us pre-merge. She was on the winning tribe out of three for the beginning of the game, never going to tribal. But at the swap, the two other tribes decided to target her tribe and ultimately she was first to go at the first tribal she attended because the other players suspected she was more schemey than she actually was. I think it's great that Willow realizes she needs to do more 1 on 1 calls and I hope she can really get her footing in this game, so we can see the full Willow potential. Fun story about Willow, when she interviewed for HAVOC she told us it was her first Skype based ORG coming to us from the world of TUmblr games...but after she was eliminated we learned she had previously played a season of Conquest!!! So she duped us and she can likely dupe the other players if given the chance. We also call her the Queen of Purple because she loves all things purple...but now it looks like she is on the blue tribe. Maybe that will turn out better for her, since she was on the purple tribe starting off in HAVOC. Willow I'm rooting for you to go far!

Robert: I guess math teachers are a new All Out archetype. Last season we had Kari, now we have Robert! I like how Robert admits having students he hates, but has to pretend to keep liking. That will be a good skill for the game. I think his white board strategy is fun and I hope he brings that to all his confessionals and uses it to keep track of the game. I can see Robert and Willow working well together. Lots of smarty pants in this season so far. I wonder if they will all work together as a brain cluster or if they will target each other.

[jordan]

Gabby: I'm not sure what kind of player Gabby will be, but I am glad to learn that those plush pillows are actually called SquishBalls. She is right, they are very soft and I kind of wish I had one. I also love the pink on one side hair style she has going for her. I think Gabby will fit in very well with this cast or at least who has been revealed so far. Maybe she will be more social than strategic, but it should be fun either way.

Robbie: He really speaks like he understands people and that will be a great asset in this game. Robbie has a lot of interests and seems to be social enough to find a commonality with just about anyone. I think he will go far in this game and I can see him being a threat to take it all, so he better find some shields to hide behind once he gets to merge...but I do believe he will make the merge. Can't wait to see Robbie make a big impact this season.

[Charity]

Kaitlyn - She's so sweet I already love her!! I think with the way this cast is set up, Kaitlyn has all the tools to succeed. Org newbie? Check! Sweet personality? Check! Good ally material? Check! Female who's gonna be active? Check! I believe that people are going to be fighting for Kaitlyn's affection this game, and that she is going to be somebody that individuals like Logan and Brady try to work with. I hope she's smart enough to make sure her relationships are held close to her chest. Worst case scenario she ends up with the same storyline as Taylor last season. I only see her leaving premerge if she gets truly swap fucked.

Trey - Kind of a question mark for me? I think he's going to put a lot into getting to know his tribe, but I'm not sure how he's going to be received... no clue why I think that it's just my hunch. I love Trey personally and I think he's a great person with a great personality, I'm just for some reason stumped @ what role he's going to fill on his tribe.

Kyle - Another great personality on the purple tribe... ugh don't want them to lose I think Kyle is going to do really well in this game. He's the quirky guy that people feel like they can trust, but he's more people savvy than people would assume on the service. I predict he's getting 8th... so many big personalities with good jury management get 8th so it makes sense?

Jessica - Total wildcard in the best way possible! She's super blunt, ready to play, and the second she gets voted out there's going to be fireworks at that tribal council. I think she'll be the 2nd or 3rd boot on her tribe assuming they lose that many times... Just because she's not going to do a good job hiding her personality (it's a good personality, but blunt people are feared in Survivor).

Willow - I don’t know much about Willow personally, but she seems hungry to prove that Havoc and her early departure in that game was a fluke. It seems that she’s learned from her mistakes and is really going to try and play a cerebral game, while making sure she keeps communication open with her tribe. My prediction is that people are going to underestimate her and try to rope her in, so I’d be shocked if Willow left early. My guess is she'll be a mid merge boot because people are intimidated by her people skills and good jury management.

Robert - Is going to be a huge character!! People seem to be hyping him up, and in the past I’ve found that the big characters that get hyped up as “great casting” leave early. I am predicting an early departure for Robert, due to his tribe pegging him as the player he is. When it happens, I have no doubt the VL will be up in arms about how Robert was “robbed.”

Gabby - I think she’ll be fine if she gets roped into an alliance on time? I have heard great things about Gabby, and she is somebody I would be friends with based on her energy alone. For some reason, I get “busy schedule” vibes from Gabby and see a world where she is an easy vote. I hope she proves me wrong and gives us crazy levels of energy throughout the season.

Robbie - He is one of my winner’s picks by a mile!! Robbie is somebody who is “people smart,” which many people think they are but usually they’re wrong. He’s going to have conversations with everyone on his tribe, and they’re going to fall in love with him because he’s smart enough to understand what each individual needs to hear. On top of this, I think Robbie’s competitive nature is going to propel him to at least merge… hopefully further .

[jordan]

Suzi: Wow! I am really excited to see Suzi play! I have not watched her in Sequester, but it sounds like she is a take charge player! Which works well in the short span of a sequester game, but not so great in a long form ORG game. Still she says she can adapt and that her skill is in social strategy, so I am here for it and hope she can really slay this game too! People are definitely going to find out about her Sequester track record, it only takes one person to talk and it will spread. But also people are super crazy in these games and once the cast is released, they will be scowering the internet for any bread crumbs of info on their fellow competitors. Hopefully, she can be up front about it and seem genuine, rather than try to act like she has something worth hiding. I really want to see Samantha and Suzi become a duo! These two could really cause some damage to some people's games!

Chris: This cast is really stacking up to have a lot of brainy, strategic, and intense personalities...and Chris certainly falls into that category. I'm not familiar with all his accolades, but no doubt others will. He is the kind of player with a good track record in other games and who should be taken out before he gets traction, but we all know how this goes. He has skills for a reason and he will likely make his way deep in the game despite having a big flashing sign over his head saying "Take Me Out if you want a chance". I wonder if all of these cerebral players will link up and form a big brain alliance or if they will feel threatened by too many similar strategists and target one another. I think if the later happens, Chris will be the kind of player who against all odds finds a way to slip through the cracks and reach the endgame.  

[jordan]

Bridget: She is an absolute legend from HAVOC season 3. This woman came into the game guns blazing, glass of wine in one hand, and consumed an entire idol hunt for dinner. She gave her all in the first immunity challenge, but ultimately her tribe lost and they went to tribal council first. They were all set for an easy boot, but Bridget didn't want to see a fellow woman go home, so she stuck her neck out to save her (even though that person was ready to sell her up the river), told the wrong people she had an idol, called a group meeting to confront people for being 'too vague' about which way they were voting, and then found herself on the wrong side of a 4 to 2 vote. I really do believe Bridget has potential to go far in an ORG, I think she learned a lot from her first game and I know she has the ability to find the right level of intensity to play with. The thing I love about Bridget is that she is unapologetically herself and what you see is what you get. I hope that she finds allies who will value her this time. I think she will do a better on an eight person starting tribe than the six person one in HAVOC. So get ready to root for Bridget because no matter how long she will be in the game, we will be getting good TV! One last thing, I hope she doesn't have PTSD from her tribe color...because she was on a yellow tribe in HAVOC too!

Joe: He seems very likable! I really like his idea of mixing up the genders at the endgame and making sure it isn't just a boys or girls club finale. I didn't really pay attention to the ages of most of the other contestants, but at 33 Joe might be one of the older ones on the cast. Can't believe early thirties is old in these games, but alas here we are. I think it's funny how he says he won't really align with the young ones, unless they happen to be kind of cute. That might be a hinderance to him in the game where you need to keep your options open...so hopefully Joe finds most of them cute. But Joe does leave us with the disclaimer that if their is a cute guy on this cast he WILL NOT flirt with him. Is he telling us that or is he trying to convince himself? I think Joe will have the likability to make it to the merge, but I can see him getting cut early if he doesn't mesh well with his tribe. He doesn't want to do small talk and he doesn't have any interest in staying up late talking to people he doesn't really feel a connection with. He's too authentic for that fake stuff. While I imagine Joe is smart, he doesn't strike me as the overly strategic type like a lot of these male players...so we will see if that is a good thing for him or a hinderance in connecting. 

Jordan Baldwin: Last season didn't have a Jordan...so it doesn't count as canon, right? His speculation was kind of spot on, guessing that people from sequester might be playing. He plans to blind in and be social with all types. He's the first player this season to say 'Bro down'...which makes me triggered after last season. He says he's nervous going in and doesn't have much of a plan...but he talks the rest of his intro like he does have some plans. He likes to work with people who don't know him or are aware of his past games. He says he placed 3rd, 2nd, and 4th in his last games...so he isn't a fluke at doing well. Hopefully, All Out isn't going to lower his average placements.

Nikki: I'm going to call her Double K for now so I don't confuse her with other Niki. First off, she's a breath of fresh air. She's so likeable! I want to go have fun with her, she looks like she's always up for exploring and seeing what new things she can do. I get the vibe that this video was spliced with footage from her survivor audition tape and I'm not mad about it. I think it's a great way to showcase who you are to new people and I want to be a Nikki stan now! Hoping she does really well in this game because the more Double K we get the better!

[rormoore]

I love this cast - there's so many different types of personalities and personas and it ought to be a wild ride to watch from start to finish! Kudos to production and here's hoping that I can actually be an active viewer for once and not dip after a post or two (he says, after saying it every other time he's joined a VL and dipped after 1 post). PS: I hope I don't fuck formatting up on my posts because I am not familiar with proboards but nonetheless, here goes nothing!


"I was never like screaming at anyone... but I kind of want to make that side of me come out this time"

Samantha seems like a really nice and friendly person - she won her first ORG, HAVOC, which is an impressive feat regardless of how she performs in this season. That being said, I'm really not sure how she's going to do? In her video and her winner post for HAVOC, she mentioned how she was close to being voted off at the start of the game and how she picked up her social game as she moved along which is great - but I'm worried that Samantha could overdo it if she comes into this game guns-a-blazing? It's a really tricky balance and I'm interested to see whether or not she'll be able to achieve it - and how her strategic side of things have evolved going from a newbie who hasn't watched Survivor to someone who won their first game. Anyways, she seems really friendly and nice and I'm looking forward to see how she plays in her 2nd ORG - I respect the level of awareness and how she acknowledges that luck assisted her in her previous game. I think Samantha has a lot of potential and it should be fun to see her hopefully unleash it this season!



"I would rather play hard going for a win and fall on my face than just play a safe game"

I am SO excited to watch Brady again - this man is my spirit ORGer. I've viewed Brady twice (I think?) in the past and both times he was super entertaining and fun to watch and I just love how he plays the game and presents himself - he's a chaotic player who, as he said, is labelled as a villain but like... he's a nice guy! I just hosted Brady in an alias game a month ago and he gave it his absolute everything; he created numerous alliances and final 2 deals and then proceeded to flip on all of them to spice the game up so if that says anything, the crackhead energy is ready to come out and I am READY for the Michael Brady experience all over again. I think Brady is pretty self-aware and I think he covered him as a player pretty well in his intro video; I hope that people take to him well and he doesn't go too crazy because I'd love love love to see a Brady deep run in this game - and even if he doesn't go far, he's gonna deliver one way or another.


"I hope to play a little bit less risk adverse than I've played in my other games"

I love Niki and have a lot of respect for her being such an active player despite being international. I've seen her name pop up throughout the community and I hope that coming into this game she's somewhat aware of the sort of reputation she's probably formed at this stage? Like I haven't played with Niki but I have a general idea of her as a player and people are going to be coming into this game knowing that she's a good player. I agree with the mentality that she shouldn't completely change her game since it's worked in the past and Niki seems to know her own strengths and natural skill-sets - she gives off such a friendly energy and I feel like practically anyone would be able to get along well with her. I hope she can turn up the riskiness and maybe venture a lillllllllll bit into the villainous/cutthroat side of things but regardless I'm hyped to watch Niki play.

[rormoore]

"I think it's better to use opportunistic truths than lies, if you can..."

I'm either going to love Logan or hate him and at the moment it's leaning towards the latter..? It was probably just a passing comment but suggesting that people from a certain part of the USA are better players... no words. This man is a whole GAMEBOT! He's got 2 different Survivor props in the background and the entire video is just him describing the ins and outs of different strategies and stuff in the game of Survivor and I really got 0 read on his personality beyond the fact that he's a gamebot that is going to get jumped on sight in this game. Hopefully I'm wrong because I know I'm def someone who comes across similarly when I go into uber-game mode in confessionals and he was trying to give us insight into his game but like.. where's the flavour. I don't really care about Bob and Wendy and I'm real confused as to how playing into expectations gets you out of being #6 to a 5 person alliance chile.. but we shall see. The bar has been set low so at least my opinion on Logan can only go up... or at least I hope it can only go up.

Also we've already had Samantha and Brady revealed on this tribe already and I just don't see Logan clicking with them? He seems to want to be the sort of player that Brady is with the whole chaos and strategy stuff but he just doesn't seem to have the personality or edge that I get from watching Brady but idk hopefully I'm wrong and even if I'm not every season needs a gamebot/villain!


"#1 I'm going to win the season. #2 I can be entertaining and likable. #3 I have cats."

I would like to know what Olivia intends to spend her $1000 on because she has already won it. I know of Olivia but I haven't actually viewed her or heard anything about her as a player but I'm already sold on many levels? I already know I'm going to love watching her confessionals and she gives off a super chaotic and fun villain vibe that I'll root for from start to finish. I'm fully endorsing the Olivia cult from this point forward and even if she doesn't form a cult in the game... chances are that the VL will be one regardless! All jokes aside I feel like Olivia could legitimately win this season just from these intro videos alone; she's charismatic, experienced and just seems to be super well-rounded.


how do i quote molly's music video...?

I'm so so so excited to watch Molly play. I met Molly a while back in a Sequester winner zoom call and to be quite blunt I tend to not really care about 99% of what people say BUT I can remember my first conversation with Molly very clearly and she it herself in her intro video - she's very calming. Molly's just a super cool and interesting person as a whole - she lives with 2 other teachers (iirc) and they each have different things throughout the house that allude to the different subjects they teach and idk it was just cool talking to her about it! Anyways, Molly is a really strong player and I think that people will overlook that since she hasn't played any long-term ORGs but she's easily one of my top picks to go far in this game. She's very well-rounded and very likable and I really hope that Olivia & Molly end up working together because I think these women could be a FORCE in this game.


"But if I think that you're not with me... I will find a way to cut yo ass"

Hmm. Rocky's one of those people in the community who I used to know but haven't spoken to or interacted with in a long ass time but from what I can remember he was a hothead and super chaotic and entertaining in games and I feel like this intro video was just... not showing that? Like yessir we stan you becoming more strategic but give me that messy energy! Like.. not dragging Rocky or his ability as a player the video just wasn't all that imo. That being said I hope Rocky brings out his messy side and gives us some good drama this season cos so far there's been a lot of strong players and personalities but like Rocky can be the bitch to serve us some messiness yup.

[Charity]

Suzi - She is literally the perfect human being!!! I love watching strong women play these games and she’s a perfect definition of a strong woman. Entertaining and strategic, I really hope she’s able to find herself in alliances early. If she leaves pre merge I will cry… happens too much for my taste. Knowing my luck it’ll happen but I am manifesting better.

Chris - LOVE! He is one of the players this season that I was friends with prior to seeing their application, so internally I am going to have a bias for him. I also know he’s a calculated player… so I’m hoping to see a lot of thoughtful gameplay from him. I think he’s a shoe in to get far as long as he keeps his activity level up.

Bridget - From what I have heard about Bridget, she deserves to play this game more than anyone else. In Havoc, she was a great personality but was picked off FIRST because she played too hard too fast. Literally a lost opportunity for everyone who was viewing that season if I had to guess. The fact that she wants to PLAY has me excited to view her. I hate boring players and know for a fact she’ll deliver. I really pray that she learns from her mistakes and does better this time, because I am rooting for her hard

Joe - I actually played my first Skype game with Joe.. way back in 2015 when I was a baby. He is a solid player, he’s great at challenges and is very aware of the social skills it takes to do well. I think Joe will at least make it past the initial tribe phase, but I can see him struggling in a swap if he doesn’t keep his options open.

Jordan - Seems like a sweet guy, and I know how enthusiastic he is to play this game. Looking at all the huge personalities this season, Jordan has the potential to slip through the cracks if he pledges loyalty early. Jordan also has the potential, if he decides that he’s going to “lay low,” become an early boot. I would be sad but not shocked if he leaves early.

Nikki - Very much giving me CJ vibes from S2… she’s the cute blonde who I think could genuinely make it on real Survivor, she has a mind for the game. I am hoping Nikki creates an all female alliance and dominates the men LOL but if she’s like CJ, she’ll probably fall to the same fate and get taken out by an idol or something super devastating.

[sid]

Kyle
Kyle is a whole mood I love him. I can already tell he’s going to have an excellent social game and make a deep run in this game. He looks comfy, I love his hair, what more is there to say? I do think people are going to see him as a threat but make the mistake of saying oh we can always get him out next week because he’s a bigger threat than us. Final Verdict: Late Jury

Jessica
I’m getting a chaotic but too tired from being a mom to be chaotic vibe from Jessica. Love to see it. I think the biggest issue with Jessica is going to be the amount of time she’s able to put in. I think there’s a strong correlation between how much time you have available and how deep of a run you can make. I like her, she might just be out of too many conversations. Final Verdict: Pre-Merge

Willow
I like her pinata, I love her hair, and GLASSES iconic. She doesn’t seem like the best liar and I think that’s going to be her downfall. She said she’s going to act a certain way in situations which will make people not trust her. Love her vibe, not sure how far she’ll get. Final Verdict: Pre/Early Merge

Robert
7 and a half minute king. A teacher love to see it major props. MY GOD THE FUCKING WHITEBOAD. The presentaaaaation, the flair, I want him in just for the confessionals. 4 minutes in I still have 3 minutes left, if nothing else he is thorough. I love his enthusiasm he seems like a geek like me. I want him to go far but I can definitely see him getting bogged down in the details and overthinking himself out of a good plan to be “spicy”. Don’t get me wrong, I love it, it’s iconic, and it’s going to cost him the game. Final Verdict: Mid Jury

Gabby
She seems chill. Not much to go off of, a very calming vibe. She said that she’s played in a couple orgs so she at least has some experience. I think I’ll have to watch her a bit more to get a feel for her playing style and how far she’ll go. I love her hair though. Final Verdict: Pre-Merge/Early Merge

Robbie
His decor is phenomenal, a little obama, a little theater, a million pop figures. He seems pretty grounded and knows how he wants to play. I think that he’s going to have a pretty deep run based on the vibes he’s giving off. I can see people being intimidated by his gameplay even if he’s attempting to lay low and that will be something to worry about. I’m curious to see more of his gameplay. Final Verdict: Early Jury

[sid]

Suzi
Honestly, I’m scared. She seems extraordinarily confident in her gameplay abilities and doesn’t seem like she’ll hesitate to make big moves rather than just say they’re going to because let’s be honest it’s easier to say I’m gonna cut a bitch than actually do it. I don’t know the format of mini-sequesters but if she’s able to adapt to the org format I think she’ll probably go far, or flop. Love to see it either way. Final Verdict: Late Jury

Chris
Okay 10 and a half minute king. I’m just gonna put this on 2x speed. I can’t tell if he’s a little jumpy or just because I’m watching this on 2x speed. My first impressions are that he has a solid grasp on what his playstyle is and how to play to his strengths. Long time orgers are scary. Final Verdict: Early Merge

Bridget
Okay Queen. She reminds me of a younger version of myself having no idea what’s going on in my tribe and at the bottom of the totem pole . Winning my heart with those potato chips. I want to get wine drunk with her but I don’t think she’s going to get quite there. Final Verdict: Pre/Early Merge

Joe
I love Joe. His dry tone just had me cackling. These are getting shorter because I don’t want to type much longer but I like his tattoos . He seems low-key here but I’m guessing he’s a big personality. I’m expecting a Rocky type game style full of drama and flair and if he doesn’t give me that I will be very sad. Give me all the drama Joe. Final Verdict: Pre/Early Merge

Jordan
Another 8 minute hero. Seems like he has a very similar strategy to Robbie going in. I can see them working together. He gives me soft kyle vibes. I think that people will gravitate towards him and trust him. I hope he doesn’t get first boot but maybe he will. I’m excited to see him play. Final Verdict: Mid/Late Jury

Nikki
The production quality. Prod team watch out, please incorporate kind of loud pop background music in all of the recorded skype calls, please and thank you. An absolute queen. Upbeat personality, sociable, coolheaded, definitely somebody that is going to go deep and still not be considered a threat. All the things that Charity was in our game which is why she was so scary. One of my picks to win. Late Jury/Final Tribal

[jordan]

The last three reveals!!!

Kevin: He has great energy right off the bat! But I want to know more! He's never played an ORG before, so how did he end up here? He's on the go recording and only gave us a short snippet of info. I think he's going to be a busy guy and if he isn't used to the amount of time it takes to do well in these games, I don't know how long he will last. But he does have a likable personality, so hopefully he can get in good with some loyal allies and adapt to the pace of the game. I look forward to learning more about Kevin.

Angelica: It just says video to come...so I will assume she's either extremely busy which won't bode well for her chances...or she's a procrastinator. Maybe I'll change my mind, but right now she's literally giving me nothing haha

Genki: I'm so excited to see Genki play, solely because his sister was such an icon last season! If he can bring half the entertainment she did, then I will be rooting for him to go far! He says he's here to slay our favs...which makes me a little nervous, but also currently I have so many favs from this cast reveal, so yes...he probably will have to slay some to do well in this game. But who knows, Genki may become one of my favs, I just hope he doesn't slay himself like his sister did!

[Charity]

Kevin - Another perfect example of somebody whose personality would kill it on the real show! He's extremely likable and charming, he will have no trouble making friends. He will come face to face with the hurtle that all newbies face. If every single person on his tribe is extremely active and making 1 on 1 calls, he might not realize that this is the norm and fall behind early. I'm hoping Kevin approaches this game properly because he has the tools to do well.

Angelica - The fact that she's waiting so long to submit a video has me worried, but I can say based on her interview that she is a super blunt person. People are going to love her or hate her... likely a polarizing character on her tribe. Her success depends on if she gets her shit together by tomorrow LOL!

Genki - I played a live game with Genki, and I loved him. Let's ignore the fact that I voted him out early... but I genuinely felt in each convo I had with him that he was a genuine trustworthy guy. I know in hindsight, however, that he's a player who places a high value on strategy. If he can combine his knowledge of Survivor with Jumi's vibes, he is going to be perfect casting. Love him sm but we'll see what he brings!

[wchristenfaith]

Here’s my rhyme/assessment for all of the players:
SORRY ITS SO CORNY BUT I HOPE Y'ALL ENJOY IT. 

Samantha has a natural talent for the game,
But the fact she’s won will hurt her, a blindside may bring her shame.

Brady is brilliant, but a bit paranoid,
But if he can keep his cool, he’ll make it far and miss the void.

Niki is sweet and very disarming,
But her time zone might prove to be a bit harming.

Logan has a very great game mindset,
But he could come across as smart, he could seem to be a threat.

Olivia has some of the best energy,
But it could end up bad if that’s what other players see

Molly is fun, has a great sense of humor,
If she can hide a bit, she could be the ruler.

Rocky is a wildcard ready for the war,
He could be set up if he can find a solid core

Kaitlyn’s very likable, a dark horse pick
But she needs to keep her guard up and be a little slick.

Trey is a question mark, a bit quirky,
But I wonder how his tribemates will receive him personally.

Kyle’s humor kills me, I’d want to work with him,
But he could play too hard, and his game could turn grim.

Jessica is funny, if she’s social she’ll do well
But as a new mother, I just can’t really tell.

Willow seems adaptable, she wants to switch things up,
If she is social enough, she could be setup.

Robert is so fun and he has a big brain
But his intellect could hurt him I can see him being slain.

If Gabby plays her cards right she could skate to the end,
But she needs to talk enough and find the right friend.

Robbie is my KING, a legend on his own,
But I hope he’s not blindsided and that he finds his zone.

Suzi is a firecracker and great at strategy,
But her sequester reputation could do harm to a degree.

Chris has mastered the social element of the game,
But with such a stacked cast, they might try to rob him of his fame.

Bridget is hilarious, an unfortunate first boot
But if she can form relationships she could be the season’s hoot.

Joe is really good at knowing how to lay low,
But he needs to keep his guard up so that he doesn’t take the blow.

Jordan seems inviting and really positive,
But in a stacked cast, we’ll have to see what he can really give.

Nikki’s really fun, a breath of fresh air
But I get blindsided vibes, hopefully there’s no despair.

Kevin is real cool, people could be drawn to him,
But in a cast of big players can he jump on the right limb?

Angelica seems outspoken, a spunky brunette
But she could be polarizing, she might make the wrong bet!

Genki is super charming and knows the game very well
But idk how he will do in orgs, we will see if he can gel.



ALL OUT SEASON 4, CHRIS10, OUT, *mic drop*

[rormoore]

"Sometimes you have to be snakey and sometimes you've gotta fight for yourself & of course I will do that if I have to. "

This reference is probably lost on most of you, but Kaitlyn reminds me a LOT of Lovina from Sequester and that in itself is a good first impression as far as I'm concerned! Most of the time in ORGs I'm worried about new players' activity levels coming into the season but Kaitlyn seems like the type that'll be able to get past those initial newbie hurdles with ease. Most of her video was talking about playing an honest and loyal game and I see a lot of new players come in with that mentality and immediately shift to the dark side - whether that happens or whether she manages to succeed in playing said honest game, I think Kaitlyn will be fun to watch and I expect her to go pretty far in this game.


"ASL?"

18 Questions with Trey Parker. I don't know if he was being sarcastic with his response re: his strategy coming into this game but I could see Trey being annoying and doing a little too much right away which will probably not end up well for him! With the people revealed on his tribe, I'm not sure if Trey will be able to integrate himself well or fit in and could burn out pretty quickly or be clocked hard by the more experienced players. That being said, I hope he can go far because I feel like he could add some messiness to the season. Also - he chose not to say Denise because she was overrated and then picked Parvati and well that made me laugh (coming from a Parvati stan do not attack me).


"I need to capitalise on every opportunity that I'm presented with"

Kyle!!! I'm super pumped to watch Kyle play this season; he played with me in my last ORG (Legacy) and he dominated that season on so many levels - from the get go, he was a strong social and strategic presence in the game and if he was able to win an extra challenge or two he 100% would have won the season. He seems pretty aware of his downfall in other seasons and I hope that this season he's able to manage his threat level whilst maintaining every other part of his game - and if he's able to do this or just come through with a win or two towards the end, I think this could be his game to win. He's really likable and funny and could click with more or less anyone which is definitely gonna be beneficial in a cast filled with a variety of personas and players so I have v high hopes for Kyle and hope he can come thru! 


"70% of people already know who I am and how psycho and chaotic I can be..."

I don't know Jessica that well but I played Austin's alias game with her a few weeks back and whilst it was just an alias game, Jessica had a strong social presence through and through and if she can do that over text, I have a lot of faith in what she can do over call on top of that. She hasn't played a proper ORG in a while since she had a kid and I assume that'll probably change her activity and availability on calls and stuff a little bit but hopefully it won't impact her game too much! All in all, I'm not sure how she'll play outside of her mentioning a lil bit of chaos towards the start of her video and if she can deliver on that? I'm content!

Now that all the players have been revealed and with the game starting later tonight...I wanted to make my initial speculations and wishlist for the current tribes.

Purple Tribe

1.) I would love a Samantha and Suzi duo. Two strong women who aren't afraid to speak up and get what they want. They could be a powerhouse team or they could be each other's self-destruction. But I want them to work closely together...so manifestation make it happen!

2.) I could see Brady, Logan, and Kyle coming together as a trio early on, but I want them to ultimately blow up from strategy overload.

3.) I want Nikki to work with Samantha and Suzi and try to pull in Kaitlyn for a women's group.

4.) I see Jordan as either being a pivotal swing or an early target. I hope he sides with the women because I think they are more likely to keep him long term.

5.) Biggest rivalry on this tribe. I'm going to guess Samantha and Brady. With some uneasy tension between Suzi and Nikki (though I really want the women to work together!)

6.) I also think Brady might have a one sided obsession with Jordan...take that however you like.

7.) Who will find the idol? Let's go Suzi! I really hope so, but if it's a cerebral idol hunt...I could see Brady, Kyle, and Logan taking it.

8.) Biggest Challenge asset: I'm going to guess genius Kyle will help pull out some crucial wins for the tribe.

Teal Tribe

1.) I want a Willow and Genki duo! I think they both have a quirky side and a brainy side and will be able to connect and conquer! 

2.) Joe will probably gravitate towards Angelica because he wants 'older' allies...But I hope he has a soft spot for Genki too.

3.) I hope Willow and Genki pull in Gabby and Niki and work on winning over Joe to get the majority.

4.) I can see Robert wanting to work with Rocky, but Rocky wanting nothing to do with the mathematics teacher.

5.) I think the first vote could come down to either Niki or Rocky.

6.) Biggest rivalry: My money is on Genki vs. Rocky

7.) Who will find the idol? Rocky. With his back up against the wall, I think he will go hard on an idol hunt and come out victorious.

8.) Biggest challenge asset: Robert's math and teaching skills will be the saving grace for this tribe.

Yellow Tribe

1.) I think this will be our split down the middle tribe. If so, I want Bridget, Olivia, Molly, and Robbie vs. Chris, Kevin, Trey, and Jessica.

2.) It will appear to be boys vs. girls on the surface with both Jessica and Robbie playing both sides and spilling the tea.

3.) Biggest Rivalry: Bridget vs. Kevin - Bridget will plan to lay low, but immediately try to rally people to target Kevin for being less active. This will create the initial divide between the two groups.

4.) Trey and Robbie will be a secret duo, but ultimately Robbie will side with the ladies and keep Trey as an option in his back pocket.

5.) Who will find the idol? Robbie will be a busy bee playing both sides, having secret deals, and finding the tribe idol. He will then tell too many people he found it until it becomes common knowledge. 

6.) If this tribe loses, either Robbie gets Trey to flip or Jessica jumps ship to avoid rocks and one of the men goes home first.

7.) Molly and Bridget will make a final two deal...please, please, please!

8.) Biggest Challenge asset: Olivia will bring the most experience to the challenges and help her tribe excel.
