"I'm going to try to make people feel like they're my #1... even if they're not"
Awareness! I was going to write something about how I like people play their second game but upon reading some other posts it seems like she's a Tumblr player and also played Conquest so there goes that! Willow seems to be a cool person and can see the importance of building 1 on 1 relationships in these games over call; she says she wants to play under the radar and I just.. don't know if I can see that? Just the vibe I got from her video makes me think that she'll have a presence on her tribe and in the game & I can see Willow doing decently well - not really giving me winner vibes or anything but not an early boot either.
"I want exciting TV, I want good blindsides, I'm here to have a great time but also WIN."
I AM NOT READY! Robert was one of the first people I can remember from the Sequester community - boy is an absolute mess and in the best way possible. He's super chaotic and messy and entertaining and practically everything that I want to see in a player. He's got some actual ORG experience under his belt now so I have higher hopes for him in this season than I did in his prior. Robert has a super fun personality and as long as he doesn't over-do it, I could see him doing really well in this season despite how big of a character he is. I also love a good whiteboard so he further sold me when he pulled that up. His strategy basics... well they're kind of accurate to be honest... but it should be fun seeing if he's able to implement solid strategy into this game whilst maintaining his desire to create good TV.
"Yeah... I'm fucking weird."
I adore Gabby and not to blow my own trumpet but I was the person who reached out to her on instagram and got her to come into the community hehehe... That being said, I'm not sure how I feel about Gabby's chances coming into this season? She's in another ORG at the moment that's just hitting the merge phase so with the game set to start tonight, I don't know how she's going to cope with balancing the 2 games at the same time - it's something I wouldn't want to deal with nor know how to deal with, so good luck to her! If she's able to balance things well, I think Gabby could be a huge threat in this game - there's a number of Sequester players and she's someone who watches the minis without playing so her knowledge of how they play the game could be a huge asset to her game this season since she'll be able to bond easily with them or have the ammunition to put a target on them if needed.
 "I'm here to win. If that means cutting somebody? I'll cut a bitch. If that means lying to people? Consider yourself lied to."
I know I've said I'm excited to watch a lot of people play (s/o to production for such a dope cast) but I am really really excited to watch Robbie play - I didn't get to watch him in his first ORG but I've played with him and hosted him in alias games and despite his placements not being great, they didn't represent his ability or commitment to the games in any shape nor form. Every season that I've seen him in, Robbie has been a super active social and strategic presence in the games - in Alter Ego, he was in a LOT of alliances to the point where he had to create an alliance chart to keep up with who HE was aligned with. I think that alias games can really help people to become stronger players (at least imo!) and that having a few alias games under his belt can definitely help him to do well in his "second" game. I think Robbie is locked for a deep-run in this game unless he plays too hard too fast; he just gotta remember that the pace of the alias games =/= the pace of an actual ORG - if he can remember this and just play the game as it comes, I have superrrrrrrrrr high hopes for him.

"I want to fucking win... I have cut my best friend - I will cut these people too."
Y'all are NOT ready for Suzi F Garcia. Suzi has won Sequester twice and that's a huge accomplishment in itself - but if I'm being completely honest I think that Suzi's play style and approach to the game is more suitable for an ORG than it is for Sequester. I don't think she'll be underestimated nor will people forget about her because people in this cast will be familiar with Sequester and the moment she has the 2 win reputation attached to her, I think she'll be deemed a threat regardless of what she does. I hope that the whole Sequester label isn't attached to Suzi nor to any of the Sequester players for that matter, because Suzi is a super independent player and will do what is best for HER game regardless of whether she knows some other people more than others. She's a fierce strong woman and player and I hope that Suzi can adapt well to the different kind of intensity that an ORG offers.
 "If I see that the direction of the game isn't going in the way that I want it to, I'm not afraid to right the path and insert my voice and switch it up."
I think Chris is going to a very dangerous presence in this game for the vast majority of this cast. He's an experienced player and has a lot of intel not just on ORGs as a whole, but specifically on a lot of these players. I know he's viewed and helped host a number of people in this cast and is someone who used to play Sequester minis way back when. He holds a lot of information that could blow up a lot of people's game with ease and I think that it'll be fun to see how Chris uses said information in this game. He's a complex strategic and social player and I'm looking forward to hearing his insight into everything via confessionals and is super aware of how he comes across and how he's played in the past. On a personal level, I'm very much rooting for Chris (and love his new hair) but as a viewer I hope that he's killed kind of early because I want to see some of the people who has intel on play without labels and such being attached to them.
 "It literally can't get worse..." (or can it...?)
Too. Much. Focus. On. Idol(s). I'm not really sure what to expect from Bridget in this game. She seems cool and I think her approach to the game/strategy will be pretty different to the others in the cast - but I'm not sure in what way this'll be, it's a bit of a hot take. It sucks to be taken out with an idol but I think she needs to build a bridge and get over it because if she's focusing too much on the past and the whole idol fiasco she won't have her eye on the ball - the other season happened and now's the time to focus on taking this one as it comes rather than just as a continued version of her previous.
"I don't want to play passive."
I'm not that familiar with Joe but he gave decent insight into his approach to the game via his video. I'm not a huge fan of how focused he seems to be on genders and age coming into the season - I'm someone who just vibes with people regardless of their gender, age, location etc. so to hear him talking about now having a same sex FTC and not wanting to talk to "younger" people kind of rubs me the wrong way? I think that if Joe comes into this game with that mentality it's not gonna end up well for him so hopefully his actual gameplay is different to the approach he presented in his intro video. Don't have super duper high hopes for him but hopefully he can change my opinion. |

Kevin
Seems like he’s going to play a great social game, he has a good energy level that I think will serve him well. He’s going to go through the growing pains that all beginner’s go through but if he survives I think he’s going to play extremely well. Otherwise, it’ll be an easy pre-merge vote out. Final Verdict: Pre-Merge/Early Merge
Angelica
I really like Angelica. She seems like her personality might be hit or miss but if she can gel with her tribe members she’s gonna do well for herself. It doesn’t bode well that it took her this long to get her VL video in but hopefully she’s able to put in the time to make an impact. Rooting for her. Final Verdict: Early Merge
Genki
I liked Genki’s energy. Something about his video seemed off but maybe that’s just me. Excited to see how he plays. Self-proclaimed may not be as good as he thinks he is but I’m expecting some big moves. Final Verdict: Early Merge.

Let's be real, if I was going to do a pre-season thought on every player here, this post would be 90% "OMG I LOVE ____" and no one needs to read that. (Except the players later, I guess... in which case, I literally love you all and am so attached to everyone already.) That said, I think what I'll do for now is just do a little write up on the tribes and my top picks from each tribe. Truthfully, I think this cast is so stacked with skilled social and strategic characters that it's impossible to know how this is going to go down until I see these bitches interact. Your VL video outlining your strategy is all well and good, but I want to see how you operate when you're dealt a hand. I want to see how you present yourself to others, who you vibe with, and what bonds start forming from the jump. I know I'll have way more to say when I've seen how tonight goes down. Aparri
This. Tribe. Is. Stacked. Charity and I have been saying we will be devastated when they go to tribal. There are so many strategically savvy people on this tribe, I really have no idea who is going to be the boss yet. There is a good mix of more experienced ORGers and new faces.My personal favs: Kyle, SuziA bit worried for: JordanKoror
Ok maybe I was wrong and I'll be actually devastated when THIS tribe goes. I just have such character investment in this tribe. Honestly, I have a weird gut feeling that the winner might be on this tribe. It's just a feeling. Don't @ me when they become last season's Xevious RIP. I feel like this tribe is bursting with personality and it could be messy but it will undoubtedly be beautiful. My personal favs: Olivia, Robbie A bit worried for: Jessica MaraamuGahhh they cute tooooo. This tribe is the biggest  for me just because I have a hard time figuring out who is going to vibe with who. Like the other tribes, a good variation in experience in ORGs. I honestly feel like this tribe could be the Hot Mess Express but I love me a disaster. I personally enjoy everyone on this tribe and think they will deliver no matter what. I feel like there are some big personalities here who are especially hungry. My personal favs: Niki, Gabby A bit worried for: Angelica xoxo k bye |

 what is this shit!?! He does Branding but he has 2 different names on here (a very bad marketing choice?!?!) AND he says he does digital/social media, but looking at his profile you'd think he's a DJ!!!! |

That said: Logan is my favourite of this entire cast. His dedication to researching, the fact that he almost certainly browses unspoiled edgic like me, his insane tenacity and desire to manipulate and fool people? Beautiful. I hope he does really well. I for one am cheering for this DJ who studies human psychology and takes extensive notes on people. I think he's going to be character of the season and have a real shot at winning
