Welcome Back

[alex]

Hugo - I am jealous of his dual citizenship. I WANT IT! Oaxaca is an awesome, beautiful place. He has a good look, but I honestly feel like he is kinda like the pageant queen on the real show who is like "I WON PAGEANTS, THAT'S SO COMPETITIVE, LIKE IF I CAN DO THAT THEN THIS IS NOTHING TO ME!" cue someone gorgeous to look at but completely out of their league.

Casey - NOT watching 12 minutes of video. ESPECIALLY when she is like not doing anything exciting, besides you know the noises that she makes when she puts her legs behind her head. I skipped around, cause seriously TWELVE MINUTES. I do like playing dumb, but I dunno. Maybe I should have watched the video tbh.

Mateusz - I think he is going to have a hard time fitting in. Mostly because of the English barrier, I could see some of the more cultured players wanting to get to know him and learn about his culture, but in terms of game-play I think people will get super frustrated with his English and think he is unable to like actually strategize or something. Because you know, ignorance. He seems like he could be a huge character though, for the... three rounds he will last #SecondChances season, anyone?

Taylor - She sounds basic. She knows Samm, like in real life, and Lexi who I think is the same one on the cast? Which means that she could have some connections, a sixth place win means she HAS to be good. Her video makes her sound like a pretty bad player, she said "no strategy" which means she could be a huge follower. "Cast me cause I'm probably prettier than the other ones," someone's conceited. I wanna watch her crash and burn.

William - He gave that super typical speech of "I would do anything to win, like lie, cheat, and steal." BUT I love that he wants to beat the best at the end, and doesn't want the goats around. Totally my type of player. I honestly think he is gonna be overwhelmed like most new super fans, I think he is gonna overplay his hand but will be entertaining while he lasts.

Ricky - He probably already has a million connections going in, right? I honestly don't think Ricky is a bad player but for once I would LOVE to see him play with a WHOLE new cast so he doesn't have to rely on pre-exisiting relationships like he has done the last times I've seen him play. I think he is gonna do good, but meh. Ricky's entertaining, at the very least, so... there's that.

Samm - LOVE HIM! He is like my little brother. Love him. If you don't love him, you are wrong.

Ryan - I am excited to see him play, I hope that he does deliver and is not just making himself sound better than he is. I love his shirt, if anything. I think I will like him, but I hope that if he is a super villain like he claims we have a super villain battle between him and Ricky.

Giovanni - The background music, like WHAT?! Is this gonna turn into a porn? Cause I am gonna stop this video right now, I do NOT want to see that. I am partially deaf too so it's hard to even hear what the fuck he is saying. I guess he is musical though, which would make you think he would pick a better song for his background, or actually make it background music and not at the same volume as his talking... *cue 5 minute chat about Dr. Phil* Is it me or does this sound like a dating video? "I'm funny and optimistic and bubbly, and I am like insane, did you hear my mom? I like long walks on the beach, and horse back riding." Making a 30 year old call him a twatsicle is SUCH a an achievement! (Over him, obviously)

Fourteen videos left, but I need to start showering and such... how big is this cast even?

[jess]

Molly Jodi arias!! She is going to be a huge social threat! She knows so many people in this cast. She will definitely make merge unless something crazy happens. I think she might only have beef with Ricky maybe but they could work together. She is definitly one to watch

I never played with Allan but I heard great things and that he does great roasts I hope he goes far

I've heard great things about Vanessa as well. She is definitly going to be with Jesse if they meet up but like Jesse I think she is connected but doesn't have the stigma of being in any big groups. She is definitly going far like Molly unless something crazy happens. I think she could far better through because she is more nuetral when it comes to the endure.

[Head PW 2.0]

Hugo- um, HOLA! I love his personality, he's charming. The one thing I noticed is that he does tend to sound a bit arrogant in regards to his game play. Everyone likes to believe they have it all but if this is his first ORG or being new to the community, he could be in for a world of hurt if he acts that way in the game (I'm thinking arrogance like Spencer in Cambodia) but I want to believe that he'd get to the jury phase because of his strengths and be picked off for jury threat, or he could be a Jared Spiehler type, who knows? He's definitely one of my favorite newbies I've seen in any orgs recently based on first impressions.
Prediction: Mid-jury

Casey- I love Casey as a person. She has so much energy, so much personality. She brought a lot of life to her Dakshin Rai tribe in Endure, which is why I disagree with Jared calling her boring. I mean she ripped the head off a stuffed animal [insert Chaos Casey video] She is also very smart & strategic, she was the head of her alliance in Endure, She made it to final tribal in conquest but her downfall there was that she lacked the jury management skills needed to win. That's her downfall in these orgs, she gets so invested in what she personally is doing that she forgets to care about the people around her. I think that if she can take what she's learned from Endure & Conquest and bring it to CYS she has potential but unfortunately I think the amount of Endure people plus her ties to them, plus how many orgs she's played recently, I think she'll go early.
Prediction: Late Pre-jury

Mateusz aka favorite person ever. I mean Adele. Hello, it's me. I watched Mateusz in BBBasics and fell in love. I have mixed feelings on how he'll do in this game though. It honestly depends on his tribe. He was a good player in BBBasics and he's smart, but I think he could be misunderstood. However, a little birdy told me he's on Samm's tribe, so I could see Samm loving him. I think he'll make it around the midpoint of the game. I don't really have solid reasoning behind that but there are people who know how Mateusz did in BBBasics (specifically one of the people that hosted him, aka Keith)
Prediction- 1st Merge boot

Taylor- TSL is touch and go when it comes to skype games. She did really well in Endure, but not in pro or iS. I love Taylor's personality, but her going so far in Endure was due more to the fact that she was the least threatening in her original alliance and then she went on an immunity run to save herself till final 6. She talks about hanging out with Samm in her video, and they were literally together last night. I think if she wants to do well this season she has to step up her strategic game and not just relying on other people and immunity wins.
Prediction- Pre-jury

Will- I had to watch his video three times because I kept forgetting who he was. And I realized if I had to watch 3 times then he's probably not going to be my favorite. He used a lot of hand motions, I remember that. I think that he will be an early boot. I think he'll try too hard too fast and rub people the wrong way. Especially if he's on Ricky's tribe. He came across as the type of person that tries to be a villain but isn't a villain, just a try hard.
Prediction- 1st 3 boots.

Ricky- Okay Ricky is one of those people who I have a love-hate relationship with and he knows it. We have our moments when we just push each others buttons but at the end of the day, love the guy. Ricky is a character 100%. he will bring the drama, the alcohol, the crazy. I mean watch the Endure S1 pressure cooker and you'll see Ricky as a player and as a character. Ricky is also very well known. Like Samm, 3/4 of this cast know him. The difference between Ricky and Samm is that Ricky tends to be more of a shield because of how outspoken he is, he's always a bigger target. He does really well usually. He's able to make friends, I mean jeez the guy calls me Asslee and I still love him. Ricky said he doesn't care what people say but he does to an extent just because he reacts before thinking. Ricky and Molly don't like each other. Ricky and Samm go back and forth but I don't think they'll fight, I think they'll work together as much as possible (while both still having their side deals).
Prediction- Jury

Samm- It's no secret that I hate Sammuel Paul Loveridge's guts. He's the worst ever. I hear he started a gang called the yellow teeth mafia and is a bleach blond aggot. Okay, Samm is like the little brother I never wanted but got anyway. I love him, he's one of my closest friends, he never plays these skype games (usually just alias), but the problem samm is going to have is the fact that literally 3/4 of this cast he knows and most are his friends. That's going to put a huge target on his back from the beginning. He's fully aware that he will likely flop because people keep telling him they got cast and he's actually stressed about how he's going to play it. samm is literally the definition of a catty gay, but he's also very strategic, and after hosting, he knows winning formulas for games. It's really just a matter of him making the right connections initially, not relying on pregame relationships and not playing this ultra-catty gay character all the time. I want him to do well, I know he could do well, but sadly I see him going in prejury.

Ryan Gherman- I actually don't know him. I've heard his name but never met him or seen him play. So I'm guessing there are quite a few people in the cast who haven't either which might be great for him. I think that being lesser known is going to be great in this game, because while yes there are a lot of pregame relationships, there is also a lot of pregame history and drama, and so those lesser known people are going to be good to scoop up for the battle of the big names. That being said, he claims he's usually a villain and so I can see that either being a blessing (helloooooo shield) or a curse because it pisses people off.
Prediction- late pre-jury

Ryan Giovanni- Okay, at this point I don't want to watch 8 minutes of someone I already know and have seen play. Sorry Ryan, ily. Ryan interviewed for endure twice. his first interview I thought he was the sweetest kid and just had this energy. Then he played conquest and he blew up his own game. He did good in Big Brovival and made final 2. So I know he can do well, but he can come off the wrong way when approaching situations. He needs to act not react and he needs to work on his personal relationships with people.
Prediction- Jury

Ashley Clark- hi. i'm. the. better. ashlee. and i'm. like. not. into. talking. uh like. uh this. Her video annoyed me. Sorry not sorry. She seems like that bitchy "popular" girl from high school that people pretended they liked because she's pretty but really they were annoyed with and talked shit behind her back. Maybe I'm wrong, it's been known to happen, but that's what I got from her video. Lucky for her, people like that person to work with in orgs. SOmeone else said they can see her and Tay getting along, but I see them butting heads. Battle of the bitchy brunette?
Moving on.
Oh prediction- sadly jury.

Tyler- okay I think it's cute that he typed a speech and literallly read it word for word. I think it shows the dedication and how much he is willing to do. I mean have you written a speech, it's hard! I think he's definitely going to be a newbie to watch. He seems like he'll bring the social game, I want to see him develop into a strategic player though. Just please for the love of god don't write speeches for your tribal council question videos and confessionals. I'm not here for rehearsed speeches all the time.
Prediction- Jury

Saxon- Pass.

Constance- not here for the premade with Ricky. Ricky literally brought her into orgs. So please girl branch out. I think that if she doesn't play her idol at first tribal she goes to, she could be gone because I think she's on Samm's tribe, so samm will want to break the pregame with ricky.
Prediction- Prejury

Devon- I don't know him. But I don't know how well he'll do. I think it definitely depends on who is on his tribe. I think he could be someone who gets screwed by the twist early on, which could be a shame, idk I don't have much to say about him.

Jesse- someone asked me once if he was my brother. He could only be so lucky. And okay please don't make your videos so long. I can't. Jesse is definitely sassy, all I know about him as a player is that he went really early in pro5. And that's legit it. I think he will be too paranoid with the twist and it will annoy people. I think he'll go early.

Mikki- she was one of my favorite newbies of Conquest 2 and I was so mad when Eric Brodin betrayed her (but welcome to the club that's what he does!). I love her accent. I love her sass, I love her social game. I think she can do really well with this cast. I could see her being Ricky's person. I love her.
Prediction- Jury. I could see her at FTC too though if she makes the right alliances but not the winner.
(side note, she and her irl friend Caroline got the same placement in Conquest and i will cry if they get the same placement in CYS)

Dalton is so full of sass, but he is not a bitch. I played one game with Dalton and he is smart, he's very aware of what's happening and he's great at puzzles. I haven't ever seen him in an org like this though, so I don't know how he'll handle the commitment difference. He's also very busy. I think he's charming and could make allies but not if he's inactive.
Prediction- mid pre-jury

Frank- Frank can be entertaining. I was on a tribe with him though and he could be frustrating too. He's very stubborn sometimes and he can be very in your face. I mean that could just be because I was the outsider but if he's toned it down, he'll go far. I'm getting tired of writing these so sorry, but prediction- jury

Alex Finley- THIS BITCH. She is a funny person, she was able to pull her tribe together in Endure and then she was the threat from her tribe going into merge. She will hit on the female hosts. She will get first jury member. She will be bitter. She will flip out. She will make final tribal interesting.

Keith- HEY HEY. love that top. He needs a new jaundice filter though. He's got good hair for a broom. He's great. He's friendly, he's very perceptive and he is so much fun. In Endure his final 2 was Jamie and I don't know that anyone in this cast will fill that role in this season. Compared to other bigger names, he is not a bigger threat. He's done well in games and I want to see him do very well. In Endure, he treated it as an allstars game due to the number of well-known people and pregame relationships. I think he'll have to do that in this game too. He doesn't work with people he's known pregame and that will be his advantage, he can rope in the newbies and take out those bigger names. Keith will be the person to really try to expose Ricky/Samm for all their pregame connections though.
Prediction- Late jury.

Christian- He's charismatic. Does he live with his family? If so how is he going to do a video org, all carfessionals? If not, do carfessionals anyway. They're fun! One time I did a skype call with Brandon Hodges on my way to subway. he was worried about my safety but I needed that turkey sandwich. Anyway back to Christian. I think I love the fact that he's played for 10 years and I have no idea who he is. You go Glen Coco. I see him either at the end or early jury. Depends on how much of a target he puts on his own back.

Ethan- I lost interest real quick.

Simon- Once upon a time I gave him a nickname and then it got over used and it makes him mad now. So he's going to be a little bitch in this game when that's how he's referred. Samm will call him butthole simon. Molly will call him butthole simon. Casey will call him butthole simon. Anyway, I hope someone throws a challenge to get him out early because karma.

It's no secret that Molly was my favorite in Endure Season 2, she's my favorite daughter I never had, she's snarky, she's scumblr through and through and she's VERY strategic. Molly can get feisty and I love it. She also may or may not be a murderer who stabbed her boyfriend 42 times. But that doesn't matter, she will be great. But she also has pregame connections that could hurt her (I said this in Endure too though and she got the 7th place goddess spot so idk). I want her to win. I see her getting late jury or making it to FTC.

Allan Fogg is the love of my life. He's so funny, one time I was on call with him and he took a bath with a glass of wine while on call. He gives zero fucks. I met him and we had coffee and went to the Disney store and he was so great. I have been wanting him to play another skype game since iS macedonia and so I'm so excited to see him here. he's my winner pick. He's great.

Vanessa's video isn't here and I'm tired of writing at this point. So I'm just going to say she's done really well before. Her and Jesse will work together if they meet up. Jury.

THOUGHTS FROM MEDIEVAL EUROPE'S 2ND PLACE SWEETHEART, STEPHEN

Hugo- I'm a fan

Casey- MY FAROE ISLANDS MOM <3. Loved working with her in Conquest. She was my 3rd favorite ally (Kyle Newman and Brandon Dean Clark forever <3). I hope she does well here and if she can combine her fun, feisty personality with the strategy she showed in Conquest, I think she's a real contender. TBH I didn't watch too much of her video so I'm just going off of what I experienced when I played with her. I think if she can win people over early on, she's got a good shot of going far but if not...RIP mom

Matuesz- Y'all...this is like an out-of-body experience for me. Mateusz being Marta is like...wow. I played with Marta/Mateusz back in like 2011 on an old TAR based forum where his penchant for repping UTR blondes began with Guatemala's Morgan McDevitt. Needless to say, my life was changed forever. Matuesz please win.

Taylor- She seems kinda fun? I feel like I'll enjoy her confessionals. As for her standing in the game? No idea but should be fun!

William- Aside from the lie/cheat/steal blah blah blah thing I like him! I do agree with his bit about people making it through adversity being better players. Again, no idea on how he'll do in the game. Think he could go either way and either rock it, or overplay. Alsoooo TWINNIE FAN <3

Ricky- Never actually played w/ him but I vaguely experienced him in Chronicles All-Stars 2. He comes across pretty likable in his video though!

Samm- Idk him except that he's the main Endure guy BUT I really liked him in his intro vid .

Ryan Gherman- I adore him already. I feel like I'd love watching him play but idk how I'd love to play with the guy? Meh. I'm excited either way to see how it turns out.

Ryan Giovanni- I only really know him from The Genius: Icons, but he was enjoyable there. I also agree with the sentiments about the music like....what?? Dr. Phil <3

Ashley- oh my god. I kind of love her for some reason? She reminds me of someone Marta would alias as if they were on the show and idk I just feel like she's gonna do well.

Tyler- Okay I kind of love him? (I feel like I've said this about the entire cast but I'm SERIOUS with him). He's so eager and I just...I just really am rooting for his success and I hope he does well! He's definitely someone I'd love to get to know and align with if I played with him.

Saxon- AHHH QUEEN. FIRST BOOT GODDESS!!!! Brandon Dean Clark and I had the honor of playing with him for one round in Conquest 2: The Faroe Islands and he was, in a word, mess. He formed an alliance called "The Pretty People" super early on and excluded me and Corey Morgan (the best duo that ever was tyvm) (<3 you though Saxon) but he played wayyyy too hard wayyyy too quick and got promptly booted 8-1 because of it. I want him to do well but he's just gotta take a step back and let people dig their own holes rather than trying to do it himself because otherwise, he's gonna fall in. I really want him to do well, but I just...I don't see it happening :/.

Constance- Her voice intrigues me. That was the first thing I noticed. She used the word strategical <3. Other than that, no real read on her.

Devon- Again, didn't really know him aside from knowing OF him in Chronicles. Seems like he'll be fun to watch too!

Jesse- Got no real read on him and tuned after about a minute

Mikki- !!!! QUEEN QUEEN QUEEN!!!!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH AND I AM SO SORRY I VOTED YOU OUT BECAUSE I LOVE YOU MIKKI SO MUCH. She's a dog warrior. I'm a Mikki warrior. Have I mentioned how iconic she is? Literally during Conquest, Brandon would not stop telling me how much he was in love with her and I was like "okay I get it yeah she's rad". SORRY I BETRAYED YOU MIKKI I LOVE YOU.

Dalton- Lol he's a riot already. I hope he goes far.

Frank- OH BOY. FRANK VENABLE!!!!!! FUCK YEAHHHHHHH. SO. I first saw Frank in Survivor: Warriors 3 where he played as Jonny Fairplay and...did not do so hot. He tends to not play so great in alias games but I adore him because he's got a great heart. He DID win immunity for me in Conquest so shoutout to him for that (and then me tanking my own game but w/e). Frank's a good guy but he tends to be a bit...loud/forceful/boisterous/etc. and that may rub folks the wrong way. He's got a good enough head on his shoulders and if he gets in with the right group, I can see him going far. ALSO shoutout to him for hosting the series where I won a game in!

Lexi- IDK her but I liked her from her video!

Keith- I think he'll make it far. I like the idea of laying low and letting others take out threats (hey me in CYS17). Throwing challenges though??? Idk...

Christian- I like him a lot. I think he's gonna be a fun narrator throughout the season.

Ethan- Loved him and then he dropped a scream queens reference. THAT BEING SAID... I was really engrossed with what he was saying and I just wanted to hear more from him so if that's any sign, I think he might do well socially.

Simon- He seems fun from the few times I've talked to him. I'm gonna love his commentary at the very least, that's for damn sure.

Molly- My Tumblr Mom <3. Local queen! Molly's someone who I absolutely adore and (IMO) just is super fun to talk to. I've never actually played with her but I think she'll go far.

Allan Fogg- <3. So much. Bar none one of the nicest people I've ever met (sorry, Allan. I know you hate when I say that). He always gave me pep talks during CYS and Conquest and just checked in to make sure I was okay. He's seen me play and grow so much over this past year and I just adore Allan Fogg and I want it to be known. In terms of how he'll do in the game, he better fucking win.

Vanessa- IDK her and no video so no comment


Winner Pick: Christian

Faves: Tyler <3, Allan <3, Frank <3, Molly <3, Casey <3, Mikki <3, Mateusz <3

[alex]

Ashley - Another basic girl. Seventeen. Early boot. Taylor & Ashley getting together to make a Pumpkin Spice Latte alliance though it's very tempting.

Tyler - He is a huge enigma to me, he sounds so... intellectual in this video? Like the words he use are kind of beyond his years in a way? It's too professional, which is kind of adorable in a way. I think he definitely could be a good underdog to root for. He seems like a good person, though I'm not too sure of his stand on the game.

Saxon - He for some reason makes me think of those people who act like a diva because they think everyone loves divas, but are not really like that, they just wanna fit in SO bad that they gossip, and talk shit, and act tough but they are not. Like, he is gonna make this confessionals trying to be funny and mean, and like "shade" but it's not gonna be funny, or entertaining, and I'm just gonna end feeling bad for this individual who feels like he has to act a certain way for people to like him.

Constance - She seems nice. Why is she controversial? I think I could root for her, I think that it's adorable that she wants to get to know people, and friends, but is also willing to be strategic but knows this is mostly about an experience.

Devon - I like the fact that he has learned from his past experiences, and like looked back at his other game and realized where he went wrong and wants to grow from it. I like that a lot, and I think someone who is willing to grow and analyze could do very well. I'm def #teamDevon

Jesse - I like that he is involved with student life because I was as well. He sounds like a social threat already, though I did laugh out loud when he said "I know how to be at the bottom," but either way he sounds like someone who could be interesting to watch. His eyebrows are distracting though.

Mikki - She likes drama? Sounds like more than half the cast. I love her accent, and that she is a punny person. AND SHE LOVES CORGIS!!! I am not super excited for her, she seems kinda blah, but I am excited from what Brandon said in his description.

Dalton - OTT, he kinda overdoes it, right? He reminds me a lot of Ragan Fox the way he talks, who I actually liked. I hope he doesn't like yell at every single confessional though, but it's way better than background porn music.

Frank - KOROR BUFF! THAT INTRO! MAGIC EIGHT BALL! SO MUCH YES ALREADY! A good UTR player is always entertaining, I could see Frank being kinda the narrator of the season kind of arc, which I always enjoy, and if he is as funny as he seems then I am so beyond game!

Lexi - I loved her when I watched for on iS and I was really sad she went out as early as she did. She has a feud with Ricky, right? Maybe. Anyways, she works for Disney, or is gonna again, which omg I don't know how she can do that because our schedules here do not let us play AT ALL. I love Lexi though, she is fun, and my kind of person.

Keith - I have heard of Keith before, he has a huge reputation but I have never played with him, and I didn't pay much attention in Endure 1. He intrigues me a lot, and especially because of his reputation. I think he sounds like a smart, sound player who could bring a lot to the game. He seems like a competitor, which I absolutely love. I feel like I would get along with Keith, which gives him props, obviously.

Christian - I like that he uses ORG's as an outlet, I used to do that a lot. He seems nice, and smart, like an overall good player. I hope he does well, and he really intrigues me a lot on what he could actually bring to the game.

Ethan - He sounds boring. But yay Florida! "I'm maaaaaking, my waaaaay, to claaaaaaaasssssss". NO. People who describe themselves as funny are 9/10 not funny people. He's obsessed with his phone, sounds like he would be a horrible friend to hang out with.

Simon - He seems OTT, his main source of fun are ORG's which I guess it's a lot of people's, but like... I don't know, he makes me wanna like just not even watch his videos. I feel like a lot of these young people are pretty much the same person but with a different like look to them, but they all remind me a lot of each other. They all say they have no talents, and they try to be funny, and talk about how fun it is to backstab people, and they love coffee and I'm just like, why are you are the same?!

Molly - Not watching the video, I watched Endure 2 and I absolutely despised Molly the entire game, but I will give her a chance this time, which means I will not watch her video so that I do not start my own bias before the season even starts.

Allan - Allan Fogg is basically one of the coolest dudes I know, and I miss talking to him. He is super charming, super smart, and super emotional which makes him SO entertaining to watch. And I just want him to do good like SO bad, because he is basically adorable.

Vanessa - No video, or no previous knowledge of her = no opinion at all.

[richie]

Hugo - Rooting for him! Seems to have what it takes but like someone else mentioned - is there an ego there that could ruin him?

Casey - If anything I think she will be hilarious to watch - but she is cursed like myself with the ability to ramble. I did not finish her video. I stopped at the part where she realised she had inadvertently pulled her hair out whilst talking lols.

Mateuz - Every game I ever play with a Polish person, they become my number one and we rock it out. So naturally I am rooting for this guy and hope he is as amazing as he comes across :3

Taylor - She was likeable! But didn't stand out - which is actually a great thing going into this game if she can just lie low in the majority.

William - Seems like he will play the villain? I can see him being an early target simply for coming across like a villain haha.

Ricky - He seems really cool! I will be rooting for Ricky to go really far - but I know how good he is - based on reputation so I don't want him to win unless he goes through Hell to get it. O:)

Samm - Played a mini with him once. He won. I didn't vote for him to win lol. That being said he does seem nice - but I stopped watching his video because he needs to sort his lighting issues out BEFORE he presses record JESUS that's basic tbfh.

Ryan Gh - Maybe I'm way off cos everyone seems to like him but I got Johnny Fairplay vibes. If so, that's great! but I just notice in the comments others are seeing him a bit different haha.

Ryan Gi - I think he's a sweetheart! I want him to go super far and have a great time!

Tyler - Probably my all-round fave. Besides being too beautiful, he also seems way too nice and so he could find it hard to get to the end if he comes across that way to others - but this cast is such a shit show maybe it could work for him? At the same time... this cast is such a shit show maybe it won't.

Saxon - I didn't really feel like I enjoyed his video. Will have to watch his confessionals to see if he can change my mind.

Constance - There is something about her that makes me want to see her do well. Maybe it's because that would ultimately surprise me and i like to see players suprise me. Anyway - she's in my fantasy team so God help me. #Pray4Constance But also - I want to see her get a great reputation but let it come naturally and not feel too forced. If that makes sense...

Devon - I like that he really seemed to want to redeem himself this time around. I would like to see him do it!

Jesse - Jesse is lovely. I got to play with him recently and he's got a lot of fight but it's not super obvious initially. I think he'll connect super well with so many people that he could go really far.

Mikki - She's great! Weirdly, I don't think i'd get along with her myself, although we might, who knows. I love how she talks and the way she puts things. Cant wait to watch her play!

Dalton - I think he'll give us some great confessionals but I'm not too sure what to expect from him to be honest.

Frank - Im getting confused but I think this is the beard guy!? With the shades. HMMMM I think i could like him if he gives good confessionals. We shall see!

Lexi - I want all her confessionals to be tipsy with dogs in them. I really liked her video!

Keith - I loved the start how he talked about wanting to change the perception of him. That really intrigued me. But then he started going on about past games and he lost me. But I'm interested to see how he executes his goal and if he succeeds in not being seen as a threat. He's gonna be surrounded by a lot of fucking weird people and he may naturally stand out as being a normal, capable human being which could put a target on his back.

Christian - I liked him, I remember this (its been days since I watched his video haha) I just dont think he was a standout for me so he could go either way as the season progresses. Which is FINE.

Ethan - I watched a little bit of Ethan. I think the same as with Christian ^ I think I just didnt pay attention that day...

Simon - He seems nice - I think I cast him for Alsace Lorraine on wikia but that's all i know cos I quit hosting once the cast was revealed oops.

Molly - I really liked her video she seems interesting, funny, and sensible (in comparison to the majority of people cast). I hope she goes far!

Allan - He does this thing where he wont look at the camera and then he does and he smiles brightly for a split second then it fades and he looks away. Haha i found him pretty fascinating so it will be cool to see if the old codger can hang in there.

Vanessa - I did not see her video, therefore... I will not comment on it.

[jared]

Keith is going to be a fun character, I never got the chance to watch him play in CONQUEST, but I'll be happy to see how he plays this time around.


A11an!!!! IM SUPER HAPPY HE'S PLAYING!! I love his enthusiasm for his confessionals and makes the game so much fun and entertaining.

Hello everyone, most of you probably don't know me because after my two-arc episode of failure in Ancient Greece I became a slave at Disney. 

AHHHHH ALEX RICO I LOVE YOU

I love her already

[Tyler Poirier]

I'll post my first impressions later tonight but i just wanna say <3 this cast, hope they make a great season!

[Tyler Poirier]

Cast Assessment de moi

Hugo - I think Hugo is going to definitely be an interesting player to watch! I'm a big supporter of the new players joining the communities and I love to see them succeed in games and enjoy the experience, so in that sense I'll definitely be rooting for him! With those new players I do feel a bit of caution. It's very easy to play too hard too fast and based on my first impressions I think there's a possibility Hugo could end up trying to seize the control right off the bat and that could make him an early target. If he doesn't play too hard, I think he's a great candidate to go far and maybe even win! Regardless, I think he'll bring a special energy to the season and he'll be a fun castaway to watch.

Casey - Casey <3 One of the people I know in this cast, we became pretty good friends after she was voted out of Endure. And she was my family helper visit in The Genius. I think her intro video doesn't do her personality the most justice. She's hilarious and entertaining, and I think we'll see that shine through in this game. I think she is very capable of making it all the way in this game like she did with Conquest, I think if she can take her mistakes in past games and improve her jury management skills, she could get that win that she just missed out on in Conquest. She will likely have to worry about the Endure target going into the game, but if she can make it past that I expect to see great things from her.

Mateusz - I feel like Mateusz seems like he will be entertaining to the audience, but I didn't get a very good read on his strategy might be in this game. From first impressions, I think that he might cause some drama and conflict, but I am worried that he will either become an early boot or a jury goat because of it. Of course, I'd love it if he proves me wrong!

Taylor - Taylor is someone who I've gotten to know a little better recently! I remember writing my first impression of her in Endure and worrying about her potentially being inactive, but she definitely proved me wrong there! This time around, I think she might have difficulty shaking off the Endure target more than some, as her season has the most representatives playing and she had made it the farthest and won the most challenges. If she can create some strong bonds early on though, I think she'll turn things more into her favour. I'm excited to see her play for sure.

William - His video was on private for me so I don't know anything about him lol Brandon said he'll likely be a villain and might leave early so I'll just trust him there.

Ricky - Good Ol' Drunk Ricky! Even though I knew of him through being Endure alums, I first actually met Ricky when I played with him in the Wikia ORG all-star season "Generations". We were allies for most of the game, but he managed to bamboozle me into passing him my idol and then let the other side take me out at merge. He's sneaky, he isn't afraid to say what's on his mind, and I think he'll bring some drama and entertainment this game. I do think he will have one of the largest targets on his back going into this game, both because of his own reputation and because he's from Endure. Nevertheless, I'm expecting him to go far. If he doesn't make merge, I'll be shocked!


Samm - If there was no Samm (or Ashlee), Endure would not have existed. He has a lot of connections going into this game, which I think he'll definitely be able to work to his advantage. I've never actually seen him play, unless you count his time on the ORG Wikia (which I don't), so I'm interested to see how he plays the game and what strategy he will use moving forward. Love the guy though so I'm hoping to see him go pretty far!! 

Ryan Gherman - I'm pretty sure I played a facebook game with this guy back in like April, but he was never on my tribe and he didn't make it to merge so I never met him. He left that game for the same reasons as he mentioned in his intro video, so I think if he is able to "calm down the villain" then I think he stands a chance. If he's placed with some of the other villains, I think that will be challenging for him though and he might eventually break into true villain mode as the game gets more intense. 

Ryan Giovanni - I think it's impossible to hate Ryan G. I played with him in The Genius and he had himself very well set up, I think he was probably aligned with just about everyone, and it was kind of a fluke that he got eliminated. I'm expecting Ryan to go far in this game. I think he'll be great at reading the changing dynamics of the game and plan accordingly. If he's gone before merge I'll be devastated, but for the other players I think they'd need to take him out early or he's gonna be tough to beat.

Ashley - As I said earlier, I like to root for the newbies! I think Ashley's biggest enemy in this game will be the learning curve. Most of the newbies from tengaged have a tendency to play these games like tengaged games, and that just doesn't work well. I could see her either playing too hard too fast and crashing early, or if she can adapt to the style of the game, she might make it to the merge stage. I think winning the game might be a long shot with the competition she has. Unfortunately I could see her fading into the background and kind of floating through the game.

Tyler - Name Twin!! Of the newbies I think Tyler has the most potential to excel this season. He's well spoken and likeable, and although I think he might not be the most entertaining players of the season, I think he'll be someone everyone will be rooting for to win. I think it'll be unexpected for him to see that there are a lot of pre-game connections this season, unfortunately that's usually an unavoidable fact of life with ORGs, and that might put him at a bit of a disadvantage initially. Once the game gets going though I think he'll shine through and possibly win it all!

Saxon - Saxon doesn't like me at all. I know him from my first ORG days on a blogspot Big Brother game about 2 years ago. We weren't on the same season, but in my season I screwed over one of his best friends so I could get the win. I'm interested to see if he's matured any, and in his season of the game mentioned above he made it to final 3, but I think his time in this game will be short.

Constance - I don't know much about Constance tbh. I know she recently had played in some Wikia ORGs, but she was an early boot. I know Ricky is a supporter of Constance, so if they're together then she might tag along in Ricky's shadow, but otherwise I think many people tend to write her off quickly and she doesn't make merge. I do see her being an early boot, but who knows?

Devon - I don't have any prior knowledge of Devon's gameplay and I didn't get a good read on him from his intro. He did seem to have a good personality for these games. I think he'll be able to get along with the other players very well, and the merge is in his reach.

Jesse - Jesse is great in my opinion! I worked with him in a mini once and together we made the top 4. He's a big personality and he doesn't always have a censor, but I think he'll bring a lot of entertainment. In terms of strategy I think he'll choose people to be loyal to and stick with them, and work so that he and those people he is working with can all go far together. However, I think he might try to take control early on and he might end up an early target like in ProSurvivor. I want him to succeed though and I'll be rooting for him.

Mikki - Mikki was entertaining in her into vid, but she didn't stand out as a very strong personality which could work to her advantage in this game! I don't know much about her from a strategy standpoint and her video didn't touch much on it, but my gut feeling is that she could be a late pre-merge/early merge boot. 

Dalton - I've heard his name somewhere before but I can't remember where to save my life. I didn't get a great read on him from his intro so I think he'll be a wild card. I wish him the best of luck!

Frank - Frank is one of my pregame favs. He seems very positive and he might try to take on a hero role He seems entertaining and I think he has the potential to offer a lot to the season!! I don't think he'll be able to make it to the end, but the time he is here I think he'll definitely be fun to watch play!

Lexi - Lexi is my successor as the first merge boot/first juror of Endure so right there I want to see her get some redemption! I don't know her very well, but I think she'll definitely have a strong devotion to the game and I think she'll be able to make some strong moves to shape the game in her favour, but ultimately her demise could come from being too much of a threat. I think she might team up with Molly or Taylor or Samm or all three of them, and maybe those connections could help her break her first juror curse. Go Lexi!

Keith - Yet another Endure Alum, I am expecting Keith to go far! It'll be weird seeing him playing a lowkey game (is that even possible? We'll see). I think throwing challenges is a big no-no though, I think if he focuses too much energy on being perceived as weak it might cost him. Plus people like Ricky and Molly and Samm and anyone from other games he's played might be able to see through that. 

Christian - I chuckled when he said orgies because I'm a little child. Anyways, I think Christian has a good personality and great passion for this game, but I think having to be secretive about playing and hiding it from his family could hinder him. I've seen it before, it makes playing these games a lot harder. If it impacts his ability to be there with his tribe or help win challenges, his time in the game could be short. Aside from that, he was entertaining but not too OTT to paint a target on his back for his personality. I want to see him make it far.

Ethan with no last name - Ethan sounds like he'll try to be a pretty big character in this game, but I am expecting to see him clash with a lot of the other big characters possibly and that is gonna be his downfall. I think his time in the game is going to be cut short unless he surprises with something that wasn't seen in his intro.

Simon - I don't know him personally but I think I've heard of him from some of my tumblr ORG friends. I think it will be a long shot for him to win, but I think he'll be able to make some good contributions to the season for the time he's there and he could help shape how the game will play out.

MOLLY CHRIST <3 - Molly will forever be my fav no matter what. It kills me that I did not get to pick her for my draft but that just shows that everyone wants Molly on their team. I've played with Molly twice, first time in Endure and second time in Generations. Both times we were on a green tribe, both times we were aligned, both times we made merge, both times I was 11th place first merge boot, both times neither of us ever had a chance to turn on each other. She is extremely well connected and I think she'll be able to work herself into a very solid position very quickly. If she doesn't make merge I'll be shocked. I think it might be tough for her to get to the end, but I'm expecting to see her make it far. One day I'm gonna make her get a passport so that she can come visit me in Canada.
(I was going to post a funny Molly photo but I don't want her to murder me)

Allan - His video didn't speak much to me and I don't know much about him prior to this. I think he will surprise me though and I'll grow to root for him. I feel like he'll make it far, he doesn't seem to be very confrontational and with this bunch I think that'll be a valuable and smart thing to do. 

Vanessa - Vanessa is interesting! I can't seem to think of how she will fit in with the rest of the cast so I'm excited to see how she'll play the game! The timezone difference might be a bit of an issue for her but if she can overcome it I'd like to see her make it far!!

omg a shoutout from #1 mom Tyler Poirier

[Deleted]

Wow Tyler forgetting me the shade

[morgenmoney]

I saw that I missed the roundtable and I am crushed! I still have my analysis typed out. Me and my whore Eric will make power rankings for everyone cause we are committed sluts.


Dalton- I like him.

Frank- He is trying to eff Brandon Clark. I don't trust his 8 ball but I like that he is thick.

Lexi- This girl looks like a lesbian Tinkerbell. She reminds me of my sister but is probably less of a bitch ( EDIT: hahaha she works at Disney!!! Analysis on point!)

Keith- Sugar Daddy Alert.  I think he will be a strategy prince but he seems kind of pretentious. 


Christian- Okay I am actually in love with him whereas with Keith it is just lust.  He is hot and thick and looks a like a chicken nugget. I hate my roommate too and I don't give a fuck we have a connection. I think he is gonna be a strategy king

Ethan- "I'm hot I'm funny, I have a good sense of humor I'm funny, I'm committed, I'm always around" - That's not 5 things thats only 3 things but 2 are listed twice and IDK about any of them being true. I think he should be first boot cause I don't like people who shoot videos while driving to class. 
Simon- He is Brendan 2.

Molly- She seems really basic but she also looks kind of like a female Richie and he is the love of my life(when are you going to come to Oklahoma and spend your million dollars on me, Riche) so I will give her a chance.

Allan- He's cool.

Vanessa- She seems fake as hell from that video. Sorry maybe she is okay but I really can't tell in video.
