Over then next week we will have all first impressions of the cast. It's time for assessments - who do you think is at high risk for an early boot, or perhaps a difficult game? Who are some stand out characters? People you expect to go far in the game? Which pair is your pre-game favorite? Blood vs Water is here.

I think Rosie may be an early boot as she seems like the whole package and therefore people may automatically assume she is a threat and vote accordingly. And I also worry about Davis who is a bit scary and may rub people the wrong way.
I think Patrick Scarola will go far - I've played with him in a different ORG and he's got a smooth attitude and strategic mind. The fact that he pulled a 33 year-old at his age already points to someone with great skills! And I think/hope Chris does well as he reminds me a lot of Mike from my season - very friendly but focused. And fortune seems to favour the 3rd time Survivor player.
And the standouts/my pre-game favourite are O'Henry and Ty who are both so dang charismatic and cool, I could see them both going far if they play things right.

I have high hopes for Shane, but the last few skype games he's played, he flopped... hopefully that's not the case here. I love him to death anyway. I want to see Daniel and Maranda do really well too. I feel like Daniel could either do really well or he could flop. He's extremely loyal and dedicated, but he can be a bit hot headed and therefore rub people the wrong way. Davis flopped pretty early last season, but I'm looking forward to watching him play this time around instead of helping getting him out I have high hopes for Scarola. I know he's really smart and strategic. MB is also super sweet and loyal. I think she'll do well.. Side note: I'm not judging Jennifer at all, but I hate that she kept calling Constance her brother in her "Meet Me" video due to the fact that Constance identifies as a girl. Did this annoy anyone else? I think Carina and Mikey could be early boots. Their age difference could either make or break them, but I'm thinking it's the latter. Their tribemates may not be able to relate to them as well being that their so young. Hopefully people can see past this though. We'll see. I've seen O'Henry play and I'm excited to see him play again this season. His blood looks pretty chill as well. Can't wait to get this game started

This season will either be quite interesting or super expectable (Shout out to Jordan)
My pre season favs- Dirty (Pig) D, Tierra, Adam, Trevor, Rosie and Andrew.
dD and Tierra will do pretty good in my opinion because I can already point out some relationships that they can use in the game (Adam/Constance etc)
Mikey and Carina are most likely going to be some loose cannons.
I like TY and all but I don't see him being able to interact with a lot of people enough for them to want to keep him around.

IM ACTUALLY POSTING? Wtf is this mess only cuz I've watched a couple videos...
I just wanted to write bout Scarola cuz I actually know him from a different gaming site... he definitely had his moments of being involved in drama but I think he's pretty strategic and will form a majority easily with his personality.
I love Joanne. When I played all stars with her, starting out in similar spots, she played the way I should've played hahaha cuz she was smart lol. I hope her & Trevor both do well.
Why can't Josh be straight?
I love Rosie she seems like she will be interesting to watch and I loved her video but I too can see her leaving early.

whattup everyone its your boy Jay back in the cut for my Pre-Game thoughts-
Adam doesnt have a chance in hell of winning lol, there is literally a better chance of Adam winning the lottery than there is for him to win this game lol. There is a better chance of Glenn coming back on BB and winning than Adam winning this season of iSurv1vor, There is better chance of Bernie Sanders winning the election then Adam has of winning this game. But if he somehow makes it far enough he'll be extremely entertaining.
I think my boy Dirty D has a really good chance of winning. He knows where he fucked up his first time around. This time he has Tierra too to help him.
Eddie is one for the other videos i watched and this man is funny af lol. Hes a New Yorker so thats a plus.
thats all for right now

Side note: I'm not judging Jennifer at all, but I hate that she kept calling Constance her brother in her "Meet Me" video due to the fact that Constance identifies as a girl. Did this annoy anyone else? It seems as though Constance's gender identity has been a topic of confusion for a while now for some people, myself included (not that it's necessarily any of mine or anyone else's business). I've never really gotten the impression that Constance fully identifies 100% as female as much as maybe she's gender fluid; as such, maybe that's not a thing she discusses with her sister, or maybe she and her sister have a certain understanding. So, it didn't annoy me.

Oh boy.
So after watching all the meet me's, I feel like Jennifer will be out soon bc I know she will catch wind of people's confusion for Constance.
Tierra and Davis will be early targets bc they are so beloved by this community.
Mikey and Carina will more then likely go early or far bc they are persevied to be "green" in the cutthroat stragety of this game. I see someone picking up him but not her.
Maranda and Dan.... Well she made a big move in Russia by getting out Danny first but then she was blindsided herself. I think she is a target of she tries some shit like that again. He will be gone pre-merge.
Trevor and Jo. Wel good luck I guess to them. I like her but idk about him. It's been a while since I've seen him play. He is like able and that may help or hurt him.
The Brothers, Josh and Eddie. I think josh is more of the talker and might get his ass into some trouble. Eddie will get bitched out by sandy on the regular.
Chris is BAE #2, so I am rooting for him, but I really hope he changes his game from Tibet. And his niece is so cute. I hope she does well.
Scarola and MB. No thanks. Honestly.
Rosie and Andrew. She will go far, only based off the fact is that I don't think she cares to much, as long as she gets further then him. And he is meh.
Shane and Sydney. Ok so I'm going to be nice and I wish both of them the best of luck. I do have a few questions but I'm going to keep them to myself. Don't wanna be to rude.
LeBlanc and Hassan.....
Yeah well that's about it.

There are really a ton of wildcards at this point, and it'll come down to how much a lot of these newer people put into the game starting early on. If they don't do enough right away, they'll never be able to catch up and might lose interest... so I'm praying that doesn't happen.
Excited for the young brother and sister, Carina & Mikey. They both seem smart, like a pair of Kirins or something, and I don't doubt they have the skills to get far as long as people don't just write them off for being so young. I know for me it's kinda awkward talking to kids that young on the internet but that's just the nature of the world we live in I guess.
Who else... I've got high hopes for Rosie and her boyfriend (forget his name right now) because they seem like they're both really competitive, and then also O'Henry's cousin. I don't expect him to become a strategic mastermind but he's a legit reality TV character and needs to get far in this.
Adam is going to be a mess, he'll probably link up with Davis & Tierra (who will both do really well unless they get targeted based on their reputations, which would suck), but he'll be an entertaining mess and being a F2/F3 loser would be a perfect spot for him. <3
also rooting for Joanne/Trevor/Sydney/Shane

So, it didn't annoy me. I hear what you're saying, and I have to agree. I just think from what I've seen from her in ORGs anyway, she's always associated as female. I can't speak for her, but if it were me, I guess I would want to have the proper pronouns associated with the gender that I identify with. Again, I agree with you in the sense that she seems more gender fluid than anything else, I just hope that it's a conversation they've had and not just Jennifer refusing to call her a girl. But you're right.. it's not our business

So first I just want to talk about my fantasy picks Rosie: first of all she is my number one pick. She seems like a real chick and isnt gonna take shit from anyone. I see her as more of a leader than a follower but since this is her first game and she chose this one to play first says alot. Hopefully she is up to the challenge
Dirty D: im thinking by his meet me video he is gonna play a more low key game than before. I know personally this guy is loyal so hopefully who ever he teams up with shows him the same respect.
MB: ive played with her before and i know she isnt a joke. She will slay for sure. She is good in comps and will curse you out in a heart beat so i want to see some of that in the game
Adam: lord help him. Thats it
Im also watching for Tierra. Im just nervous that people will know and start talking about how good of a player she is and possibly target her early. Also Chris Brown. Hopefully he has learned from his mistakes and proves himself to be a better competitor than his last attempt

Sandy and I talked about this a bit when the cast was being revealed but I really hope Trevor and Dirty D end up on the same tribe because I think they will either bond and click immediately or target themselves. I am definitely rooting for Davis to definitely kill this second chance because he seems like a pretty cool dude. Makes me wish we had voted out Carlosito instead.
Though I would really love if Tierra and Joanne teamed up and whipped their boys into shape, I hope these girls take them by the balls and dictate their game because I think both are good subtle players.
Other than that I think Mike and Carina will do well if they survive the first few votes. Jumping back to last season, the first tribe really focuses on who is the weakest link, or doesn't fit in. However once a tribe swap occurs the targets turn to the stronger players. I think if they survive the first phase of the game they could make it deep.
I don't think I really know anyone else. Excited to see this play out. PS: The board is pretty awesome.

Alright! Another season is about to start, and it’s the first time I’m on this side of the fence so… I’m pretty sure I will be entertained and be able to keep up with the action.
TIME TO ANALYSE THESE BITCHES!!!
O’Henry: I’m glad to see he’s back for another season, he’s another first merge boot I believe and I have faith that he’ll make it further than last time. I didn’t watch Andaman to know how he played or what he did, but I could see him being voted out either early on or he could go through merge then be voted out. I get a more social player vibe out of him.
Ty: Oh lordy! He sounds like the type that’s going to cause some trouble, in both good and bad ways. Could this be his first possible ORG I wonder? Hmm, I don’t have very high hopes for him if I’m honest because he might rub people the wrong way with how loud he can be. I predict to see him as a pre-merge boot sadly.
Mary Beth: I’ve played with this lady before, and one word to describe her: Loyal. If she aligns with someone, she’ll stick with them the whole entire way. I think she might go into this game with that same strategy, but at the same time I’m hoping she doesn’t play it safe and makes some moves. I expect to see her at least make merge.
Scarola: AHHH PAT DADDY, you finally decided to show up to iS. Well damn man it’s about time. Anyway, I’ve come to respect him this past year and I hope to see him do really well in this. He’s a player that will show commitment to the end, but he is also very opinionated. I could see him maybe causing some drama? But I know if he is set on working with certain people, he’ll work with those people hoping the same in return. Considering that he’s flopped in the last few Skype games though? I’m hoping he’s learnt his mistakes and will make it to merge.
Joanne: I’ve heard that she can play pretty well in this game, even if All Stars didn’t work out her out. I get good vibes from her, I feel like she’s another that will do really well – especially if she’s played this out before and ended up in 5th or 4th. I hope she’s able to back up what she said in her meet me about being loyal, a lot of fun but daring.
Trevor: A PRO WRESTLER, OMG YESSSS! He sounds like an honest guy that doesn’t look like he’ll betray you, again I have only watched this series since mid-Russia so don’t knock me if I’m all wrong about these returning players who I’ve yet to see Lol. Anyway, I get good vibes from both him and his wife Joanne, I believe they could do both do very well.
Rosie: Oh my gosh girl, you’ve never seen Survivor before? Oh lord you’re a blank canvas, but that could work with some people. I’m glad that she states to be a team player, that can work into someone’s favour. She could be used as a number at first, but hopefully she’ll come into her own and make us remember Rosie. By the way for any WWE fans, doesn’t she kind of look and sound like Nikki Bella minus the big chest? Lol. Side note, her brows need work – Sorry, have to say it.
Andrew: Zielinski, I’ve seen him around the community but never followed him. He seems quite knowledgeable about games in general, and I think he’s going to be a strong player. However, I don’t really feel good about him as I do with Rosie, like something about him feels…. Off for some reason. Maybe just the fact that I think he’s going to be an early threat which could get him voted out, possibly before Rosie.
Chris: “The shadiest side eye of all time” HAHAHA! Classic Chris! He is somebody that keeps it real and I enjoy his company a lot. I have no idea why he’s playing a third time despite us Tibetans hearing time and time again “I am done with these games. I’m taking a break for another three years”. Gee that didn’t last long Lol. He will be a good ally for somebody who’s willing to snatch him up. I will be very surprised if he makes it to Top 9 if he doesn’t take control of the game at some point.
Arielle: Ugggh, I have seen this girl on call once and loved her, but for the love of all things pretty “Fix your mic”. She seems sweet and I think she’ll get along with people, sadly I don’t think she’ll last very long unless they need her as a number. Is it bad that I get Natalie Griswold vibes from her already? Didn’t she also have a poor mic throughout Russia? So hopefully that gets fixed and she can work on her social game. But as I say, I predict pre-merge at this point.
Constance: She is my sister and I have nothing but love for her, even if we shade each other all the damn time Lol. I’m happy to see her returning to iS, but do I think she’ll do better this time round? I’m not very confident in that. She’s already trying too hard by making her presence known to every single player, and since this is BVW – I’m a little afraid that her sister will bear the brunt of it at some point too. Really hard to say if she will do better than last time. I hope she does, but I don’t think she will.
Jennifer: I don’t mind Jennifer, but is it bad that she’s giving me KM vibes? I don’t think she’ll do well in this game. I mean she could surprise me but, I’m not expecting anything major. Not really doing it for me so far. Only good thing I can say is that both of them on call are hilarious! That’s about it.
Josh: A Survivor Superfan, this sounds promising! He’s a poker player too so that could really come into good use. He’s another one that seems knowledgeable about the game, I could see him either doing really well or falling quite early if he’s caught out. As long as he plays the strategist without making any big waves, he could be a really good player. I’m going to predict him making Final 5.
Eddie: Aside from Sandy putting the fear of God into him during his meet me (LOL), I don’t get the same feeling from him like I do with his brother. The way he talks puts me off, like he constantly has to sound like everything is a command like…. No. He’s giving me stand-offish vibes and I don’t think that will fly well with the cast. I could see him making at least the first swap before being voted out.
Tierra: AH YES, My girl Tierra. A wonderful person with now some knowledge on how to play these games. An easy ally for anyone that can gravitate towards her, but she is playing with Davis who’s quite outspoken and isn’t afraid to cause shit so that might hurt her chances. I would like to see her make some moves this time round, that would be pretty nice to watch. Hope to see her make it as far as she did in Tibet, and if done right could secure the win this time.
Davis: The more outspoken one of the two. Boy I hope you do better than you did in Jordan, I mean it. He seems smart to know when to make some waves and let the others have it, but hopefully he doesn’t play too hardcore too early or else it’s another pre-merge boot for him. I see him at least making merge, and hopefully with numbers in his pocket when he gets there.
Carina: I like this girl! But given her age, I wonder if her and her brother will be able to keep up with the conversations since they’re not adults yet. She seems mature beyond her years and I do want to see her go far in this game, as long as she can get herself situated with allies that will keep her safe. I don’t see her making many moves in this though, just something about her doesn’t give me strategist. I’d like to see her make merge, but that could be very far off.
Mikey: Now that watching his meet me, it seems that his sister is the better of the two. It could just be his age or the way he speaks, but he puts me off unfortunately. He talks more about his sister than he does about himself, which annoys me because when confessionals come in, he’ll have to talk about himself so – maybe that could change. Idk, I don’t see him making it very far if I’m honest.
Shane: “Y’all are really bad at following instructions” – How did I miss that???
Anyway, I’ve seen Shane play a Skype game but he flopped. Unsure as to why that was, but it doesn’t seem like a good sign. He’s always seen as an early threat and is taken out because of it, so his plan is to reign it in and just play as a number before he’s ready to strike. If he can stay away from the spotlight, I could see him going far. Otherwise it’ll be history repeating itself for another early boot.
Sydney: Okay first off, had no idea that was a woman – or was a woman. Is Sydney a transman? Anyway, I wasn’t feeling her at all. Just doesn’t give me anything that will make me go YAAASSS. I’d like to see her make an impact but based on that meet me? I feel nothing for this one. Hopefully an early boot at this point.
Dan: AH…. Juicy Lussi has arrived! Don’t tell him I call him that either. SSSHHH Lol!
He is very vocal, and will call you out if you do him wrong. He will be loyal to you, as long as you give him that same respect. I hope that him being like this won’t affect him too badly, because beneath all that is somebody who knows how to play. I’ve seen him make finals quite often, but losing most of the time. Do I think he’ll make it far? I would hope so, but given his personality I doubt it.
Maranda: I love this woman, both her and Dan are great people to talk to. As a player, she’s fiercely loyal up until she knows when to make a move if it will benefit her. To know that she flopped in Russia was a surprise because I’ve known her to always be aware and constantly making it far in games. I will be very disappointed if she doesn’t do well this time around, but if she plays how I’ve known her to do – which is pretty well – I see her making merge and going quite far during that stage.
LeBlanc: In love with the name, giving me that League of Legends realness! YAAAAASSSSS!
As much as I love the name…. I’m not really feeling this guy. I hope he proves me wrong because he seems like the sane one of the two – considering who his blood partner is, Geeez Lol. I don’t expect him to make it far, but I want him to prove me wrong.
Hassan: What’s there not to say about him really? Lol. Now Mikey needs to take lessons on how to talk about themselves. “Hassassin’d” – Girl isn’t it “Hassassinated”? Lol. Sounds way too confident in his meet me video, hopefully that doesn’t detract the cast from him because he may display those qualities in the game. Who he is as a person may actually be completely different as a player, but as I’ve not seen him play before I’m hoping that statement is true. As much as I would like to see him do well, I could predict him being an early boot or making it far into the merge.
