Pre-Game Cast AnalysisBracari Tribe
TheBammBoozlerrFriend: Peter (Chan The Man)
I actually really liked his app. It was pretty short/concise but he seems pretty shrewd. Definitely beyond the "I wanna play aggressive" "I wanna make moves" etc. ramble you often hear. Plus he's pretty aware, wanting to gain as much info, while giving as little. So hopefully he'll know when to keep his mouth shut.
Prediction: Early Jury
PsychoARBFriend: Kim P (PLA)
Defs one of my fave apps of the newbies, especially of the ones I don't know. Seems he kind of feels his life experiences of being a closeted gay will somewhat help in this cause he's used to lying. I can relate to that, haha. xD So I'm defs rooting for him. Ciera is a pretty good choice for him cause he mentioned he respects flipping at the right time, specifically Ciera's move in BvW.
Prediction: Final Three
USuckFriend: Semhar (Kwe$i)
This is Ovambo Rick! The guy who replaced Nama Rick and then when Grant purposefully guessed the Mole to send himself back to Ovambo, sending us to TC, we swiftly took him out. Revolving door style. xD So I'm glad he's getting a second shot cause he never really got a fair one the first time around. Interesting though that he's playing as a different rep, but I guess his time in the game in Namibia was so short it doesn't really play a factor. Have no idea what to expect from him, I do vaguely recall some messaging with him but I don't think he was the best socially from what I recall.
Prediction: Pre Merge
IsaiahFriend: Ralph (MaxEurchuck)
I don't really see him as someone who's gonna be a big gamer or personality. He more or less just said he wants to build strong alliances to get him far into the game, I hope he realises the strategic component goes far beyond that cause he's new to ORGs and even fairly new to Survivor. He even said he might be portrayed as a weaker player and goat so eep I hope he doesn't play like that.
Prediction: Pre Merge
trojansoldierFriend: Coby (sc15fan)
Katie's a very intense player, super enthusiastic, very detailed confessionals and long messages. That can put people off a bit, I know it has from me playing with ts. But he'll be great to host. He's not strong at challenges either so will have to compensate in other areas.
Prediction: Early Jury
KryptonFriend: Becky (PushingJate)
He just won Crashcourse: Korea which was his first win. So he must be feeling good about himself. I don't think I ever really played with him. His app kinda sucks but I know he's better than that lol. I think him and Becky are the strongest pair in the game. Idk how close friends they are but it might be in their best interest to cut each other loose rather than try go to the end with each other. But they're smart and know what they're doing.
Prediction: Late Jury
dancecabFriend: Ryan S (madhackrviper)
I think he's fairly new to ORGs. I played with him just recently in Survivor Music War and we were close allies who dominated the pre-merge together despite losing every challenge. <3 He's a pretty loyal player, maybe a bit naive? I think his downfall in that game was being too trusting, giving out info to someone who had already flipped from our alliance who screwed us. I think that comes with relative inexperience. But he'll be one to watch.
Prediction: Late Jury
BowserBoy129Friend: Ibrehem (JayJayBlue)
Never played with him but have seen his name around and about. One of the stronger applications imo, so at least he should put the effort in. I wish I could say more but uhhh yeah.
Prediction: Pre Merge
shadow0knightFriend: Caryn (TheOneSurvivor)
Shawn! <3 It's kinda awkward having the rep of Shawn, but better him than Caleb I suppose (RIP ;___;). He's played a lot of games, often many at the same time I know. :-X I think he's had mixed success, I think I saw him post on ORGY that he has a bad run of going out pre-jury and I know that feeling cause it happened to me last year. I remember I really liked him in Sonic Adventure 3 and we were close allies. But he kinda frustrated me cause I'd try and talk some strategy and he wouldn't really commit to a point where I trusted him fully? I wasn't sure if he didn't wanna work with me or if he was just bad at indicating it lol. But I think he'll be fine.
Prediction: Early Jury
StrandedPeteFriend: Cochran (KenHoang)
Pete! <3 My Stranded King. He's played two games before, came 7th/16 in EuroStranded: Romania and 1st/18 in Aus Stranded: Socotra where he won with a perfect game. :O Either way he's gonna be a great character and more than likely a villain. I think the timezone difference could be a problem for him, and this cast won't be as easy for him to plough through like it was in Socotra. He's great in challenges though so I think for that alone he could keep himself alive a while. But from speaking with him he doesn't seem overly confident of his chances so idk how I can be lol. Hope he wins tho. :D
Prediction: Early Jury
Limici Tribe
PushingJateFriend: Laura (Krypton)
Stranded History: Madagascar (2nd/16)
I think he's the best and one of the most experienced player in his cast. Was a single vote away from winning Madagascar. I'm not too familiar with his game both in and out of this series, but I've heard that he's very good. Plus he writes great confessionals. Definitely winner potential. Plus he just won BZ's Cagayan game so he's probably feeling confident.
Prediction: Final Three
TheOneSurvivorFriend: Shawn (shadow0knight)
Stranded History: Costa Rica (12th/18)
In Costa Rica apparently he wasn't that active and ended up being a target cause of it at the merge. I don't really know him but apparently he's all kind of cray? I think the absence of Caryn's Corner in Lurker's Lounge will be a noticeable difference. :P I doubt he can win, but I hope he brings some drama.
Prediction: Pre Merge
sc15fanFriend: Katie (trojansoldier)
Stranded History: India (11th/16), All Stars 2 (17th/21)
Not too familiar with his game but he seems to go out pre-merge a lot. :/ Not just in Stranded but in other series. But then again Cirie went out pre-merge twice before she got her win in Legends. Let's see if Coby has learned from his past mistakes to get deeper into the game.
Prediction: Early Jury
KenHoangFriend: Vytas (StrandedPete)
Stranded History: Namibia (12th/18)
Cochran! <3 My first victim at the merge in Namibia. That was his first game, he's since played EuroStranded: Baltic Sea and Crashcourse: Korea where he went out pre-merge in both. With some extra experience under his belt, hopefully he can turn his fortune around. I've been speaking with him back and forth about this game and he says he didn't like how boring he was in Namibia and is wanting to make a bigger splash this time around. I hope we get to see it!
Prediction: Pre Merge
JayJayBlueFriend: Rachel (BowserBoy129)
Stranded History: Costa Rica (6th/18)
He's one of the better placed returnees. I believe he is the first victim of the purple rock in Stranded! With three purple rocks in Namibia, we certainly set the bar high. :P Anyway, he wasn't ousted due to poor play necessarily, just unlucky. He later regretted it and not flipping his vote to Kim cause it seemed otherwise he would've had a pretty good shot to win. But his loyalty and unwilling to flip did him end. So he'll for sure feel like he has some unfinished business here, maybe more willing to betray allies to get ahead. I'm assuming this was one of his first games, if not his first, cause he has played since then. In fact I believe he started his series ITB based on his time in Costa Rica. :O
Prediction: Late Jury
PLAFriend: Ciera (PsychoARB)
Stranded History: Venezuela (10th/18)
Don't know much about Kim. Apparently she went out in a blindside at Final 10 when Patricia/Gabriel flipped on her. Was described as feisty and pretty animated on the jury. Called people a cow/bitch a lot, and Linda a "Meehan". <3 Was part of a core five on Tamanaco with Lindsey, Frank, Linda and Kim J. Yeah idk. I can see her doing well though.
Prediction: Final Three
Chan The ManFriend: Brad (TheBammBoozlerr)
Stranded History: Venezuela (17th/18)
P-P-P-Peter! He had a habit of like quadruple posting everything. :D He's the worst placed returnee, so based on that alone he's gonna have his work cut out for him. He made a big blunder at the first tribal council where asked if he posted his vote in public. After voting in the minority of a 6-2 vote at the first Tribal Council, he was swiftly taken out at the next. He seemed out of his league in Venezuela but provided some comic relief. Sooo not feeling his chances of winning but he could be fun.
Prediction: Pre Merge
MaxEurchuckFriend: John (Isaiah)
Stranded History: Namibia (10th/18)
Ralph! <3 So proud to have an Ovambo member here. He was not a good player in Namibia tbh, very erratic and even though Ovambo had the numbers advantage, we flushed out his idol and cut him loose cause he was shady as hell. And socially he's a mess, he's got to pick that up. For real. But he was smart in targeting me the night he went out, too bad the others didn't listen. :P Apparently he's had some ORG experience since Namibia, which I believe was his first ORG? I don't fancy his chances, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
Prediction: Pre Merge
madhackrviperFriend: Marissa (dancecab)
Stranded History: Peru (6th/16); All Stars (7th/21)
I can't find any info about either of his seasons. :/ I played with him in Sonic Adventure 3... I think we exchanged some messages and liked each other before we divided into separate tribes and he got taken out pre-merge. Yeah idk. But he's pretty much more experienced than most of the others combined and placed well in both his seasons so I think he should be around deep game.
Prediction: Late Jury
Kwe$iFriend: Hayden (USuck)
Stranded History: Namibia (13th/18)
I never had any interaction with Semhar in Namibia. I just remember being very surprised when she got booted by Nama right before the merge. I thought for sure Ashley would go, due to being on the tribe for the least amount of time. Apparently it was between Semhar and Whitney and the Nama core cut Semhar cause they figured she'd be less loyal to them at the merge. From what I gather it was a very last minute decision. I kinda wish she did make the merge over Whitney, who kinda sucked. I think Semhar was a half decent player, just sort of went inactive at a bad time. So I'm looking forward to what she brings to the table in her second time around.
Prediction: Pre Merge
