Adrianne just recently played Conquest and was rocked out at the final 8. I really didn't follow her game too closely but she seemed be have a strong personality. I specifically remember Adrianne fighting Andrew Gibson in one of the tribal councils. I think Adrianne would be able to do fairly well in the game, I'm not sure how far she'd go - but I can see her being good.
Andy is someone I'm extremely excited to see play. I think he is going to have an extremely strategic game, he seems as a pretty smart person and player overall. I'm not entirely sure how Andy would do in the overall game but I'm hoping he'd do well. I don't think he'll be the most entertaining player, I can see him being close to our second placement last season, AJ.
Chris is probably one of the biggest wildcards pre-season for me. I have no idea if he is going to be hated or completely loved, a hero or a villain, a flop or a king. I lowkey feel like Chris would snap if something shady goes down which may be interesting. It's his first ORG so it'll be great to watch how he would evolve. I feel like as first time players, it'll take bit for him to come out of his shell.
Bodhi is definitely one of the standouts in my opinion this season. He is going to be someone that is going to be hated or loved. When revealed to the viewers, they weren't the biggest fan which is interesting. I think Bodhi is going to be a fun and dynamic character. Based on his interview, he seemed very smart as well so it's not all character. A game player and good character, double yes.
During Panama, Taylor started the game quite slow and started to pick it up right before she got the boot. I do think she would have been a force in the game had she gotten her footing earlier. It'll be interesting to see if she comes back with the same strategy of laying low at the start or if she learned her lesson that it didn't work out the first time. Nevertheless, I think her story wasn't completed and this is her second chance to finish it.

I don't think Amos is going to be the most entertaining or flashy player. However, I do think he will be a dedicated and engaged player in the game which is why I'm interested to see him play. I think he is a bit monotone and I'm lowkey interested to see how he will go about making relationships with his tribe who in my opinion is probably the most under the radar (other word boring) tribe when it comes to drama/entertaining.
This is Emily's first ORG. I really have no idea how she'd do. She's a likable person herself I'd say. You just can't ever tell with new players whether they'd do great or bad. Nevertheless, I'm excited to see what she can bring.
See I like Nathan, I just don't know how good he'd do. Specially because in his intro video he stated that he sucks at texting back... If that's true then his social game is going to suck and you really do need an okay social game to make it through the first couple of tribals. I can see him going very early if he is really bad at texting and forming those bonds over text.
I love Patrick, he was totally one of the hardest call when casting because of how many people he knows. I don't think Patrick would disappoint in terms of making it far and doing well because he is a good player and likable himself. I hope he does have some sort of opposition though and that the game isn't as easy for him as it was for our last winner, Ricky.
Ryan is coming back for his redemption story. Last season, although he had a lot of great intuitions, they were shut down by his only true ally, Ahmae. His game was pretty fucked because of her so it'll be great to have him back and see how he'd perform without such a distraction. I think he is quite smart and could make it far, let's see.

Really excited about this cast. There is a lot of fresh faces mixed in with some proven org veterans.
Castries
Adrianne- I just recently played Conquest with Adrianne and can say she is a social BEAST. She can basically befriend almost anyone. If she can turn up her strategic side she could be a absolute force. I am expecting big things from her this season.
Andy- Andy reminds me a lot of AJ. He seems like a player who will always make the calculated and logical decision which could be boring but i prefer good gameplay over bad. Lets see if he lives up to his comparison.
Bodhi- BODHIII seems really really really entertaining and he is really pumped to be playing. His only flaw might be that he could be seen as cocky. I really hope he stays in the game for a while because he is going to be major player.
Chris- Really unsure about how Chris is going to do. It is sooo hard for completely new players to do well in their first game like his friend Billy did. I am expecting a pre-merge boot here but i hope he proves me wrong.
Taylor- Season 3 is the only time I’ve seen her play and she got off to a lackluster start in it before really kicking up right before her elimination. She kind of got swap-fucked and definitely showed more potential. If she puts in a consistent effort from the start i am sure she will definitely redeem herself and get further.
Laborie
Amos- Dude seems like a really nice guy, a little bit too nice. Can make it far just off likability but needs to show some cut-throatiness to be able to win.
Emily- Also someone who might just be too nice for the game, which kind of works out on her original tribe. Her biggest adversity will come when she meets the more dramatic players in the cast from other tribes.
Patrick- I am SO excited to watch Patrick play the game but at the same time i low-key hope he doesn’t win or at-least doesn’t win easily. He just reminds me of Ricky in terms of how he is just a guarantee to make it far and thats no fault of his at all. I compare it to sports, nobody wants to see the Yankees and Patriots win every year, and for this nobody wants to see the Rickys and Patricks always win everything. Either way Patrick will be a great player and if he does win it won’t come easy with this cast.
Nathan- I really like Nathan as a person. As a player, he is one of the lower ones for me. The bad at replying part in his meet-me stuck out for me lol. I’m not sure how active he will be, and for a newbie the main thing to be successful is to be good socially.
Ryan- HYPED to watch Ryan play again. He was apart of the ill-fated showmance from season 3 “Rymae”. He was just never playing for himself and it doomed his game. I have high hopes for my boy Boosh because he really realizes where he fucked up and swears he’s not going to repeat the same mistakes. Let’s see, i will still be his biggest critic lol.
Canaries
Andrew- Another person i just played Conquest with and he was such a big personality in it, i HAD to get him to play XTC. There is not a chance in hell Andrew wins the game but he will be extremely entertaining and bring the drama for the time he is in it. I also can’t wait to see Adrianne and Patrick’s reactions to seeing him in the cast, they both have amazing beefs with him.
Josh- Another really likable person. i really liked his interview and he seems like he really has a good sense for the game. Let’s see what he does in the game.
Stephen- Probably my pre-season favorite. I enjoyed his interview a lot and his personality is great. Gives off heavy Malcolm Freberg vibes who is one of my favorite survivor players so. This is his first game in 13 years though and hes not too familiar with Skype, added to the fact that his schedule is kind of inconvenient, it will be challenging for him but i have hope!
Victoria- Don’t know too much about her, but she is one of the sleepers for me. Can see her getting far.
Logan- The one returnee i’m most excited to see back. I played XTC1 with him and he was one of the best players i’ve ever played. If Travis never blowed up on him (🌚🌚), he could have really won. He’s an extremely passionate player who just has a great love for the game. In a season of underdogs, Im excited to see how XTC’s biggest underdog fares in his second chance.
Dennery
Abi- I’ve known Abi for a while and if theres anything I’m certain of this season, it is that Abi will for sure have a impact.He is an extremely active player, which is something his boy Lee lacked in last season. He’s going to be messy but strategic at the same time.
Alex- Really have no expectations for Alex, considering he was just added to the cast like 24 hours ago lol. He got his videos submitted in like 5 minutes, so he will be a active player which is always nice to have in a cast filled with newbie wildcards. I just don’t know how he will fit in. Expecting early boot but can see him proving me wrong.
Matthew- I think Matthew will be one of the funnier players. His action videos are ridiculously funny. I’m excited to see if he brings it on a game level too because he seems like he will be very dedicated this season.
Eric- Wildcard for me. He had a great interview but i feel like he could end up being a odd fit on this tribe. If he get through the og tribe phase, he could make it far.
Miranda- Another season 1 alumni. Never got to play with her because she was voted off during pre-merge phase but heard she would’ve been a major player. She is a really popular player and has a lot of connections in this cast. I think she will absolutely redeem herself this season.
TOP 5 TOP 5 TOP 5 1. Stephen 2. Bodhi 3. Logan 4. Adrianne 5. Patrick
