Castries Not very social so far, but a lot of them give me really good vibes. I could literally listen to Adrienne's voice all day, it's so adorable and soothing. I am so here for a Bodhi/Andy/Adrienne alliance. I don't dislike neither Taylor nor Chris but I really enjoy the other three more, at least from what I saw in the pre-game they seem more like my type of people. Or at the very least I enjoy the vibe that they give out. Though this might change when people start posting more video confessionals. On a side note: is Andy's full name Andre, or does Adrienne call him by the wrong name far too much for someone who she calls her favorite?
In general though I don't want Castries to lose because I do enjoy them as a whole.
Laborie I am 100% team Patrick, he is my boy, one of my best friends, and an outstanding player so I am putting all my eggs in the one basket and I don't care. He is in a really good sport right now, I think that even though people know he is going to be a threat down the line his social game is going to keep him around for long enough to become indispensable. I really enjoy the fact that he bonded a lot with Emily which is completely unsurprising because Patrick tends to gravitate to having his #1 being a girl.
Unfortunately, Ryan is letting the returner label make him become arrogant. He is a really likable dude, but he is thinking he is a much bigger asset than he is. I think he is doing a good job bonding with people, but it is clear he is trying to call the shots which is a very different strategy than the one he used last season... will it pay off? I don't think so whatsoever, but I'm excited to see him play a game which is such a 360 from his last time.
I enjoy Emily, she is a newbie who seems to be eager to play. Nathan hasn't said much but I enjoyed his pre-game interview so I hope that he is around for long enough to develop some kind of storyline. Finally we have Amos who seems like a nice guy but whom I find incredibly boring. Unfortunately. I know Patrick wants him out first, and Amos mentions how much the two of them have bonded which makes me wonder if things changed for Patrick or if Amos is just not very aware of the perception other people have of him.
Canaries This tribe has been really quiet. Not much to go on besides the fact that Stephen is outstanding, I can't wait to see a video confessional because his written one was outstanding. My only thought besides that is that I hope Andrew goes first based simply on the fact he has beef with other people, and he has more previous relationship than the others and I would like to keep that entire situation away from the game. Last season past relationships played a really big role on the season, and I don't want that to be a repeat therefore eliminating someone like him frees up pre-conceived notions for a few people and makes the game more ~pure~.
Dennery Abi is doing the most by pretending not to know Miranda's name. Ridiculous. He seems to be in a really good standing so far, though it's hard to tell how much of that is true because the other guys in the tribe have not confessed much. I am hoping that somehow Miranda can survive the negative first impressions and the tribe, even if that is only because they manage to go on a winning streak. Seeing her go pre-jury would make me beyond sad because I adore her.
I have no opinion of either Eric nor Matthew either because I don't remember them from the pre-game and I don't care enough to go watch their videos back. But I do have high hopes for Alex, normally I root against people who share my name based only on sheer douchiness but I have hosted him before and he is precious so I cannot root against him. Hoping he can do well, honestly.

This tribe did not get on call on their first night (first downfall). I think it usually happens that the tribes that do not join call on their first night usually tend to perform the worst at the first immunity challenge and just immunities overall. I think the players in this tribe have potential as individuals, but not quite sure how well they are as a tribe.
In my opinion, I think Adrianne is the standout of her tribe. She seems to be taking the steps towards the leadership role. She's doing a very good job at just playing friendly and I don't think anyone in her tribe has any reasons to vote her out yet. I thought her and Taylor would auto-align, but it seems that she's wary of Taylor because of things she's heard. She's gravitating towards Andy and Bodhi which are interesting choices. I can see Adrianne getting pretty far and I'm a fan of how she's playing the game so far.
We haven't heard much from Andy, confessional wise, but Andy has been very quiet but very likable. I don't see him getting voted out in his tribe tonight either because he has been active enough and likable enough to not have that "inactive, quiet" title on him. I think as the game progress, we will get more from him so that'll be interesting.
Chris has been very well in the tribe chat, extremely active and sending long messages. I'm really not sure how his social game with individuals are but he is one of the people I see in trouble tonight. Unless he pulls a miracle tonight, he will be the one going. He "performed" the worst in the challenge, only scoring a 3 for his tribe but it really wasn't him who was bad, it was Bodhi. So it really comes down to whether he is going to defend himself and how well would he do it. Also, if his tribe is going to base it on the first challenge or they just feel least connected, based on the call, with him. In his first game, I think Chris has a lot of potentials to do very well socially in this game. It will be devastating to lose him so early on.
Bodhi's performance in the same thus far has been very disappointing. I think most of it comes with that, my expectations from him were very high and so far we have gotten the bare minimum. He by far has been the least active member of his tribe, always being the last to answer something and to check in. I think he has a great personally and charm that would work for him and may keep him safe for this first round even though based him compared to anyone else, I'd say he is the weakest.
The returning player for this tribe... Taylor, I think she's definitely started way stronger than she did in her original tribe so that's a plus. It'll work to her advantage for now that this is the only tribe where we haven't heard a lot of "be careful" for the returner phrases. Right now, I think she's trusting of Adrianne a lot, which may not be the smartest because Adrianne doesn't fully trust her. This season Taylor has potentials of making it far. But so far, it may be another curse of a losing tribe? History repeats itself.

I think this tribe so far has been the most active collectively as a tribe. I don't seeing this tribe losing any initial challenges because I think they are pretty strong. This tribe has very unique characters who all bring in their own parts to the game.
Amos is playing a really strong social game thus far. The only person that seems to want him out is Patrick but he hasn't mentioned to anyone but hints at Emily. I don't think most people would find Amos threatening which is what makes him a threat. At first I didn't think he'd be very sociable, but a lot of people like him a lot. Ryan and him have established something and he seems to trust Ryan right now. I can see Amos getting far, he isn't getting too ahead of himself and is playing it slow.
Emily has impressed me so far, she was extremely well socially in a call with Patrick yesterday - she gets along great with Amos and Nathan - and approached Ryan about not voting him. I think for someone who this is just their first game, she's doing great socially. When it came to the challenge, she was pretty slow at it but it didn't really matter because her tribe won. I can see Emily doing well.
I think if this tribe had gone to tribal council, I think Nathan would've gone which would've been a shame. Nathan seems to be connecting well with Amos out of everyone and he seems to be reading people and their cues. He is onto Ryan and he has an idea that Ryan has been throwing his name, if anyone. I think with time, he will evolve into a greater character.
Patrick missing out on the first call, I thought he was over. But somehow he has this social ability to make people feel comfortable with him. Somehow, with him not being on the call to much, most people in his tribe trust and want to work with him. I think he has been the only to go on individual calls with every person in his tribe. Ryan and Amos seem to have an understanding that Patrick is dangerous and needs to go sooner than later, but Ryan also wants to go idol hunting with Patrick. Patrick will totally make it far into the game. The thing about Patrick is that it just takes people to talk to each other about him and see how well he is liked, but no one would do it.
Lastly, Ryan... He is playing this game HARD. And you know what? Good for Ryan. I don't know if it's going to get him far or not but regardless, if he loses early at least he can say he went out on his own and not because of someone else. Ryan seems to be all over the place with his strategy, first his closest person was Amos, now it seems to be Patrick. First he wanted Emily to go, now it seems to be Nathan. First he was worried of Patrick and though he needed to go, now he wants to go Idol hunting with him. I don't know. But one thing I know is that members in his tribe like Emily/Nathan are onto him so he really needs to be careful.

The round ends with a sad vote off... Chris left by a vote 4-1, he wasn't able to defend himself and his case very strong. It being his first game, he probably did not know any better than to campaign a little harder. He was actually really good socially and just left because of a bad round of the challenge. But it happens. Him leaving gives Bodhi another opportunity for redemption, let's see how it goes!

alright i am gonna say some things lol. my opinions will def change, it's still so early. laborie - patrick is the stand out for me and my fave so far. he is smart and i love his insightful confessionals. idk if giving that idol to ryan will help or hurt him but so far i think it will help him. it seems to have gained major trust with ryan whereas before that i think ryan was scared of patrick as he should be.
ryan - i love ryan but he has got to chill. no one is gonna care that much that he knows what to expect in here being a returnee. i know i sure as fuck wouldnt. i hope he tones that and his ego down a lot or i feel that will be his downfall. he is a very good player though so i do think he can figure it out. i think he needs to clear his head and stop thinking about last season. he has me thinking he wants to be the ricky of this season and that will not work for him. we will see though, he is certainly in a good position for now.
i like emily a lot. she seems smart and self aware. she can go very far in here if she plays it right and i think she will.
amos lolllll i am still dead that he told his tribe he won the silent but deadly award. i would personally get him out first and foremost but i think he will be fine for a minute thanks to ryan.
i dont know much about nathan at all yet. sorry!
castries - ADRIANNE - I LOVE HER. MY NUMBER ONE GIRL IN HERE. SHE SEEMS TO BE A FORCE IN HER TRIBE. I HOPE SHE DOESNT START TO COME OFF TOO THREATENING BUT SHE CAN DO IT! SHE CAN PULL THIS OFF AND HAS LOTS OF POTENTIAL.
BODHI STOOD OUT FOR ME AT THEIR TRIBAL EVEN THOUGH I THINK HE HAS BEEN LESS ACTIVE. HE WAS ENTERTAINING, HOPE HE STEPS UP THE SOCIAL AND STAYS A WHILE.
I LIKE TAYLOR ALSO AND I AM HOPING FOR A TAYLOR ADRIANNE ALLIANCE HMMM WE SHALL SEE.
CANARIES- I NEED ANDREW TO LEAVE. NOTHING AGAINST HIM BUT I SELFISHLY WANT ADRIANNE TO DO VERY WELL AND I DONT SEE HER BEING ABLE TO FOCUS A LOT WITH HIM IN HERE.
JOSH I HAVE NO IDEA ON YET.
LOGAN - LOOOOVE AND I ALMOST EVEN WANNA SAY WINNER PICK BUT IT IS TOO SOON FOR MY INDECISIVE ASS TO SAY THAT. HE IS SO GENUINE AND LIKABLE. I DONT SEE HOW HE COULD BE VOTED OUT ANYTIME SOON.
I ALSO LIKE STEPHEN. I THINK HE CAN GO FAR ALSO BUT AGAIN IT IS SO EARLY.
I AM A LITTLE CONFUSED ON VICTORIA. I AM NOT SURE WHERE HER HEAD IS YET. I WILL HAVE MORE THOUGHTS ON HER LATER
DENNERY - ABI- LOL I LOVE ABI AND HE SEEMS TO BE IN A GOOD SPOT BUT IF HE DOESNT CALM IT DOWN HIS MESSINESS WILL GET THE BEST OF HIM BUT UNTIL THEN I AM SO HERE FOR IT. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT HE DOES IN HERE CAUSE IT WILL BE A LOT AND IT WILL BE EXHAUSTING IN THE BEST WAY.
ERIC - I LIKE HIM A LOT. HE SEEMS TO HAVE A GOOD GRASP ON THE GAME.
MATTHEW I AM NOT SURE ON YET. SORRY!
MIRANDA - UGH I NEED A SWAP FOR HER OR SHE WILL MOST LIKELY BE GONE SOON AND THAT SUCKS CAUSE SHE HAS A LOT TO OFFER.
IDK IF I FORGOT ANYONE. AND SORRY IM WRITING IN ALL CAPS LOL IT WAS EASIER TO SEE. I THINK THIS WILL BE A GREAT SEASON, LOTS OF POTENTIAL HERE.
