Cast Reveal/Preseason THOUGHTS

[elyse]

Next 6 reveals:

Ben: Ben has some awesome energy coming from his meet me. I feel like he’d be someone I would want to work with just from that. He also seems super smart and funny! I’ve never seen someone talk about board games but I think that’s so awesome! Also love that he travels. I just know I would’ve worked with him if he was on my season lmao. I feel like he really knows how to talk and keep a convo going so I think he’ll be able to gain allies pretty quickly. Really excited to watch him play!

Gina: A MAIL MAN?? Sorry that’s iconic. She seems so cute and bubbly! I think I would love to be friends with Gina in real life. I have no idea how she’ll play, she seems like she could be kind of shy but also maybe not and could make friends easily. She seems likable so I hope she does well!

Kilby: First of all just wanted to say Kilby has 0% chance of winning this season. (Only saying that bc he said it about me preseason last season and then…I won so hopefully doing you a favor Kilby I don’t think Kilby will have trouble in this game. He knows how to play and he knows how to do well. If he gets out early I think it would be due to reputation. He’s a great guy fun to talk to and I see him making it far this season.

Ryan: Love that he talks about his family. He seems really friendly and like a good guy considering other elder guys in this community can sometimes be creepy! The only thing I’m worried about is that he may be clocked just for there not being other players around his age or that are also married with kids, but who knows. I played with Nicole all of last season and she was the same way and she made it to the end! I could see Ryan and Kilby aligning. We’ll see how it plays out for Ryan, but I’m rooting for him!

Taylor: Oh she played Survivor Maryland? She must know what she’s doing!! She seems strategic and already know how she wants the game to go. I think this is good but I hope she is able to be flexible if something happens. She seems like she could be a big villain this season. I like her. I can see her winning if she doesn’t make the jury too bitter (try joking in the tribe chat Taylor, it worked for me!)

Nicholas: Ugh I love Nicholas. I’m biased but he’s my favorite person on the cast. Nicholas is so likable and has no problem with getting people to like him. He is so energetic and will attack a bitch if he needs to! He is drama and will be so fun to watch. I think he’ll go far this season!

Final reveals + preseason rankings:

Antoinette: She seems like she is super cool but could be shy. She is a teacher though so maybe she just seems timid in her video! I love that she love martial arts. I have a bad feeling that she could get booted early just bc she doesn’t get connected well but I really hope she proves me wrong!

Gaston: I’ve heard of Gaston but don’t really know anything about him. He’s had some org history so I think he knows how these games operate and will know how he wants to play. He seems super social and charismatic (and also says he is) so I do agree with him that I see him at least making it to merge, potentially making it to the end?? I’m not sure. It’ll depend if he can play UTR enough in the beginning! Looking forward to watching him play, I think he’ll have a big influence on this game.

Malkon: MALKON!!! Ugh I love Malkon so so so much. He’s so fun and I think you can tell that alone from his pic lmao. I’m so looking forward to see him play and can see him getting far here! Always cheering for u mallon

Jackson: Jackson seems really nice. (I feel like I’ve said this for a lot of people lol). He kind of reminds me of Jack but maybe a little less advanced in the game as Jack. I don’t really know what to think about Jackson tbh. I didn’t get a lot from his meet me and I hate judging just on these videos bc MY MEET ME VIDEOS ARE ALWAYS SO BAD AND I GET CLOCKED SO HARD but then I win so even tho I’m gonna rank Jackson low I do hope he proves me wrong and has some potential. He at least seems excited so I’ll give him that!

Van: This meet me….I’m in love LOL. THE ANIMAL CROSSING BACKGROUND MUSIC!! 7 MINUTES LONG!! They seem very funny. They talk a lot. They're not strategic? I could see them being a great ally. I don’t think I see them getting far at all but I absolutely love them. I do think they could get far if they're taken as a goat. I might be so wrong and kinda hope I am bc I’m not kidding I’m in love with this meet me. A+ work.

Ali: CASTING ALI AND NICHOLAS ON THE SAME SEASON!!!! I LOVE IT! THE CHAOS! I NEED THEM TO MEET UP I MISS ALI AND NICH DRAMA! I had the pleasure of hosting Ali in HAVOC (along with Nicholas) and he is so funny. He brought so much energy and fun to HAVOC and I know he’ll do the same in All Out. He’s good at making people think he’s with them. He plays kind of dumb, even tho he is a bit delusional about his placement in the game, but he’s able to trick people into thinking he’s with them when he’s not. I can see him getting far in this game unless Nicholas gets in his way premerge.

Jumi: I really like Jumi. She seems like she is really interesting and would have a lot of things she could talk about. She does seem a little shy, but I really hope that doesn’t get in the way and she can make it far. I really want her to do well!

Last two reveals!!!

Ali- I was sooooo stoked when I saw Ali was on this cast! I know him from HAVOC and was constantly entertained by his one liners and antics. He prefers to play the game with the "chill" people, but let me tell you...somehow Ali is a magnet for the drama! In particular Nicholas went off on him at multiple tribals in HAVOC, so that dynamic will be one to watch should they meet up in this game. But even if they say they want to work together, I can't see it going well. The two are oil and water, but it's sooo good😂 Ali played a very loyal game previously, so much so that he was dubbed a goat, although optimistically he will say he's the "Greatest of All Time". I know after HAVOC he wanted to change how he plays, so let's see what that looks like!

Jumi- She's in a band and plays bass 🎸! I hope to learn more about what kind of band this is and some of her songs. Maybe I'm hoping for too much, but I would love for her to write song confessionals about the game and sing them with her bass guitar...that would be iconic!!! She might be the youngest player, but she's clearly fearless enough to attempt a physics degree, so don't underestimate Jumi!

Now here's my ranking 1 to 6 of each tribes players (Based off preseason excitement) and my wishlist for them:

GALAGA Tribe
1.) Taylor
2.) Joshua
3.) Kilby
4.) Gina
5.) Ryan
6.) Jackson

Wishlist for GALAGA Tribe:
1.) I want Taylor and Gina to form a duo
2.) Then Taylor and Gina can form side duos with Joshua and Jackson
3.) I want everyone to be paranoid about Kilby, but for some reason avoid directly targeting him.
4.) I want Ryan to make a final two with everyone

ZAXXON tribe
1.) Ali
2.) Gaston
3.) Jumi
4.) Alexander
5.) Marcellino
6.) Antoinette

Wishlist for the ZAXXON tribe:
1.) I want Ali to dance to Jumi's bass guitar
2.) I want Alexander and Marcellino to pretend to bro down together while secretly (though not so secretly) trying to via for control of their tribe by targeting each other.
3.) Antoinette to find the idol and surprise me with an over the top personality
4.) A trio alliance of Gaston, Ali, and Jumi
5.) An Ali vs. Alexander showdown

XEVIOUS tribe (My favorite tribe at the moment)
1.) Nicholas
2.) Ben
3.) Aly
4.) Malkon
5.) Kari
6.) Van

Wishlist for the XEVIOUS tribe:
1.) I want a Nicholas/ Ben showmance and final two with all the highs and lows
2.) I want Aly to be a diabolical mastermind and turn out to be the biggest villain of the season.
3.) I want a Malkon and Aly sugary sweet, villains in disguise alliance
4.) I want Kari to give everyone legitimate nightmares and wreck everyone's games.
5.) I want Van to get the full version of the video editing trial
6.) I want no one to touch Ben because he's perfect.
7.) I want Nicholas to bond with Kari, but then realize she's trouble and pop off
8.) I also want this tribe to only attend one premerge council together, but for it to be the longest, most convaluted tribal that will be the talk of the town after the game is over and still bring all the players to tears, except Ben
9.) I want Ben to find the idol...or be given the idol

All reasonable requests for my favorite tribe🤷🏻

[dara]

Here's my thoughts on people I have thoughts about.

Kari - She's the best! I could see her being really into the game and winning, I could also see her not feeling it after a few days and checking out. She'll definitely have a lot of people liking her. I'm excited to see if Nicholas and her get along. 

Nicholas! - I played his first ORG with him and then later on All-Stars with him, he was already very social and very charismatic the first time, and even a better player the second time. Everyone will like him, he'll talk strategy with everyone. He'll definitely make merge outside getting swap fucked. 

Gaston - Very nice, very likeable, he's played a lot of these so I'm sure he'll be fine. 

Taylor - I got really nervous vibes from her? Idk if that's just the nervous for her first game or just that's the way she comes across in general? 

Jumi - Seems very smart.

Ben - I don't know why I liked this guy so much after his video but if I saw that I would instantly want to play with him so I'm hoping he goes far. 

Ryan - I could see him doing well on his original tribe (maybe I'm just manifesting a Kari-Nicholas-Malkon alliance where they bring in Ryan b/c he loves dogs)

Antoinette - She has a black belt so that's pretty cool.
