I'm super excited for this season. I think the cast has potential to make it a great season. I will do First ten(10) here.
Adam is a great character, he is very funny and entertaining. However, I think we all can agree that he isn't the best when it comes to strategy and coming to decisions that are best for his game. I'm really excited to see what he took from his season and how he will be applying it to an All-Stars season. I would love for him to take a step back and not be so in-your-face and let the big dawgs fight it out. But can he do that?
Amber is a really good social player. She is also not really credited for her social game which is something she can use to her advantage and have other people underestimate her. I can see her do very well this season. I think her main issue in her OG season is that she was very under the radar and a lot of her decisions weren't sold as her moves so it was difficult to convince the jury to vote her. I think she may base her game and opinion on people on what her first impression on people or what she already knows about them though. She wants it so bad this time, can't wait to see what she has in store for us!
I feel like in his OG season, Billy was a baby. It was his first ORG, he was really scared to get out there and just play hard. He really didn't play to his fullest in Season 3 and ended up being blindsided at final 7. I think after playing other ORGs, he's shown that he is a hell of a player... And like his game card said, "he isn't a rookie anymore". I love Billy's presence in calls and his catchphrases. I think he will do fairly well in this season. Wondering how he will maneuver his relationship with Ricky and Christen.
Bodhi is a fucking walking legend. His personality is fucking everything. This guy stab you in the fucking back and you'll be like "it's okay, it's Bodhi". He is extremely funny and a great overall addition to the season. A complete breath of fresh air. In his first season, he wasn't as social with people throughout the season which I think hurt him A LOT. But nevertheless, he managed to get to the final 5. I hope this time around he puts in more time to have relationships with people because if he puts in the right amount of time, he can be a hell of a social threat. On top of that, he is a risk-taker. He isn't afraid to call anyone out or make moves, please bring it this season!
Michael Motherfucking Brady. Love this guy. I'm such a fan. Last season, Brady managed the pre-merge portion of the game great. He controlled a lot of his tribe's decisions. But when it came to the merge, he was a minority. He did not manage to over-come being at the bottom, but he was the last one from his tribe to be picked off which speaks volume of his abilities. This season, he is playing with some of his close friends like Patrick. I think that's in a lot of people's minds. They will be targeted for it but I think out of the two, Patrick may be the bigger target because he is more likable (according to Amber). I hope Brady kills this season!
When Carley first played Ecstasy, she had no idea what a social game was. She thought she just had to be on every now and then... This hurt her game a lot, she didn't have the connections in the game to move forward. But in her season, when people were coming after her, she managed to win the POV and keep going. She made the final 2 and lost simply because Paula played an overall more complete game. Carley has played several games after and is now familiar to the Skype world. I'm excited to see her back and see the difference. She's also very competitive and determined in games. She's playing Massacre, (hopes she pays more attention to AS).
Christen was so close to winning her season. That would've been bittersweet. It would've been good because she would've been a cuter story than Ricky's win (sorry Ricky) but at the same time, all season she gave us this "I'm taking Ricky out" story that never happened so that made me glad that Ricky won haha. But Christen is coming back now again. She's a great player, I think she's very analytical and strategic. I hope this time around she cuts her ties at the right moment. Christen isn't the most well-liked person in this community but she makes it work. I'm rooting for her! Hope for best for her!
Emily won XTC St. Lucia as her first ORG. She was a very well-deserving winner. Emily sort of played this pawn type of game for the first part of the season then became this queen and got her crown. Since then she has played a couple of other games and made herself known as a cut-throat smart player. I think that's definitely going to hurt her this season. I don't see her lasting very long because I think people are scared of her.
When Frances played season one, she was SUPER engaged. She was so active and had so many confessionals. It was very easy to root for her. Sadly, she was blindsided right before merge. Since then, she has also played a couple of other games. I think she's a good player and she pops off at times so I'd like to see that. I can see her getting far because I don't know if she portrays a threat to many.
The FUCKING OG QUEEN!!!!! Jayla won XTC on her first season and it was amazing. She went from almost being second boot to winning. She hasn't played any ORGs since (i believe) so it's super nice seeing her back. Today was her birthday so she wasn't online much except for a little bit on chat. I really hope it doesn't bite her in the ass. I'm definitely on the Jayla train!!
