I'm so interested to see how the tribes will be split. I'd imagine they'll be so that alliances like AoE and others won't be able to just team up in the beginning and run with it.
I hope we get a lot of moans and groans when people get their tribes!

It would interesting if tribe allocation had some correlation to past placement or statistics, somewhat in correlation to how the 3 gods received their domains. Zeus got the most power having power of the skies and being the king of the gods. Poseidon got the middle ground of having the domain over the ocean. Hades supposedly got the short end of the stick having the Underworld and dead people. Just a random theory. I could be reading into the mythological theme too much and everything could just be randomed.

OH MY GOD, you color coded the tribes, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, through censor that's soooo cool.

Okay so finishing up the rest of the cast that I haven't talked about yet!
Craig - Craig is someone that I know pretty well from alias games! I have an ongoing joke that he's my good luck charm because I've played with him twice and won both times haha. But in all seriousness, he's a really good player in my opinion and he's grown a lot as a player lately. I have seen him be a force in the last two games he's played and got royally screwed in one of them. I can see him doing really well because he's not someone that has a huge target on his back coming in.
Kyle - I don't know anything about him other than his video and it was a little boring if you ask me. I hope we see a lot more of his personality side come out once the game gets going and he's definitely someone who can be a huge wild card in this game because I'm sure many of these people don't know who he is.
Nikki - My girl Nikki, love her! She was so much fun to get to know in Haiti and she's definitely someone who I can see coming and doing damage early on. I think she's an awesome personality and a really great player too and I was surprised to find out that she has never won a game before. She has a close friendship with Dru and I'm wondering if that will have any effect on her going forward.
Mike - Like Kyle, I can see Mike coming in as a total wild card. He's the oldest cast member we have season wise I think, right? I don't know anything about him either, just based on his video and it was a little boring as well. It was all in one clip of him sitting on his couch talking. I hope he has a wild and crazy side to him that we didn't see in the video and I'll be interested to see him with all of these people he probably doesn't know that well.
Mary - GODDESS, so I hear. Mary Cooper seems to be such a funny person and not based off of anything she does on purpose. I'm so excited to watch her, because I'm intrigued by her personality. I don't know much about her gameplay from Venezuela, so I'm really looking forward to seeing it here. Her videos were really lulzy to me and I'm not sure why.
Joanne - As a person, love her to death. Honestly, she was the sweetest person in Haiti by far. I hope she brings a lot of that this season, though I think her gameplay as a whole is boring and just being the floater type. She exceeded a lot of people's expectations in Haiti and I think she'll be able to get into the jury stage of the game because she will come off as a non threat like she did last season.
Drew - I don't know him personally, but I know of him. I am excited to see him play because being a previous winner, he clearly deserves to be here. I thought his video was pretty good and there were parts of his personality that came out in it that excite me about watching him in this game. I was scared to death when he kept showing the steep drop in the video though, kudos to him for doing that cause I'd probably cry.
Nic0le - One of the few people I have met! She's such a sweetheart and just a fun person overall. I just PW'd a game that she was in and she was easily everyone's favorite in that game and it's not hard to see why. I really hope she can do well and I'm going to be rooting for her so much, but I just hope the AoE alliance doesn't tear her down in this game. I think she'll be able to use her social skills to really branch out and do extremely well. Here's to hoping!
Allan - I don't know him, but know of him. We've exchanged a few words in the alumni chat in the past and overall he seems like a fun guy. His video was fun in my opinion and I saw that he said he wants to leave a mark with Sandy finishing hosting after this season, so I'm going to be very interested to see if he can do that. I don't know enough about him or his game to predict if he can, so I'll just be watching very closely.
Dru - Is it bad that I'm rooting for him to fail and flop so hard? It's not even because I don't like him as a person because I do, but it would be hilarious to me to see him do awful and try and say how awesome he is. ANYWAY, I don't think he'll do very well at all. He'll definitely have a target on his back and I could see him being taken out early for being a threat.

I feel like a kid with divorced parents!

thinking about what BK said...
wonder how the Gods will play into things...
Wonder if this is a GOOD v.s. EVIL theme with people who are wishy washy...
Zeus would be the GOOD guys Hades would be the BAD guys Poseidon would be the players that are all over the place, never know what they will do...

I'm rooting for HLC to be first boot just to protect her feelings. She's gonna take her elimination harder the farther she gets into the season IMO

Very happy to see Nicole separated from the AoE. Even though I'd love to see them all on separate tribes, I feel she had the best chance out of the three to become independent of them and survive the longest given her japan performance.

Holy moly, we have a full cast and tribes even before I could comment on some of the new reveals.
I love the inclusion of Mike and Kyle. It is so great that we are getting a chance to see more than one generation 1 players, and the fact that we 6 of them in one season - especially someone from the season that started it all - will had an incredibly interesting layer to this game. I am not sure that Kyle will be entertaining enough based on his videos, nor that he will be able to integrate well with these new players, but who knows what to expect from him other than the select few who were around back in the day? I feel like Mike is better equipped for this game and he has a solid track record. I think I will watch these guys closely, provided they don't bore me.
Two of my favourite winners join this cast as well in the form of Allan and Drew Turner. These guys have always added a great vibe and dynamic to the community and getting to see them play will be an absolute pleasure for me. I know that Allan has put in two poor performances in his last two outings, but I feel like he has changed a lot since the last time he has played, from what I hear. He also did really well in Chronicles not too long ago, so maybe he has some great momentum to capitalise on. One for thing he has going for him is that this time the rules are preventing him from communicating with on the other tribe - something that he paid dearly for in both his previous attempts. Drew Turner is just such a likable guy and just so happens to be perceived as one of the less threatening previous winners on paper and in terms of how many people watched his season. From an outside perspective, that makes him one of the more dangerous winners in my book. I can see him doing really well in this game.
The next two players I want to discuss are two players I enjoyed for similar reasons. Neither Joanne, nor Craig played strategically perfect games, but as people and as characters there was just something that I was drawn to when they played in their respective seasons. Both had a likable underdog quality about them. While it remains to be seen whether or not their non-threatening status will help or hinder them, I feel like the game is richer overall because of their presence.
As much as I would enjoy seeing Dru Hilliard go far, I don't think he is long for the game. His ability to get his minions to do his bidding in Venezuela was astounding and although I find his brand of cockiness entertaining and funny, I think there are some people in this cast who will no doubt be rubbed the wrong way by him. He is definitely going to be on many an Audrey fanboy/fangirl's (s)hitlist right off the bat. I hope that he can bring us some pure gold while he stays in the game - and judging by his "Day-In-The-Life" video, he has not forgotten how to be an epic entertainer.
Mary Cooper... I still don't know whether or not she is for real. I dont know whether she is a genuine ditz or elaborate and convincing troll and the joke is on us. I have no idea how to read her mind - as if the hours of exposure to foil while she got her highlights done has somehow left behind an aura that blocks any mental probing. I also don't really know how to predict her game. She will either be an easy early boot, or an ideal goat who will float on by beneath the radar.
I am not sure how I feel about the return of Nicole Grady... mostly because I feel like she had an amazing and complete story-arc as a character and I am fearful that her iS legacy might become tainted or tarnished this time. I really cannot blame her for wanting to come back to play another time. Hoping for the best with this one.
Nikki was awesome and fun in Haiti, but I am not sure about her place in this cast. I am not sure she did anything to warrant being an All Star, but I guess she has just as much right to be here as Fei or HLC, if not way way more. I like her, so I am hoping she manages to be a surprise package this season.
