Just like Heroes Vs Villains. Imagine that.
Obviously, I'd prefer others in some of there place *cough*Erinn*cough*Stephen*cough*anyonefromGuatemala*cough*JuileWolfe*cough* but I'll try to be as nice as possible. :)
Now! On to the show!
First the favorites!
Andrea. Redemption Island, 5th place.
I've never had a problem with Andrea. She looks like a nice gal. I love the purple in her bathing suit. As her gameplay, I'm not sure if we'll see her go too far. She went far in RI, but that was under Rob's wing, and because no Zaps are back (you know, the smart people that booted off the troll) I don't expect a lot form Andrea. However, I believe I said the same thing about Amanda on her second time. So, yeah, prove me wrong friend! Also, she loves unicorns. Cool beans.
Random thought- Royal is the best name for anyone.
Brandon, South Pacific 6th place.
He had such an awkward showing in SoPa. Still, I'd prefer him to any other member of his family, and I do hate the crap he gets from Russell, especially since he was around my age now while he was on the show. That being said, I except a good showing from him. He's older, and in my eyes he has cleared his name by making his own. I don't see him lasting after a tribe switch though. The fans see his last name and boot him fast. Poor kid. I do love the fact he named himself as the past contestant he is most like.
Random thought- Can we ban Russell from the Reunion this time?
Brenda, Nicaragua, 10th place.
Does this mean I have to relearn how to spell "Nicaragua"? Damnit!
Brenda. I loved her and picked her as my tip to win it in Nicaragua, but as the season went on, I found her kind of, well, annoying I guess? I mean, right now I can see her making the merge. Survivor is a female's game, Amber, Sandra, and Parvati have won in some kind of All Stars/ Favorites settings. If I have to pick one, I have to either go with her, or someone else that we'll get too. She says she's more mature this time. I can buy that.
Random Thought- Sorry, Sash is not another Favorite.
Corrine, Gabon, 7th place
I could always see Corrine coming back. She has a weird name, and a really bitchy jury speech. Highlights of her bio includes saying that she back because she ran out of bar stories, her pet peeves include people that use the Door Open button in an elevator, and she's most like Randy. I can kind of see her getting far, I would say early merge boot. I want to see her on the jury again, but I don't really want her winning.
Random Thought- I respect anyone with the twitter name of Coco VonMufflestein.
Dawn, South Pacific, 10th place.
Wait, she only got 10? I thought she was higher? Oh well. She's my other pick to win it. She's such a sweet heart, she's my favorite favorite, and she can be a force in challenges. If she does win, she'll be the nicer Sandra. Well, kind of. Sandra was all like, everyone but me, but even Sandra was in a top alliance that got dismantled. I can see her getting far, and her dress is really awesome. It's pretty colors. So I see her winning, but if not getting very high. I'll be surprised and shocked if she doesn't make the top six.
Random Though- I always seem to fall in love with the old women on the cast. I fully blame Lydia for that.
Erik, Micronesia, 5th place
Yeah. Fans rep from the original Fans vs. Favorites. Plus him and Brandon represents the, I should have kept the damn necklace club of two. With Jenna laughing at them. But I'd love to see Erik get some redemption. He deserves it after getting humiliated on national tv by those girls. So I want him to go far, I can't say that he will. I see him as the full on wild card right now. I see him anywhere on the boot list.
Random thought- Nice to see that you still have that weird haircut.
Francesca, Redemption Island, 18th place
Sweet, does this mean that Timber Tina could still be asked back? But still, it's nice to see someone with no chance on her past season, the problem being is that this wasn't the setup for Fanny to come back too. We already have two other RI reps, why another one? All aside, well she couldn't do any worse right? To set in the nicest way possible, there was a reason she was a first offed castaway.
Random Though- Suck will got bonkers if Franny either wins, or get booted out first again.
John Cochran, South Pacific, 8th place
This guy is back. Okay. I'm largely indifferent to him as a player, but I shouldn't be, because I'm sure if I get on Survivor everyone on Sucks would call me the female Cochran. I would have loved to see him on SoPa without returning players, but this is the next best thing. I think he might get far, if anything as far as last time. I might be in the minority that thinks that him flipping was only controversial as it was because it was against Ozzy.
Random Thought- Is that the same red shirt? Great job buddy.
Malcolm, Philippines, 4th place
Weren't you on my TV a month ago? Okay, the problem with Malcolm, is the unknown facter. Check the filming dates, no one knows who he is, he has no allies, and with the Russell thing in HvsV, he is a dead man walking. It sucks, but the producers doomed him for ratings. He will either get picked off, or stay in long enough to get picked off. It's this gut feeling that I have. If I'm wrong, then I'm sorry for doubting you.
Random Thought- You cannot be the golden boy, because Amy O'Hara has yet to call you such. kthxbai
Phillip, Redemption Island, 2nd Place
The only returnee to make it FTC. He is a decent, even nice, guy in real life, but I bet money that he will return to his beloved antics soon enough. It will be nice to see him without Rob, like Andrea, but I don't know how he will do. I can see him getting screwed by a tribe switch. Or maybe forced to leave the game due to craziness. I don't know. He does have the running total of most votes cast against in a season, there has to be a reason for that right?
Random Thought- Please tell me Julie didn't steal your shorts again before you went back. I do not want to spend any amount of episodes of your pink undies on my screen.
Favorites as a whole- I think the winner will be Dawn, and the first off will be either Malcolm or Franny. I'm sure I will be wrong on that part, but hey, I tried.
I thought about using Orange text for the fans, but I have an orange bg at the moment. So I shall us this shade of green.
Alexandra "Allie" Pohevitz.
Her last name blew up my spell check. Her bio screams "girly girl" and those don't usually do that well on this show. You can go far if you use that good social skills to find a great alliance. However, she might be more dangerous than anyone might think. She named Jenna as the player she was most like (Morasca, not Lewis) and she was thought to be first boot bait. I'll give her the befit of the doubt, but I don't see her in the merge tribe.
Random thought- Her Nanny occupation reminded me of Ami's random change to that in Mirco.
Eddie Fox
Looking at his bio, he seems well prepared for this. He seems like a charming guy as well. Although I do have a bias for firefighters(See Firefighter Steph/Julie, Tom Westman) this doesn't stop me from noticing this guy. He can make the merge, if he isn't seen as a threat and get booted off quickly. (See Mikey B.) Or he might be that charming guy that entrances everyone. We'll just wait and see.
Random Thought- I might nickname him Firefighter Eddie, if there is another Eddie on another season.
Hope Driskill
Your last name killed my spell checker again. However, I think you can be a strong player. The bio on her seams like she'll be like, the next Natalie Bolton or something. She'll be dangerous, but the fans will be too busy trying to oust Eddie or something. She'll make the merge. I can feel it from her. However, she will be cut loose. At any point, she will be blindsided.
Random thought- Pre Law Student? Huh, I did sense an Eliza vibe from her, I can't wait to see the facial reactions.
Julia Landauer
I like her. She has good energy about her in her bio. Sucks doesn't really like her, but I see her kind of like Sophie. I like her. I also see an Alexis type mold with her. Also, she seems like a cool person, a Race car driver? Sweet. She also gets the distinction of youngest female fan (like Alexis) as well as being the youngest in the cast. I will be keeping a close eye on her, and you should be too.
Random Thought- Why is she the only girl on the fans tribe to not have blonde hair?
Laura Alexander
I feel like she'll be the snarky person from the Fans tribe that will get a lot of airtime, but will get voted out due to a tribe swap. Either that, or make the merge, then be the Purple Kelly of the season. I see no in between for this gal. I can switch her with Allie and have the same thing, except in her bio, she speaks down to the girly girls that I get the vibe from Allie. I don't see her fitting in a mold as easily, although she could be kind of like Mary, if she wasn't voted out 2nd that is, not the Mary Who part.
Random Thought- I'd like to see a jury speech from her if Allie made the finals so bad!
Matt Bischoff
His beard + the long hair would really scare me in real life. He seems like a character, likable, but something tells me he does not make the merge. I'm sorry. He will be seen as a threat in the beginning, like Rupert was and either him or the "Trish" will go home. I don't know, the thing with Mirco, is that all the strong fans went home until the tribe swap. So I don't see him going far.
Random Thought- His bio had the word beard in it like eight times.
Michael Snow
Going from the hairy guy, to the bald one. Nice one. Oldest guy on Gota, might just miss out on the merge, or get voted off just after. He can be a great villain though. I can sense that vibe from his bio. I mean, he is a nice guy, but you need to seperate it from real life, and I see him as a villain, kind of in the Cesternino vibe, or even like Marty.
Random thought- I think he might resemble Chad if he grows a beard.
Reynold Toepfer
Well, I found Survivor Oz's favorite guy, he lived abroad in Australia. Cool beans. He reminds me of that weird kid that no one wants to sit with at lunch time. So yeah, Jason vibe, so early merge if he makes it. He even has the same goober smile. But, I might like him if I get to see him in action. I know my spell checker doesn't like him. How do you say that last name?
Random Thought- I don't want to see him flirt like Parvati, please leave that out editors kthxbai.
Shamar Thomas
A guy under 30 with a shirt on! Yes! Okay, for reals, I like him. Marine Corp, Iraq war vet, I feel a connection to him in that way. Seems like a great guy! I like to say that he makes the merge, but he has the physical factor working against him, and because of the way that the last FvF worked, he might not see him make the merge.
Random Thought- Why do guys with arm tattoos cross their arms in their cast photos?
Sherri Biethman
Are you sure she's under 30? She looks pretty good for her age. Well, I think she can make the merge. The others I saw them go either way for the girls, I see both her and Julia getting the farthest of the women fans. She named her youngest after Colby which I thought is cool. I feel a Tracey vibe from her. My only advice is to be careful during a tribe swap, but otherwise I have hi hopes for this one.
Random Thought- If you youngest was a girl, who would she name her after? Tina? Elisabeth?
Nice looking cast, I can see them working into Survivor History. It looks like a great season! Well Jeffy says it will be too.
So hear are some rankings to close us off!
1. Dawn (Female players win this format!)
2. Brenda (second coming of Parvati vibe)
3. Cochran ("I know everything about this game, but I'm mostly a guy!")
4. Erik (Not dumb anymore, amIright?)
5. Eddie (Hold on, I'm going to save this cat up in this here tree)
6. Julia (Zooming her way into my random favs list)
7.Corrine (If she sees this, I might get a profanity filled E-mail)
8. Sherri ( Guess what, I like her, so shut up!)
9. Hope (Don't give up hope yet Hope!)
10. Michael (Meh)
11.Phillip ("To Hell with you Miss Igotareallycheesyblog! I should be at least eleven spots higher!")
12. Laura ( Hey, you're higher than Allie!)
13. Franny (Yeah.)
14. Shamer (Marine guy, but early threat)
15. Matt (Please say honk of lamb in the first episode please.)
16. Andrea (Not Redemption Island to save you sweetheart)
17. Reynold (Sticks are not your friends buddy)
18. Brandon ("I'm not like anyone in my family! Giving Immunity up was way smarter than bringing Natalie White to the finals!")
19. Malcolm (Fans: *Golf Clap*)
20. Allie (Sorry, this ain't the shopping mail)
Look! In pretty colors too!
