Like I've said before, Boo really has no filter. He tells you exactly what he thinks, whether or not its good for his game or not. If he doesn't like you, he will tell you right to your face. Boo is great for drama as he is generally more pissed off than he is happy. Boo seems to like Rob and Matt the most on Saayazu, and they are an official trio right now. There is no telling what he may do but from my experience Boo also tends to say too much sometimes and be very paranoid, which may lead to his downfall.
Prediction: Late Pre-Jury
His dedication to the game is only matched by Stephanie. This guy is truly obsessed which is why I decided to cast him again. Rob's problem will be he is so obvious about it. Rob is already beginning to annoy people with his strategy talks early and his paranoias and suspicions and backup plans. That kind of overanalyzing so early in the game can make people frustrated and not trusting of you. If he can chill out and not annoy people with his extreme zeal, he could do quite well because in general people like Rob. He already has many connections and the Banana Bread alliance with Matt. My prediction is however that Rob's extreme enthusiasm will actually get the better of him.
Prediction: Mid-Jury
Eddie is a very smart player I can tell. He knows he is fading quickly on Saayazu and is coming back quickly from it. This is the type of self-awareness and intuition that seperates a smart player like Eddie from players like Danni and Pete who are largely clueless to how on the outs they are. He hasn't done much and has so far had a relatively slow start, now it depends if we can dig himself out the hole and get into the game.
Prediction: Mid-Jury
Marcus has suddenly become a power player, he's in a core alliance with Boo,Rob and Matt on Saayazu now and has discovered the wind crystal, giving him the ability to save himself if the swap turns out badly for him. Marcus does have one flaw though, he is not taking advantage of the One World rules and talking to other people on other tribes. He will need to build relationships from scratch at the swap. Marcus may quickly find his torch snuffed once he is off Saayazu, unless he makes a smart use of his precious crystal.
Prediction: Late Prejury
Matt is playing the game very smart. Forming a small cross tribal alliance of 3 (Rob-Steph-Matt=Banana Bread) is perfect, small enough to not be obvious and powerful enough to cause some damage. People tend to like him and are not really annoyed or threatened by him, nor do they see him as a liability. Matt is playing a middle of the road game, enough to dictate how the vote goes without being a target himself, he has the potential to go a very long way.
Prediction: LATE JURY, possible finalist
I had my hopes up for him early. Rob and Matt wanted him in, he was writing great confessionals and was playing the game hard. But now Shawn has had 1 blunder after another, first letting his tribe down as the MVP that never was and now pawning his computer to buy his brother a prostitute as Boo says, thus losing internet access. Erihuffman is as usual a huge disappointment.
Prediction: Early Pre-Jury
He's quirky, he's finnish, 17 years old and likes to joke about sex organs. I don't see Zane fitting into long term alliances or being any type of power player. He'll make some friends and have some funny moments, but ultimately he will be expendable to every alliance he may find himself in.
Prediction: Mid-Pre-Jury
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He has suddenly become a lot more interesting! People seem to like Adam on Nyonni, and he is very well liked by Steph, forming a fascinating Love Triangle between her and Rob. He isn't a power player though, least not yet. His gameplay is kind of similar in a lot of ways to Matt, binding his time in the middle before maybe making a big move down the line.
Prediction: Mid-Jury
Like I said before, he has a tendency to be emotional, irrational and impulsive. We can never know what Jolt will do, but so far he is doing quite well and is very well liked. It's going to be interesting to see how he will handle the pressure though of having to go to tribal council.
Prediction: Early-Jury
People really dont like her. It probably dont help she is always invisible. She is doing great in challenges and she won the first Fire Crystal leading her team to victory. It's hard to tell if deep down people are threatened by her or maybe its just her lack of socializing? Likely a combination of the two. Gina is probably going to be one of the major threats blindsided relatively early in the game.
Prediction: Mid-Pre-Jury
Laura is just kind of there, under the radar. Even Rafe who includes her in his group says he wants to make her feel like a power player, which to me means he is using her and she is expendable. She will likely be expendable wherever she goes much like Zane.
Prediction: Mid-Pre-Jury
Natalie isn't afraid to get down and dirty. She is truly one to look out for because I don't think people will expect how cunning and cutthroat she is. I have a feeling she will be getting far this go around.
Prediction: Late Jury
Pete is trolling hard. Being the only player without an AIM and posting moronic comments all over the place, he doesnt realize everyone is laughing at him not with him. They'll keep laughing at him until the he is epically blindsided.
Prediction: Mid-Pre-Jury
This guy is truly fascinating:
My final 2 partner currently is Brenda Lowe, we have not confirmed anything but my desire to work with her is greater than anything at this point. (Please don't base tribes around that fact) but if she is not in my tribe, I will continue to persuade her to join me through cross tribal communications.
Myself, Brenda, Stephanie and Natalie Bolton. I love each of them and want us to solidify this but I obviously have to wait.
Major power player here. He has F2 plans with Brenda, Natalie and Stephanie all seperately, and they are his ideal F4. He becomes threatened when players have a higher postcount than he does, and seems to be very paranoid, jumping to conclusions based off very insignificant details. Rafe is going to be fascinationg to watch, he could either become a massive trainwreck or a finalist with a lot of bitter jurors on his case.
Prediction: Finalist
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brenda is a lot of fun and she just loves to talk shit about people. She is also a big social butterfly and chats with everyone in the game, and people are catching on. It seems they find are shady, since they know she is talking to everyone, they assume she already has a shit ton of alliances. Brenda will become a force to be reckoned with, she will need to be careful though not to make too many alliance or badmouth someone to the wrong player.
Prediction: Jury
I am liking Corrine more and more. She was the only other person besides Marcus to locate the wind crystal and puts her all into challenges. If she can get off the disasterous Tingbani tribe, Corrine may soon find herself in a decent alliance. Corrine strikes me as someone who is very loyal but will likely be more of a follower and will be seen as either expendable or a jury goat by a powerplayer.
Prediction: Possibly early Pre-jury if Tingbani loses again, if not she appears like she can make it to the Jury phase.
Had to fill a spot, probably should have denied her and gone with someone who came in late after signups, may have been better off.
Prediction: FUCKED
She's inconsisent. She'll either be incredible and unstoppable, or just kind of blah. Hopefully this season we will see the incredible/unstoppable side.
Prediction: Jury
Kinda dumb and silly, not the best at challenges and has a language barrier. The Tingbani Trio chose her over Corrine though, but I don't see her surviving through the upcoming tribeswap.
Prediction: Pre-Jury
Last but definitely NOT least. Stephanie is by far the most dedicated and active player in the cast. Boston Rob is also obsessed but Stephanie is smarter and more experienced at the game than him. She has many connections too, links to Nyonni, Saayazu and Tingbani and the challenge prowess to go with it. It will become clear that she is a huge threat by the time merge hits, but I think she'll have too many loyal allies to be taken down, including Rob, Matt, Adam, Rafe, Brenda and Kat, and thats only in Round 2.
Prediction: Late Jury, possible Finalist.
Predicted Final 2 match up:
VS But heck anything can happen, can't wait to see how this all unfolds.
