**ASSUMING EVERYONE IS ACTIVE** this is my point of view on how things will go, totally a guess at this point as I hardly know anything about everyone. JACMELI think Yap will talk too much despite wanting to play UTR and will talk his way off the tribe right away. Next, Joanne just doesn't have an outgoing personality it seems like, I don't see her making the strong social connections that others will make, but she won't come across annoying like Yap. Plus, if this is Joanne's first ORG, she'll say something stupid and will probably be targeted for it and taken out with ease. Derek and Ash I think are the dorks of the tribe and will bond over that kind of stuff and form a strong bond, taking out Nikki before the merge for being a strong threat, and will try to bring Jared as far along as possible due to his ability to piss people off with his personality and attract like a Trevor in Venezuela. I think Derek would make it farther than Ash due to the guys on Liberte running the show, and Derek can be one of the guys. HIGHEST CHANCE OF SUCCESS Derek Ash Jared Nikki Joanne Yap LOWEST CHANCE OF SUCCESS LES CAYESThe toughest tribe to predict right now in my opinion, and yet I see this tribe attending tribal council the most while there are 3 tribes. I think Katie would control the first vote, and while I think Charlie will be the one to stick out based on his personality, I forsee Katie and Charlie becoming close and taking someone out like Brandon who seems like a Joanne in the way that he won't make strong relationships. However, Katie's run would end there as she would try to make a move on Kevin, the one I view who will be the secret mastermind on Les Cayes, and with Chandhi and Ashlee, will take out Katie followed by Charlie. Once down to the final 3 members of this tribe, I see Kevin being taken out at the early merge due to being a threat, and Ashlee following a few rounds later, though she will go out swinging. I see Chandhi as the goat of the game right now, despite the claim that she is smart, I think her age will put her at a disadvantage and will make her gullible and the one who will be bashed for not making her own moves. I don't see this tribe going far in the game. HIGHEST CHANCE OF SUCCESS Chandhi Ashlee Kevin Charlie Katie Brandon LOWEST CHANCE OF SUCCESS LIBERTEThis is the tribe I see dominating the game. I see the 3 guys forming a really strong bond. To me, Jenn will stick out like a sore thumb and will be an easy target to be the first boot of the tribe. If they have to lose another, bye bye Christina for just being a sweet girl and not having much strategical sense. That's all I see this group of 6 losing before the merge. I think Amanda's reputation will become her downfall and will lead to her leaving the game early merge like Kevin for being too big of a threat. I see the 3 guys making it deep into the game, but if 1 must go, I would say Vic as the other 2 seem more social whereas Vic isn't as quick with his words. I think Jacob would fare better in front of the Jury as he seems more solid with his thoughts while not looking like a threat, whereas while Taylor can charm people, he is a more nervous player.
HIGHEST CHANCE OF SUCCESS Jacob Taylor Vic Amanda Christina Jenn LOWEST CHANCE OF SUCCESS
If I had to predict the placements of this game RIGHT NOW (based on the above assessments):
18th: Brandon 17th: Katie 16th: Jenn 15th: Yap 14th: Charlie 13th: Joanne -----SWAP----- 12th: Nikki 11th: Christina -----MERGE----- 10th: Amanda 9th: Kevin 8th: Jared 7th: Vic 6th: Ash 5th: Ashlee 4th: Derek 3rd: Chandhi 2nd: Taylor 1st: Jacob
Keep in mind IDK when the swap (if there is one) or merge is.
I'm quite bored. Hai.This is beautiful.

Derek - is SO ecstatic… but he doesn’t sound like it. He is SO excited to fuck shit up. That awkward wink after admitting his love for Spencer won me over though. The form of his duck lips at the end was so incredibly fabulous. In all reality though, he gives me hope. He is DEFINITELY better than the last batch of videos, and maybe some hope for them gays after Jared proved all the stereotypes right. I will root for Derek, as long as he is not super catty and annoying. Also, if Jarek becomes a thing. I quit.
Brandon - is so disappointing… I wanted him to have a hot Kentucky accent, which he didn't have. ALSO, WHY IS BRANDON DRIVING A SCHOOL BUS WHERE CHILDREN WILL GO?! I liked the ending with the funny faces though. He seems like he will be entertaining, though his accent is all sorts of messed up.

I cannot WAIT!
I know a couple of these people and have played with only Jared, who dominated in challenges. He will be entertaining.
Most of the people I recognize I do not know firsthand, and I can't wait to see what they bring to this series!! I feel like no matter what happens, this season will breathe even more life into iS.

Video assessments - just a quick note before I begin. I'll be just a tad brutal with a few of these, but I totally expect my opinions to change as we see these players in action. So, that's that. Let's begin.
Yap - It's kinda hard to take him seriously, since he was trying SO HARD to be entertaining. Too hard. The only thing his video told me about him is that he probably suffers from a bit of low self-esteem that he's struggling to compensate for. Oh, and he has a strategy of being a background player. Snoozefest, anybody?
Jared - Kind of obnoxious, but I can definitely see him being a big character... briefly. I don't expect him to last too long. I just see him rubbing people the wrong way.
Joanne - A little full of herself - I don't think her comments about how awesome she is are totally for the camera. I think she really believes them. If that persona doesn't cause her to be too big too fast, she'll be amusing to watch, but she's definitely less brilliant than she thinks she is.
Derek - I like this kid. His enthusiasm is going to be fun to watch, but I expect he'll suffer from a bout of Bortonitis (Mikey B from Micronesia) at the beginning. If he gets over it, people will like him enough that he should make the merge.
Brandon - I like his sense of humor. There's something charmingly self-effacing about it. If he were more outgoing, he'd be seen as an instant threat, but he's just mellow enough that he's going to be one hell of a dangerous social player.
Amanda - She's on Jenn's tribe. Those two are going to butt heads nigh-instantly. They have the same basic personality, but Amanda will be a little subtler about her word choice. So yeah, either they'll be best friends, or worst enemies. 2-3 odds it's the latter.
Jacob - not much meat on that bone. He's just foolin' with the camera, but at least he's not afraid to make a fool of himself. That might come across as being fun and likeable, but could also backfire if people think he's just an idiot.

Derek - sounds eager and energetic. I think he'll actually play pretty well. He seems to want to submerge himself in the game and become a huge part of it. I can tell he wants to make a difference and get the ball rolling.
Brandon - I think he'll be a good player, and play smart - the only thing I can see holding him back is that he even admitted he can be a bit too trusting, and he said he'll try to work on it but since I think he's new, I don't think he realizes how hard it may possibly be to have to refrain from trusting people and being skeptical. He seems awesome and exciting as well, and I hope he is able to separate his trusting nature from the game!

Hey guys! About to take a look at the vids, I'll post my thoughts as I go along:
William Yapp: lol love how he called it "Survivor i22" and then said "vote for me" haha. Really like him though!!! He's so fun to watch!! I am totally a rosebud! haha.
Jared S: LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joanne: Aw she is so sweet!! Love how she put together her Day in the Life video!
Derek: Omg love him!!! Love that he recorded his video in the car lol. He is soooo cute though!!!
Brandon: Aw he drives schoolbuses!! That's so cute. Aw he's driving and filming!! Just like Billy Debney did!! Omg I love how he said he wants to take selfies with the kids <3 That's so cute. Even though I got kind of bored of watching him sing for a minute and 7 seconds, I think he seems so fun!!! I would want to hang out with him.
Amanda: Aw love her! I like her so much more on video than through text. I'm excited to watch her play!
Vic: Love him!! Love his presence on video, he is so cool. Wow, I love his Day in the Life video!! That's so awesome that this is the first game he's playing as himself, so excited to watch him this season. Also, if that's his house, it's so big!!!
Jacob: Love him!!!
Okay, those are my thoughts for now! I will post more when more videos come out!! =]

Take home message - no matter what, Kirin loves everybody. Ev. Ver. Ree. Bah. Dee. <3 Kirin! Vic's video is good. Lots of personality there, and an unabashed presence on camera. This guy I'm going to enjoy watching Confessionals. But the basketball... dude. Put it down. Surely you have more to your life than that frickin' ball. And paying tolls. But he does strike me as someone who can take the heat, and that's a critical first step. Joanne's enhanced video, I agree that this shows a lot more personality (and Trevor's cameo was cute... and I don't use that word lightly). Glad to see there's more than just overconfidence that masks insane jealousy.
