Cast Intro and Assessment

[Host Lex]

This is long overdue! This is all based on what we know of these players before the game as well as their pregame confessionals. Time to meet the cast!

Ashley Underwood



"I personally see myself as a hero but for some reason I am usually not liked."

The first time I met Ashley, I was stuck as her partner in Survive Big Brother 2. She played as Lauren from BB, and I played as Rob C from Survivor, which kind of showed our differences right away haha. Working with her was really funny because we were both just so different. She's social enough, and pretty active, but it's not always happening upstairs for her haha. Working with her on some challenges was hysterical because of all the goofs she made. She's not the brightest player, but she was there to play, and she ended up outlasting me and Brett and made it to the finals so I give her props for that.

She's a fairly fresh face in this group of players, and that excites me. Neleh said Ashley is her ORG BFF, which is pretty funny to me. They aren't very similar to me at all. Shane and her played in Boo's game, Iceland together. She was Sierra, and she screwed Shane's side over.

I'm not sure who she knows in this cast coming into the game. As she was signing up though, she was in the middle of fighting with the host of another game she's in. That host was Klein, who's playing as Edgardo. Klein is using an alias however, so I'm not sure if she'll find out if it's him. I hope she does.

She talked about how she's not always too well liked in her pre-game answers, but she said she's trying to work on that. That'll be interesting. One thing that I always found hilarious in SBB2, was that whenever we were voting to evict someone, she would come to me all excited and would ask if she could leave a mean eviction letter for the people we were voting out. She got a huge kick out of it haha. She's not afraid to tell it like it is, and I think she's somewhat disliked for that sometimes. It could end up screwing her over in this.

Prediction: Pre-jury

[Host Brett]

Bob Dawg Mason

"I'd describe myself as kick ass awesome."

Bob Dawg and I have played together a lot, but we've never worked closely together. The guy knows his Survivor trivia and usually has a lot of fun, but his success in a game varies wildly. He's come a long way from being a somewhat notorious flipper who makes a lot of moves, ineffective or not, so someone who tries to run shit and make a lot of moves, ineffective or not. He's a great player at the best or times, but at the worst he's pretty laughable and over-confident. He makes stuff happen though and plays to have fun, which makes him a great player to have.

He has a lot of strong connections coming in to this game. DD, Cirie and Kim were all aligned with him in Survivor: Manchuria, the 3rd season of the Russell Series. He ended up idoling out Kim (haha poor Kim) and went to the end with DD and Cirie, but while Cirie was more of a goat, DD was his partner and f2 for the entirety of the game. They are extremely close and usually work very well together.

I think Bob Dawg could go very far, but the people who know him don't really seem to be planning on letting him. Sherea is already pissed that DD and Bob Dawg are together, and his friend outside games/nemisis in them, Edgardo, is probably onto him a bit, because lets face it, who plays as Bob Dawg?

Challenge threat, decent strategist, a bit of a weak social game, but always entertaining and a great addition to the cast.

Prediction: early jury[/center]

[Host Lex]

Cirie Fields



"I only compete in challenges if I'm drunk so... yeah..."

I got excited when Cirie signed up because she was someone whose AIM I didn't recognize at all. I soon found out she was yet another person from Andy's All Star game. She was Brandon in that, who self voted and was killed by Sherea very early on. I'll I've heard about this guy is that he's always entirely useless, which is unfortunate. He has a history with Kim, Bob, Danielle, and Sherea, and it's not too good. Since they know who he is in this, his life expectancy in this game is not too long.

From what I know of him and what I've seen in the pre-game chat, he seems like a funny guy. He's always seemed likable enough to me, but I've never known him very well. I don't know anyone in this cast who might be on his side, though he's active and seems ready to play. He may find himself in hot water very soon though.

Prediction: First boot! ( )

[Host Lex]

Courtney Yates



"I met a few people and I do must say they are a pain in my ass or I rather pull an embryo out of my Uterus. Jesus, I hate humans. "

Hooray! A person I know absolutely nothing about. I'm glad to have another fresh face in this cast.

I talked to her for awhile on AIM during the start of the game. She's a good person to talk to. She's social, and not inept. Two great things to make it far!

I thought her pre-game confessionals were funny. She's very with this cast which is always fun. She also says she knows no one going into this game. Should be interesting to watch someone I'm unfamiliar with.

Her activity level worries me a little bit, and I have no idea how strong of a physical player she is, but her social skills could potentially help carry her.

Prediction: Late Pre-jury

[Host Lex]

Danielle Dilorenzo



"No matter what, I'll do what I need to get what I want. "

Our buddy Hays. She's a real great social player, and through her past games she's built up a lot of connections which help her in other games, including this one. Due to her social skills, she beat Bob Dawg and Cirie in the finals of Andy's fourth game, Manchuria. In All Stars, despite knowing that Bob Dawg was going home, she voted against someone else with him anyway. I think that shows how close her and Bob can be.

She's good friends with Bob, Sherea, and Kim. I believe her main allegiance will always be with Bob and Sherea. Despite being great friends with Bob, and never voting for him, I think she's willing to let him go if she has to. Watching how those four will pan out should be interesting.

I don't think she's the biggest Edgardo fan in the world, and she saw through his alias pretty quickly. She also hates Ted due to Ted backstabbing her in several past games. However, she doesn't know who Ted is since he's alias.

She's a huge threat to win already, especially if no one steps up to recognize that soon. She's also great at finding HII's, and desperately wants to make All Stars already. She's absolutely one to look out for. I expect her to go very deep into this game.



Prediction: Finalist

[Host Lex]

Edgardo Rivera



"I'm El Doucho for a reason"

Oh boy. Klein.

This guy is infamously very clueless in every game he plays. He's always delusional and thinks he's running the game, but he never has an ounce of power...ever. He's always the pawn and gets thrown to the side whenever the real power players no longer need him.

Despite being clueless, he impressed me in Andy's latest game, Jiuzhaigou Valley. Through Andy's series he knows Kim, Danielle, Bob, Neleh, Ted, Cirie, and Sherea. He also knows Ashley, because they got in a fight over some other game as this one was starting. However, both are alias and don't realize who the other is. Also, he got in a fight with Courtney almost immediately after pre-game chat went up. Which is both awesome and

He's not too gifted strategically or socially. Physically? Not particularly. He's had his moments. He's never afraid to be confrontational, and I will say he's always playing to win. Despite his lack of....most things, Edgardo always tries.

I don't think any of his connections or past relationships will help him very much. If anything I think they'll hurt him. He's a chatterbox, and tells everyone absolutely everything. This could cause a lot of drama between other players and help him advance further, or it could end up terrible for him. I'm leaning towards terrible.

Prediction: Pre-jury

[Host Lex]

Jason Siska



"I am Jathoneus God of the Sea, and I will triumph."

Amazing.

This guy is without a doubt top 3 most entertaining to me. His whole God of the Sea act is hysterical. The image he posted in his confessional, the way he talks to people, etc. It's all so funny. And the best part is, he NEVER breaks character. It's so awesome.

He knows that he's gonna piss people off with his act, but he's playing to have fun and to be entertaining. Unfortunately, if people are too annoyed with his cockiness then he's not gonna last very long, but he knows that.

Who is he? Beats me! Which makes his whole act even funnier. It really feels like he just fell from the sky and landed in our game.

Apparently he's tight with Shambo, so the fact that he's playing as a character doesn't surprise me.

He did break character when he was talking to me on AIM for a bit. He seems like nice guy. I think his social skills could probably get him far, but it's funny because he's not gonna rely on those in this at all.

If people can get over the fact that his act is cocky, and see that he can help out in challenges, then I think he can make it far. If he can get his foot in the door and survive the first few rounds, I think he can make it pretty far. Giving how entertaining he is, I hope he does.


Prediction: Early-jury

[Host Lex]

Jimmy Johnson

"These people are really fucking annoying. They're all too happy for me."

Ben. Roberts.

Ben comes from a forum that I run (EN). Brett, Hatch, Rupert, Na Onka, are also from the forum. So are a few other players (more on them later). Jimmy is the laughing stock of the forum. He's not quite angry all the time...but he's not happy either...

He's never played an actual ORG before. His social game is going to be the worst you'll ever see in your life. Intentionally or not, he's gonna piss everyone off. He's not gonna go out of his way to talk to anyone at all, and he'll probably only respond to IM's if he feels like it. Right off the bat, he's getting into fights with people. He's absolutely never afraid to say how he feels about you.

The thing is, he's a big Survivor fan and knows the game well. If he could not be such a dick, and if he cared about winning this thing, I think he could maybe do well. His activity is great too. He's constantly online.

Unfortunately, I don't see that happening. I see Jimmy being entertaining because of how dry and blunt he is, getting in some fights, and then leaving due to being unanimously hated. I don't think anyone else from EN will fight to keep him.


Prediction: Early jury[/center]

[Host Brett]

Kim Powers



"I confront people when they need to be and I am also nice and loving to those I like."

Ah, Kim! My buddy!

I know Kim primarily from the Russell series, where we alligned during All Stars only to end up trying to kill each other. I idoled her out. It was fun.

Kim is a very good player, enthusiastically good at challenges, decently strategic, but primarily Kim is a talker. She focuses mainly on the social game and doing what she can to get iinto everyone's good graces, and it works... at least for a little while. The other thing with Kim is that she likes to call the shots and has a very high opiiniion of herself, so she tends to do things to prove that she is just as good if not better than she thinks she is. She makes moves that are less calculated strategy and not well-thought out because she needs to feed her ego.

With Kim, she is very good at getting things to go very well for her, but once things start going her way, she gets sloppy. She ends up making a mistake here or a slip up there and alienates the trust she worked so hard building up, and she never seems to notice in time to mend the damage. This almost always ends with her getting hit with the wrong end of an idol.

She is a fighter though, an extremely dedicated player and a great addition to the cast. She plays to win, and one of these days I think it'll pay off.

Coming in she knows a good half of the cast, DD, Bob Dawg, Edgardo, Jason, Neleh, Sherea, etc. She's also got connections with Shambo, Ted, and Sally but she isn't aware of those at the moment. She's starting off in a very good position, but I get the feeling if she gets too comfortable, she's going to shoot her game in the foot somehow.

Prediction: 7th or 8th place.

[Host Lex]

Neleh Dennis

"The Hosts kinda scary me.. They were like so sexist. Sausage Island!!! I heard they also eat people so I'm going to be extra careful with them. "

I like Neleh! She's someone that I know virtually nothing about coming into the game. She's Misty in Andy's current game, that's really all I know. I do know that she was Team Kim, but is now Team Lex, which is good enough for me! ;D

She's from Malaysia, and her broken English in her confessionals and such amuse me greatly. I enjoy reading her confessionals a lot. She's got a quirky and entertaining personality. I can see her using this to become close with a good number of the cast.

As far as strategically and physically, I have no idea how she'll do, but I'm excited to find out. Typically, the very genuine, kind, social players aren't the ones plotting the blindsides or betraying anyone. We'll see if she follows that pattern.

If I had to guess, I'd say she's voted out during the jury phase because she'll be a jury threat due to likability.


Prediction: Mid-jury [/center]

[Host Lex]

Phillip Sheppard

"Hello everyone. The voice of reason has arrived. "

Oh.
My.
God.

Phillip is Henry from EN. He's a crazy German pothead who usually drives everyone around in insane. But at the same time, he's brilliant.

He's seen one episode of Survivor in his life, and in that episode Phillip was arguing with what Henry calls "those white bitches". When I asked Henry to play, he said he would be the crazy black man. Such a perfect fit.

Despite being completely foreign to all of this, Henry is extremely dedicated. He did his research and looked up a bunch of Phillip stuff. He's got quotes saved for different situations, and he's surprisingly good at adapting his very unique personality to fit with Phillips. When we'd play mafia anonymously, he was always surprisingly good at creating a character and keeping his alias, at least until he started flipping out and yelling at people.

He's not used to socializing with these random people on AIM at all. It's gonna be very awkward for him, and extremely awkward for the people he talks to.

He's without a doubt the person I'm the most excited about. Just the thought of him IM'ing peope to talk strategy hahah, it makes me laugh so hard to think about. He's just so out there.

He truly does have his moments of brilliance though, and I really do believe he can do well in this game strategically. He's also very active, and he really does give it his all. He gets very into things.

His problem is gonna be his social skills, and his lack of knowledge of the game and how it works. The other day he IM'd me and said "if i want an alliance with someone, can i just propose it publicly on the board? or is that not done?" That really sums Phillip up right there.

I'm extremely excited to watch him play. He's gonna the most entertaining person.


Prediction: Early pre-jury[/center]

[Host Lex]

Boston Rob

"Hey guys it's leos"

Another one from EN, equally as unique as the other three. Leos is hilarious. Everything he says is gold. All of his one liners are just so...different. It's so funny.

We invited him to play because of the entertainment he'd provide. I believe he used to play ORG's back in the day? I can't remember. But I know he's knew to this 'crowd' I guess you can say. He has the EN'ers, Jimmy, Phillip, Rory, but he's weary to work with them. Tbh, he should be. He thinks if anything they'll bring him down.

Rob's far less inept than the other three. Unlike the rest of the EN'ers, he has the social skills to help him make it far. He's a strange guy, but he's down to earth too. He's a conundrum really. I think his social game could potentially be great. He's fun to talk to, and I think he can fit in with any group really.

He's a big fan of Survivor, so watching his strategic game is gonna be really interesting. His physical game is a mystery to me as well. I'm excited to see how things turn out for him. Based on pregame, he's one of the more entertaining people in the cast. I hope he makes it deep into this game.

Prediction: Jury[/center]

[Host Lex]

Rory Freeman

"ON A TRIBE WITH A BUNCH OF YAPPY WOMEN!!!"

Yet another from EN, our final one. The person who introduced me to ORG's! Coming into the game, he might just have the biggest reputation out of everyone in this cast. Not in a good way.

He's very infamous for playing loud, obnoxious, in your face pain in the ass characters. It's usually hilarious. He doesn't take these games seriously at all, so when he's surrounded by people who do, some hilarious stuff happens.

He's probably most popular for playing as the self proclaimed "King Frosti" in Bermuda Triangle. He was also Frosti in Andy's series, so people in this cast are familiar with him.

He has a huge rivalry coming into this game with Ted. There were both in Bermuda Triangle together and hated each other. Ted's alias in this though, so Ted knows Rory, but Rory has no idea. If Rory found out, the results would be hysterical.

I've seen him do amazing things in games when he's giving 100%. The problem is, lately he hasn't been giving it his all. Unfortunately, he's in the process of moving to LA so I think his activity level well be very low, which is a shame. I'm hoping he at least brings his Rory "The Crusher" character to life because he can be a wealth of entertainment.

He has the ability to make it far in games, but he thinks he's a lot more successful than he really is. His ego is quite big. He'll end up quitting a lot of games and proclaiming himself the winner of it. It's half hilarious/half annoying.

He's gonna be confrontational, and it won't bother him at all. He's overly dramatic, yet doesn't care at the same time. He's funny, but a nuisance to all players and hosts. He's got an awful social game, but somehow can make it far if he wants to. He's another conundrum.

I expect a poor activity level will hurt him in this game, and I don't think he'll care enough to form friendships which could help save him. I don't see him lasting very long.

Prediction: Pre-jury[/center]

[Host Lex]

Shambo

"I also don't have testicles, but I have more balls than any of the sissy's you casted"

Shambo is someone that I'm becoming fairly good friends with, but I know nothing of her gameplay.

She played as Kipp in CYS: Mariana with me recently. She hated me for no particular reason, so I hated her and idol'd her out. It made me happy. Later on, I played in a game that he was hosting and we became pretty good friends.

The great thing about Shambo is, she's all about character. Like Brett and I, she really loves character arcs. She sees these games like a good book like we do. It's nice to see other people like that. Winning isn't at the top of her list, she just wants to create memorable characters. It came to no surprise to me that she's friends with Jason, since he's another big character player.

Watching her create her Shambo arc will be fun. She knows she's gonna annoy people with it though, but that's okay to her. She just wants to have fun. If she annoys people enough, she could be sent to pre-jury pretty soon. At the same time, she has some connections (despite playing alias), and hosts as well so she knows how to do well in the game. I'm hoping that she can balance the character acting with some solid gameplay. If she does, she could do well for herself and be very entertaining.

Prediction: Jury[/center]

[Host Brett]

Sally Schumann



"I'm somebody that is set out to do good in the game and not backstab and double cross anybody unless it's necessary. I like having the respectable image and not having my karma at -50 when I leave the game lol"

Ahahaha Sally...

Sally is playing as a girl for her very first time as a consequence of his indecision on whether or not to play leading to only one spot available. I know Sally from when she played as the great Earl Cole in eSurvivor: Capri. Earl was amazing. He aligned with my group and for a while things were pretty good. Then after a few swaps and a couple twists, we merged and Earl did not vote with us that round. But he had a really good reason and it was just this vote he was straying for because he really really wanted to work with all of us.

And next week Earl did not vote with us. I would ask him why, he would have a solid reason and a promise of voting with us next week. This happened the next week, but with a shitter excuse and a more exaggerated promise of loyalty in the next vote. Earl Cole made the finals and never once did vote with me. After a while we were both clearly keeping up the cycle for laughs.

And really that's the best way to sum up the way that Sally plays. She will flip whenever its convenient, and she will enjoy outwitting whoever is dumb enough to expect loyalty. And the thing about Sally's playing style is that its highly successful. She makes the end often and sometimes doesn't even gather votes. Its never won her a game yet, but I think her time is coming.

She knows Kim and Shane coming in and possibility a few others, but knowing does not equal loyalty and the only way I see those relationships coming into play is if Sally uses what she knows about them to screw them.


earl 4:37 am
Enough with this hero stuff doesn't work any better then being a hated villain lol

She can call herself a hero, but she's already bored of that idea.


Prediction: Runner-up





Shane Powers



"That one thing he said on aim that i forget"

Shane! My friend!
I’m not entirely sure how exactly how Shane should really be introduced. Me and him played together in eSurvivor: HvsV, though our alliance lasted all of an hour before he was blindsided. He was playing as Shane, and was a past winner, the only one I even remotely got along with. As a host, I watched him in Iceland and I know his reputation from eSurvivor. He’s a known challenge whore and can pick and is extremely good at picking up opportunities when they present themselves and running with them.
This game, I really don’t know how he’ll do or what. If he can survive to the merge he could potentially win his way to the end… though he’s not the only challenge whore around, so maybe not. His social game is decent though he doesn’t go out of his way to socialize. He’s a funny guy though and very likable, so he may very well go far if he can get in good with the right people.

Prediction: Jury



Sherea Lloyd



"So guess what everyone?! About 30 minutes into the game, I already hate half the cast! "

Based on the pre-game questions alone, I'd say Damien's my favorite at this point.

He hosts a Survivor series, CYS. I like watching other hosts play. I think it's interesting. Host's realize how much it takes to run a game too, so I feel like they're more invested in the games that they play. Hopefully Sherea's the same.

I don't actually know much about her gameplay at all. She was in a game with me once, the Big Brother game that 'Sausage Island' came from. She was evicted and went on a bit of a tirade, so she definitely knows how to stir up drama.

If her answers to the pre-game questions are any indication, then she's gonna be very interesting to watch. I'm not a huge fan of the Sherea/Danielle/Kim/Bob alliance because I know how strong those four are, so seeing that Sherea wants to possibly break them up in the future makes me happy.

She has very strong ties with Danielle, which will help her go pretty far. However, Danielle has strong ties to Bob as well, which Sherea doesn't like, so that'll be very interesting. I suspect that either her or Danielle will be taken out during the merge in order to split them up.

Prediction: Jury



Ted Rogers


"I grind big fat bitches that everyones hates, I am a Hero.
"
Ted is funny! I met this guy in Namibia in the Amanda series and I thought he was a nice guy but a bit of a huge airhead with reading comprehension difficulties. At the end of the game, after he read what I said about him, he proudly announced to me that I fell for his Fabio act and that he wasn’t really as dumb as he was pretending to be. We ended up talking a lot after that game and played together a few more times. I got to know Ted a little better and get a real sense of who he is, and I learned that he was actually huge airhead with reading comprehension difficulties.

He’s a funny guy and not too bad at challenges. Part of his biggest problem is he panics a lot when things aren’t going his way and makes stupid moves or too big moves as a result of that. If he can avoid doing that for once, he might do well! TBH though I get the impression his Ted shtick, while hilarious, is going to rub people the wrong way and probably freak out the people he tries to align with. I can’t wait to watch.

Prediction: Jury
