Post subject:  Discussion of the One World cast release *Possible spoilers*
I would rather not discuss spoilers, but I put the warning there as per Brenda's request. I just thought we might enjoy a friendly little discussion to keep us occupied when things get quiet around here. Sort of like having our own fun & other nonsense thread. So let's just discuss who you like, who you dislike, ect.

Post subject:  Re: Discussion of the One World cast release *Possible spoil
Yeah, i accidently saw a spoiler about the cast, and i'm just trying to clear it off my head so pleaseee no spoilers.

Ok the cast, omg *fans self* I pretty much freak the fuck out when a cast is released and even though it's filled with such obvious mactors i'm still super duper exited! Because i have no life, i'm gonna go ahead and rank the cast.

1 Kim- Omg icon_chaos she is such a dork and she just seems like a normal everyday girl and her being able to tell what a animal you are icon_lol She seems like she's a nice, physically strong girl.
2 Kourtney- I love that she isn't your typical recruit, and her really cool hats <3 So Hipster lol. The fact that people are saying she will look better if she lost weight icon_rolleyes Bitches Please! I think she might be a pre-merge though icon_weep
3 Bill- I love him! From what i'v seen of his total famowhore comedy, rap videos he posts on youtube <3 I think he is really cute and funny, and plus he is a fan of Survivor, yay! icon_wub
4 Monica- I love the fact that in her cast writeup she basically just wrote every little detail of her and her "so amazing" husband's life. She sure does fancy herself a whole lot, I think she will definatly be a character :)
5 Michael- I actually kinda liked him and his cast video, yes he does seem vey douchy but he's definatly not boring, i don't know i have a feeling he's gonna be entertaining.
6 Sabrina- Such a firce black girl and to me she dosn't scream pre-merge boot for some reason. She said she's gonna be funny so hopefully. I'm defianlty rooting for her.
7 Chelsea- I usually hate Southern Blondes on Survivor (except Whitney) but like she seems to be not so much of a sweethart, i mean i don't think she is the type that will allign with a alpha male and ride his coattails, she seems kinda bitchy and she's been in fist fights so hopefully we get some catfights.
8 Troyzan- His audition for the show was amazing, and he definaltly will not be boring but let's just hope he won't get too much airtime.
9 Leif- lol his name sounds like leaf icon_lol and he's a hobbit He seems a bit boring in his cast video though.
10 Matt- His kinda cute and really fit, he just seems like a big douche, i think he's gonna be the type that try's to be the leader. He's very smart so i'm hoping he really does something great in the game
11 Kat- I do really really hope she's just this lulz crazy traiwreck girl. Her mug shot <3 I just really feal like she's a cottail rider who won't get loads of airtime :(
12 Colton- I hateeee his voice, lol gosh it's annoying. The worst type of Gays are the total diva annoying types, but he's a Suckster and he's probably gonna bring lots of bitchy and lulz momments which is good, but he totally screams pre-merge
13 Christina- I'm usually *fans selfing* over Asians on Survivor because i worship Asians but omg gosh how annoying is she, and her acting like she is the only goofy Asian girl in the whole wide world icon_rolleyes I don't know why i dislike her so much, i do think she will be a trainwreck which is good and she's probably gonna annoy the fuck out of eveyone.
14 Alicia- She seems and acts like a Pornstar, her thinking Jenna Morasca is from Season 1 though icon_laughing icon_lol She seems way to hyper and really trashy. She say's she makes good tv so i guess will see.
15 Jay- His video was really boring and his voice, OMG HIS VOICE! icon_lol icon_lol Yeah that's it. Oh and apparently everyone thinks is omg super hot, meh his alright.
16 Jonas- icon_sleeping I was really bored watching his video, i don't really know what to think of him and he seems a little too nice, he can cook some stuff for the tribe though icon_smile
17 Nina- Super feminist, she kinda just seems like your typical older lady. I dunno....
18 Greg- icon_sleeping icon_sleeping He gives me Cowboy vibes, i don't think he will do much icon_no


IT TOOK ME FIVE GODAMM HOURS TO WRITE THIS SO PLEASE DON'T IGNORE, LOL THANKS! icon_yes

I`ve watched 8 of the video so far and decided to come back to the others later. I always misread the characters off of these vids though so Idk what to say.

Troyzan seems like a character I kind of get Jimmy T vibes from him. But whats up with a Troyzan and a guy (greg) who is nicknamed Tarzan icon_lol I think its the mustache that gives you the Cowboy vibes Jan. But yeah I don`t expect much from him.
I guess it`ll be interesting having a suckster up there but gahh he seemed annoying.

I agree Leif seemed boring but, the jokes you can come up with for him are endless. I look forward to him and his tall tales icon_cool

The Asian chef guy Idk what it is but I expect something out of him (but again I`m usually wrong about these vids)

Agree with what you said about Michael as well for the most part.

Don't worry Jan, I read it! And I agree with most of it too!
Matt and Michael seem like total douchebags.
I saw the cast early, and I used to think Jay was just average, but omfg is he hot now icon_wub. Can't wait...
Nina seems kind of annoying...
I feel like even if Lief sucks at challenges, his tribe won't vote him out too early so that they don't look bad or discriminatory. But he seems really interesting and likable from his bio.
Christina Cha ! <3 I love almost all the female Asians (-Jenny, becky, stacy) on survivor as well!
Kimberly and Kat seem okay, not really anything too special to me. Kimberly looks sweet and fun. Except Kat looks like a trainwreck...she's 22? She looks at least 15 years older than me and I am not even 20 yet...
I feel like Sabrina will be a really good player, like UTR supergenius who shines after the merge. icon_wub
Alicia looks trashy... and she seems pretty unintelligent too lol icon_rolleyes
OMG Bill looks amazing!!
I saw some of Monica's facebook pre-release and she seems really cool and definitely had a good sense of humor icon_laughing
Chelsea looks like an even better version of Whitney who was an UTR goddess <3
Kourtney indifference.
Jonas also looks like he will be some kind of mastermind. or really boring
Greg indifference.
Troyzan will either be really cool or an even lamer and more dramatic jungle boy than ozzy was icon_rolleyes
Colton.... um, he's super annoying and being the only gay on an all male team most likely means he will not last too long.

Ranking:
Women
1. Chelsea
2. Christina
3. Kimberly
4. Kat
5.Monica
6. Sabrina
7.Kourtney
8.Nina
9. Alicia

Boys
1. Jay <3
2. Bill
3. Leif
4. Jonas
5. Troyzan
6. Greg
7. Colton
8&9. Matt and Michael. *will not even put in the extra effort to distinguish them*

Post subject:  Re: Discussion of the One World cast release *Possible spoil
I actually liked your assessment Jan. When Michael was first spoiled, my duche-o-meter went off. Now that I saw his video I actually kinda like him.

Kourtney might just be one of my favourite people to play the game ever. I have a bad feeling she might go early though. My pre season favorites since Gabon, have all been voted out 1st or 2nd:

Michelle
Carolina
Marissa
Sugar (although Sandra winning was amazing)
Wendy Jo
Francessca
Christine (I know she almost made the merge, but technically she was voted out 2nd)

I will give more thoughts later but I am so lazy right now haha.

Here is something from MSN where Jeff teases some things: http://entertainment.msn.com/beacon/edi ... photoidx=1

It was kind of interesting.

I may take flak for this... but without seeing any gameplay, I am very disappointed so far. Cast seems far too mactor-ish, and boring. I hope I am wrong.

Thanks for the link Ken, I was looking for that. Jeff's opinions are actually not that bad this year, i'm just so glad a Hanz isn't in this season so he can rub it all in our faces. The cast definatly dosn't look the best but i think it looks promicing :)

Post subject:  Re: Discussion of the One World cast release *Possible spoil
I found it hard to say something for some of these people, because it is still fairly early. This is just my opinion of how things appear as of now. Some of my opinions will likely change after the season is over. For now, though, this my personal opinion on the cast.

Kourtney - Amazing icon_wub, not much else to say. Just a little tidbit about her. Those goofy hats she is wearing in the publicity videos, she knitted those herself. Here is her website, and you can see all her creations: http://www.superhappyfunknittytime.com/index.html.
Funnily enough, when she was originally spoiled, I didn't like her much. She seemed like she would be bitter, and a little bitchy. After watching her video I saw she was actually sweet and sincere. She also doesn't seem bland and boring like most of the females that get cast these days.

Troyzan- I have mixed feeling about him. On one hand, I really like him. On the other hand, I can see him being Jeff's man crush and we will be seeing too much of him, and too much of a good thing can be bad. I also think that he might be too excited that he is finally playing Survivor, that he will forget he is playing Survivor. I can see there being a pivotal moment where if he just makes a certain move, he could win, but he wont because he seems too nice to make the right moves at the right time.

Leif- Leif is someone I am rooting for. I always root for the underdog. I remember back when I was in elementary school there was a basketball team of little people (and one tall black man) that toured to different schools called "The Half Pints" and they were actually very skilled athletes. I think that if they give him a chance to prove himself, maybe he could also be a valuable asset in the challenges.

Greg- He seems just so anti-social to me. He looks like a nice guy, but he might have a hard time fitting in. He is like the 63 year old version of Coach. I assume he reads a lot, because he makes some references to some classic novels, and seems very intelligent. Sometimes people like that just inadvertently isolate themselves and they just don't fit in. He is quite fit for 63, though. I can't imaging he will be terrible at every challenge like Danny Lembo.

Jay- He probably has a nifty looking invisibility cloak he brought on Survivor as a luxury item. I am sure those that find him attractive have a reason to love him, but I like girls icon_razz .

Colton- The guy is a douche, there is no need to be around the bush. He is a straight up douche. I don't like him, but I hope he lasts a long time. He will make the show amusing for sure. Colton will be the straw that stirs the drink, and for that reason, he will be a fun character to watch.

Sabrina- Sabrina reminds of Naonka personality wise. If Naonka were a likable human being that is. I think she will definitely be very funny behind the scenes. Hopefully she will last longer than Stacey did last season, because I only started to appreciate Stacey's humour in the episode she was voted out.

Monica- She seems nice, and likable, but probably going to hide under that same invisibility cloak Jay will be under. She can also be a target early on if the younger girls think she is too much of a parent. She is really in a tight spot, because she will probably also be targeted post merge, because of her physical strength. I think that she will have an uphill battle if she really want's to win. It is only because she will be a huge threat right from the get go.

Nina- She seems to have a feminist chip on her shoulder. I think that male-female equality is important, but she comes off as a little bitter about it. That is definitely the type of personality that can rub people the wrong way. Especially if she is very outspoken about it. If she doesn't know how to hold herself back, I don't see how she can last long in the game.

Jonas- Before the actually cast reveal, I was very excited for him. Now not so much. He just has a very monotone voice. He seems smart, but maybe too nice. I can see him falling into the classic swing vote trap of trying to make both sides happy, and he ends up getting the boot himself, because he can not make a decision of what group to stick with.

Kat- On paper, I love Kat. I really enjoyed reading her bio, especially when she said her inspiration in life was Xena, and she does seem to have a good attitude about her. Her video she comes off as slightly different, though. She was not as bubbly as she is saying she is. That could probably change on the show, and I hope it does because I really want to like her.

Kim- Kim is someone who I could see myself being friends with in person. She is very open, and speaks her mind. I think everyone watching would probably at least want to meet her for one reason, and that is to know what animal she thinks they are.

Matt- Much like Colton, Matt will be a villain. Unlike Colton, Matt will not overtly be the villain. I can see Matt being the Albert type who is very quiet and sociable at first, then he tries to pull off a big move, and it back fires on him.

Alicia- Alicia seems like she could be fun to watch. When she was bragging about it before the cast reveal, I thought she was full of it. I am starting to warm up to her now, though. She doesn't seem like the type that will take someones BS, I am hoping she gets into a few fights this season. I usually enjoy the sassy women on Survivor, so I hope she delivers the sassyness.

Bill- He seems like he has a good head on his shoulders about the game. I also love the fact that he is the first stand up comedian on Survivor. If he were smart, he would hide that from his tribe, so they don't think he is just a joker not to be taken seriously. That could be his downfall, being too funny. When you have to live with someone 24/7, it doesn't matter how funny they are, they will eventually get annoying if they are constantly making jokes.

Chelsea- I honestly don't have much to say about her. I hope she lives up to what she has been saying about herself, because it would be a nice change of pace to see a alpha female provider.

Michael- This is someone I have done a complete 180 on. I hated him before the cast release. I thought he looked like such a douche. The funny thing is, he even admits that people usually think he is a douche based on his appearance. I think that if he stays under the radar, he could get deep in the game and be a big threat to win.

Christina- Another one I have mixed feelings for. She reminds me a lot of Shii-Ann. That can be good and bad. I am a huge fan of Shii-Ann, but that means she probably wont do so well in the game, because Shii-Ann was seen as unbelievably annoying.
