This survivor episode started with Candace’s closest ally Erinn left in the dust as an outcast. Coach talks trash about Erinn, saying Erinn “insulted” everyone that night. Then, it’s day seven, and Jerry is growing tired of camp life, feels weak, and claims to be sick. Meanwhile, at the Jalapao tribe, things seems more high-morale as everyone is fishing. The Jalapao tribe mates talk about hoping that they continue to win.

In the first reward challenge, teams had to select a person to be the leader (No, Coach didn’t dictate this) and lead their blindfolded tribe mates to collect a bucket and fill It with water, then fill it in another bucket, and do the same thing again but with Corn. Debra and Joe were the leaders. Joe and the Jalapao tribe mates worked together well enough to embarrassingly put Timbira into their position. The Jalapao tribe mates won furniture, tarp, and blankets, etc. Taj and Brendan were once again exiled.

Back at Timbira, Coach calls Tyson his new “assistant coach”, and those two have probably been guaranteed a bond for a while. We hear more about Jerry struggling to deal with being around camp. Meanwhile, back at Jalapao, the tribe continues to have more high morale as their like their winning streak. Meanwhile, Back at Exile Island, Taj and Brendan talk about getting a four person alliance moving along that nobody will know. They are sure about their next clue.

In the immunity challenge, teams have to roll over boxes and then stack them to spell their tribe name. Timbira actually took the lead, and almost had a hope in winning. However, Erinn emerged as the one controlling the challenge, and the tribe failed to listen to her orders, letting Jalapao catch up. Jalapao ended up wining immunity.

Back at Timbira, Jerry is still not feeling all too well again. Meanwhile, everyone is in the water talking about voting for Jerry. However, Coach is offended by Erinn grinning and he get’s so offended that he just has to get his way and vote for her. We do know that Brendon ends up finding the idol behind the tree mail box. The scene leaves us with Tyson talking about liking to see blindsides. So, at tribal council, there’s a little debate of whether Brendan is a better leader than Coach. However, it was a 6-1 vote that got Jerry booted. Thirteen people are left. Who will go next?

Personally, Coach needs to change to dictator, because just because someone liked Candace or grins that they’re safe, it doesn’t necessarily get offensive. Coach is playing the game way too hard and it’s going to bite him hardcore. His stupid sheep, Tyson, Sierra, and Debra are also not that good. Debra and Sierra are most obviously weaker than Erinn. Erin, I really like now, and would love to see her team up with Brendan and his idol and use it to blindside Coach. I think the viewers are waiting for Coach to get blindsided too. Personally, I’m rooting for Jalapao, and I hope they continue to kick but in these challenges. Sandy seems to have found herself in this episode, so far. However, I’m worried Taj is just going to blow things for herself. Who is Sydney? Overall, this was an OK episode, as it was nothing special. Jerry was probably a good boot because he wasn’t much use to the game. This season looks like could have potential if something interesting happens. J.T. looks like he’s in a good position, but since we haven’t seen much of that tribe in strategic action since day 3, I don’t know for sure. I still think Taj should watch it.

TOP FIVE SURVIVORS:
1. J.T. (3)
2. Erinn (2)
3. Brendan (1)
4. Spencer (3)
* I only have a main four, nobody else is winning me over as potential favourites

The Amazing Race begins with Margie/Luke departing. All of the teams were directed to go to Munich, Germany. At the airport, eight of the teams called for an airplane before getting to the airport. Those eight teams were rewarded with the best flight, and this left Mark/Michael and Christie/Jodi in the dust called “The Last flight”.

So, in Germany, teams traveled to Rupholding, Germany. Once there, they must take a cable car up a mountain where they’ll receive their next clue. During the navigation to the mountain, Jen/Kisha argued over who should lead the team, and who should follow, using age as an excuse. Tammy/Victor were the first to arrive, and since it took longer than two minutes for the others to arrive, they were able to take first place to themselves. In the next clue, it was a roadblock, paragliding. However, teams were given the chance to turn around and walk down the steep hill following arrows, if the wind was too bad for paragliding. Immediately, all of the teams were told to wait, since the wind was too bad. Luke seems to like Cara/Jamie, as he says he communicated well with them, according to Luke. So, everyone went down the steep hill, except for Mel, who stayed and wanted to paraglide. It was Tammy, Kris, Margie, and Victoria who succeeded the roadblock, and put those four teams ahead. Mel, who is now praying for a miracle to see the wind change, ended up seeing his wish come true. This allowed Mel to glide his way from last, to the middle of the pack.

Right about this time, we see Linda lost and confused on which way to go. Even Steve says Linda is not the best at directions. Honestly, it’s just knowing from right to left. So, finally, Cara/Jamie, Jen/Kisha, and Mark/Michael are the next to finish, and they move along, nearly escaping last. Before we go to commercial break, Linda is by the highway crying until after commercial, a German local takes her back to the right track. Meanwhile. Tammy/Victor arrive at their next destination, Schonau am Konigsee where they have a detour: Balancing Dolly by riding a segway over a 2-mile course or Austrian Folly: throw pies at your team mate, and look for a cheery filling. Tammy/Victor managed to arrive and finish their detour before any other team arrived. Then, at a woodcutting machine, they were given their next clue: The location to the pit stop, Schloss Hellbrunn in Salzburg, Austria. Tammy/Victor were indeed the first team to arrive, receiving first place, and their prize was hybrid go-karts.

The next few teams to arrive were Amanda/Kris, Mel/Mike, Margie/Luke, and Brad/Victoria. They each all chose a detour and completed it without much conflict or struggle. Meanwhile, Linda was the last to complete the roadblock, and she was sure Steve would yell at her, however, ironically, Steve was very nice about it. Meanwhile, surely enough, Mel/Mike were there taking second place, with Amanda/Kris following them, getting third place. Margie/Luke take fourth, and Brad/Victoria take fifth. Meanwhile, the next few teams to arrive to the detour are Jamie/Cara, Mark/Michael, and Jen/Kisha. Apparently, Jamie/Cara finished their detour faster, and moved along faster leaving Mark/Michael and Kisha/Jen at the Balancing Dolly detour. So, Cara/Jaime are rewarded with sixth place. Christie/Jodi are the next to arrive to the detour, and after they complete it, they spend time wasted for finding the woodcutting machine. Then, Kisha/Jen are still bickering over who should be the boss of the group, and it frustrates little sister. Finally, they are able to rest, as Kisha/Jen take seventh place with Mark/Michael taking eighth place. Jodi/Christie are still finding the woodcutting machine while Steve/Linda arrive to do Austria’s Folly. It becomes an edited neck-and-neck race between the teams. Jodi/Christie, however, took the glory of being second-to-last yet again, thus meaning Steve/Linda face last, and were eliminated. Nine teams remain. Who’s mistake will lead to an elimination next?

Personally, I think we are looking at one of the best seasons of this show. I mean, the tasks are entertaining, and most teams are developing a story, and there are a few people surprising me. Yeah, Tammy/Victor are deferentially the team to beat, with only one weakness, Victor’s over protection of them. Mel/Mike are really surprising me, and It’s kind of interesting that Mel, aged 68, was the only one who did the paraglide. That’s’ something we don’t see every season of TAR. I kind of like how Luke is able to make friends with Cara/Jaime, that’s real nice. I really hope that Kisha/Jen pull it together, and learn to work as a team, I mean, come on, they are all-star athletes after all. Christie/Jodie kind of concern me, after acing both titles of second to last. They have deferentially emerged as the underdogs.

Tune in next week to see Tammy concerned about her brother trying to control everything, and see Kris/Amanda lose their money and passports. If you remember Toni/Dallas, you know they’d be in some danger. As of now, I’m still rooting for Tammy/Victor, and have Christie/Jodi as a prediction for the next teams to go.

Recap: Termites, ready or not, here come the Survivors.
So, in the very beginning of the episode, Sandy talks about how relieved she is for staying in the game. Then, the next day, the Jalapao tribe mates get together, and while discussing how hungry they are, they result to eating termites. Meanwhile, at Timbira, Sierra tells Brendan that she knows about a hidden immunity idol at camp. So, Brendan and Sierra go and dig a huge whole until they are caught by Debra. They’re excuse: “We’re making a bon fire, for later!”. Then, Candace and Coach disagree with the way the food should be cooked. Candace admits she can’t stand Coach. Coach says he deserves to act this way because he’s a coach, and Candace is “just that way due to nature”. Back at Jalapao, Taj reveals she’s married to a professional football player, and J.T., says that’s enough of a reason to vote her off.

So, next is the immunity/reward challenge, where the survivors are playing for immunity and fishing gear. Also, Jeff Probst reveals that exile island is back with a brand new (revamped) twist! In the challenge, the survivors had to shoot a ball into a net while trying not to lose the ball getting tackled. The first tribe to three points would win. The challenge begins, and I believe, Candace scores for Timbira, and Timbira scores the second point by someone else. This put Jalapao behind. However, Jalapao caught up, and made a comeback, winning the challenge as they did score a third point. It was Brendan, then Taj who were exiled.

Back at Jalapao, the tribe mates all enjoy their new fishing gear. Sandy is once again relieved she’s not the next to go. Then, we see Stephen and J.T. who are bonding despite J.T. is a southern Alabama country boy and Stephen is the city kid. Meanwhile, at Exile Island, Taj and Brendan are together and there’s two urns: one with the clue and one without the clue. Brendan has the one with the clue, and he decided to share it with Taj, who ends up figuring out that there’s two idols, both a camp. Taj and Brendan agree to bond, and agree to reunite at Exile near in the future. Meanwhile, Candace talks to certain tribe mates about Coach not being too great of a tribe member, saying he wasn’t very active in the challenge. This is when Debra blabs her mouth and tells Coach. Coach immediately makes Candace a target.

The next day, Brendan returns to camp and lies to everyone, telling them Taj had the clue and didn’t help him. That’s when people begin targeting Coach and Candace for being the “cancer” of the tribe. Then, Sierra is being targeted for being the weak link all over again. At Tribal Council, it was Candace, my winner pick, who was voted off with seven votes. Only 14 remain, who will go next?

Who was the dumber players of the night?
Coach-Why should I call him coach? Survivor has many useless names that mean absolutely nothing to how the person really is (Dreamz, Boo, Sugar). He’s arrogant, and it’s the type of arrogance that means you’re just waiting for get a bad burning. It’s clear he’s trying to be the leader, and not a very good one, I must say.
Debra-Or should I say “Assistant Coach“? She seems like she’s riding Coach’s coattails, and that will lead her into deep danger if Coach is to be booted. I don’t see her being much help in the game at all either.

What I hope to see is Sierra, Erinn, Jerry, and Tyson take over and boot Coach. Do you think it’s possible? Candace was a very disappointing boot, and I don’t like to be disappointed this freaking early. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to pick a new favourite, and right now, I guess it’ll be J.T. I really think he’s going to last, and he’s getting a positive edit too, so, that’s a plus. Besides Benjamin/Coach and Debra, I really don’t think I have a problem with anyone.

Top 5, number in parenthesis = top 5 list occurrence
1. J.T. (2) – Emerged as a leader, and maybe a nice guy
2. Tyson (2) – Still looks like a nice person, I just hope he makes the right choices.
3. Erinn (1) – She’s calm, cool, and seems OK
4. Spencer (2) – Still want him to make It far.
5. Candace (2) – Will be a great loss to the game.

Here are the you tube videos I found, sort of as request in a comment. There, now anyone who missed the first episode or can’t watch Survivor USA in their home country can officially see it here. Since I blog after the sow, it won’t be time for the videos to be up then, thus the recap-opinions blog will not have the video links, but the video links will soon follow. Videos are in total English, and I hope this helps foreigners who come to watch it.

The Recap: Jumps, Cheese, bad train bookings and a very slow runner.
OK, so the teams start in California, and race to Switzerland!!!! Before they arrive, they must get on one of two flights, then a train that takes them to the Church of St. Antonio. The lead teams arrive first, which include Luke/Margie, Tammy/Victor, Mark/Michael, and Jodi/Christie, who ended up meeting with a local who knew where to go. Preston/Jennifer ended up missing the train, and became the team first to drop into last place. Then, the other team all arrive for the departure time. Linda/Steve fell behind, and Steve yelled at Linda for her slow speed.

Then, the next day, everyone starts at their designated time. Cara/Jaime & Jodi/Christie struggle to grab a taxi, and fall behind the teams who depart after them. Finally, the lead teams arrive to a dam, where the next clue is the first roadblock. In this roadblock, teams must have one member bungee jump. Victor was the first one up. Jodi was the one who felt more frightened by the jump.

So, as soon as all teams make it, they are all instructed to take another train to another town, Interlaken. In Interlaken, teams must take two carriers up a slippery and steep hill and come back down with 200 pounds of cheese. Luke/Margie, Mel/Mike, Tammy/Victor, and Mark/Michael are the lead teams. Luke/Margie finish the task first, and move along, with the same four teams following. Meanwhile, Jodi/Christie take the first train they see, but Brad/Victoria and others were smarter, taking a later train that turned out to arrive first.

So, a group of teams all end up doing the task together. Linda struggles up even get up the hill, but miraculously had a good strategy, and gave them sixth, with only Amanda/Kris ahead, but only for a few moments.

The teams were to find a yodeling trio standing on the mat at the pit stop with Phil. It was a footrace between Margie/Luke, Tammy/Victor, and Mark/Michael for first. Luke/Margie arrived, winning first, and a trip to Mexico. Luke explains to Phil he wants to prove that deaf people can do the same things others can do. Tammy/Victor take second, and Mark/Michael take third. Mel/Mike surprisingly earn fourth.

Meanwhile, back at the cheese hill, Preston and Jennifer are there, struggling the most and getting frustrated. Jodie/Christie finally arrive, and find themselves in last, but with many chances to catch up. By this time, Amanda/Kris are given fifth, and Linda/Steve are struggling to find the yodelers. Finally, Brad/Victoria, Cara/Jaime, and Kisha/Jen (LaKisha/Jennifer) all pass Linda/Steve, and take sixth, seventh, and eighth, leaving ninth to Steve/Linda.

So, Preston and Jennifer struggled with the cheese task, and Jodie and Christie’s previous mistake finds them in a footrace for survival. Christie and Jodi passed Jennifer/Preston, and earned tenth place. Preston and Jenifer were last to arrive, and were eliminated.

Overall analysis of predictions, surprises, Linda/Steve, and can you say cheese?.
This episode of The Amazing Race was very good, and it reminded me of the Cortina, Italy leg from TAR4 for some reason. There were some obvious predictions, like Tammy/Victor, Amanda/Kris, and Mark/Michael running a solid leg. I was surprised that Mel/Mike and Luke/Margie did so well and Preston/Jennifer falling behind. It’s not every season we see a young dating couple get eliminated first.

Switzerland was a nice place, a country I’d visit myself. It really seems like Margie/Luke stole the show, and I don’t see why not, they make for an interesting plot. Linda/Steve are probably just there so half of the viewers have someone to put on the top of their list for who will be the next to go. Personally, I’d like to see them go through the same stuff Dan/Andrew went through last season. Steve needs to stop being so negative about Linda being so slow, it’s pretty obvious they’re both not adventurous and competitive.

OK, the cheese and hill task has got to be one of my favourite tasks in a while, and it was enjoyable throughout the whole time watching it. I loved it when teams were struggling with carrying a massive amounts of cheese and seeing the strategies they used to come up in order to get them down. Anyways, I’ll just finish off with saying that I really hope Linda/Steve just go back to Hick town, as they’re just going to make each other miserable, which will make us viewers miserable too. I’m still rioting for Tammy/Victor, and now add Margie/Luke, and Mark/Michael to my list as backups.

Tune in next week to see Linda screw up by getting lost, and see Luke/Margie get creamed. As always, I look forward to it. Please comment, or email me at mapleleaf_melee@hotmail.com. I would LOVE to receive an email and would love to hear from you.

TAR14: The Cast
This cast of TAR14, overall looks fantastic, deferentially different from TAR13. The cast seem more real, and their relationships seem to be more real too. My personal favourite is Tammy/Victor, they seem like the adult, smart, and outgoing regular sibling couple. I’m pretty good at getting my favourite to win TAR, considering I’ve had six of my favourites win (Flo/Zach <3, Chip/Kim, Freddy/Kendra, Uchenna/Joyce, Tyler/James, Rachel/TK) I’d have to say I also like Cara/Jamie, and maybe Jennifer/Preston.

Amanda & Kris – Dating: This to me sounds like just another typical young couple TAR always has. I really don’t see anything special about them now, but I hope they surprise me. I’m about half way sure they’ll be one of the bickering couples of this season.

Brad & Victoria – Married: Aww, I kind of hope they’ll last and be the next example of Ken/Tina. I’ve always wondered if a middle aged couple would actually win TAR, but we’ve got some as far as second, let’s see a change!

Cara & Jaime – Former NFL Cheerleaders: I hope they’re not like the last cheerleader team we got (Jaime/Kelly, TAR10). Personally, I believe they’ll be a mid season boot. They seem like the flirty type, and will probably use charm as their key to success in TAR.

Christie & Jodi – Flight Attendants: Ehh, I kind of don’t think they’ll last. Being flight attendants they may know a few tricks to getting faster flights, though. Honestly, I could see them following teams, and if they go far, they’ll be lucky, but not as lucky as Dan/Andrew of last season.

Jennifer & Preston – Dating: Like I said, I really think I’d like them. They do seem like just another young dating couple TAR has, and I Hope they stand out. I could see them going far, and racing a very solid race.

LaKisha & Jennifer – Sisters: I really do like this team, and I hope their athletic ability makes them competitive and solid racers. I could see them getting a little feisty with each other, but it’ll be entertaining to watch.

Linda & Steve – Married: Meh, I kind of don’t feel good vibes with them. I think they’ll be nice people and all, but I kind of think they’ll be out in the dark against more competitive teams. Who knows, maybe they’ll be like David/Mary of TAR10, just not too much like them, for sure.

Margie & Luke – Mother/Son: TAR has never had a death contestant before, however, not to be rude, but how many foreigners know American sign language? Margie better learn to be a good communicator to these foreigners. However, they do look like they have a very special relationship, and they’ll win over the viewers’ hearts.

Mark & Michael – Brothers/Stuntmen: I can really see these guys have the entertaining comical team of the season. Being stuntmen, it’ll be interesting what detour choices and crazy stuff they opt for. I can see them being a top team for the final three, and wouldn’t be surprised if they won.

Mel & Mike – Father/Son: I am going to make them my prediction for the team who bites the dust tonight. I really feel they don’t have the competitiveness and strength for a successful run on the race. I don’t even think they’ll surprise me one bit. I would like them too, but meh, I’m not counting on it.

Tammy & Victor – Siblings/Lawyers: I actually see them as the sibling version of Becky/Yul from Survivor. They just seem like they’ve got the brains for this race, and yes, maybe it’s due to their Harvard Law degrees. I also see them not paying mind to how other teams do, and just worry about themselves. That’s what I’d do.

Predictions:
Final Three Predictions: Tammy/Victor, Mark/Michael, LaKisha/Jennifer
Winner Prediction: Tammy/Victor
First to Go Prediction: Mel/Mike

The Recap of Episode One

So, during the episode of Survivor: Tocantins, it was literally first impressions mean everything. Sierra of Timbira, and Sandy of Jalapao were voted as the weakest. They didn’t make a four hour journey across the highlands in 110 degree weather, and were instead given a free ride to camp via helicopter. So, the other fourteen survivors all trek through the highlands. During the trek, Coach (Benjamin) immediately tells Brendan his strategy of booting the weakest. I honestly though he’d wait until they actually get to camp or merge before that strategy is enacted. Then, the two outcasts are given tree-mail. In tree mail, they are given an option: Impress your tribe mates, and build a shelter, or search for an idol. Sandy chose the idol, and Sierra chose the shelter. Sierra impressed her tribe, except for Coach, who immediately states she’s the weakest, and she’s his target. Sandy wanders off alone, and someone calls her antisocial. Meanwhile, Tyson is talking about being a Utah Mormon, and in the very next minute, he’s naked. A note to all Un-American: Nudity is blurred with a CBS blur machine there in the states. Then, the first Immunity challenge begins. Sandy led her team to a lead, but Erinn and some other guy led their team to a bigger comeback, and Timbira wins. Back an Jalapao, Carolina is yapping about something, which got everyone especially Taj calling her bossy. So, Carolina and Sandy both become bedmates to the chopping block. So, Tribal Council lurks, and Sandy is vulnerable, and it appears she hasn’t found any idol. However, the irony is, Carolina got seven votes, becoming the first booted from Tocantins.

Overall Opinions:
Well, that was not much of a twist, really, except it may jeopardize two people for a long time. Honestly, if I were voted the weakest tribe mate, I’d attempt to build a shelter, then come to the idol after the first night, if CBS left that obvious option open. I knew Sandy would be the weak one, and am not surprised about Sierra. I honestly thought that Sandy was digging her own grave each second she was on my television screen. Coach kind of made me mad, revealing his “game-changing” strategy, which I honestly think is not going to work, but still can be interesting. I was hoping that Sandy would find the idol, just to see the game change. The immunity challenge was pretty undeserving for a first challenge, considering we’ve already seen sand piles, stairs puzzles, and line mazes before. I kind of didn’t care who won the immunity challenge. I wish Candace was there, I hope she doesn’t turn boring or invisible. Then, I figured once they were talking about Carolina, it’d be her. I was right about my prediction of Carolina being an early boot, but I figured she’d be duller, though. The Jalapao tribe recognized Sandy for being strong, so we’ll see if they made the right decision. I really think it was not much of an impact. Currently, I have no clue who will my favourite will be. I kind of like Tyson, he reminds me of Season One’s Greg Buis.

Top Five Survivors:
1. Candace (maybe not time to shine yet, but I can feel it)
2. Tyson (could develop into a colourful character)
3. J.T. (I predict he’ll last)
4. Spencer (For the rep of young people)
5. Sierra (Doing the better job of being the redemption kid, and could play the social game)

Brief Bio about myself:
Hello, I am Dan Carneal, a new blogger for WOBB, and as honored I am to be here, I’m glad to be around here. So, I’ve been watching Survivor and it’s first season since age eight, and Big Brother U.S. since age season two. I also watch The Amazing Race, and have followed up with that since season 4. I saw seasons 1-3 on GSN years back. Other than Reality Television, I enjoy writing, music, and the internet.

Survivor: Tocantins: The Cast and The twist
I am really hoping that Spencer goes far, simply because I want them to continue to call for people aged 18-20 for future seasons. Anyways, this season features sixteen players, my favorite number for a Survivor cast. Unprecedented cast members include a multi-millionaire, a 19 year old, someone who’s all about the strongest surviving, and more interesting characters. Go easy on me, as this is my very first blog here, and I’m not totally the best as pre-show predictions.

I really believe this “one from each tribe is left behind” doesn’t mean two will leave on the first day. The purpose of Survivor is to be without getting outwitted and outplayed, not out screwed. Why would they take two people off of the show on Day one when there’s sixteen players? Honestly, I see Exile Island in the future.

Benjamin Wade – He’s the first survivor I’ve ever seen who wants the top four to be the four strongest. I hope he’s not sexist and recognizes women’s strength. If this strategy worked, then this season will be predictable at first, then really completive at the end.

Brendan Synnott – A multi-millionaire for Survivor is something I don’t mind. However, I personally believe he’ll pull a Gary on us and keep it as a secret. By the merge, he may tell a close ally or two, as long as he’s careful.

Candace Smith – Candace, I have high hopes for, and is a potential favorite of mine. Why? I don’t know. I could see her as being one of the stronger females and believe she’s smart.

Carolina Eastwood – Aw, I do not discriminate on people who fit a “mactor” stereotype, but she looks like she’ll be an early boot. To me, she reminds me of Cecelia/Paloma. I can see myself liking her, and wish her all the best, though.

Debra Beebee – I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t survive. She seems like the type that could be nothing special to the show. If I remember correctly, she actually told people she went to rehab instead of telling them about being on Survivor? Funny, but I’d never do that.

Erinn Lobdell – She looks boring for some reason, I don’t know why. Not much else I have to say.

Jerry Sims – I could see him as a star of this season. He seems strong, and I think him being a laid-back character would work for him.

Joe Dowdel – I could see him winning, without flying under the radar, and being a decent player, but he kind of reminds me of BB8 Zach.

James “JT” Thomas – I could see him being a remember able character, simply because reading about him. However, he seems arrogant, and I could see that as a weakness?

Sandy Burgin – She seems like she won’t be able to fit in with the younger Survivors at all. I wouldn’t be surprised if she became the next Gillian, or Patricia.

Sierra Reed – I doubt she knows one a fact about Survival, and probably has a lot to learn, in such a short mater of time. That’s her weakness, and deferentially the mactor I won’t see in the merge. She actually reminds me of Morgan.

Spencer Duhn – Like I said, I want him to go far, simply he’s probably representing people 18-20. He’s probably the biggest fan out of the bunch, and that’s always a plus. For his age, he actually seems mature and independent.

Stephan Fishbach – Honestly, I forgot he was even in the cast,, so I really don’t know what to say. I believe he’ll fly under the radar, but coming from Yale, he may just get out from under the radar.

Sydney Wheeler – I can personally see her as an independent person. She’ll probably be the type who watches her back, and will vow to trust no one.

Tamara “Taj” Johnson-George – Honestly, I can see her as a potential early boot. She just doesn’t seem she’ll watch her back. I can see her as the type to cause conflict. I really hope she proved me wrong and can stay.

Tyson Apostol – I really don’t know what to say, however, in his bio, saying people describe him as a jerk, kind of is not a good thing. In Survivor, edit can make him life of the party, so we’ll see.

Predictions:
Spoiler free, Final Four predictions: Jerry, Spencer, Candace, Benjamin
