Survivor Heroes & Villains Announced
The 20th Season of Survivor has announced it’s cast. Yes, we still have a little over one month to go before it actually begins, but We have known that these guys as Heroes and Villains months ago, when this season was filming. I will reveal the cast in alphabetic order, revealing their tribe, and say a few words about their previous gameplay. Here we go, the Heroes and the Villains of Survivor.
AMANDA – Hero: Amanda started off in Survivor 15 China, and was invited back to play in Survivor 16: FVF. Amanda made it to the day 39 finals both times. Will she do this again? She was also the first female to claim a Hidden Immunity Idol, in which she played it the day she found it. I believe she was the first to do that as well. In Survivor China, her biggest move was blindsiding James, a guy who was in possession of two hidden immunity idols he didn’t play. Amanda’s former players include Cirie, James, Parvati, and Courtney.
CANDICE – Hero: Candice was famous for being the Cook Islands mutineer, along with Jonathan. I’m curious to know if Candice’s tribal/alliance loyalty will be a question for the other Survivors. Candice had a lot of potential to win Cook Islands, in the event Jonathan never flipped alliances to boot Nate, then Candice. Candace’s former allies were (ironically) four of the five Caucasion Survivors in that season. Her ties to former players include one person, Parvati.
CIRIE – Hero: Cirie, is my all time favorite Survivor player, and was my favorite in both Panama & Micrnesia. This still doesn’t mean she’ll be my favorite this time. Cirie was not exactly remembered for her dominating in competitons, but was rarely ever a target for beign weak, and holds two strong placings, making final four then final three. Cirie has twice gone from swing vote to almost controlling the game. Cirie has ties with Danielle, Amanda, Parvati, James, which is four players.
COACH – Villain: It’s interesting to see Coach return, mainly because I want to see if he tries a different stragegy, or simply becomes an insane BSer like he was in Tocantins. My guess is that he’ll unfortunately bring a combo of the two possibilities out. He has ties to JT and Tyson, two players, but It will be up to whatever the other nineteen think of him that’s probably going to end up determining his fate, since he’s so note worthy for his game play and behavior.
COLBY – Hero: Colby, alongwith Jerri, is the oldest player. When I mean “oldest player” I mean him and Jerri played this game, before anyone else did. It’s going to be interesting to square off against Jerri, because Colby took Jerri out in Outback, and Jerri took Colby out in All-Stars. Colby is an extreme dominator in challenges, along with lots of others here. He has ties with 1 player, from All Stars and Outback, Jerri, and was in the same season as Rupert, and Rob. However, in All Stars, he was booted before a merge, so he technically didn’t play the game with Rob or Rupert.
COURTNEY – Villains: Courtney was from Survivor: China, who placed second. Her previous ties are with fellow day 29 loser, Amanda. Courtney was weak in most challenges, but was on a strong tribe, but ironically, did win immunity one time. What I truely find awkward is that in her bio, she ays all the “strong” players are her least players, as they’re all smug. So, in the event they actually do boot the strongest players first, she’s on board with that plan. Oh, and Courtney is way hotter now than she was in China.
DANIELLE – Villains: Danielle is from Panama, and placed second. She has ties to one player, Cirie. In Panama, she turned on people like Courtney, Cirie, Terry, and Shane so she could get furthur in the game. This is actuallywhat got her, like two votes in the final two. That’s why she’s here, as a villain. She has won immunity, and actually won the final immunity in which she beat out the immunity domintor Terry, whom as a player, she says she least respects.
JAMES – Heroes: James is from China & Micronesia, where he got blindsides with two idols and got medical evacuated. James is usually good in challenges, but doesn’t end up winning immunity individually. He has ties to players llike Cirie, Amanda, Parvati, and Courtney, that’s four players. S, it seems like the FVF players have ties with three of their own, and one from their debut season so far.
JERRI – Villains: Jerri was the first contoversial female player, who was extremely hated. She was booed at the ruenion for sayng delusional, sore-losar stuff about Survivor, making fans upset as she cried about it on America’s Tribal Council. I reallyhope that Colby is the one who takes Jerri out. I totally didn’t ccare at first, ntil I saw she “disrespects” the game play of the Amazing Shii Ann, who was my favorite before Cirie. So, I hope Colby gets Jerri out, in the event the Heroes-Villains switch up. Since Jerri was booted before the merge, she didn’t get to play the game with Rob, but has played with Rupert and Colby, she has ties to two players.
JT – Heroes: JT won Tocantins, and in Season eight we saw the winners play, but none made the merge, so it will be very confusing to guess how winners will handle this All Star season. He has two former players as ties, Coach and Tyson, whom he both betrayed. JT is very good at competitions. As a matter of fact, the only concern I do have from JT is his winner title holding. That and I don’t think everyone will fall for his charm like they did in Tocantins.
PARVATI – Villain: Parvati played Cook Islands, and returned for FVF where she won. Parvati can be the homegirl, the pot-stiirring witch, and the flirt at the same time. She has ties to Candice, Cirie, Amanda, and James, all of which she was allies with at one point. Parvati is a winner, and she is decent in competitions.
RANDY – Villain: Randy is probably the meanest Survivor we have had on the show, he’s bitter, he’s angry, he’s abully. He, in my opinion makes Russell look like someone as nice as Tina, or Ethan. He probably agreed to do this show to see which Gabon Survivor he could bully, pick off. In that case, Sugar better watch out. He hated his tribe in Gabon, and hated the players who took over, we’ll see if he hates his own specie, the villains. Randy is good at challenges also.
ROB – Villain: Rob was the villain in All Stars, not to mention he’s particpated on TAR twice with his wife, former Survivor, Amber. The main reason I disliked him and Amber for a few years was because he took out Lex, Kathy, and Shii Ann, who were my All Star favorites, after lying to them. I know it’s a part of the game, but I was 21 when All Star happened. He is also a dominator in competitions, and has ties to Rupert, and while Jerri/Colby were in All Stars, but didn’t end up on a tribe with them.
RUPERT – Hero: Rupert was like the most popular Survivor ever, winning $1,000,000 at America’s Tribal Council recieving like 85% of the votes. I never understood the Rupert obsession, since it’s probably because he was a rival of Jonny Fairplay, who is our most hated Survivor. Rupert has ties to three previous players, Rob, Jerri and Sandra, and while in All Stars, he didn’t play with Colby.
RUSSELL – Villain: Russell is arrogant, and we all sawe how well the most arrogant player Richard Hatch got him, so we’ll see. He’s probably like so upset he lost, if at this time, he knew the results, or something. I wouldn’t expect to see him try som of his old tricks, such as being a firefighter, or a Katrina victim, or finding idols with no clues. He has no ties with none of these players, and these players are no aware of Russell even being on the planet. This is due to this season being filmed right after Survivor: Samoa.
SANDRA – Villain: Sandra was the winner of Survivor: Pearl Islands, and was our first Hispanic Survivor and winner. She has close ties to one person, Rupert, who was anallie to her. The thing about Sandra is that she is probably the poorest in challenges, and being a former winner, could also hurt her too. However, in the event they end up atrgeting stronger players, Sandra wouldn’t have much o worry about.
STEPHENIE – Hero: Stephenie was the last person on her Ulong tribe, and returned for the 11th season where she backstabbed a lot of the players, only to lose in final two. I believe she is very good at competitions, and is the one third-timer to not play either AS or FVF. She has ties to one person, Tom, from Palau and no ties from a Guatemala player.
SUGAR – Hero: Sugar was the pin-up girl, who was loathed by every single juror, as every single juror would’ve never wrote her named down in a million years. I think Randy will be the one who tries to get her out, real fast, if they swap/merge together. She isn’t that good in competitions,so I don’t even see how she’ll be valuable to keep around.
TOM – Hero: Tom was probably the most dominating competitor in challenges, winning 5/7 and including rewards/tribe. He won Survivor: Palau, as well. Those are two ways Tom could be voted off, if the tribe votes out their strongest threats or winning threats. He has ties to Styephenie from Palau, and that’s it.
TYSON – Villain: Tyson was kind of annoying in Tocantins, so I wonder if he’ll still be annoying, or different. I see him still being strong in competitions, and he has ties to Coach and JT. I don’t think he fits in a category ofr early target, because I have no clue who’s going to get target.
Those are the Villains and Heroes of this season. I’ll be blogging about the Survivor 10 year special and the Season in Februrary, when my one year of blogging for WoBB is official.
