10th: Jake - (This should come as no surprise, Jake is easily the cockiest person here, and considering the low number of players this season, I would obviously predict it'll be "Out for blood 2.0" right away. When that happens, I don't know how long Jake can last with his extremely cocky attitude, like buddy, you didn't even make jury last time, Kasyar much?).
9th: Jason - (Jason can't win this game, I'll say it now, he will get in with a solid alliance very likely and make it pretty deep, F4 & F5 zone... but his care free attitude and unawareness like last time will most likely make him end up being like Bailey from S1, Blindside).
8th: Nichole - (Yes, as the only winner Nichole has really only one feat. , but the fact that she did absolutely nothing strategic whatsoever while most of the strategic thinking came from Jacey and Alyssa, of whom was robbed in the F2, she once again will fall short and have to latch onto someone to drag her to the end once again, only problem is, everyone knows she's the only winner, take that into account with her being not strategic at all and you have someone that cannot possibly win, because she can't win comps, can't talk her way out of situations and has the winner target, she'll be one of the first boots).
7th: Rachael - (It was quite hard actually to figure out where to put Rachael on this list, because she could either be a flop once again like S1, or actually step up her game, I think Rachael has the Matt and her relationship target, so as long as she can lay low and let Matt take the boot, which she probably won't... then I don't see her lasting very long.)
6th: Zach - (The only reason I have him this high really is because he could go deep or be out early, there's no in between with him, I thought Zach was a decent character in his season, and I'd like to see him actually go pretty far, but considering his lack of common sense, I don't know how much that'll happen.)
5th: Bearnap - (This one can go either way, either Bailey or Bearnap will fall miserably pre-jury. The reason for this in my opinion is because Bearnap and Bailey have history with Bearnap betraying Bailey at F4 and then getting voted out by Alyssa at F3. Why Alyssa wasn't brought back, I have no idea. But Bearnap's gameplay in my opinion will be like Taylor and Rachael's in Heikos All-Stars, she'll get out pre-jury because people will find her too shady to deal with.)
4th: Bailey - (As literally the only person to compete in all 3 seasons, I'd predict Bailey has a target on his back coming into the game, Bailey also is actually fairly decent at challenges, so I would put anything past him there, I think he's ready to go deep in the game, and I actually think Bailey can get to the F4, the only problem is beyond, Bailey has a habit of making himself way too likable, and when he reaches a F5/F4 point, he'll need to comp out or he'll be seen as a threat to take out.)
3rd: Matt - (The thing I like with Matt is I predict he'll make jury, or just fall shy, Matt is look literally in my eyes, like a F6 boot for certain, He can be good at challenges, but he has some of the cocky attitude that Jake has, which is never a good thing to have, but if he can make it past Rachael's demise, he can go mildly deep, but he can't win as he will be perceived as a threat before the game starts.)
2nd: Jacey - (I love Jacey, she was the Original Strategist from S2, Hence why they needed an idol to take her out.. People give Alyssa a lot of credit when it was mainly Jacey that held them together for the 1st half of the merge. Jacey knows how to keep ties with people and actually seems like a very loyal person, Jacey will either go deep and or make finals and win.)
1st: Merijuna - (Yes Merijuna did place 11th Place in her original season, but that was because of the whole "BROS alliance" bullshit that always robs strategist like Merijuna, she's come back and I'm for certain she's the winner of the season. I think Merijuna embodies a lot of the qualities it takes to be a winner,like the fact she's one of the few in her casting tape to actually say she wants to make a solid alliance, also on that, many of these contestants has feats to go off of, which make them targets for each other. Merijuna doesn't, she'll slide under the radar easily and make it very deep, I predict either Winner or Winner.)
I love it! I'm gonna link to this in the other blog. Your analysis of the characters is great, it's extremely fascinating to me what you notice.
Also to address your question, I REALLY wanted Alyssa to play again but she was busy! Don't think she would have lasted long, every guy told me pre-game that they'd vote her out first. But when we did our group huddle before the season I said "You guys are exactly the cast I wanted - except for Alyssa, I wish she was here, but we'll move on."
