**Warning: Spoiler for 16th since this was made after I watched the entire episode, so if you haven't watched, don't read this if you don't want to be spoiled.**
And also, I'm open to other opinions on the cast/predictions, so feel free to comment if you think I'm wrong, but please don't attack mine thanks.
Cast Rankings:
1. Zack- He is already getting a good edit, positioning himself in the middle of the tribe. I think he is going to go far and I think he has the potential to make finals. I don’t think he will win though.
2. Victoria- She’s smart, I think she has the potential to be very strategic. I think she can flip the game to give herself control if she lasts long enough. However, with the current Hukutana tribe dynamics, she unfortunately seems like a pre-merge boot.
3. Maria- My underdog pick to win. She’s athletic and I think could hold her own when it comes to strategy. She’s likeable, and I don’t think she would backstab many people. If she goes far it could come back to haunt some others.
4. Alex- He is probably the most physical competitor in the game, I see him doing well, especially if his tribe wins a lot of challenges. He reminds me of Chris L. from last season, but I get the feeling that he is going to get the boot because of a twist, likely ending up on the wrong side of numbers on a tribe swap.
5. Charlie- I really would have liked to see him stay longer. I think he could have been a good strategic player, but he didn’t bond with his team and he messed up the challenge.
6. Marissa- She also seems like an underdog, but I think has potential. We haven’t gotten much of an edit from her yet, but I’m looking forward to what is to come from her. I don’t know if she would be an easy target because she was the only one from Rafiki to lose her point in the first challenge, but she seems sociable enough that that fact won’t matter too much.
7. Matt- Not much of an edit, but I see potential. He reminds me of Kenny from Survivor: Gabon, and I very much think that he will play a similar style of game to Kenny. I think he could become one of the dominant strategic threats in the game, and I really hope him and Victoria merge. Whether at that point they would team up and be Crystal/Kenny, or face off against each other trying to control the power in the game, it would be an interesting dynamic to watch.
8. Sabrina- She seems a little loud, but not over the top. I don’t think that she will really be much of a threat to win. I think she is going to play a Centi style game (don’t get me wrong, I loved Centi and wanted her to win), but that typically isn’t a winning game in Survivor.
9. Eric- I think he might only be useful for challenges. It’s tough to tell at this point, but I think he may just follow a more strategic player until he can get himself into a position to make a big move, which will ultimately end up failing and resulting in his demise.
10. Terry- Also in a good position after the first episode, but he seems to be getting a villain edit, while Zack is getting the more likeable edit. I see him doing well, but I don’t think he is going to go far enough. He will burn enough bridges and make enough people mad, combined with being a strategic threat, to be a late merge boot.
11. Sierra- I don’t know how I feel about Sierra, especially taking on the leadership role. I want to see her do well, but I don’t think that she is going to make it very far. Especially after being swapped to the more dominant tribe, she is probably one of the weakest and will go as soon as her safety is up.
12. Foluke- The J’Tia edit is real. I think she is going to go about halfway through the game as a villain, and then in typical villain style, do something horrendously stupid that gets her voted out. She is loud and obnoxious, but I will admit, she brings good entertainment.
13. Holli- She is the most likeable of the three quidditch players, but I feel like that group is too cliquey. I don’t like their attitude because they seem like they are better than everyone else. I think I would like her if she was alone, but having that group of three off the bat makes me like her less.
14. Katie- Same thing as Holli. Also, I think Katie is the most expendable of the quidditch players and will probably be the first of the three voted out, unless people target Harry first.
15. Kanay- I really don’t have enough information to base an opinion on him. I don’t see him going very far and if he even had a confessional, it wasn’t very memorable because I don’t know anything he has said. He seems invisible to the season.
16. Harry- I do not like anything about Harry. He is cocky, arrogant, he isn’t even that good at challenges, he isn’t funny, he is loud and obnoxious, but isn’t even entertaining about it. He is ridiculously stupid, and isn’t even being subtle about the whole “core 3” alliance. He is very unlikeable and he also seems very douchey. I don’t like his attitude, and I understand pumping up your tribe, but it is too much and he doesn’t add anything pleasant to the table.

Quit acting like you're the biggest fan here. titan24maniac KNOWS i'm a bigger fan than you.
#2 Spoilers say that HOLI WINS.
OOPS. Jk but she's the most active on the facebook page, she'll be the last targeted if they turn against the Quiddich or w.e alliance and she's a big fan and she knows the game well.
joelw55 her social game is FLAWLESS. She clapped for everyone that introduced themselves, she's shown that he's competitive and a TEAM player, and she makes everyone laugh besides bitter Charlie who's out pre-jury HA!
12. Foluke- The J’Tia edit is real. I think she is going to go about halfway through the game as a villain, and then in typical villain style, do something horrendously stupid that gets her voted out. She is loud and obnoxious, but I will admit, she brings good entertainment.
