14th- Tico (TicoFernandez)
WHY RANKED HERE:
I’m excited to have Tico in this game because I think he can bring a lot to the table. However he has been hit or miss when it comes to success for someone that has played in a lot of group games. Tico will need to avoid drama, or at least getting caught too far up in it, if he wants to win.
POTENTIAL DOWNFALL:
Not putting enough effort in, causing too much drama
13th- Red (Redwing91)
WHY RANKED HERE:
Red seems to be successful in a lot of games he plays. but he usually is playing a lot at once. How much effort he puts into this game should directly correlate with how successful he is and he could very well win this game if he plays his cards right, but I see his chances as being slim.
POTENTIAL DOWNFALL:
Playing too many games at once
12th- Joel (JoelW55)
WHY RANKED HERE:
I have just played a game with Joel and he can be a great physical competitor, however I didn’t see much of a social game blossom. He could be a lock to get to th merge but may become a target at that point. Even if he gets to the end I’m not sure if he’ll be able to sway the jury if he hasn’t made a big move, which is something he says he has gotten critiqued on before.
POTENTIAL DOWNFALL:
Not making big moves, being too big a physical threat
11th- Aria (Sportygirl22)
WHY RANKED HERE:
Aria has the potential to be a good player, but not sure if there is enough consistency for me to believe that we will see it. If Aria can buckle down then I could foresee a run deep into the game, but I am waiting to see it before I can believe it.
POTENTIAL DOWNFALL:
Not playing hard enough
10th- June (Youndandrestless)
WHY RANKED HERE:
June’s biggest issue could be how much effort he puts into the social part of the game. With a game that keeps shifting after tribal council it may be too easy for June to fall behind if the social game is not on par. However, if he can create good bonds then I see him getting far in the game.
POTENTIAL DOWNFALL:
Not making enough allies
9th- Robin (RobinHood99)
WHY RANKED HERE:
I’ve played with Robin many times and I have found him to be a great ally. However he also tends to be a target and is sometimes blindsided by his loyalty to people. If Robin can get in with the right person/people then he can be the person to lead his group/duo to the end.
POTENTIAL DOWNFALL:
Trusting the wrong people, being seen as a target
8th- Robby (Robbyjak)
WHY RANKED HERE:
Robby could win this game, or he could be seen as too big of a target and taken out early. Robby could be super active, or he could only be partially invested. There are two sides to the coin and no matter which one is flipped there will be obstacles to overcome.. but with that said I wouldn’t doubt him overcoming them
POTENTIAL DOWNFALL:
Being seen as a target
7th- Will (Survivorfan37)
WHY RANKED HERE:
Being a host can be a two edged sword. I think Will has an advantage for knowing some players and how they play, and even the ability to work with people he’s met through games and not had to play against… but on the other side of the sword is that he may be seen as a threat for this reason. He stated in his application that he tends to play like a villain if he is in power and while that is sometimes good it can also prove to be a slippery slope.
POTENTIAL DOWNFALL:
Trying to make big moves and having them backfire
6th- Bolet (Bolet36)
WHY RANKED HERE:
Bolet is somewhat of an unknown. He has played in one of my games years ago and has seemed dedicated to get cast for this season. If that dedication can translate to his game play then I think he can get very far in this game before people realize he is someone to be reckoned with
POTENTIAL DOWNFALL:
Not having enough connections from the start
