Happy holidays, Vartevar! It's all speculation so this is essentially pulling names out of the sky BUT it's fun to guess. Good luck! Cheers dude. I'm just playing around and teasing. I've been really out of the picture for a long time so I'm an amateur somewhat

Nax, had you not pulled your application there was like an 85% chance you making this game, assface. Figured you (and iSurv1vor) deserved the respect of full commitment, or I would def have stayed in. Certainly better now than at F8, right? And I don't have nearly enough cheek-puff to be called assface.

With Jamie now confirmed, there are now only two available spots left for the females. With that in mind I'm going to try and break down each of the remaining candidates and predict who is going to be on the Favorites team. Ginny (Peru & Arabia) I can't get a true read on Ginny, from what I can tell by her Peru days she was either enabling conflict or proclaiming those around her to be deceitful behind her back... but if she was involved in said deceit would she be less inclined to be so negative about it? Her final vote in Peru was not for one to award Kirin's game, but prevent Erik from getting more votes as Alyssa would be a juror as well (much to the chagrin of Ginny) which begs the question why not vote for Erik if he was in fact the better player in your eyes regardless of what another juror believed? Her Arabia game was pretty much on the same level, she has an apparent lack of switching off her emotions and letting herself get caught in the moment. This is ultimately her downfall in iSurv1vor, but that doesn't necessarily make her a bad player more a bad judge of character. Ginny also voted again for the inevitable runner-up, Robbie. If Alex's theory of previous past connections being a factor in being chosen then I can't picture Ginny as a Favorite as that connection could be very strong. KJ (Cambodia & AS1) I'm not too overly familiar with KJ within the series, but what most people know her for is the incredible dedication that's put in whatever game she plays. KJ played Cambodia and was the oldest female and managed to make it to the final three, no thanks in part to an unfathomable turn of events that led to a double quit and the return of Kenyon, KJ would have made the final two and had a shot to win. It's evident enough that her All-Stars run was short, the pre-merge is filled with such great players who at the time were deemed too threatening to keep around longer. The game has changed a lot since then and as such it's not such a crux to be a physical competitor or be too well liked within the group, it wouldn't surprise me if she made the list - KJ could be the opposite that Debbie on the Fans side needs. Brittany (Peru, FvF1 & Faroe Islands) Out of everybody from the females, Brittany has the most evolved game over three seasons. Peru was a shitstorm of skype and heavy influence of the social game which is her forte, the problem is that Brittany never handled the strategical element despite the best of intentions. She has made poor judgement calls and when it comes down to your elimination, the only person you can truly blame is yourself. Her first two seasons saw the evolution of her social game, Faroe Islands fleshed out her strategical ability and perfected social skills, she understood who the big players were and kept her experience as leverage into the post-merge. But her biggest mistake was taking too many likable people to the end and considering that the Kalsoy tribe who were effectively treat like dirt banded together to vote Drew to win as the lesser of three evils is enough to confirm that had she handled her jury management better she would join Lorii in the 3peat winners club. All in all, despite an unlikely 4th timer coming back for another shot, she has an incomplete story. Sheri (Faroe Islands) This was an audition straight out of left field. Lest we forget that Kalsoy at the time were one of the worst tribes in iS history until Negara turned up, got drunk and pissed all over the room. Sheri was the older woman who couldn't see past Ryan playing the game despite him dating Sandy - a huge chunk of her existence in this series is based on her calling accusations of fixing and rigging - to me, regardless of the "that was then this is now" stuff, Sheri was hugely disliked by the alumni - outside of iSurv1vor, I know she's a nice girl but there's that niggling feeling in the back of my head which worries me if she ends up wearing a Favorites buff.

So Sherri or Ginny would get the "Corrinne" spot, some random WTF "why is she sitting here with us?" spot. I am loving these mini bios! and I am doing my research as we speak (for future endeavors that I cannot talk about right now) I WOULD DEAD ASS START A BRITTANY FAN CLUB THREAD IF SHE IS CAST. Which BTW , more people should be doing this. I don't want to feel like the only creeper here.

Great descriptions Tucks! Since Dylan is a glory spot holder, and he was revealed tonight would that put Britti out of the running, or is she not being counted as a GS holder?
Also, that eliminates a bunch of people right?
MATT, I will start fanclubs once the full cast is revealed. Mostly cause I don't want what I write/who is rooting for who to influence the possible players.

The GS spot is a 5th placer, regardless of whatever season you play. This eliminates Sagar, Jared, LaFrance, Tom and Brit from the running. This leaves Mike, Sheri, Billy, Drew, Jacob, Vartevar, Kieran, Ginny, KJ, Cody C., Hooker, Robbie and Taylorstreet. Half of these guys will be Favorites so I'll need to look a little deeper to try and figure out who.
BTW it's interesting to note that all the Favorites are solo representatives of their season so far. I can see where Sandy and Kirin are going with the casting and not having a Peru overload like FvF1. This would lead me to believe that Mike, KJ and Cody are casted solely based on their original seasons. Mike is the only Bermuda rep now Klein was cut, Cody is from Greek Isles and has the arc of his win in All-Stars being tainted thanks to Andi and KJ as the "other" Cambodia rep alongside Taylorstreet who has had three bites of the apple.
We will see soon enough. I'll try and get a thought process on the current Fans tribe as well near the end of casting.

I think an Old-School vs New-School theme would be pretty interesting for an All-Star game

And if you guess correctly and are in the cast, you'll start the game with +1 yen. Go you.
