Jermin- Seems super lax and down the middle. I do see him being a contender or someone who will either hit or miss the first weeks of the game.
Austin: AH! Austin haha having played with you before and taking you out.. I really think you will have potential here in XTC. This game is something you are born to play, I really hope this will bring you different results than Legacy
Hannah: Being new and knowing the roles of what she wants to play is something I can behind however I hope she is ready to adapt to the twists and changes this game will bring. I love NEWBIES!
Jeff: I think your experience will help you go far. You are a Goliath but I am always gonna root for the Davids, I seriously hope you prove me wrong
Leanna: Either she is gonna be a late merge boot or early pre-merge. I do think she has super potential to go far if she gels with a group but maybe as an individual, can she adapt to that. I really will be rooting for the underdogs which she might be
Sam: 13 years of retirement?! Holy moly I really hope you will make it far but theses games have definitely changed and adapted since 2003. It is like he is Ruppert coming in to play a new season.. It will be exciting for sure. Potential for him to be super clueless and definitely able to play a "rookie" card

Alright, I’m finally catching up on these so here are my thoughts on our contenders thus far:
Robbie—this video?? Everything to me. As a regular OTP player, I stan my fellow wild ones. I think Robbie is going to be a social contender for sure. I like him, but my initial instinct is merge boot because he gets himself in too deep in his own lies/being too gamey, or he gets pegged for it even earlier and goes premerge. Do I want this to happen?? Absolutely not! I hope I am wrong!!
Gleason—ok just kidding THIS video is everything to me. I love him. A little obsessed. I can see myself becoming a Gleason stangirl this season for sure. Compared to Robbie his video seems a little less personal? He didn’t come off as jovial/lovable?? I get a villain king vibe from him. I think he’s going far.
Maddie—what a little cutie bean!!!!!! Oh I like her so much!!! She feels like the type of player that you will instantly want to trust. I can see her doing well.
Jermin—he looks fun! I didn’t get any huge vibes from his video, so I’m curious to see how he’ll fit into the season.
Looking at how these people would potentially interact, I feel a Maddie/Robbie alliance. That’s it. That’s all I got so far.

Second half of the humans...
Austin—Despite what the video says, he is not a lot of fun!! I’m sure he’s a nice person in real life, and we did (briefly) bond over working with kids in our first conversation in All Out…. But the dude just can’t help himself. He’s chaos embodied, and I think his reputation in this game is going to precede him. A calm game is not happening here. He’ll go out early because he’s easy to peg as an untrustable player.
Hannah—no cap, Hannah is winning this game. This is it. She is one of the best players I’ve ever seen. She’s energetic while not being over the top. She’s sweet and innocent while still being badass. She’s friendly, but you’d never expect her to turn on you or stab you in the back. Hannah is THAT player. I’ve played 2 of those 3 minis she’s won with her, and she knocked me out of both. The hype around her is worth it. Hannah’s winning, and if she doesn’t, she’s going to be such a locked in fan fave that we’ll see her in season 12 for all stars.
Jeff—he seems like a bro- definitely someone I could see myself aligning with in a game. If he’s experienced in a world of newbies, I can see him going far tbh. Whether it’s because they use him as a shield or because he just knows how to work these games better…. I think he’s around for a while.
Leanna—we run in the same circles, and everyone always has great things to say about her. She’s a self proclaimed Parvati, but with this cast so far, I don’t see that helping her much. I’m excited to see her social game play out.
Sam— I like him from this video. Being a manager at an escape room place is definitely going to put him on people’s radars as a comp beast early, I feel like. I would instantly be drawn to him as someone to get on the right side of because he’s the kind of dude that’s going to find an idol without a clue. I hope that he’s able to shake any early target that he gets!!
Right now, winner pick is Hannah. If Hannah doesn't win, gimme a Gleason finish.

CAST REVEAL
Our next reveal describes himself as a hot mess express. If you've seen him play before, you know exactly why. We are so excited he applied again this year and can't wait to see what he brings to the cast.
Malfoy is playing!
Thoughts on this hot mess express?

CAST REVEAL
This player comes from the Northeastern crew. They've all been taking the ORG community by storm and Ben has been making the rounds. We think Ben really has what it takes to go far.
Give it up for Ben!

Fair warning, this is my first time being a viewer so I have no idea what I’m doing! Please don’t take these predictions seriously. Robbie/Wes -- love me a Midwest boy! And he def reminds me of Davie. I think he will get similar placement as Davie and maybe even play an idol correctly, but ain’t no one letting him get to the end. He will be voted best dressed hands down! Gleason – He’s so cool, but for some reason I am not seeing him get very far in this game. He might be a liiiiiittle over the top. Love his sense of adventure with the traveling. Who found this guy? Something tells me he is a friend of a former XTC player in DC. His confessionals will be fun to watch. I am LOVING Maddie. I think she is very well-spoken and so sweet!! She would be someone I’d love to work with and I’m sure everyone would feel the same. She almost gives me a Jenn From vibe and that’s a GREAT thing. She is the one I WANT to win so far, but I don’t know if anyone will let her get past touchy subjects. She will get 6th maybe!? Jermin has a shy smile and seems so genuine and innocent in some parts of his short video, so I predict he will do a great job of hiding his sneakiness and will give us some insightful confessionals. Looking forward to watching him and hearing about the game from his perspective. He would be the type to find an idol and tell no one. Austin will keep everyone on their toes I’m sure and maybe waste some people’s time acting all crazy-like. Reminds me of Tyson and I’m positive he will be entertaining. His passion for working with kids can definitely help him gain a great and trusting ally if he opens up about it. Good potential and probably won’t be afraid to make some big moves and hurt some feelings. I predict he will be either pre merge or first merge boot if he can keep a handle on himself. I’m here for Hannah! I think she will be a FORCE in this game. I see her leading her tribe to multiple wins and making a lot of the big decisions. She seems like she will be able to adapt to any twist thrown her way if she won three minis. I see her in the end game. Jeff – seems like he is super easy to get along with and very experienced with ORGs! I’m excited to watch him play. He knows what he’s doing and I see him taking a newbie under his wing. Leanna is my winner pick! I played a mini with her and think her personality is pretty low key and will get past a lot of votes without people noticing how strategic and tuned in she is! She is a sweet girl and very smart! Sam – I don’t think it was a good idea to compare yourself to Amber on WaW! I see him being first boot, unfortunately. Hope he’s ready for XTC! It would be fun to watch him learn and play since I didn’t even know these existed back when he used to play LOL At least Malfoy is self-aware! Can’t wait to watch this hot mess express stir things up in his tribe. I see his tribe going to many tribal councils because of him (J’Tia). Entertain us with some sabotage! Charlene – I just kept hearing a dog crying in the background , but I think this newbie will have some struggles being in a different time zone. She says she learns quickly and is adaptable so I hope that helps her get her feet on the ground. I am so looking forward to watching Ben play! He didn’t let us know anything about how he plans to play, but I see him being very social and strategic. He will do well and I hope we will all be able to see more in his confessionals!

Ok so here is my full review thus far of the players:
Robbie: LOVE his energy! He seems like he is gonna be a very social player which could work to his advantage or hinder him. I think he will have enough social ability to get out of sticky situations. 10/10 for intro video!
Gleason – Another OTT personality which could be a good or bad thing! I don’t really know how I feel about Gleason yet, he might be too much and that will get him in trouble! Hopefully he can contain his personality till its the right time.
Maddie- Seems timid yet deadly! I am a fan of all women in orgs cause men usually dominate so im interested in seeing how she fairs. She seems very smart and able to read people so she might do good. I can see her being a contender!
Jermin- Eh, his energy is low in this video, but I know everyone isn’t that OTT type. He might be better once the game starts but rn i see an early boot. He might be too naive to the monster of XTC! Im really hoping im wrong tho!
Austin- Oh Austin! I watched him play Ascendance and he was A MESS! Lol such a chaos type of player and i love every minute of it. But im hoping he can contain that in this game. XTC is not a game you can create chaos and not pay the consequence for. One thing I do know about him is he is a fighter till the very end and we love that!
Hannah- She seems like another silent yet deadly type of player. I can see many people navigating towards her and really trusting her! Im here for Hannah and want to see her at least make merge!
Jeff – Im interested in seeing what he will do in this game, seeing as tho he has had friends play this series before he might think he knows how to navigate it very well. He has experience which is good so newbies might want to work with him off of that fact, but he better not underestimate them! Im hoping he places better than all his friends! Lol
Leanna- LOOOOVING Leanna! First off she is from MD so I STAN! Also she is writes music and is in musical theater...STAN! As far as game I can see her DOMINATING! She seems super likable and gives me a very Taylor Gaby vibe, and I mean...Taylor is a legend! Im hoping she does good cause I am absolutely loving her so far!
Sam – I honestly don’t know how Sam will fair being he is an old school player. From his video he seems super charismatic and knows the ins and outs of survivor but I just dont know if he will be able to hang with the new school style of play. Maybe he will surprise me and really be able to take charge in this game but right now I see an early boot.
Malfoy- When i hear Malfoy i think SLYTHERIN! Lol lets hope he is the snake im hoping he will be and cut bitches left and right. I see him being super entertaining and a hot ass mess lol im ready!
Charlene –THIS is my winners pick! I mean Natalie is her favorite survivor player and that says a lot right there. If she is anything like Nat she will be in the FTC. I can see her being underestimated and demolishing the game! I find people who play from overseas do very well so im hoping Charlene doesn’t let me down!
Ben- He seems so outgoing and i think that will help him in this game He has something that is very pure about him, but im hoping there is some savage in him cause in XTC ya gotta have it. Im rooting for him.
