Lamont: yes villain edit. Interested to see how he plays this time around and what these “big moves” are. Also, “Strategical” sent me.
Tatiana: seems sweet but she’s gonna need to SPEAK UP and make sure she makes some real connections to stick around in this game. Otherwise she could be an early boot.
Sergio: if fast paced games aren’t his jam this is gonna be tough for him. He seems like a super nice guy but I hope he’s not focused too much on finding people he can trust. Also fearing he could be an early boot.

Sergio: This amazing human bought a computer this year just to play ORGs! He has played minis only though and was early boot EACH TIME because he was too quiet. He is aware of his errors though and is determined to correct them.
I NEEEEED to see what kind of player Sergio can be. He is villainous deep down inside, but his introversion has stopped him from advancing in games.
I am rooting so hard for this underdog and if you need anither reason to love him, he just went through a Sundance Indie film level journey across America, driving a 60+-yr-old woman and her show dogs to Florida. She ditched him on the way back and now he's about to enter this ORG journey ❤️
He is the second Animal Crossing Survivor player revealed in this season of XTC after Becki from season 1. Sergio was on season 2. Becki's game is already published on a podcast that Sergio knows about, so he might be able to dig up some dirt on her jury stuff if he finds out she played 🙃

Lamont: Now, this is a character I want to invest in. I want to see a villain in this season and you seem like someone who could be really cunning and I am here for that. I think that you will play well in a returning season as you did not make the jury so your threat level will be far lower than some other returnees.
Tati: I just "played" with you but you were first boot and well... I am still playing it oop. But it really is just a shame because you seem super sweet. I would have loved to work with you and i can't be the only one who would want to so hopefully you have a much better go this time!
Sergio: I agree with you I think you will do better on a long game format. However, there is a lot of well-spoken players in this cast so you need to build up some confidence if you want to keep up with the others. Hoping you go places and not be forgotten.

Here are my thoughts on the Day 1 reveals! Nothing is more triggering than typing into a quick reply box on Proboards LOL.
Frances - Okay, I know she has a great rep in the org community and a lot of my org friends really like her. But my first impression of her is that she is an eager beaver and will be SOOOO into the game, which I think can be off-putting for potential allies. At least I am looking for people that are a little bit more chill or eager in the ways that I am lol. But I love her ARC. HER STORY. I want her to do sooooo well. She's a season 1 returner and I hope I am not watching Season 36 Kelly Wiglesworth.
Hannah - Watching her video I was like what org series is X T C lol. She is so cute and I want to be friends with her immediately, which I definitely think is going to come off well pre-merge. The braid, the camera - it's just so relatable. When she was describing the long convos you have to have with your allies (and enemies) I was like this girl has what it takes to win! And "catch me at the end, how bout dat?" is an ICONIC line.
Andrew - A fellow Canadian, we love to see it. I absolutely love how he is so earnest and adorable and self-reflective. He even notes how he has never played a long form game, hopefully noting some of the challenges that can come with that. I love his commitment to applying to the CBS reality tv shows as a person who is still too afraid to submit an application. I love that he wants to work with women and target men (even if it is for the wrong reasons... let's stop perpetuating the myth that women can't work with each other, espesh cause when we do work with each other we are also villified lmao we can't win!!). I cannot wait to see how he does.

Day 2 Cast Reveals: Jake - ugh love of my life, my ride or die in Conquest. Until it was him or me and I chose me lol. So I'm really interested to see how this turns out. His strategy in C16 was also to lean into his winner status, but I think he leaned in too hard. He's such a natural at this game and I can see him picking up a lot of quieter castaways. Also no, I was not salty when he said he had lots of #1s. (But also low key - Jake, was that all I was to you?!) Scott - Just pure entertainment and energy. The person everyone at a party wants to be around. I think that people will naturally gravitate toward him. It's wild that he hasn't seen Survivor and only BB cause Survivor is a lot more malleable and it's helpful to know some vote splits. I can't wait to watch him play, he is great tv and I am #TeamTV. Becki - We love new ORGers! I love honest she is and am so happy that she's found an escape and a way to connect with new friends. She seems to know what type of player she is ans we will always stan heroes over villains in this house I am worried when she said she tried to film the video a few times but couldn't get some alone time because you really have to put in that time with your allies. I hope she proves me wrong and does really well.

Scott: Yes, calling people will make a huge difference lol. Don't be afraid to be messy cuz you gotta make moves son! I don't have any knowledge of your past games so I don't feel like I am the best person to talk about you but looking forward to seeing what you do!
Chioma: Maybe it's just me being picky but I really want to see some energy in these into videos and you saying I'm in it to win it several times ain't doing it for me. For now, it's looking like a pre-merge for you. Prove me wrong please!
Michael: I love hearing about fake idol plays. You gotta think outside of the box and I really feel like you are going to make some unique moves and I don't know if that will pay off or not as it all depends on the execution. Here is hoping you use the game to make a name for yourself!

Rooting for Tati! I spectated her last game! Since it's still ongoing I can't go too in depth on her. I just worry she learned the wrong lessons lol. But she's intelligent so I think she'll be fine.

CHIOMAAAAAA! So happy to see her back and I’m hoping she does better this go around after actually developing a better understanding of the game. The biggest thing she needs to do is make a bigger effort to form strong game relationships early because although she was relatively well liked in XTC 10, she was one of the biggest non factors game wise I’ve ever encountered. Hoping for a big improvement and a great showing from her!

Also.... Michael! A Florida boy who likes fake idols?? Sounds familiar. I worry he may be a little too excited for his own good though, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him overplay early and flame out. Save the fake idol for final 5 Michael!!

First of all, I agree with William. Bartender, give me a shot of energy. Cmon on y’all, let’s see some personalitea.
Scott: not another gay Scott!! Lol. Really wanna see some villainous behavior this szn so hoping he brings it.
Chioma: even though she was super lowkey I’m excited to see how she plays. I see potential.
Michael: love that he made a fake idol. His tribe has a few big personalities so I think he’s gonna have to up his presence a bit to make connections.

Tati
So glad she's playing another game! Rooting for her to make it far and make close connections. I'm curious how she'll navigate a cast full of returnees when she is a very new newbie.
Michael
Seems likes he's going to analyze the heck out of every part of the game. Also, I want whatever phone he recorded this intro on. And to have the weather of wherever he is located. Excited to see what chaos he might incite.

Day 5 (ugh I'm behind again, I'm trying so hard to be GOOD)
Shon- I know of Shon in the community and I'm super excited to see him in action. I think that some of these newbies are gonna be hellllla threatened by him right off the get-go though. But I know that feeling, that dying to win feeling, and I'm not counting him out. I want to see him do well, but I have a lurking feeling he's going to be a premerge casualty.
Tito- is SUCH a little PRECIOUS angel. I don't know why I'm weirdly obsessed with Tito when he lied to my face and blindsided me with an idol in my pocket in a game that must not be named, but I am!!! He's just so goofy and fun, and it makes people absolutely adore him instantly. I could see him linking up with Becki, but I feel like Hannah will want someone a bit more strategic/outwardly gamey for an ally, so I don't see them working together. Jake, who knows.
Racheal- the oh I want her to make it so far, she is perfect. She is so much fun!!! Moose are so cute!!! She's from Alaska!!! Ahhh!!! I just really like how personable she is, and I really think that she's going to win into people's hearts really quickly. Assuming that she is active and willing to put in the effort, I think that people are really going to like her. I just need to manifest her doing well because she's incredible.

DAY 6!!!
Lamont- listen... girls and gays... I LOVE a self- proclaimed villain. He seems pretty self-aware, of like what his strengths/weaknesses are.... EXCEPT for when he says going to tribal three times is not a lot? Sir, that's a lot? But he keeps saying that he wants to make big moves... but that he doesn't want to get taken out for playing too hard this time..... sir, make up your mind? Idk, I hope he learns from his last time around and gets it goin.
Tatiana- she seems like one of those very genuine, honest, chill players... cannot relate! Said it before and I'll say it again- New to survivor people don't do well, so unless she's binged a season or two since endure 10, she's gone premerge after 4 episodes of UTR ratings.
Sergio- XTC is cracked, my dude. Yes, s*q**st*r is fast paced- but like... this game is like that on steroids. People are talking all the time, plans are always evolving...... I just don't see him making it far lmao he's too pure for this world. But also, I can definitely see him attaching himself to a really good social player as his number one ally and not realizing that he's a mega pawn. Tbh... maybe Tito? Tito is bubbly, but Tito seems pretty genuine when you first meet him. I can see Sergio teaming up with him there and Tito being very willing to do what he has to do.
