Since we likely getting a teaser for S40 next week and press release stuff coming out in the weeks to come, I thought it would be a good idea to start a pre-season discussion where we can give our thoughts on the cast, predictions, who we rooting for, who shouldn’t have made the cast, etc.

I've seen the cast and I'm excited. I don't want to mention names incase people haven't found out yet.
I don't know anything else besides that.

I want to know the backstory behind Mike (Worlds Apart) not getting cast, because I thought he was a lock the moment All Winners was announced for Season 40. He’s one of the more memorable winners of the last ten seasons. He should’ve replaced Ben, who in my opinion was one of the worse winners I’ve seen on the show.

Obviously they picked 10 guys and 10 girls, but Mike was one of the memorable winners like you mentioned. I would have loved to see Richard Hatch be on it, but after what happened on All-Stars with him touching Sue Hawk he probably wasn't invited back. I'm really hoping Tony makes at least the jury cause he is so damn entertaining.

How do you reckon (did I just say reckon like I'm from the UK? I'm gonna roll with it.) players like Boston Rob, Sandra and Parvati will do? Three of the most popular players ever who will have huge targets on their backs just by name value alone. Someone is gonna win the season, and I'm going to guess one of the more under the radar winners will come out on top.

Someone is gonna win the season, and I'm going to guess one of the more under the radar winners will come out on top. Hot take: I think the popular/more known players are gonna do better than expected and it won’t be just under the radar the players making endgame. Names like Boston Rob, Parvati, Sandra, Tony, Tyson, etc are game smart enough to know that the big dogs can’t just attack one another from the get go and will work their way to get rid of the smaller targets. I basically predict Jeremy’s whole “meat shield” strategy from Second Chances taking great altitude this season = Big targets keeping big targets around, small targets finding themselves in positions of danger.

This season is going to be brutal. To be honest I want the OG players to ally together and overthrow new winners like Wendell, Nick and Ben. The female player I'm excited the most is Kim. Her season was so weird/disliked by a lot of fans there's so many questions as to how she would perform in a season full of legend players.

Michele Fitzgerald will be a 2 time winner and Jeff Probst will cancel the show. You heard it here first.

I’m definitely excited about this upcoming season. There are some cast members that I love and some I obviously do not like at all, but its going to be a bloodbath.
I hope they decide to do a runner-up season sometime in the future if this can be done!

I really don’t care who wins as long as Adam and Ben go premerge. Especially Adam. He is trash.
I just rewatched 33-35 though and honestly even tho Ben is the devil, he did what he had to do and he’s not to blame for finding idols cuz nobody else took the time to watch him. He might be entertaining for a bit at least. Sarah is also a better winner than I remembered on a rewatch.

I was joking when I said I read spoilers. I only read the first boot and never went back.

What are everyone’s thoughts on the S40 teaser played at the reunion?
I thought it was perfect. I must’ve replayed it like 5 times. I’m officially hyped.

Only thing I hope they fix is EOE but I get why they’re doing it this season again. Gives for time for favs if they happen to leave early. Just don’t want what happened the first time to happen again.
