Happy to say I'll be hosting the aftershow where I'll be interviewing each eliminated castaway on here and picking their brain on what happened in the game and all that good stuff. I might even have Nathanial on....

Ok so, you always seemed to know you were gonna do an All-Stars season, but were there any other formats you were thinking of going with? Heroes vs. Villains, 3 tribes of 6/7, etc.?

I actually have a little excel sheet where I played out a lot of different formats. I had Saints vs. Sinners, Strength/Social/Strategy, Fighters vs. Sneaks....merge vs. finalists vs. pre-jury but in the end I knew I wanted to switch it up and I really liked social/strength/strategic but didn't want to do 3 tribes again so I came up with sidelined to add a little more spice to it and I think it's working out amazingly so far.

Hm true, all 4 tribes are pretty interesting and dynamic.
Now onto the actual player, cast is STACKED. However, always with returnee seasons, players can't live up to their past fame for whatever reasons. Who do you think is gonna be a big target and have a tough time making it far this season?

So the clear ones are the winners. They automatically have huge targets on their backs but so far it seems like they're doing very well at avoiding the target. If I were to guess the first winner out the tribal exit...it would probably be Briq. He has a lot of allies but a lot of them are really struggling to prove themselves this time around and I'm sure they're already tempted to cut him loose in the most dramatic way possible.
As far as non-winners...Jamie is a scary player. I know Id be worried about her. Enchilada and Cole are scary due to their reputations but I'm sure people will try to use this to their advantage but they are definitly going to play the game hard.

Yeah, Jamie was the first one to come to mind too, especially since she isn't that friendly with some of the newer people like others are. On the other hand, who do you think will pull an Amber/Parvati/Cocharan and do a lot better their second (or third) time around?

Based on my original guesses before the game started, I was thinking Kyle had a great chance of being that Parvati like player. He was on the wrong side of things the entire season in Bermuda but he was a strong player so I saw him making it far this time.
I can also see Bryan being a big surprise. I think people are overlooking him and those are the players you need to look out for the most. They just don't realize it.

I had to step out briefly, sorry lol
But to move on to different categories, who do ya see being the hero/villain of the season and/or having the biggest feud?

Stan has been saying he wants to be the villain this time around, but I'm not sure if he has it in him to be THAT cutthroat. I hope he does because that makes a more interesting season, but we'll see.
As far as heroes...that's hard because it kind of goes to whoever is in the minority and can succeed and push through their disadvantage. I think the Sidelined tribe is definitely being portrayed as heroes by themselves mostly. They came into the game seeing their tribe name as this horrible insult when it's really not. The tribe name simply means that they were cut loose by their allies or tribe before they could make big moves. There is no shame in that, but they take it that way and so they're definitely taking the underdogs approach to the game, which is fun regardless.
Dusty and Stan could definitely have some fighting if/when they are together. Enchilada is bound to piss some people off. Dewie tends to rub noobz the wrong way, so Bermuda people might still be a little bothered by his sass so we'll see about that. There's a lot of possible fighting I could see happening,

Hm fair enough, so right now give me your winner pick(s) from this cast.

Post by Nate on Jun 26, 2015 12:08:43 GMT -5
I'll go by tribe and then say my final pick (though I have not really thought much about who I think will win so this is off the top of my head pretty much.
Strength: I think Dewie is the front runner to win from this tribe. He's smart, and he still has unfinished business. He came last and then second, and those are the two worst placements ever. One, you didn't even get to play, and another you're the first place loser. He's got the drive to win I think. I could see Alex possibly winning again but that's obviously going to be a tough thing to do for him. Especially when he's surrounded by other challenge beasts this time. I can't see Kaitlyn or Dusty winning tbh but doesn't mean I don't want them to. James could possibly win but he has this weird strategy of not being good and making it to the end just to sass the jurors so I don't see him winning lmao. And then I could TOTES see Phil winning but he's got a big target on his back too I'm sure. But he's like able enough to wipe that target away until it's too late.
Social: Frontrunner from this tribe is probably Jimmy. He's got the relationship skills to make it far and is quiet enough to slide by and f*ck sh*t up when nobody sees it coming. The question is if he will do this or if he'll be j chillin the entire game. Alaina also has a good shot because she's so likeable. Joey kinda f*cked himself over by saying he'd screw over his allies. Everyone needs a scapegoat and he made it extremely easy for everyone. Because of this, I could see people viewing him as a goat to take to the end but he's smart enough to win. Bryan is also self aware enough to win this game. He's got the social game down obviously, but he needs to make more friends because I don't see Bermuda actually sticking together as a solid force. Ashley is employing a great strategy where she's falling back and being basically inactive except for challenges and votes. She hasn't gone hard at alliances or anything to keep a target off her back but I really don't see her winning a third time. No way they let it happen. Ricardo will be the dark horse of the season. Surprisingly he has seemed to make his way into a majority alliance and he's smart. I can definitely see him winning. A close second to Jimmy from this tribe.
Strategy: Okay so Jamie is gone. My bet to win from this tribe would have to be...I guess Kenny? I honestly don't see any of these five winning as much as I can see other tribes winning. Kenny has too big of a target on his back but if he can make his way into that final tribal somehow, he probably has the win on lock. Briq has too big of a target on his back and I feel like it's unavoidable. Even his allies are debating cutting him lose. Enchilada is obviously more of a character than winner material and he knows that. I can't see many situations where he could pull off a win. Tom doesn't have the friends in this game to make it far. If he can make new relationships and manage to get to the merge, I could see him possibly winning but it's also a long shot. And finally Outlast. I really hope he can surprise me and make some big moves that get him to the end and more importantly get him the win. Outlast knows how to get to the end but the win is what he hasn't been able to snag because he doesn't play loud enough. There has to be a balance.
Sidelined: Honestly I sound stupid now but if you had asked me before the game started, I would have picked Kyle as the winner but he's gone now lol. My bet with the other five would have to be Vova actually. He makes friends easily in this game and after BB Btb I think he understands what he has to do to actually win this time. No doubt he makes it to the merge and he has a great chance to make finals. He just needs to bring the right people to the end with him. Lizzie I honestly can't see winning. Too many people are against her, but I would love to see her make a great run. Cole has this idea place into people's heads that he's crazy and doesn't totally get how to play and I think that will keep him from winning even if he plays a great game. He'll have to play very in the open and let people see his moves and let them know it was him if he wants to win. Stan probably wants to win this thing more than anyone and because of that I can't see him winning. He's going to play hard and that usually ends in 6th-4th place or out right at the merge. He is smart though and has a lot of allies. He'll make a good run. Magnum I could definitely see winning. He pulled it off in BB and who's to say he can't do it again. People love him so he's definitely got that going for him.
My overall prediction........ugh.....idk
I'll go with a risky bet and choose Vova. I really think a sidelined player is gonna take it home. If not, a Social.

Well that pretty much covered my word association game, rude....
But to finish off, this being All Stars, what big twists/surprises should we expect?

Post by Nate on Jun 26, 2015 12:30:27 GMT -5
Omg sry
Twists you can expect...
More tribe swaps than ever before, a CBS survivor fan favorite making its debut in my series, and a favorite from my series also making a couple appearances. It should be lots of fun craziness.

Ok so better late than never right? Anyway sad to be interviewing this castaway so early, but she played an extremely aggressive and dominant game her first time around and second tie around, wasn't too lucky. The first boot of her tribe, as well as the whole game. Everybody welcome Eschro09 (aka Jamie tbh)!

Interesting, in that case I assume you had alliances worked out then? Care to share what they were?

Post by ESchro09 on Jun 29, 2015 21:31:02 GMT -5
Sure. Well as soon as the game started people were talking to me like crazy. Which I thought was good at first. After seeing Kenny and Expert on my tribe I was a little weary because I don't trust either one of them. Kenny is still bitter with me from last season of Survivor and Expert, well he's always a headache and a little flaky.
To my knowledge Me, Kenny, Outlast and Expert were in an alliance. I had also talked to Tom and Briq, but apparently the boys must have spread my reputation around the camp before I got to them.
They all came to me the night of tribal to see who to vote out, that's when I was a little suspicious that Kenny was going to do to me exactly what I did to Dewie.. which he did.
