    Angelina Keeley
    Angelina Keeley Vatu Tribe | David vs. Goliath

    One of our best returning characters, Angelina has a path forward to the end.

    Aubry Bracco
    Aubry Bracco Vatu Tribe | Kaoh Rong, Game Changers, Edge of Extinction

    Aubry is one of the more overexposed players along with Ozzy and Cirie, I think Aubry will get one of the “personal growth” edits, similar to Colby.

    Charlie Davis
    Charlie Davis Kalo Tribe | Survivor 46

    My least favorite player returning this season due to the way he conducted himself toward fellow player Maria in his exit press. I don’t see him going far.

    Chrissy Hoffbeck
    Chrissy Hoffbeck Kalo Tribe | Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers

    Perhaps the highlight of her previous season, Chrissy is one of the women record-holders for challenges, a group that includes Savannah. Let’s hope she makes merge.

    Christian Hubicki
    Christian Hubicki Cila Tribe | David vs. Goliath

    The standout from David vs. Goliath, Christian’s patented charm could get him to merge. And you know what? Screw it, I’ll put him in Final Three.

    Cirie Fields
    Cirie Fields Cila Tribe | Panama – Exile Island, Micronesia – Fans vs. Favorites, Heroes vs. Villains, Game Changers, (Australian Survivor) Australia vs. The World

    You always expect people to target Cirie early, but her charisma could float her further than we’d predict.

    Coach Wade
    Coach Wade Kalo Tribe | Tocantins, Heroes vs. Villains, South Pacific

    Coach is here to end his reputation on a good note, so perhaps we’ll see some surprising attempts at human connection before he makes a relatively graceful, final exit.

    Colby Donaldson
    Colby Donaldson Vatu Tribe | The Australian Outback, All-Stars, Heroes vs. Villains

    Colby is complicated for me as I started my Survivor days watching him achieve stardom in real-time. However, I consider his arc fully over and don’t care to see his presence without Jerri. Early boot.

    Dee Valladares
    Dee Valladares Kalo Tribe | Survivor 45

    One of the top masterminds of the new era, I expect Dee to make it deep into the merge.

    Emily Flippen
    Emily Flippen Cila Tribe | Survivor 45

    Calculating and driven, it will all come down to whether Emily can make the proper alliances without alienating players with her frankness or self-deprecating nature.

    Genevieve Mushaluk
    Genevieve Mushaluk Vatu Tribe | Survivor 47

    Genevieve had a subtle start on her first season and I kind of expect something similar here, if she isn’t picked off early.

    Jenna Lewis-Dougherty
    Jenna Lewis-Dougherty Cila Tribe | Borneo, All-Stars

    The necessary representative from Survivor’s first-ever season, Jenna is a wild card in that we haven’t seen her play in two decades.

    Joe Hunter
    Joe Hunter Cila Tribe | Survivor 48

    The Normal Guy mascot of Survivor 48, Joe will need to have leveled up in his social reads to make it past the midpoint of the game.

    Jonathan Young
    Jonathan Young Kalo Tribe | Survivor 42

    I have a soft spot for Jonathan as he genuinely makes the often perfunctory challenges into great fun to watch. But his social game is weak and that might sink him.

    Kamilla Karthigesu
    Kamilla Karthigesu Kalo Tribe | Survivor 48

    The most exciting returnee from the 48th season, Kamilla will need to ‘maage her threat level’ as they say, since she should be freshest in the players’ minds.

    Kyle Fraser
    Kyle Fraser Vatu Tribe | Survivor 48

    I just don’t see it working out for Kyle here. Grated, I’ve underestimated him before.

    Mike White
    Mike White Kalo Tribe | David vs. Goliath

    My least favorite DVG returnee, he also brings the toxic metagame component of potential nepotism for his television shows. Maybe he’ll be taken out early, one can hope.

    Ozzy Lusth
    Ozzy Lusth Cila Tribe | Cook Islands, Micronesia – Fans vs. Favorites, South Pacific, Game Changers

    Very overexposed for me and not even the most impressive ‘challenge beast’ of the season. Adios, amigo.

    Q Burdette
    Q Burdette Vatu Tribe | Survivor 46

    Q already seems to be confounding players with his chaotic aura in the pre-game, so I can only imagine that he will be good TV for as long as he’s around.

    Rick Devens
    Rick Devens Cila Tribe | Edge of Extinction

    Rick was good as a narrator to his season and someone who actually made things happen, but it won’t be a huge loss if he’s gone early.

    Rizo Velovic
    Rizo Velovic Vatu Tribe | Survivor 49

    Not a fan of his strategy when it comes to idols and it’s one I don’t expect to work in his favor this time around. Goodbye.

    Savannah Louie
    Savannah Louie Cila Tribe | Survivor 49

    If Savannah finds the right people, I think she has a chance for Final Five.

    Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick
    Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick Vatu Tribe | Palau, Guatemala, Heroes vs. Villains

    Not a fan of her outside the game and confused as to what she brings to the table. We’ll see.

    Tiffany Nicole Ervin
    Tiffany Nicole Ervin Kalo Tribe | Survivor 46

    Tiffany could win this whole damn thing. Kind of an All-Stars or Game Changers situation where the winner comes out of nowhere.
