Yeah, I know. My Asperger's is showing here.

[The Ghost]

I should possibly have you hosting next season. O.O

[beanz]

I get the feeling I may enjoy this too much that I will want to play again

[The Ghost]

I hope so!

[beanz]

I'm adding Kass for now.

She could get screen-time because she's got witty humour, but her voice is bland as crap and I wouldn't be surprised if she gets the Julia treatment if she has little-to-no impact on the game.

~~ANALYSING THE PRE-INTRO~~    

Ok, generally those shown pre-intro pan out to be the "bigger" characters. It's not so much the case with returnee seasons (eg. BvW, Caramoan); but if you look back at, the last season with no returnees - One World;

In order: Colton, Alicia, Jonas, Jay, Matt

All of them made the merge.

Another example to look at - Redemption Island (it was not revealed pre-intro that Rob/Russ had returned)

In order: Phillip, Matt, Ralph

Again, all of them made the merge.

Nicaragua:
Fabio, Jimmy J, Jimmy T, Alina, Brenda

Three of them made the merge. Jimmy T was regarded as an early villain and received a fair amount of early visibility. Jimmy J was regarded as a "celebrity" drawcard.

Now; this season, in order: 
Spencer, David, Kass, Morgan, Jeremiah, Jefra, Cliff, Sarah, Tony, Tasha, Alexis, Lindsey, Spencer (again).

This distorts the trend a little bit, but what can be said is that these characters need to be watched.

One thing I need to do; though, is to consider storylines and potential longevity of the tribe I have assembled.

I have to use one of my trades with David, obviously. However I also need to jump ship on a couple of players who I think seem to have storylines beginning that will end in early demises.

Sarah looks absolutely secure in her position on the Brawn tribe. She appears to be on good terms with Tony, and not buying into the Lindsey-Trish thing. For now, she's STAYING.

Jeremiah looks fairly secure. Not talked about as a boot option. Appears to be tied to Brice/Morgan. Despite his low scores, STAYING.

Lindsey appears iffy in her tribe, but seems to have more numbers (Trish looks isolated with Tony). However, Tony has the idol. I'm going to go with my gut in saying the Brawn tribe will win another challenge. STAYING.

Spencer. There's a few questions surrounding keeping Spencer, despite his good score. Will he stick around if the Brains lose again? Will the villain be unleashed? Will the Brains even lose another challenge? Tentative, but I'd really like to think the Brains can pull it together... as long as Jefra isn't on the puzzle! IFFY.

Jefra will have at least one confessional, as per the promo for next week. But is she on her way out? On the bottom of the Beauties, whom I predict are off to Tribal next. Tough decision; but I feel like she's kinda worth keeping just in case it is the Brains who lose the next one. STAYING.

I think it maaaay be worth trading away Spencer for a more secure long-term prospect.

[beanz]

At this point making a trade would be a crap-shoot given that the shuffled tribes aren't known yet.

I think CBS released the shuffle in photos last year. Not sure if that would count as spoilers but it could make things unbalanced if we end up with a One World swap situation where one tribe becomes a Manono and fails.
