I don't care enough about these people to read the group thread closely enough to figure out what the hell they are talking about but here are my early thoughts from confessionals

Kat: A (I don't know who this guy is but lying about his entire identity for the fuck of it yet still showing self-awareness? What's not to love! Loses points for calling Russell a great player. Entertainment does not equal Quality.)

Baylor: C- (My default grade for IDGAF and I already forgot what she said)

Brad: Is there a grade lower than F?

Brenda was probably the most forgettable post merger of Empire for me as viewer (Julia and the General transcended forgettable to become something greater)so this does not bode well for me. Now if she was Stacey on the other hand.....

PW Randall takes no prisoners. Expect lots of Randy's Rants unless these people become too boring for me to care anymore. Speaking of Randy's Rants if you people aren't listening to Max and Corinne's Survivor podcast you are missing out. It's the funniest Survivor related content on the internet right now IMO. Although I may just be biased because they have a Randy segment every week.

Also let it be known that I was the General's biggest fan from the beginning of Empire until the bitter end. Even as we could tell it was sinking and everyone else was bailing, I went down with that battleship.

I hate this cast. But it's a good kind of hate, the kind where I am invested in watching 23 of these people fail miserably and get emotionally devastated on their way to losing as opposed to the kind of hate where I just want to stop watching.

I'll do a quick and dirty cast ranking sometime soonish but first somebody is really gonna have to tell me who the fuck these people are.
