Alexis Jones

Name: Oscar/Odvetar
Age: 26
Where you might know her from: Shadow Survivor - Eliza & Lex

"I try my best to always be one step ahead of my competition, visualizing any potential scenario and planning my moves based on that. When I'm in shape/have time/into it, i usually do one hell of a job."

Woo says: Odvetar, in Shadow AS, slayed me. I've also seen him crash and burn. He's a schemer and he's hella experienced, but he definitely has a personality that can rub people way wrong. Alexis is one of our few wildcards, but I'd say she embodies the word.

Tyler says: I don't have much of an opinion because he wasn't very active in the only game we've played together. I've heard good things and am hoping he can do well here.

Baylor Wilson

Name: ? - Remaining alias to PWs


"I'd say the title I'd like to strive for, and that I most often tend to fall towards, though, is this:

The Exception.

I don't mean that in the sense of "I'm the best! I'm exceptional! Pick me!" I'm thinking of it in the programming sense. An exception is an unexpected event that a program isn't expecting to happen. It's an error, a spanner in the works. I think that's the title for me because it describes the role I most often seek to fill."

Woo says: Ok our first two are the real wildcards, fuck the alphabet. Someone that is either THE one to watch, or someone who will have activity issues. Time will tell. Definitely a good head on their shoulders, though.

Tyler says: Really looking forward to a Baylor rep and to seeing how they will play.

Chelsea says: Baylor probably has one of the best looking apps in general but like Woo said she is going to be a boom or bust player. She will either be REALLY active and likely great or drop off drastically at some point and be inactive. Only time will tell but I have faith in her.

Brad Virata

Name: Dennis
Age: 23
Where you might know her from: Survivor Empire - Brenda
GvE Vesuvias - Zelda
Secret Story - Jared

"I know A LOT of things I am bad at. I suck at challenges, strategic awareness, I'm paranoid, I am lacking in personal social skills, but at the end of the day, I am still fierceeeeeee."

Woo says: This is odd, because Brad is a level-heaed CHILL strategic guy, but he's going a crazy route right now. I was closely aligned with him in GvE, and I know how capable he is of adapting himself. Brad is rubbing people the wrong way right now, but I wouldn't count him out. Brad could seriously go the distance and wow us all.

Tyler says: I'm not sure how Empire finished but, as far as the premerge, Brenda was cool to watch and a solid strategist. He seems to be playing differently as Brad and idk how it will work out but I think he can be a solid and fun person to watch play especially if he does what he did during the Empire premerge.

Chelsea says: I got to play with Brad in his first game (Secret Story) and he was a BIT of a mess there with talking to people about mainly just game stuff and being the opposite of subtle, yet not all that socially active. He has since improved and I'm excited to see how he's going to do here because he seems to have improved a LOT. Hopefully he can recover from this WEIRD start.

Butch Lockley

Name: Jacob
Age: 21
Where you might know him from: Decades 1 - Erik
Warriors 7 - Erik
Rustic 4 - Brett
Twisted AS - PW Erik

"I went from MORP in Decades, where I was in a little bit over my head (and didn't confess very much) but generally likable, to OTTN in Warriors, where I was an idiot and a dick (and confessed more), to CP in Rustic, where I played a solid game pre-merge and apparently made great confessionals, but got some bad luck and alienated some people and went home a lot earlier than I would have liked. I think in this game, you would see a lot more of Rustic Jacob, which I feel is the best Jacob, and hopefully this time, I will continue to learn from my mistakes, maintain relationships properly, and make it past freaking 7th."

Woo says: I don't know how to evaluate Butch. He's active, he's perceptive, but he's never been lauded for having a phenomenal social game by any means. I don't think Butch is going too far, I think he's too cynical and our cast is too active. We'll see, of course, but I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Tyler says: Butch is an interesting case for me because I'm probably one of quite a few people in games that have butted heads with him, even when he PWed AS. I think he's a naturally funny guy and his meet and greet thread was hysterical so that may bode well for him at the start if he is active enough. I can see him falling into a number of mistakes and I don't think he has much of a chance to win but if he keeps up what he's doing now and does what he's done in the past, he'll be entertaining until he goes out.

Chelsea says: Butch can be quite fun and from a PW and viewer perspective I think he will DEFINITELY be fun. I find it kinda funny that he cares so much about his edgic and I'm ready to crush his dreams as far as that goes 3:) . However as a player, I think he has a bit to work on as far as being more subtle and to improve as a social player. He CAN do well, but will he? That is the question.

Caleb Reynolds

Name: Abi
Age: 21
Where you might know him from: Warriors 7 - Fabio
GvE Alsius & All Stars - Atohi

"I quite honestly find it very hard to compare myself to any castaway because I feel like I am mix of everyone but I actually could relate a lot to Caleb, he was easily liked by everyone, as we saw on big brother, he has a big heart(I have a big heart but not in a creepy way), he's also a very good competitor, I just think he's awesome, however I thin I am more strategic than he is."

Woo says: Caleb is active and Caleb is a CHARACTER. I don't see him garnering much support, honestly, but I do see him potentially setting himself up well. I'm on the fence here, he could so easily crash & burn, and yet he could also totally not?

Tyler says: I've heard so much about him and yet I've never actually seen him play so I'm excited for whatever he'll bring to Twisted. I think he's probably going to be at one of the extremes, either an entertaining player who goes deep or an early boot who gets on people's nerves. From what I have heard/seen, I don't see him winning but he'll definitely be dedicated and fun to watch while he's here.

Chelsea says: lol, Abi. I think he actually has the chance to do REALLY well as long as he doesn't rub people the wrong way. As a viewer you either like him or love to hate him. I think he's going to be an incredible addition to the cast considering as a player he actually DOES seem to know what he is doing at least some of the time. He probably won't win, but he'll be polarizing.

Steve "Chicken" Morris

Name: Baxter
Age: 25
Where you might know him from: Sausage Island 10 - Mookie
Stranded - Mookie (Winner)

Woo says: Mookie & I were bffs in SI and he had a pretty stellar social game. He also made a handful of horrific mistakes. AND YET, he went on to win Stranded right after. I don't know what my point is here, but I guess Chicken could go either way. He has what it takes to win, but I question how much he'll dedicate of himself to the game. Early boot vibes? I hope not.

Dana Lambert

Name: Tricks
Age: 24
Where you might know her from: GvE Paradiso & All Stars - Beth
Sausage Island 8 - Eddie Fox
RnF10 & All Stars - Candice Stewart
Warriors 7 - Aaron

"if you shove the final three of china in a blender then i'll probably come out when you're done. i have the effortless charm and finesse of amanda kimmel *flips hair*, the lovable insulting snark of courtney yates, and the craftiness (and, uh, well, gayness, OBVIOUSLY) of todd herzog. is it a winning combination? well, uh, ha, about that not yet, I'M TRYING, REALLY, I'M TRYING SO HARD? i can't say i PLAN to play like any of them specifically but "

Woo says: Tricks is a strong player, so I have no doubt he'll go the distance. He has a good head on his shoulders and I don't think that, in such a ZANY cast, that'll work against him. I think he'll be a rational breath of fresh air from the many crazies around, and he could even pull out the win.

Chelsea says: I only got to play with Tricks once and I don't think he was at his best because he was busy. From what I've seen of him though he is a pretty great social player and is at least above average in likely any and all fields as far as ORGs go. He commented on how his biggest problem is probably going to be visibility and I would agree with that. Should be a good confesser and a good player.

Debbie Wanner

Wishes to remain alias from PWs.

"My biggest strength is my social game. I am a pretty likeable dude so I get a long with everyone. However my weakness is sometimes I am hesitant to make a move and I tend to not be very trusting"

Woo says: Most of (all of?) you wouldn't know Debbie, so I wouldn't try to ID them. I think Debbie is going to be a fun character if she applies herself. She's smart and she's definitely done her fair share of ORGs and placed extremely well in them. Keep an eye on Debbie, folks. I think it'll take a round or two to assess how strong of a player she'll be in this game, but I get very good vibes.

Eliza Orlins

Name: Cork
Age: 18
Where you might know her from: Newbie!

"I tend to take things very personally. If somebody double-crosses me, it will be quite challenging me to forgive them, let alone trust them again. The only solution to this is to vote them out before they vote me out, though this could almost certainly blow up some major plans."

Woo says: Eliza is my favorite noob app (with Tom at a close second). Gave a GREAT interview and really has a good head on her shoulders. She's super excited as well. She could easily fall short, of course, as so many noobs do, but I really am hoping she can not make those typical noob errors. I think, most importantly (?), the VL will love her.

Gervase Peterson

Name: Alex
Age: 23
Where you might know him from: Newbie!

"I would call myself the "anti-hero". As a player on Survivor, I don't think I would clearly be a hero or a villain. I would make a number of big moves, sometimes flipping between voting blocs. I would ensure that I was well-liked enough to perform well at the final tribal council, but I would definitely do some things that could get me pegged as a bit of a villain."

Woo says: I don't know how Gervase will do. He had an amazing app, but I'm not sure if that'll translate into a stellar social game. I don't see him being incredible, but he could very well surprise us. Gervase definitely knows Survivor, and I hope he proves my first impressions wrong.

James Clement

Name: Matt
Age: 36
Where you might know him from: Open ID player - Endure 3, Survivor Facebook, Survivor Unmasked 3

"I am The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. You think that I'm your friend and that I am one of you. You don't realize that I'm the villain until it's too late to do anything about it."

Woo says: This is someone to watch. He's been around the block and he knows ORGs. His age and the fact he's a father could play against him, but I really have high expectations for James. Extremely intelligent and very intuitive. Possibly a fantasy pick for me?? IDK, but he's someone I'm very excited to watch.

Jefra Bland

Name: Nudge
Age: 22
Where you might know her from: Twisted 4 - Brendan

"If I'm not mistaken, an India contestant (RC) considered playing her idol for me just because I was so nice! I think that's definitely my best shot at winning, making friends and relationships. My big weakness last game was mostly being late to the pregaming, so I won't let that happen."

Woo says: I'm psyched to have Brendan back. He was well-liked in Twisted 4 and his vote was p heartbreaking. Honestly, I have no idea if he'll succeed more this time around (I think a female rep suits him better, though), but I'm excited to see how he does. I'm sure the Khasias here can say something about him.

Chelsea says: Seeing Brendan again should be INTERESTING. He had a rough go in Twisted 4 because of his time zone and the sheer activity of the majority of his tribe. He is obviously pretty likable and as a result, I feel like he can do well here.

Jonny Fairplay

Name: Grant
Age: "This is such an odd question to ask."
Where you might know him from: Twisted 5 player & Twisted 6 co-host - Alex Bell
Epic SBB3 & FvFvF - Fabio
Warriors - Host Austin

"I think the game Spencer played in Cambodia is the type of game I typically play. Have good relationships with all sides so that, when the talks about blindsiding me in a round or two come up, I can cut them off pretty swiftly. Play the middle as long as possible, keep big threats around, and use that combination to navigate my way to the end. It's worked out pretty well lately - I made it to the end in Decades and Rustic back to back. The only problem was the other threats got there too, and I got two narrow losses. #foreversecond"

Woo says: Grant is Grant. He's a great player and, odds are, he'll go the distance. I obviously am more likely to root for people I haven't seen play 8000 times, but I think Grant will provide us with everything we could want. Great confessionals and a strategic mind. Fantasy players: grab him while he's hot!

Chelsea says: Love Grant T B H. Really fun to talk to, super great player, and it's a shame that he has gotten 2nd in seemingly every game recently. THIS TIME WILL BE DIFFERENT (whether he wins or not is a completely different question). He should be fun to watch regardless, very self-aware, great confessionals, and has a certain knack for fun CP narration. Can't wait to see him do well.

Julia Sokolowski

Name: Zack
Age: 24
Where you might know her from: Sausage Island 10 - Colton
Rustic 4 - Silas
39 Days - Misty
BBDefiance - Jace

"My weaknesses will be like in every game and that I'm loyal to a fault and inevitably get screwed in the end. My strength goes hand in hand with my weakness and that I'm a social threat and I'll jump the gun and say my social game is pretty top tier. I may not be good at challenges, but I'm very good at making people like me and trust me. I think a good social game is really the key to victory."

Woo says: Someone else to watch. Silas slayed Rustic 4 by being so damn likeable. He knows what he's doing, despite the act he puts on. I'd put money down on Julia going very far in this game and slipping right under the radar.
