My assessments:
#Duffybutt11 - Duffy is actually semi-intelligent. If he's active enough he will do well. But he tends to "forget" about challenges and what not. [Early merge boot]
#BENLINUS - Don't know him very well personally, but he has a reputation. So he's either going to make it really far, or go early. Not to mention there is an apparent rivalry between him and Porsche. I know porsche is not somebody you want against you, so that's not good. I'm going to say he draws the short stick this season. [Pre-Merge Boot]
#Sunslicer2 - Always a pleasure to watch him compete. He is incredibly smart. If nobody gets wind of this, he's sure to go far. Him and Joeker have history (along with porsche), so I'll count on them leading a majority alliance within this tribe. He's a good candidate to win. [Late Merge Boot/Final 2]
#TheBenj14 - Never heard of him. He's not really ever been on my radar, so I'll just assume he goes pre-merge. Ehhh, actually. I don't know. His application kind of makes him seem like he is good at articulating what he is thinking. So maybe he will surpise me. I'm going to say he'll make merge. [Mid-Merge Boot]
#Leonine_Divine - Decent record based off of his profile. Never heard either way. He seems to be the dark horse of his tribe. Could go either way. [Pre-Merge/Early Merge Boot]
#Joeker - Great strategist. Always has his pieces in check. He could make it far, but I don't think he's a strong enough physical competitor to win challenges when he needs to. [Very Late Merge Boot]
#joshg222 - Seems to be well spoken. I'm not sure where he will place though. He has a lot of tough competitors in hi tribe. If he can't fit in, he'll be out quickly. [Pre-Merge Boot]
#porschefan101 - Love porsche. Great player. Should go far and provide lots of drama. Can't wait to see the damage she does. [Mid-Merge Boot]
#AlanDuncan - Played a few tengaged games with him. He seems to be thoughtful, which could get him decently far. If he can get with the right people, he'll be good for the merge. [Pre-Merge/Early Merge Boot]
#FireFlameVG - Very influential in any game, but I don't think this tribe will have too much trouble with FireFlame. He's a good player, but he'll be on the outs. [Pre-Merge Boot]
#GameTime - No idea. Honestly I don't know much about him.
#TDO88 - He'll fly under the radar, but pull strings when he needs to. He has potential, but won't win. [Mid-Merge Boot]
#PizPaz - Not sure. Could be last place, could make merge. No idea.
#Mearl - Mearl is an astounding player, but everybody knows he can't ever be 100% trustworthy. I think he'll make merge, but he'll be the primary target once that happens. [Early Merge Boot]
#BBobsessor - Seems to be pretty nice. But other than that, I have no memory of his name.
#CK11 - CK is a huge player. Great to see him here. He should be a force. I can bet you he'll make it to the finals if he can make merge. He's a great addition to the cast. [Late Merge/Final 2]
