Pre Game Predictions

[Carlos Bernard]

Athena:

Aaron -
Aaron is a good player, however he is also a game slut. I think the amount of games he is in will catch up to him. While I don't think you will need to be super active in this game, in my opinion his tribe is the weakest and may find themselves at one of the first two tribal councils. If Monica decides to work with him, he could do well but if he holds grudges from Northern Wilderness he could see his torch snuffed early.

Gillian -
Gillian is one of those players who is associated with the Amanda crowd that will unfortunately probably take over this game. I don't see him as being someone who wants to change it up and make it less boring. With his ties I could see him making it really far and maybe even being strung along to the finals.
[FINALIST]

Kelly -
Kelly is one of my favorites due to the fact she is so likable and just a sweet and funny person (also not someone you see in a lot of ORGs). She is not the strongest in challenges however I this the social aspect of the game will make up for it. If she can find herself in a good alliance she could go far.
[JURY]

Monica -
Monica is a challenge whore plain and simple. I'm surprised she still wants to work with Amanda but they will make a good team. With four idols in the game (1 per tribe) there is a good chance she can make the merge with one or two. That combined with the fact I still think she can win most immunity challenges even against the raised competition is why I have her going far into the game if not winning it.
[JURY]

Rob -
How Rob does in the game will all determine on which Kevin decides to show up. If Dino game / Morocco Kevin shows up he could be a real threat to win this game. I know he has some ties in this game and he is also smart enough to know who is together. However if he continues his performance in my series he could not last long.

Chehalis:

Amanda -
While she is still in Kendra-mode, with Phillip knowing who she is, it will not remain a secret. However with this cast, I think she has more friends then enemies. I also think there are a lot of people who don't know or carre who she is. I think if she can get past a potential Eliza threat early in the game she and her friends like Monica, Natalie, and Gillian could go far
[FINALIST]

Eliza -
Season 3 winner has a huge target and bckstabbed a few people in her season. If she can get along with Amanda se could be in a good spot, but frankly I don't see any of the winners doing that well especially since all of them except Monica were very manpulative in their victory.

Jimmy -
Jimmy is a fun player to watch and his game was extremely underrated because of what he was up against in the finals in Matty and Julie. His realtionship with Julie will put a target on his back. He thinks CBsurvivor5 players will forgive and forget but considering he screwed all but Julie over I find it unlikely.

Joel -
Joel is the perfect ally. He is good in the challenges and is also loyal. He claims he won'tplay as forceful and unpredictable as his orginal season and if he does follow through he'll be a good ally. He has enemiess but I think if he sticks with Amanda from the get go he will be fine till the merge.
[JURY - EARLY]

Rocky -
Rocky is a wildcard to me, he is probably one of my favorite contestants ever however his activity is in question. If he is active he could make some new allies and make it really far. He could also be ignored due to the fact tht he is not apart of hte Amanda Club (i'd be pissed). He is also the person I most fear won't be able to live up to the All Star work load. I could see him being the first person voted out but I could also see him making it to the end.

[Carlos Bernard]

Kainai:

Jenna -
Jenna is a great social player. Being a mother you tend to trust her and also like her. She claims her Jenna Lewis apperance will be a secret but I didn't think she kept it a secret in Season 4? Regardless I see her making it far due to her social game alone and unfortunately coming up short agian due to being too well liked.
[JURY]

Na Onka -
Na Onka is another hilarious player to watch. I think she will play hard. The girls tribe is probably the second weakest tribe so they could end up at the first tribal council. Both Jenna and Natalie were against her in season 4 so she might be targetted. At the same time if she survives she may be the one person that can sway Gillian to go against Amanda and rejoin the CbSurvivor 4 lantwan alliance.
[JURY - EARLY]

Natalie -
To me she has the potential of being Gillian part two. She is loyal to Monica and if she finds out Amanda is Andy (which she may or may not already know) I think its game over. However if she aligns with Julie and maybe some others I could see her really being a catalyst for Amanda's group now winning. I think she is a great social player and a really good person to bring along to the end.
[FINALIST]

Sherea -
I think Sherea is a great player, however Survivor JizGoo kind of made me question that. She dominated when the competition was limited and I feel was always overshadowed by Tom. I also think if Tom leaves early she will become less active and struggle. While I love her as a player and her and Tom will always be main parts of my series, i think she will be overmatched this time around.

Stephenie -
I LOVE STEPHENIE! Her and Monica are probably the two most dedicated people to ever play my series. It will break my heart if she does not make it far. She has her strength, charm, and strategy as positives, but her past realtionships may kill her. The only positive one is with Rocky and opposition towards Brett, Tom, and Sherea could lead to her early elimination. However I hope she can make it to atleast the merge.
[JURY]

Yavapai (Winners Tribe):

Brett -
Only person to make the finals twice in the series, was a couple votes away from being a two time winner. The best part is no one has any idea that he was Matty. This guy is a good player. He does just enough to not be the weakest link, but doesn't put a target on himself. If he can sniff out alliances and make his way into them he could make it far. I wouldn't be on him winning though especially if people find out who he really is.
[JURY]

Julie -
Julie is definately similar to Rob. It depends which Julie shows up to play the game. If Season 4 Julie shows up to play she could really own this game. She is on decently good terms with all CBSURVIVOR4 members (even Jenna who blames Jimmy and not Julie for JULIE voting her out) and is decent at challenges. However if Kelly shows up from last season she could be out early. I really hope Julie shows up because Julie may be the best player in CBSURVIVOR history.
[JURY]

Phillip -
Phillip was awesome in CbSurvivor 4 and is a really strong player. He is the head bitch in charge and always puts a big target on his back. People like when the target isn't on them. However there is one big reason that he will not make it far. That reason is Amanda. He should be save on his first tribe but unless he gets a lucky swap he will be screwed and out-numbered.
[MID/LATE PRE JURY]

Tom -
Similar to Sherea, Tom is really the pioneer of this series. He's a great guy who played wonderfully as Rodger and many argue who had just as much right to win as Brett did. He is a great player and i think he'll come out playing hard again. However I think past realtionships will play a big factor in this game and he doesn't have them.
[JURY - EARLY]

Wendy -
On paper she is probably the number one player to play this game. However she falls to number three behind Julie and Monica when you consider the level of activity in her season. I think people just see cutthroat season 1 winner Wendy and that is a problem for her. Everyone seems to love Kelly, and Kelly hates Wendy. Wendy does not have a lot going for her and if she can prove me wrong and make it far in this game, then maybe I need to reconsider her third place ranking.
[ PRE JURY]

[Carlos Bernard]

Even though Sherea messed up the challenge, i think Steph leaves if they lose.

[Kelly Shinn]

Woops I failed

[Carlos Bernard]

I totally Miscalled Kelly hating Wendy
