also Chris Lecompte and Jared Spiehler on the same tribe is something I didn't know I wanted but I feel like I've waited my whole ORG life for this moment
Getting one of the TL;DW's of tonight's release done tonight. I chose to do Chris and Holli since theirs was shorter and a good chunk of it was Blake talking about poop (which is irrelevant to the context of these videos but if you have time skip to the end of their full interview and check it out!)

Legit thought the same thing!
I am dying to see there first interactions with eachother.
Obviously Brian and Jenna will be the two that I will be rooting for this entire season, but I am so pumped to watch Miller and his mom play as well. I think it will be an interesting dynamic to see Brian and Miller playing a game together again due to the lack of trust between them. Although, those two duos are hands down my favorites so far and I love them so much.
I actually started tearing up watching Zac and Zoie's video. Their story hits close to home, and their bond reminds me of me and my sisters. I am so so so excited to watch them and I am rooting for them 100%.
Hi peeps I am here even though it doesn't really matter lol
Okay overall thoughts
- Vicarios = I am excited to see Vic play in a series he has been prod on, Sam I think with her connections and sociableness will make it to jury
- Jesse/Jared - I don't know jared other than what I hear through the grape vine, so it will be interesting to see his game. I am more excited for this duo soley for the reason of Jesse, he gets a lot of heat in the ORG world but I absolutely adore him and think that is people give him a chance he could make it very far.
- Anthony and Nick = They are a middle of the pack paring for me, I like them but not fan girling over them playing
- Ruben and Lexi = they are in powerhouse rn as a duo and honestly they are kinda meh. LOVE them as friends but game wise ruben does everything and lexi just sits there. Kinda want to see something different.
- Brian and Jenna = AHHHHHH!!!!!! Jenna is going to win the season, saying it now. They are one of my top two pairs and I am going to be so excited to see them play.
- Miller and Lisa = based off of last season does this mean I get to watch my mother in law play? Lol jk but in all seriousness I am looking forward to see the interaction this relationship adds to the game. Will miller be miller or will he be calmed down miller. Also hope lisa is a bad ass bitch.
- Brian and Kate = don't know them but their story is the most unique which I love.
- Zac and Zoie = I still need to watch their interview but from what I am hearing they are another pair to watch so yay!
- Chris and Holli = I love holli already, she makes me wanna go watch survivor: maryland.
It's gonna take me a bit to get to the videos, but just wanted to say I'm freaking stoked for Chris and Holli. They are incredibly fun as a duo, both big personalities who are close but clash a LOT. They're both incredibly strategic players and when those strategies don't always mix, fireworks happen. But I do think they'll rely on each other a lot here to start.
Chris played last season so you all know him, but some Holli thoughts: she honestly might be the best social player I've seen in my 5 seasons of running Survivor: Maryland, and great casting--a sorority girl but much more complex than most of them, with a huge competitive streak and love for survivor. She's fantastic at getting people to trust her deeply, on a personal level. I know she's concerned about not being able to have face to face interaction with people, but I think she'll adapt quickly with video chats and calls. My only fear with Holli is that she can be intense at times and people might be intimidated by her as a power player, but I'm pretty hopeful that she can overcome that. Chris I think has a leg up now because of endure familiarity, but she's very dangerous and I'm super excited to see her play.
I haven't said much again but since Corey said some really lovely things about me when I was just starting out in E2, I thought I'd reciprocate.
Corey's a very misunderstood guy. Yeah he's loud and obnoxious and has a temperament, but he's a good dude and a good ally. Corey is probably my longest online friend that I've known, since I was 13, and he's been a top notch guy for me through the last 8 years. He's been there for me for some of the toughest periods of my life, I can't stress how much I love the guy.
I do fear/anticipate Corey is going to slip into the "I know you or I know of you so we're working together" kind of game, whereas I wish he could just open up, socialize, and enjoy his time in the game rather than being paranoid about being voted out or his game going on the downhill. I really hope he does well because he's wanted to play for so long. This is a big cast, and some pretty big personalities. That may help Corey out a little, I hope it will at least.
