Jeff Probst walked onto a boat, with a pleased look on his face.
"We've been looking hard and well for new contestants for the upcoming Survivor Distant. To my luck, over half of the contestants live here, in the Animal Crossing town, known as Distant. I've sent out applications, and to my luck, we got 20 lucky ones.
The contestants started to be lead, by producers, out onto the boat.
"Last one remaining wins a special prize; $1,000,000! Let me give you my perspective of each castaway.

Name: Gaston
Age: 42
Species: Rabbit
Job: Gravedigger
Favorite Past Player: Gabe Fowler (Reals vs. OCs)
Tribe: Zapatera
Jeff's Assessment: Gaston is one of my favorites. He's kind of anti-social, but he's very strong in the challenges, so maybe that'll get him far into the game, but not enough to win.

Name: Mint
Age: 33
Species: Squirrel
Job: Clothes Designer
Favorite Past Player: Midna (Cuties)
Tribe: Zapatera
Jeff's Assessment: Mint is a favorite for me. She's very snobby, but at the same time, I love her remarks about each Survivor on this season. I hope Mint makes people eat their words, and makes it to the end.

Name: Static
Age: 43
Species: Squirrel
Job: Electrician
Favorite Past Player: Dustin Butler (Reals vs. OCs)
Tribe: Ometepe
Jeff's Assessment: I think when people meet Static, I think they are intimidated by his gruff look. But, once challenge time comes, they'll be surprised at how well he does. Then there's this 'Oh great, we have to keep him around, huh?'

Name: Ace
Age: 21
Species: Bird
Job: Poker Player
Favorite Past Player: Jacky Bryant (SEGA All Stars and Fans vs. Favorites)
Tribe: Ometepe
Jeff's Assessment: Ace is one of those guys that is all muscle, and no brain. Sure, he may be a poker player, but he's not bright! However, I'm interested to see how well Ace does in this game. Keep an eye out on him.

Name: Cyrano
Age: 43
Species: Anteater
Job: Photographer
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Ometepe
Jeff's Assessment: Cyrano is a leader, but Cyrano grabs the leadership, and acts like it's no one's business. He's gonna have to fit in well, or else he's an easy target.
– – – – –
Name: Admiral
Age: 41
Species: Bird
Job: Ex Marines Admiral
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Ometepe
Jeff's Assessment: Admiral would've been good in a season like Survivor Marble, but here, I think Admiral might have to be on his toes here. He's very strict, but also charming. We'll find out how Admiral will do very quickly into the show.
– – – – –
Name: Limberg
Age: 41
Species: Mouse
Job: Model
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Ometepe
Jeff's Assessment: Limberg is a dark horse. He's a huge threat to win the game, and it's all based on his strategy that he proposed to me. But, I honestly hope the others find out he's snake, and he'll be gone early.
– – – – –
Name: Lobo
Age: 41
Species: Wolf
Job: Chess Player
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Zapatera
Jeff's Assessment: Lobo is interesting, but I think Lobo is gonna be an early target. He's not the easiest to get along with, but uh, I think Lobo has enough going for him, then against him. We'll see.
– – – – –
Name: Sven
Age: 23
Species: Goat
Job: Fossil Examiner
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Ometepe
Jeff's Assessment: Sven, hands down, my favorite new Survivor. He's a hill billy goat, and we love those kinds of people on the show. Will he go far? I don't think so. But I do think that Sven will go deep.
– – – – –
Name: Tangy
Age: 24
Species: Cat
Job: Student
Favorite Past Player: Natalie Hoffman (Emerald Hill and All-Stars)
Tribe: Zapatera
Jeff's Assessment: Tangy is probably the one that the boys are gonna swoon over. But still, Tangy is around some snobby girls this season, so maybe she'll have a big struggle to get to the top.
– – – – –
Name: Camofrog
Age: 43
Species: Frog
Job: Former General
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Zapatera
Jeff's Assessment: Camofrog's biggest struggle will be to overcome the early annoying role. He wants to be a leader, since he was a general in the army. I hope he sticks around, because he'll be interesting to watch.
– – – – –
Name: Freya
Age: 31
Species: Wolf
Job: Nanny
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Zapatera
Jeff's Assessment: When I met Freya, I liked her the moment I shook her hand. Freya has this method of bringing the men to her side within minutes. With all the jocky guys on this season, it'll be interesting to see what she does with them.
– – – – –
Name: Ed
Age: 25
Species: Horse
Job: Farmer
Favorite Past Player: Freddi Fish (Cuties and Fans vs. Favorites)
Tribe: Zapatera
Jeff's Assessment: Ed is an extremely athletic male, and he has what it takes to win, but I think he'll be on the bubble early, and it's just based on the fact that he's not as rich as the rest. He might be taken out early because he might be a threat to win.
– – – – –
Name: Puddles
Age: 25
Species: Frog
Job: Swim Coach
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Zapatera
Jeff's Assessment: I like Puddles. She's a bright, cheerful girl. She has a lot going for her in life. But the thing working against Puddles is her age. She might be a weakness just based on the fact that she's too girly girl.
– – – – –
Name: Rizzo
Age: 42
Species: Mouse
Job: Minister
Favorite Past Player: Karrington Pepper (Marble)
Tribe: Zapatera
Jeff's Assessment: Rizzo is an odds on favorite when I met him in casting. He's a minister, that supports Atheism. That's just interesting for me, and maybe that'll be the way he plays this game.
– – – – –
Name: Sprocket
Age: 23
Species: Ostrich
Job: Soccer Player
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Ometepe
Jeff's Assessment: Well, Sprocket is the only robotic animal on the show. I think he's gonna be a threat to win challenges. We'll know Sprocket's fate by the merge episode, because if he doesn't win enough challenges, he's gone.
– – – – –
Name: Cousteau
Age: 23
Species: Frog
Job: Sous Chef
Favorite Past Player: Scott McGregor (Emerald Hill)
Tribe: Ometepe
Jeff's Assessment: Cousteau has a great vibe about him, but the only thing working against Cousteau, is his competition side. He's very strong, and uh, I think he's gonna be out by the merge.
– – – – –
Name: Gonzo
Age: 42
Species: Koala
Job: Scientist
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Ometepe
Jeff's Assessment: Gonzo reminds me a little bit of Dongwa Miao from Survivors Reals vs. OCs and All-Stars. He's a bit sneaky, and a bit naïve. Gonzo's best strategy for this game is to get the alliance, and stick to it.
– – – – –
Name: Woolio
Age: 22
Species: Sheep
Job: DJ
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Ometepe
Jeff's Assessment: Thank god we got Woolio on the show. He's the only male sheep in Animal Crossing, and he's also a big conceiver, and he doesn't have to act like one 24/7. He claims that he can slide by and help win challenges.
– – – – –
Name: Ankha
Age: 21
Species: Cat
Job: Model
Favorite Past Player: Angela Anderson (Marble)
Tribe: Zapatera
Jeff's Assessment: If my prediction is right, Ankha will one of the first players voted out. If people find out that she's rich, which is quite easy because of how she looks, then she'ls gone off the bat. But Ankha might surprise me, and I hope she does.
