Inside of one of the offices of Survivor headquarters, Jeff Probst was sitting in his chair, wearing a Hawaiian shirt, and cargo pants. He also sported sunglasses.
"We're getting ready for the 24th season of Survivor! Now, I know you would love to know who's playing this season, so we're gonna get right into it." smiled Jeff.
Jeff then stood up, walking around the room while talking to the camera, "But I'm not going to share my thoughts on these guys. This time... we're gonna let our previous winners talk about them for us. We have 19 hopefuls coming out here to play the game, and once they get on the island, they'll be confronted with a giant twist, which will involve our 20th player. Boy will they be surprised. Let's meet them!"

Name: Flaky
Series: Happy Tree Friends
Species: Porcupine
Tribe: Maochong
Thoughts by Emerald Hill winner Andrew: I think Flaky has a lot going for her. I think she's going to try her best, but she has a lot to prove. I would give her a chance, but I know many would not, and given that her tribe might be the weaker one, I hope she finds a way to survive.

Name: Issun
Series: Okami
Species: Poncle
Tribe: Maochong
Thoughts by Koopa Beach winner Samantha: So this guy appeared on Survivor: Kattlelox Island as Amaterasu's speaker. Now he's competing by himself in this season. I doubt he'll last long. They tolerated Ammy because she was nice. They won't tolerate Issun. Believe me when I say that.

Name: Trevor Phillips
Series: Grand Theft Auto V
Species: Human
Tribe: Ruchong
Thoughts by Blood vs. Water winner Dixie: Trevor has such a large ego and this crazy serial killer attitude. But we've had Dexter and Sweet Tooth who were killers, but they weren't that insane. Trevor isn't a killer, but he acts like he is. That might cost him in the end if he's not too careful.

Name: Zatanna Zatera
Series: DC Comics
Species: Human
Tribe: Ruchong
Thoughts by Green Hill winner Curtis: If this girl can use her magic to her advantage, dang does she have a leg up on the game. However, she's going to be a threat out of the gate, dawg. If she keeps her head on straight, and thinks things through, she has a decent shot I'd say.
– – – – –
Name: Gadget Hackwrench
Series: Rescue Rangers
Species: Mouse
Tribe: Maochong
Thoughts by Prison Island winner Batgirl: When I heard her interviews, I was amazed. I think she's going to be really ready to play this game, and play hard. She reminds me of myself, almost, but I think just a little bit closer to Kasumi's level then I was.
– – – – –
Name: Shuichi Shindou
Series: Gravitation
Species: Human
Tribe: Maochong
Thoughts by Edenia winner Nightwolf: I think Shuichi's biggest enemy in this game will be his own mouth. He will need to learn when to keep it shut, and what secrets he must not reveal. The spirits will be watching him closely, even if he does not believe in them.
– – – – –
Name: Wade 'Deadpool' Wilson
Series: Marvel Comics
Species: Human
Tribe: Ruchong
Thoughts by Aquatic Ruin winner Metal Mario: Where should I start with Deadpool? He's knows he's on a reality show, and will break the fourth wall often, I bet. Game wise, I don't see him lasting at the merge. I really don't. His annoying nature and ego will end him horribly.
– – – – –
Name: Steven Hyde
Series: That 70s Show
Species: Human
Tribe: Maochong
Thoughts by All-Stars winner Ryo: My first impression of Hyde was that he is very chill, and very observant. I can see him being a quiet individual, like myself, to start things off, and then start making moves when he knows what he needs to know. I have high hopes for a guy like him.
– – – – –
Name: J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter
Series: DC Comics
Species: Martian
Tribe: Ruchong
Thoughts by Redemption Island winner Raine: For once we're getting a super powered player that isn't such a... well... to put it lightly, an idiot. I think J'onn is very intelligent, and I can see him making it very far into this game. If he keeps his patience, and stays loyal, he stands a great shot of winning.
– – – – –
Name: Sakano
Series: Gravitation
Species: Human
Tribe: Ruchong
Thoughts by Forest Maze winner Jiro: He's a nervous wreck, and that's going to ruin anyone's chances of winning the game. But we have seen the craziest ways of seeing someone win this game, so... I'm not counting Sakano out yet. He just has a very tough road ahead of him.
– – – – –
Name: Pink Gold Peach
Series: Mario Bros
Species: Metallic Being
Tribe: Ruchong
Thoughts by Fans vs. Favorites winner Ben: Why I am talking about her, and not Metal Mario? That's what I want to know, since he's... well... you know... oh whatever! Anyway, Pink Gold Peach? Yeah. She's going to be fierce. I'll just say that right now. One fierce, metal princess coming your way.
– – – – –
Name: Orbb
Series: Quake III Arena
Species: Alien
Tribe: Maochong
Thoughts by SEGA All Stars winner Beat: If you remember Ivan from Survivor Koopa Beach? Well... this is Ivan. On legs! So not as useless as Ivan, you know? However I just can't see Orbb lasting any longer then 10 days out here in the game. It's just not made for him.
– – – – –
Name: Glaceon
Series: Pokemon
Species: Pokemon
Tribe: Maochong
Thoughts by Kattlelox Island winner Reala: Glaceon has a strong soul in him. He's raising a simple family with his beloved and majestic leafy princess, so he says. If he fights hard, perhaps he'll win this game, but he's going to grow into a threat to win, and like many smart players, those players go early.
– – – – –
Name: Serena
Series: Pokemon
Species: Human
Tribe: Maochong
Thoughts by Destiny Isles winner Rain: Serena is a young woman trying to become a good Pokemon trainer. I know little to nothing about Pokemon, so don't blame me for not knowing. If she can get into a good alliance, I believe she'll do very well in this game. Especially when she merges.
– – – – –
Name: Felicia
Series: Darkstalkers
Species: Catgirl
Tribe: Maochong
Thoughts by Unfinished Business winner Garrus: Well, I think Felicia is a young woman with a lot of inspiration. I think she'll have to play hard if she wants to win, but can she? That's what I'm concerned about. She has the passion and the courage, but the gameplay? We'll have to see.
– – – – –
Name: Pinkie Pie
Series: Equestria Girls
Species: Human
Tribe: Ruchong
Thoughts by Heroes vs. Villains winner Jordan: So our first pony contestant that's... well, not a pony? Kind of interesting, I guess? She's not a winner, man. She's going to be funny, and make people laugh, but... is that really going to work for her in the end? I don't know, and I'm leaning towards no.
– – – – –
Name: Sorlag
Series: Quake III Arena
Species: Sorg
Tribe: Ruchong
Thoughts by Cuties winner Flareon: Sorlag reminds me a lot of Sheeva from Survivor: Edenia. Big, strong, few social skills, and prone to causing chaos in camp. If Sorlag can get into an alliance to carry her through the game, she's fine. Otherwise, she's an instant target, I think.
– – – – –
Name: Ilyana
Series: Fire Emblem
Species: Human
Tribe: Ruchong
Thoughts by Virmire winner Mordin: Ilyana. Very quiet, very smart young woman. Has a lot of wit within her. Don't see her making it very far. Could be an easy target at first tribal council? Could be a threat to win individual immunity. Need to observe a little closer.
– – – – –
Name: Toadette
Series: Mario Bros
Species: Toad
Tribe: Maochong
Thoughts by Reals vs. OCs winner Squall: The youngest woman out here, Toadette... well for one thing I think one thing that will help her in this game is her sweet nature, and good social skills. But if she appears to fail her tribe in challenges, she won't last long. Sad to say, but it's true.

"Thank you, previous winners!" smiled Jeff, snapping his suitcase shut, "Now it's time for me to get ready to begin filming the season."
Just before he was about to leave, the four other previous winners who didn't share any thoughts on the players; Cousteau, Robert, Tatsuki, and En-Tee-I, entered the office one by one. They were the winners of Distant, Marble, Packers, and Ultimates respectively.
"Oh hey guys, didn't expect you to show up." said Jeff, a little amazed.
"We just came over when we heard the news!" smiled Robert.
Cousteau nodded, "Yes, indeed, oui oui! So.. tell us, is it true?"
"Is what true?" questioned Jeff, a little curious.
Tatsuki rolled her eyes, "Don't toy with us, Jeff... you know what we're talking about."
"Oh right!" laughed Jeff, remembering what it was, "Well... yes, it is true. But I don't have the time to chat about it, gotta catch the plane before it leaves without me. Another season, another year." He gave a nod to the four winners, and exited the office.
Tatsuki turned her head to look at En-Tee-I, "Think he'll last long?"
En-Tee-I shook himself, "Once they know what's up, not long."
