Jeff Probst was sitting on a rock, and there was a remarkable view of the Cascade Kingdom behind him. He was practicing what he wanted to say for the cast assessment of Survivor: Cascade Kingdom.
The cameraman filming Probst gave him the cue they were going to start the recording in a minute. Probst nodded as he was ready to assess each of the 18 castaways.
The cameraman gave Probst the signal, "Welcome! We're about ready to assess the 9 remarkable Blood vs. Water duos of Survivor: Cascade Kingdom!" announced an excited Jeff Probst.
Brothers: Mario/Luigi
Connection: Blood
Jeff's Assessment: Mario is going to be either loved by his tribe or hated. He is going to try to be a leader of his alliance. His success will be determined by how many people he rubs the wrong way. On the other hand, his brother Luigi is the exact opposite. Luigi is going to be silent, but deadly in this game. If he makes it past the first week or so, the other players are going to regret not voting him out the first chance they had.
Princesses: Peach/Daisy
Connection: Water
Jeff's Assessment: Although these two girls have very similar lifestyles, their personalities couldn't be more different. Peach is more quiet and sociable. She's most likely going to be more passive throughout the game and rely on her social game. Daisy, on the other hand, is aggressive and more physically fit than Peach. However, they both are very loyal girls, so if they can find themselves aligned with the right people, they will go far.
Dating: Yoshi/Birdo
Connection: Water
Jeff's Assessment: Yoshi is going to have a much easier time adapting to the variety of other personalities. Birdo will either be one of the first three out or be in the final 3. If she can relate to the people in her tribe, she will be set. Yoshi will need to be able to know when people are lying to him if he wants a chance in this game.
Father & Son: Bowser/Ludwig
Connection: Blood
Jeff's Assessment: Bowser has zero social skills whatsoever. He's going to win people onto his side by fear alone, but I'm not sure if that will be enough. Ludwig has the highest IQ going into the game and by a lot. If he's able to not have a "shady" reputation, I think he's a serious contender to win the game.
Cousins: Toad/Toadette
Connection: Blood
Jeff's Assessment: Toad and Toadette are both the lightest contestants this season. However, they are both very likable and smart, so if they can get to the merge stage they will be in a great spot. Toadette is more likely to stab you in the back, but Toad is loyal until the end. They both have the potential to be the first one out, or the sole survivor.
Galaxy Friends: Rosalina/Luna
Connection: Water
Jeff's Assessment: Rosalina is not only a hero but a furious leader in her everyday life. Luna, however, is shy and a follower. They make a great team while protecting galaxies from destruction, so I wouldn't think survivor would be any different. Their only problems will be that people will become too intimidated by Rosalina, and not intimidated enough by Luna.
Siblings: Bomb/Bombette
Connection: Blood
Jeff's Assessment: Bomb and Bombette both have high tempers on them. The difference between them is Bomb is usually a nice guy, while Bombette is always mean. They both can rub people the wrong way very easily. Bomb needs to make people comfortable with him or he will go nowhere in this game. Bombette needs to do just the opposite, and let people think they are using her when in reality she is in control.
Siblings: Dixie/Diddy
Connection: Blood
Jeff's Assessment: These monkeys come from a different walk of life than the other castaways. Diddy is the more likable one, and Dixie is the more strategic one. They both are physically fit as well and will do good in the challenges. The main obstacle for them is going to be blending in with everyone else and getting people to trust them.
Co-workers: Dry Bones/Queen Boo
Connection: Water
Jeff's Assessment: These two co-workers are suited for various team building activities. Dry Bones is more of a chill guy and wants to have fun with everyone. He's going to care more about who he keeps in the game, rather than who he is getting rid of. Queen Boo, on the other hand, is a stone cold bitch. She doesn't get along with people who think differently than her. It's going to be very difficult for her to get to the end, but if she does I think she will have the jury's respect.
Author's Note: The characters only know their partner. They will have no prior knowledge of any of the other castaways existence until they see them on Cascade Kingdom.
Chapter 2 will be out on Sunday, September 2nd. Feel Free to leave a review and let me know what you think so far! :)
