Jeff Probst was sitting at his desk, interviewing several past players from previous seasons of Survivor. He was dressed equally nice for a change.
He looked up at the camera when it came into view. He smiled, "I can't believe we've finally arrived to the final season of Survivor. It's been 33 long, hard seasons... but we're finally here. For this season, all 32 Sole Survivors will be facing off against one another to determine who truly is the best player to ever play this game."
Suddenly, the door opened, and out popped Jeff's amiibo, Trinity. She became his personal assistant after the events of Survivor Waterfall.
"Everyone's waiting to be interviewed, Mr. Probst!" smiled Trinity, showing a ton more emotion than she ever did before, "Shall I send in the first person?"
Jeff nodded, "Yes please, Trinity! For this cast list, we've decided to ask several previous players to assess the winners alongside me. Let's get started with the Selu tribe!"

THE SELU TRIBE
– – – – –
Name: Curtis Guerrero
Season/s: Green Hill / All-Stars
Series: OC
Occupation: Football Coach
Jeff's Assessment: Curtis is the very first person to ever win Survivor. He was cocky, he was extremely loyal to his alliance. Many say he only won Green Hill because of Will drawing the purple rock. I think he won Green Hill because he played a highly respectable game. Clearly he was doing something right if he defeated the superfan Kevin. I think this season, Curtis will have a very difficult time fitting in, and I think he will be one of the first to go.
Green Hill finalist Kevin's Assessment: Curtis 100% intimidated me when I first met him 16 years ago, and he still does to this date! I think Jeff is right when he says that Curtis must have done something right. He was riding our coattails, but the jury respected him far more than Jess or I. I think this season, Curtis is going to have a rough time without Will or I to help him play.

Name: Nightwolf
Season/s: Edenia
Series: Mortal Kombat
Occupation: Shaman
Jeff's Assessment: Nightwolf won Edenia very easily after treating the Outworld tribe with respect, and not with violence. Sometimes the way to treat the minority is to treat them with fairness, even if they don't show it back. Nightwolf is good at managing relationships, and keeping everyone in line. He kept Earthrealm together after Raiden was blindsided, and he propelled himself to victory easy. This season, I have no doubt Nightwolf will be one of the favorites to win again.
Edenia finalist Sub-Zero's Assessment: Nightwolf may not be one of the biggest names in Earthrealm, but he's certainly someone who deserved to win the game. That's saying a lot considering who else won the game before and after him. I believe Nightwolf will play with honor before reason, and he will never do something that will compromise his integrity.
– – – – –
Name: Metal Mario
Season/s: Aquatic Ruin / Ultimates
Series: Super Mario Bros.
Occupation: N/A
Jeff's Assessment: Metal Mario was not one I expected to win on Day 1 of Aquatic Ruin. Mostly because he was one of the strongest that season, and someone would take him out the minute he lost a challenge. However... Metal Mario I think held back. And then he managed to make the biggest move of the game! Metal Mario is clearly not to be misjudged, or you may just find yourself wishing you had in the first place.
Aquatic Ruin finalist Harry's Assessment: Metal Mario and I go way back. He should thank me for his win by the way. I gave him a million dollars! I don't ever recall hearing a "Thank You" or anything! But it's all good I guess. Metal Mario's not to be messed with, and I know that from experience. Don't let this guy get to the end, or he will win again!
– – – – –
Name: Benjamin 'Ben' Tan
Season/s: Green Hill / Fans vs. Favorites / Heroes vs. Villains
Series: OC
Occupation: Comedian
Jeff's Assessment: I think it's no secret that Ben is one of the most recognizable, and one of the best players to ever play in the series. He's smart, his social game is on point, and he knows this game back to front. I don't think you could craft a better Survivor player. My main concern with Ben is... how far has he come? Is he a burned out flame, or does he have gas left in the tank to surprise all of us in this Final Showdown? We'll wait and see.
Fans vs. Favorites finalist Tyler's Assessment: I made a lot of mistakes in Fans vs. Favorites, and I think you know one of them. Ben's just... he's crafty. He makes you think you're safe, and have a good chance to work well with him, and then... the knife gets a little sharper. I think Ben's going to be taken out fairly early out here because of his reputation.
– – – – –
Name: Marge Simpson
Season/s: Dingo Canyon
Series: The Simpsons
Occupation: Housewife
Jeff's Assessment: Marge was a completely shocking winner on my end. I truly did not think she had what it took to win the game after she played such a passive low key game. However, that doesn't mean I don't respect her game. Games in Survivor come in different sizes, and Marge was one of the smaller ones, no doubt. However, out here, Marge will ever go very far... or go out very quickly. She's one of the oldest, and one of the weakest.
Dingo Canyonfinalist Dr. Mario's Assessment: I'm still bitter about my loss. Don't get me wrong on that. I played one of the most perfect games in Survivor history, and I lost to... a freaking mother of all people. Thankfully, we're going into a season where strategy means everything! Marge needs to play the game, or she's going to get bombed at the final vote,
– – – – –
Name: Mickey Gomez
Season/s: Yoshi Desert
Series: OC
Occupation: N/A
Jeff's Assessment: Mickey was one of the most interesting looking fans we've ever had on the show. Purple mohawk, red beard, we knew this guy was going to be one of the favorites... and he was! He ultimately won the show by making the right moves at the right time. However, my concern with Mickey this season is... that he has to be on his toes every step of the way. He has to make moves to stay in the running, or else he's going to go out very early.
Yoshi Desertfinalist Angel's Assessment: Surprisingly I have no problems with Mickey. I think he was nice guy and he played an okay game in Yoshi Desert. Now, I'm not being mean or cruel here, but I don't see him winning. All Mickey did was do whatever Jake told him to. However, I do see him going pretty far especially up against thirty-one other contestants, but there will be no way he can win.
– – – – –
Name: Ryo Hazuki
Season/s: SEGA All Stars / All-Stars
Series: Shenmue
Occupation: Student
Jeff's Assessment: I don't think many would look at Ryo Hazuki, and immediately know that this is the same guy that won Survivor All-Stars. Nobody expected him to pull it off. Especially up against legends like Will and Andrew. Ryo's going to play a very loyal game, and I can see him making a few low key moves here and there, but I just don't see Ryo pulling it off once again. He's charming and smart, but he's going to be a major threat down the road.
All-Starsfinalist Will's Assessment: You know what, I lost All-Stars fair and square. I knew I made mistakes, so I can't say that Ryo didn't deserve to win at all. I think Ryo's going to be underestimated. You know he's going to lay low, avoid the chopping block, and just play the game like he would any other season. You don't mess with someone like Ryo.
– – – – –
Name: Dixie Kong
Season/s: Blood vs. Water
Series: Donkey Kong Country
Occupation: N/A
Jeff's Assessment: Dixie Kong... I don't know how she managed to pull it off. She was up against mother and daughter and... I think she was as surprised as the rest of us that she was able to win against Danielle. Dixie definitely had her boyfriend now husband backing her up. Out here, Diddy won't be here, so I think Dixie will have to be on her feet if she wants to have a chance to win Survivor a second time. She is one of the physical threats, after all.
Blood vs. Water & Yoshi Desertfinalist Danielle's Assessment: I absolutely adore Dixie! She's still one of my best friends after our time in Blood vs. Water! Umm.. I know Dixie will play just like she did before, because, well if it worked the first time, it could work the second time! She just has to be more careful, because she is a threat!

THE HEICHEU TRIBE
– – – – –
Name: Cousteau
Season/s: Distant
Series: Animal Crossing
Occupation: Sous Chef
Jeff's Assessment: Distant was a season where he ran low on production costs, and after the season wasn't... getting the rating we expected, we had to cancel it. Cousteau is usually called one of the worst winners ever because of that. He did win against two people who played very strong strategic games, and he only won because he was the lesser of three evils. Cousteau... he's a major wild card because most of the good he had showed in the episodes we didn't air.
Distantfinalist Cyrano's Assessment: I can't be rough on Cousteau. He's a good kid, and he's aged well into being a good father to his daughter, ah-CHOO. I still can't believe he and Tangy actually had a... 'tad-kitten'. Oh well. I do think Cousteau will be someone nobody will see coming. I cannot say if that is a good or bad thing for him.
– – – – –
Name: Beat
Season/s: SEGA All Stars / All-Stars / Heroes vs. Villains
Series: Jet Set Radio
Occupation: Rudie
Jeff's Assessment: Beat started Survivor as an average dude just wanting to help out his tribe win a few challenges here and there. Then he started pulling out the stops, and worked out his magic in turning the game around in his favor. People didn't like his win back then, and I don't think much has changed. Beat's going to be a massive target out here, so he will have to make sure he keeps the target off of him, and puts it on someone else.
SEGA All Starsfinalist Banjo's Assessment: I took Beat to the end of SEGA All Stars knowing my chances against him were greater than against Sonic. I think Beat rubs a lot of people the wrong way at times, but I also feel like he knows the right things to say at the right times. That 'manipulating Ryo to vote for him' thing? That really wasn't the case in the end.
– – – – –
Name: Jiro
Season/s: Forest Maze / Ultimates
Series: Blue Dragon
Occupation: Shadow Master
Jeff's Assessment: Jiro played almost a near perfect game back in the Forest Maze. Sure, he did win against an outcast, but he made the moves he made for the purpose of taking a stand. He stood against the likes of Zaeed Massani, and got away with it. He voted out his best friend Duck in order to win. Jiro pulls no punches, and I do not expect him to hold back out here. He's a low key threat to win the game if nobody is careful.
Forest Mazefinalist Judith's Assessment: I believe Jiro's grown up a lot since Forest Maze, and while I believe he's someone not to take lightly, I have a gut feeling he will slide under the radar once again. He was eliminated early on in Ultimates, so nobody knows what he's capable of in a true All-Star season. We will have to wait and see for him.
– – – – –
Name: Aladdin
Season/s: Lake Hylia
Series: Aladdin
Occupation: Master Thief
Jeff's Assessment: I have no idea how Aladdin pulled it off. I seriously don't know how he did it. He played like a thief would; hardcore, and he struck when nobody expected him to. He made moves when it was time to make a move, and I'm still surprised he made it to Day 39 without a single vote cast against him. Aladdin's definitely going to be one of the biggest threats out here from Day 1, but I have a feeling he might just be able to make it pretty far.
Lake Hyliafinalist Lucina's Assessment: Compared to some of the more questionable winners, I highly respect Aladdin's game. He never really made an effort to go out of his way to personally ruin the games of others just to help his own. He played with passion, heart, and held strong to the very end. I do believe he's going to have problems throughout the Final Showdown, though.
– – – – –
Name: Reala
Season/s: Kattlelox Island
Series: NiGHTS Into Dreams
Occupation: Nightmaren
Jeff's Assessment: Like I said about Aladdin, I still don't know how Reala was able to pull it off. Unlike Aladdin though, Reala had easy competition in the Final Tribal Council. My fear for Reala this season is that he won't really be able to get away with being red objects anymore. Everyone will be suspicious about him, and he will have to play a different way than he did in Kattlelox Island in order to make it very far in the game.
Kattlelox Islandfinalist Morrigan's Assessment: I do give my credit to Reala because credit is where credit is due, and Reala played the best game out of any villain I've seen in recent memory. He made everyone in his alliance feel comfortable, but he intimidates the others outside of his alliance. If this man can get a good alliance going, he will be safe for a long time in the game.
– – – – –
Name: Samantha
Season/s: Koopa Beach
Series: OC
Occupation: N/A
Jeff's Assessment: Samantha is seriously one of the biggest question marks of the entire season, because you just don't know what she's going to do. She's a diva, she's jealous of all the pretty girls, but it's been 13 years since she last played! It might help her game that she's the only woman on her tribe, but I just don't think Samantha can pull it off a second time. I just feel like she's going to be completely out of her element.
Koopa Beachfinalist Rachel's Assessment: Samantha is known for being the very first female to win the series, but... I dunno, I feel like, just like with Curtis, she doesn't really represent being the first very well. I mean, when you get really good winners like Ben and Raine seasons later, you really don't think much about her. I do wish the best for Samantha though, she's a good friend.
– – – – –
Name: Rain
Season/s: Edenia / Destiny Isles
Series: Mortal Kombat
Occupation: Half-God / Claimed Prince of Edenia
Jeff's Assessment: With two 'Rain's on the season, it might become very confusing on who is who. We will be referring to this Rain as "Prince Rain" whenever they happen to be on the same tribe. As for Rain himself, I feel like he was a very unexpected winner coming off of Edenia. He was eliminated Day 2, never getting a chance, and he comes back next season and wins it all! I don't think Rain can win again, though, but I could be proven wrong once again.
Destiny Islesfinalist Vixey's Assessment: I know I could have done something to help my chances back in Destiny Isles, but... that's just not me. Rain deserved his win, so I can't be mad at him for playing the way he did. I believe Rain's going to be a little arrogant given how he won the game, and I fear that could cost him the entire game.
– – – – –
Name: Littlefoot
Season/s: Pirate Lagoon
Series: Land Before Time
Occupation: Dinosaur
Jeff's Assessment: Littlefoot is one of my personal favorites to ever play the game. Littlefoot reminded me that this is more than just a game. It was an experience. We know exactly what will happen to Littlefoot's world give or take a hundred years so... to watch Littlefoot play the game and grow up, it's really heartwarming. For his second chance... I hate to say it, but I think Littlefoot will have an extremely hard time to make it far.
Pirate Lagoonfinalist Tanya's Assessment: I've completely gotten over my loss, compared to... certain other individuals, but I won't speak their names. Littlefoot is going to have a very hard time making it as far as he did. I doubt there will be anyone willing to drag him to the end again, so I don't think we have to worry about him winning.

THE FASASAGA TRIBE
– – – – –
Name: Flareon
Season/s: Cuties / Heroes vs. Villains
Series: Pokemon
Occupation: N/A
Jeff's Assessment: Flareon evolved from her Eevee form many, many seasons ago, and she's been in training preparing to play Survivor one final time. She's a lot stronger then she once was as an Eevee, so I believe Flareon is going to be ready more than ever compared to her last two seasons. She still says she's still an emotional pokemon, so I wouldn't be surprised if she has another breakdown again, but I have faith that Flareon can win.
Cutiesfinalist Midna's Assessment: You know what, I have a lot of faith that Flareon can impress everyone watching this season. I was upset that I lost to her 13 years ago... but you know what? It's not that big of a deal. She played a good social game, and I failed, so whatever. Looking at her competition, if she plays her cards right, she might be able to pull it off.
– – – – –
Name: Barbara 'Batgirl' Gordon
Season/s: Prison Island
Series: DC Comics
Occupation: Superhero
Jeff's Assessment: Batgirl perfected the strategy of being a strong female player, and made it work with a solid alliance. She learned well under Kasumi Goto, and I think going into this season, I think Batgirl is going to try to play a more strategic game, since by the time she merged, she really didn't have to strategize to get her alliance to the end. She relied on her physical skills, so.. I have good hopes for Batgirl, but she's going to have an uphill battle.
Prison Islandfinalist Pepper's Assessment: Aw yeah! Batgirl's one of my best friends from Prison Island, and I'm so hype to see her kick some more ass out here! I think she's going to have to make friends, get into a good alliance, and just keep things in working order! That was her best skill in Bad Girls Syndicate; keeping everyone in line! I have good hopes for Babs!
– – – – –
Name: Garrus Vakarian
Season/s: Virmire / Unfinished Business
Series: Mass Effect
Occupation: C-Sec Officer
Jeff's Assessment: I think one thing I love about Vakarian is the fact that he takes no crap from anyone. Whether that be reapers, villains, or even playing Survivor. He won all the jury votes in Unfinished Business, and wasn't even given a chance to play in Virmire. Out here, I think Vakarian's biggest problem is going to be avoiding the chopping block. He has a connection with Mordin, and he has to share the leadership role with Andrew, so he's going to have an uphill battle.
Unfinished Businessfinalist Kitana's Assessment: I may have lost to Garrus in Unfinished Business, but I don't hold any bitterness towards him. He played a far superior game, and I knew I made plenty of mistakes out there. I believe Garrus is going to have problems out here for his third time. He will have a target on his back from Day 1, and I don't know how he will avoid the chopping block.
– – – – –
Name: Isabelle
Season/s: Beach Bowl Galaxy
Series: Animal Crossing
Occupation: Mayor
Jeff's Assessment: Isabelle and her husband Villager dominated most of the central issues in Beach Bowl Galaxy. While Villager definitely did more for the couple, Isabelle had her relationships formed to help them in the background. Isabelle managed to win because she kept her alliances and friendships under control, while Villager made a few mistakes here and there. I don't know how Isabelle will play without her husband around, so I don't see her pulling out another win.
Beach Bowl Galaxyfinalist Villager's Assessment: Isabelle knows this game, and loves the game. We've watched it ever since our town was under focus in the tenth season. I don't think Isabelle is that big of a threat compared to the others on her tribe. I think she has a good chance to go far and potentially pull out another win. I'm biased, but I'm also honest.
– – – – –
Name: Jordan Smith
Season/s: Green Hill / Heroes vs. Villains
Series: OC
Occupation: Football Coach
Jeff's Assessment: I never would have expected someone like Jordan to win Heroes vs. Villains. He definitely didn't fulfill the villain role when he came back, and I think he tried to play a little more heroic as opposed to Green Hill. Even then, the reasons he was a villain were a little odd. Because Will was a hero, he had to be a villain. Jordan's a major wild card this season. You don't know how he's going to play. He might play like a hero, or a villain. Who knows.
Blood vs. Waterfinalist Lady's Assessment: There are a lot of people coming in from Heroes vs. Villains, so I feel like for Jordan's sake, he would be better off trying to make new bonds and new alliances. I know there's going to be a major target on the backs of everyone who made the Final 4 in that season. I can't speak much on Jordan, but I wish him luck.
– – – – –
Name: Andrew Miller
Season/s: Emerald Hill / All-Stars / Heroes vs. Villains
Series: OC
Occupation: Hockey Coach
Jeff's Assessment: Andrew was probably one of the first winners that.. I think nobody had anything bad to say about him. He was likable, he was a leader, he was just... the All American man. He won 7-0, and then he came back... and kinda gave up at the end. He probably could have won again had he tried in All-Stars. Coming back for his fourth time, I'm pretty sure he wants to be the first and only two time winner just as bad as anyone else this season.
Emerald Hillfinalist Peter's Assessment: I get a lot of flak for taking Andrew, but truthfully, there was no way I was winning. He really deserved to win over Arlando, so that's why I took him to the end. Andrew's going to have such a massive target on his back it's not even funny. I just hope for the life of me that he can at least make it to the merge.
– – – – –
Name: Mordin Solus
Season/s: Virmire / Ultimates
Series: Mass Effect
Occupation: STG Scientist
Jeff's Assessment: Mordin was an underdog through and through during Virmire. He wasn't seen as a threat mostly because the other players always had another target. Whether that was Grune or Moses was besides the point. He managed to win over Kasumi Goto, and that says a lot about Mordin as a player. Mordin's definitely someone who analyzes every situation he's in, and plays up being a salarian, as his race isn't as dangerous compared to.. say... a turian.
Virmirefinalist Kasumi's Assessment: Mordin's an old friend. I can't take away his credit for winning the game in Virmire. You can say I was robbed, but I lost fair and square. I messed up, he didn't. Either way, I don't think Mordin can pull it out again. He's too... quirky to say the least. His mannerisms, the way he talks, nobody will want to put up with that for long. Certainly not in a serious season.
– – – – –
Name: Cereza 'Bayonetta'
Season/s: Waterfall
Series: Bayonetta
Occupation: Umbre Witch
Jeff's Assessment: Bayonetta played probably one of the dirtiest games ever in the history of the series. She blackmailed father and daughter Frederick and Nah, she literally stole a triple idol key, and managed to pretty much use every advantage to her ability. Sadly... Bayonetta literally has a 0% chance of winning again. Being from a recent season, everyone will have a gun pointed at her and ready to fire whenever they're ready to. Bayonetta... she'll be lucky if she merges.
Waterfallfinalist Snap's Assessment: Half of the crap Bayonetta got away with were because we were all stupid newbies! I still can't believe having watched the season after it filmed she did everything she did, and still won! Trust me, if we got to vote after the season was finished airing, I probably win instead! Ah well... good thing we won't have to watch her for a very long time.
– – – – –
THE JONETO TRIBE
– – – – –
Name: Zatanna Zatera
Season/s: Singapore
Series: DC Comics
Occupation: Magician
Jeff's Assessment: I think Zatanna gets a little too much hate for the game she played. Certainly not a good winner, but I feel like she just got lucky way too many times. I think for her second chance, she has to pull out all the stops. She knows she won't be a threat right out of the gate, so she will be able to use that to her advantage. Does she have a chance? Absolutely, but one wrong move, and she's going home pretty quick.
Singaporefinalist Glaceon's Assessment: I give a lot of credit to Zatanna. She was able to do the one thing my friend Serena failed to; eliminate her best ally, and move forward without him. Voting off J'onn definitely helped Zatanna's game. She is not afraid to make big moves, and that's what I respect most about her. I have a lot of hope for Zatanna to win again.
– – – – –
Name: Steven Hyde
Season/s: Singapore / Battle Royale
Series: That '70s Show
Occupation: Student
Jeff's Assessment: Hyde played a very balanced game out of almost any winner. He had a good social game, he had a good physical game, and when he tried, he had a good strategic game. Being from a recent season, Hyde will have a target on his back, so he will have to play extremely careful. If he makes one wrong move, he goes home. If he makes one right move, it might be the difference between making the jury again, or winning again.
Battle Royalefinalist Shulk's Assessment: I think Hyde is going to have a rough time out here. He's arrogant, and I think people are going to see right through his 'stoner' attitude. I really don't care if he is one or not, but he puts on a good show to make it seem like he's a non-entity or threat. But in reality, he's playing the game, and that's going to haunt him if he pulls that.
– – – – –
Name: Robert Keel
Season/s: Marble / Heroes vs. Villains
Series: OC
Occupation: Special Needs Teacher
Jeff's Assessment: Robert was one of the first underdogs to win Survivor. His two closest allies were wiped out within almost 24 hours. However, after Mime and Enoch left, he was able to finally get through that he wasn't a threat, and that others were. Robert has had an interesting Survivor history, so I think he's another wild card going into Final Showdown. He could go really, really far, or he could be one of the first to go home.
Marble & Heroes vs. Villainsplayer Shohn's Assessment: Man, I give all the credit in the world to Robert. He really knows the stuff we don't even think about, and I was almost a fool not to listen to him. Like that one episode claimed, man, he was the boy who cried Shohn. I think Robert will be underestimated out there, man. He ain't a pushover, that's for sure.
– – – – –
Name: En-Tee-I
Season/s: Redemption Island / Ultimates
Series: Iggy's Reckin' Balls
Occupation: Racer
Jeff's Assessment: En-Tee-I... I can't say a lot about him. He's an alien ball.. and he's probably the smartest person in this entire cast. His IQ is through the roofs... but I don't think he's that great of a player. In Redemption Island, he was out of the loop so many times, and in Ultimates, he made the Viva la Resistance alliance meant to take down Sweet Tooth... only for Sweet Tooth to be the one to take down most of it! However... En-Tee-I isn't to be underestimated.
Ultimatesfinalist Kratos' Assessment: En-Tee-I is too smart for his own good. I dare say his size and appearance make him out to be far weaker than he should be. I let my guard down around him, and that was my downfall in Ultimates. I believe in this final showdown, En-Tee-I will be one of the threats early on. If he makes the merge, he better be prepared to win immunity countless times.
– – – – –
Name: Squall Leonhart
Season/s: Reals vs. OCs / All-Stars
Series: Final Fantasy VIII
Occupation: SeeD Agent
Jeff's Assessment: Squall had an interesting game during Reals vs. OCs. He was in the minority after Laharl was voted off, but then he became a key player in Angry Video Game Nerd's alliance. After that, he and Dongwa Miao were able to run the show and eliminate the rest of the OCs. Squall may be rusty in Survivor since All-Stars, but I think that gives Squall a good advantage out here. He could go very far in the game if he plays his cards right.
Reals vs. OCsfinalist Dongwa's Assessment: Glad to be back to talk about my good friend Squall! Listen, I think Squall has a big heart, and I know he's a badass! He's going to go into Final Showdown, and prove that he has the strategy and the game he had before. Like Jeff said, he's going to be seen as a non-threat given how long it's been for him, so that's a great advantage for him!
– – – – –
Name: Etna
Season/s: Cuties / Heroes vs. Villains / Last Chances
Series: Disgaea
Occupation: Laharl's Vassel
Jeff's Assessment: Etna is one of the most consistent players to ever play Survivor. She always made the Final 3, and only did better every season after Cuties. While I don't think Last Chances was her best game, that doesn't mean she's a bad player. Etna's definitely the best female to ever play the game, but doesn't compare to Will or Ben Tan. This season... combined with relevance and recency... Etna's target is going to be massive. If she makes the merge again, I will be shocked.
Last Chancesfinalist Deadpool's Assessment: Sniff. My final appearance in the series... and it's going to be spent talking about the person I allowed to let win last season. Yeah, that's right, I deserve a bit of that million dollars since I literally gave her the win! I could have won immunity! For once, Jeff is right. She's going out as the first Joneto boot. If she doesn't, I will go out drinking with Sans.
– – – – –
Name: Tatsuki Arisawa
Season/s: Packers
Series: Bleach
Occupation: Student
Jeff's Assessment: Tatsuki is one of the biggest challenge threats we have on the season right now. She won a lot of challenges that could rival that of Peter's in Emerald Hill. My only problem with Tatsuki is that... well... she really didn't have much of a game. She got as far as she did because of her immunity streak. Not to mention the sympathy Soi Fon showed after Haruhi harassed her. In the end, Tatsuki will have a tough time making it to the end again.
Packersfinalist Soi Fon's Assessment: Let us not discuss my decision to take Tatsuki to the end. Tatsuki was a friend in our original season of Hueco Mundo. That's all I will say. She's going to be a threat no matter how she plays the game. She could hide under the radar, and she will still be seen as a massive threat. She will have to make the right alliances to make it far.
– – – – –
Name: Raine Sage
Season/s: Redemption Island / Ultimates
Series: Tales of Symphonia
Occupation: Teacher
Jeff's Assessment: Raine Sage is one of my favorite players of all time. She's witty, she's got attitude, and if you piss her off, get ready to feel the back of her hand against your head. Over the years since Ultimates, she's... developed a rather sudden fear of the water. Yeah, I'm surprised as much as you are. But really, Raine is going to be a threat going into the season, and she will have to play the hardest she's ever played if she wishes to win again.
Redemption Islandfinalist Bambi's Assessment: I really respected Raine during Redemption Island, and I think she was one of the nicest people out there. I was not mad when she won, because I felt like she deserved it. My fear with Raine is that she won't be able to keep the spotlight off of her early on. She's smart, but she's not the strongest physically. That could be a problem.

Jeff smiled at the camera, "The winners are going to be in for one hell of a ride when Final Showdown begins. After the first boot, the Box of Twists will come out, and change the game like never before! Not to mention... hidden immunity idols? Extremely hard to find, and clues will come very sparingly. If the winners can't find idols, they will have to rely on their strategy."
"Please join us this Tuesday for the premiere of Survivor Final Showdown!" smiled Jeff.

Final Showdown will begin on June 21st! Get ready for a crazy, yet very long season!
Also, if anyone is willing to do it, would anyone like to do Season Reviews for each of my seasons? I'm curious to hear the full assessment on all the seasons based on everyone else's opinion rather than my own. Maybe I'm the delusional one, and the ones I really like are the ones nobody likes! XD
