Cast impressions: I expect the first boot to be the half-witted idiotic irrelevant imbecile Constance. Glad to see Ricky beat her to be the captain but also sad because that means there will be someone illogically victimized by his coaching again just because he's a hating control freak ?. Hopefully DD runs shit on this team. I like the good guys more than the "badasses". Last season Kate was involved in a Love Triangle of her , Carlos, and the inside of Ricky's Ass. Another love ? this season but this time with Gabe instead of Carlos? ?? Rooting for Patia and Fabi on this team. I expect someone like Patia to win.

PreSeason Prediction/Opinions: Looks like for once in a game Gabe won't be first boot! Kate VS Heather are proving themselves first at the inferno... Victoria vs Kathy epic battle Favorites: David, Felix, Patia, Fabi, Noah, Mike, Woods, Whitney (Maybe Kate depending how far up Ricky's ass she is) People I want out ASAP: Constance. Potential Winner: Felix I can't wait to see Constance square the fuck up, take that wig off and fight Ricky.

The Badasses
Banks After a pretty dismal excuse to depart Tibet early, Banks returns for redemption. I'm looking forward to seeing how he adapts in The iCha11enge, he's a proven competitor and when he applies himself he is quite smart. Judging by the line-up of the Badasses I can see him being a very valuable asset.
Constance Throwing Constance into the Badasses roster can be somewhat confusing, she is known for misreading the room and not really grasping the seriousness of the situation presented. Her intentions may be good but if you want to get thrown into the Inferno with anybody I'd want to take on, and defeat, Constance.
Davis The boyfriend of Tibet alumn Tierra, Davis attemped to make his own mark on iSurv1vor but faltered. A twist got him onto the jury but unlike his girlfriend hasn't really stepped out of her shadow, with The iCha11enge he is flying solo and determined to score a win for their household. My dark horse pick.
Felix Look at this line-up of twelve badasses, Felix is without question the strongest badass here. When his back is against the wall he has proven himself to get out of do or die situations (Felix vs. Axel, anyone?) and really go the distance. His antagonistic nature may cause him trouble down the road, approach this kid with caution.
Heather Sigh. Just... just no. Heather, if you read this I would really want you to do well but the Inferno is won by a GROUP of people and if you're part of that winning group rest assured you will not be the reason why the Badasses won. Expect her to be one of the first out, a wasted spot where Vanessa could've been.
KJ A serial ORG champion, KJ does not have an i1 victory and as a Gen I player she could very well join Joey, Mike Reilly, Mandy and Lorii as one of the old guard who can do well. It'll be interesting to see how she adapts, I'm certainly a fan of hers and watching her play in real time will be an experience.
KM After a sour experience in iS: Jordan, the social tribemate blocked the cast, shut herself out of any conversations and is dying for her second shot (even though she had redemption so this is her third) I'm not holding my breath when it comes to KM, I've been proven wrong before but this time I'm pretty confident in my assumption.
Kyle I'm excited to watch Kyle play, I enjoyed him in iS: Andaman but he just got wrapped up in the drama and even though he was never a contender to win, I think he can really excel in The iCha11enge. He's probably the biggest question mark for me in the Badasses, he could be good, he could be bad. Stay tuned.
Noah Well after appearing in iS: Canada and iS: Faroe Islands the only way is up for this player. On a level of co-operation, Noah is awful, lazy and then attempts to piggyback on others success. This will probably become a recurring theme for him, don't expect fireworks... just expect a lot of pointless selfies.
Ricky Hot off the back of iS: Jordan, Ricky is trying to win an i1 game and I guess he's trying a little too hard. If he's anything like he was as the Mental Tribe Coach, he will try and take command but soon enough he will burn out and revert to his old ways. I don't think he understands what it takes to win though.
Steph K. This girl has played twice in iS, she hasn't done well and is more of an antagonist without her knowing of it. You call her out on her bullshit and she'll act the victim to gain sympathy (spoiler; it doesn't work) hell, if you can't get Constance or Heather into the Inferno, put Steph Katz there! Weak player, move on.
Steph W. Aside from Kyle, Steph W. is the other question mark this season. Even though she comes from iS: Jordan (the most recent season) she has the opportunity to really make her mark in the series. I trust that she can do well, but I've no reason to dislike or really support her. I'd be happy if she won.

CAST IMPRESSIONS WITH DEZI
THE GOOD GUYS:
Woods - I don't yet know much about this guy, or if he's a challenge beast in previous seasons of iS. But I would like to see him go far, considering he was quick to critique in Jordan's PW thread. (No shade)
Whitney - YES QUEEN OF RUSSIA! Though I would be surprised how well she can go now that she's working full time? (Unsure on that) But still one of my early favourites because of her gentle personality, challenge threat wise though? Not quite sure how that will go down. Also not sure why she's topping both Captain and Challenger polls right now, WTF?
Sassy - I've seen her around the alumni chat post-Tibet and I gotta say, she's also quite the talker. Did she do well in her seasons of iS? If so I could see her being a silent but deadly type player.
Patia - Ahhhh Yes! The first out of the Jordanians to COME THROUGH!! She was a part of the Physical Tribe, so maybe that could be put to good use. However I could see the other alumni target Jordan first, and if so she'd be the last one in there representin'.
Nathan - Can't be sure about him at this stage. We'll just have to see.
Mike T - He was in the running to be the Physical Coach as well Pre-Jordan, but lost to Felix. So if that's a sign, then I think he's gonna do well.
Kevin - BIG PERSONALITY! He's such a joy to host on Lipsync, and he loves his alcohol too. I only hope that people don't use his past against him from other games, because that's what has taken him out early as a result.
Kate - Despite the "Bros" thinking she's gonna be up Ricky's arse, I believe she has a brain inside there that can do something different. I could see her coming out of her shell more to be dominant, and if she can do that, she has a really good shot at the win.
Gabe - Don't let me down in there, not sure what to make of him other than the fact that he likes weed
Fabian - I have memories of the first mental challenge where it took him a while to get how to do a puzzle, thank Travis and Ricky. So I hope he's managed to learn since then, and use his new bad boy attitude to his advantage - to which he blames Carlos and Jay for, typical.
Britti - Have only spoken to her a few times, she is such a character! But of course this is about challenge beasty-ness, and I'm not quite sure how she would fare against everybody else.
Alyx - Somebody I am watching! Don't know her at all, but she could surprise me.
THE BADASSES:
Steph - Awww, this is your second chance to prove yourself doll! I do hope she kills this game. But given that her team consists of a well-known challenge beast in KJ, she could easily be usurped early if they decide to target Jordan first.
Ricky - I have a feeling he downplayed his challenge prowess on purpose in Jordan. Looks like he's gonna be the Captain, which says a lot about the fans still loving him I guess. Prepare for another coaching season with Ricky guys, wonder who's gonna get the Jay edit this time. My guess would be Noah or Constance.
Noah - He's proven himself to be quite "out there" in terms of portraying himself, not sure how he would stack up against these so-called beasts though. He could either cruise through, or be picked off early ... Just because. I would hope it's the first one.
Kyle - Seen him around the community, so therefore can't make a determination just yet.
KM - Girl what? They probably brought her back because of her meltdowns. Did she buy a computer since then and not be so phone reliant? More importantly, has she turned her TV off? Either way, still the definition of "Useless"
KJ - OH CRAP! Of course you bring back the ORG Goddess HERSELF! Geeez, well.. Since this is based on Challenge prowess, she's either definitely going far or be targeted early BECAUSE she could go far. This woman is not even a BEAST, she's like.... a GORILLA! Fuck I don't know Lol. Either way she's a strong bitch.
Stephkatz - I could see her getting along with Ricky, though that's a total long shot. Would like to see her at least make it halfway, then see what happens from there.
HLC - Just.... No
Felix - Managed to prove himself in the later part of Russia, so hopefully he doesn't act like a total princess this time. But knowing him, I'm sure he'll take it seriously - maybe not.
David - Also a part of the physical tribe in Jordan so that's already something good. He did manage to clinch Dylan's jury spot so I'm sure that could be a sign. I could see him either work with Ricky, or try to do a Carlos and dethrone him somehow. Unfortunately, this time, they have bitches worse than Derby to exchange that coach role for.
Constance - I will be surprised at how she'll do in this game, I got love for my Sistah and I hope she manages to maintain her sanity somehow. Though given that Felix is there, I see him targeting her first alongside some others - which would be ratchet since it would only be based on her personality. She could surprise me though!
Banks - His appearance gave me a shock! Can't believe he's actually doing this. I hope he doesn't freaking quit this time, but then again there's no Jela so... I'm sure nothing of the sort would happen. Can definitely see him being the "Hoe" of the game, trying to get in good with all the gays then cut their throats.
Favourites so far: Whitney, Kate, Mike T, Britti, Steph, Felix, Banks
Eliminated Potentially: HLC

The Good Guys
Alyx A fairly strong player in her two outings in iSurv1vor, it's going to be interesting watching her adapt into The iCha11enge. Coupled that strength with her being very likeable and nobody is really going to want to take her on. If anybody has a good standing going into this season, it's her.
Britti With a rollercoaster resume in iSurv1vor, Britti is proof you can play and make it to the end given enough opportunities. The only issue I have with Britti playing is the amount of time she'll put towards it, I hope I'm wrong, but I think after enough bites of the cherry she might just burn out. Prove me wrong, Downy!
Fabian With barely enough time to shower and finish his wine, Fabian left redemption and into The iCha11enge. He could fit really well into this team, he's never really had a 'bad' day in his games and even took his boot quite well. But I think there's more to what he chooses to show, give him the captaincy and he could really cause trouble.
Gabe Without question one of the memorable first boots in recent memory, he barely had time to eat his words when karma came knocking after Steph Katz was booted from iS: Botswana. If he learns to filter what he reveals to his team he could be a very valuable asset, I just hope that he's learned from his mistakes.
Kate My not so secret crush, Kate can easily adjust into working with groups and now that she's made the leap from newbie to returning player there could be a definite shift in her gameplay and strategy. I'm interested to see how she acts away from Ricky, I can see her trying to build her own legacy away from the Axis of Evil villain.
Kevin iS: Bermuda is a season that is seldom remembered and easily forgotten. Kevin is a question mark for me, he could either be great and step out of the Unlucky 13 season or just fall back into obscurity just as quickly. He's probably the player I have the highest hopes for. Treat him as if this is his first i1 game.
Mike As the only player in this cast to taste victory, Mike is going for his second stint and with his background in challenge skills and likeability he could really go the distance and even develop into a leader of the Good Guys. He actively avoids the drama and whilst many say it's boring, if it works and you get the money, who cares?
Nathan Much like Kevin, Nathan is another question mark. From iS: Canada, I don't know how he's going to be and since his original season is held with such negativity it was really surprising to see him on this team. I'm treating this as if it was his first season.
Patia Loved her in iS: Jordan but the issue I have is that she didn't really get time to develop into her own style of play, she justifies her spot on the Good Guys but could end up as a victim. There are way stronger personalities on this cast and if she's smart she should know when she's being played.
Sassy Since being cast in her original season, Sassy has come such a long way in the series. Whilst she doesn't have the endgame in her strategy she is a mainstay and very well liked. She'd be a wildcard going into the Inferno though, it'd be hard to judge if she'd be a threat going toe to toe against somebody.
Whitney I liked Whitney in iS: Russia, she always had a smile on her face but felt she was somewhat out of her depth so for her going into The iCha11enge I'm very interested to seeing her gameplay. Maybe this format will be a better fit for her, but after the first round I should have a better scope of her.
Woods This guy.. eh.. I like him! Don't get me wrong but I just think there could've been a better sixth male to put on the Good Guys. I can see him falling into the background and being part of the final winning group of players. He is also a wildcard to me, could be good, could be bad. If he sucks, stick with iTAR.

My god I'm so excited for the Inferno, my body cannot handle it!!!
Just a quick list of who I'm rooting for: Bad Asses: Banks, Noah, Kyle
Good Guys: Britti, Sassy, Whitney, Mike, Patia, Fabi, Kate, Alyx (so basically at this point I'm team Good Guys)
I'll edit this later with a full cast analysis <3
*EDIT*
Bad Asses Ricky: Will be a huge presence in this game if he gives it his full attention. Basically ready to kill for a chance to win, i think Ricky's chances of going into the Inferno are very low simply due to the fact that he's such an asset to his team and that he can probably win a lifesaver easily. I expect him to make it to the end or get extremely close.
HLC: This demon will be the demise of the Bad Asses. They better pray they win challenges, because the other team is almost never throwing her into the Inferno. She's volatile, attention seeking, obnoxious and totally useless. She's going to be the one that they end up wasting their energy on trying to figure out how to eliminate her. I don't expect her to make it far unless the BA's totally suck.
Noah: Oh Noah darling....I want you to do well, but your track record in this series is not consistent. I feel like if he FOCUSES, he can kill the challenge. But him getting along with some of his teammates is going to be his biggest obstacle. There are people on his team that he absolutely HATES and i think he's going to be more worried about how to fuck them over then winning. I expect him to either go inactive or be brutally backstabbed halfway through.
Steph Katz: Completely polarizing to people, new and old. I don't know much of her gameplay because she's always out so quickly. I feel like the GG's will put her into an inferno for an easy win and the BA's will throw her in to cut dead weight. I expect her to be one of the first eliminated.
Steph: I expect her to be one of the most level-headed and liked BAs on her team. I think she might be able to hang in there under the radar without being targeted right away. When the numbers start to dwindle, i think the GGs will realize she contributes to the BAs and target her for an inferno. I expect her to either make it to the end or be eliminated right before finals.
Kyle: LOVE Kyle! He definitely has a way of getting in good with the right people and I think that will be the key to his success in this game. Even if he's not a challenge beast, I don't think people will care on his team because they'll want him around to stay entertained. I expect him to make it to the end and will be shocked if he doesnt.
Felix: So Felix is definitely a challenge threat. I think his personality rubs people the wrong way at first, but they eventually learn to love him how he is. If the GGs are brave enough to throw him in, they're going to be losing a few players. I expect him to emerge as some type of leader in a low key capacity.

Looking forward to this! Should be a lot of fun. I only know about half the cast but it should be pretty good!
I will be interested to see how the Jordan crew works together. If they will stick together even though some of them were on the different side of the game (and you know KM) as well as if the rest of the cast will handle them. Not really sure how strategic this game is going to be. Should be interesting.
Cheering for: Davis, Steph, Noah on the bad asses and Woods, Patia, Sassy, Kate, Gabe and Fabi on the good guys.

I am enjoying the equivalent of listening to HLC talk on the phone. The second one we get to hear whats going from HLC's point of view.
Look at everyone being so active though on skype.
#Itsyaboywoods with the video confessional. Loving Gabe/Woods relationship but Gabe's crush on Kate is going to be messing things up!

DEZI SPILLS THE TEA
Gabe - That was the best confessional I've ever seen in the history of seeing confessionals! I may have found my inspiration
Kate - YES KATE! I am loving this whole strategy she's come in with, I hope she sticks with it, but she is giving me life right now - Yes that might be Jordan bias but there's some logic.
Woods - Good to see he's in the good with the older alumni women such as Alyx and Britti. But he seems determined to give this game a go.
Heather - Oh my word, that first confessional made me laugh in so many ways. Just to see her try to be social with people is so awkward to watch, and some of her comments she made are just.... WTF?! LOL "I've got the wrong parts baby girl" - Oh geez, HLC as a lesbian? Lord help us.
