Angie, Katie and Roxy seem nice.

I obviously can't help but root for Penner, who is one of my all-time favorites. I always liked Skupin, too, and Swan is alright. It's a solid batch of returnees in terms of likability, leadership, and potential.

GO JEFF KENT!

Angie is ****ing HOT, and Katie is no slouch either.

The majority of the rest of the cast seems super boring.

Dana looks like a taller version of Leif.

The cast vid should be one that's accessible for all countries:/

They shouldn't let 14 year olds get implants.

"I'm very capitivating..."

I hate that girl already.

Going just by the pictures, that first girl takes a majora lead in the annual camel toe competition. Jeff Kent a close second.

nice work vyk

Come on, Soncy, she looks at least 16.

blonde girl is HOAT. And I am in love with Parvati. I don't care though.

thank you sir

I hope this season blows the snoozefest that was One World out of the water

I'm excited about the tribe designations. I hope Jeff Kent is on the same tribe as the lesbian, could be good television

I'm guessing it's going to be one of the returnees who outs Jeff Kent, if he tries to stay on the down low.

Angie is ridic hot. also a fan of Katie.

I am doing sheep. There will be plenty of blonde girl, Jeff Kent and KOS/ESPN's GW questions.

If you have any ideas for questions PM me.

I'm sure this will surprise exactly zero people ITT, but I already love Malcolm. He's going to be really fun to watch.

If I hear the phrase "I'm a pageant girl!" one more time, I might murder someone.

What are the odds that Jeff Kent doesn't get insta-recognized? I can't judge it at all because I'm a huge baseball fan. Would the average CasualFan recognize him?

Kent will go deep if he is with Penner. I cant wait to watch Penner own kids this season. If Angie is with Penner she is screwed. So I hope she isn't.

I bet Albert is mad he isn't with Kent. He won't be recognized like Jimmy Johnson was obv... I could see anyone that is a Giants fan or used to be an Astros fan notice Kent.

He's not on TV every week like Jimmy Johnson was, but still, he was one of the most famous players in baseball ~10 years ago. It helps that he has this sort of RA Dickey-ish "random dude" look to him, but I still can't help but think someone will recognize him.

Denise surprised me a lot. I like what I see from her so far.

I hope they do the tee ball challenge from Samoa, just to watch Kent go all GOAT. I am indifferent on a lot of these people. I need to listen to the RHAP once he does it, to start making my real predictions.

Penner will shoot up the rankings of GOAT if he does well. I have always liked him and he will do anything to keep playing.

if i was going to attempt to not reveal who i was if i was Kent, I'd highly consider going by his middle name. it's going to be very hard for him to not be recognized but once you combine the "you look really familiar" with his real first name, someone will piece it together.

I agree with Denise being impressive.. she's my dark horse pick early on.

Tons of people would recognize Kent, but I think even more people 30-45 would recognize Lisa Whelchel, that show was super popular and she still looks the same.

(disclaimer--I haven't seen interviews yet so maybe that's already come up? And for trivia purposes it should be mentioned that a really young Molly Ringwald was also on that show, and later a really mulletted George Clooney.)

+1

Nice OP, vyk!

i agree about Whelchel but her being recognized isn't nearly as likely to make her a large target. The perception of wealth/"he doesn't need the money" is going to be far stronger with Kent.
