EPISODE 1: WINTER IS HERE

[Sandy]

This is really exciting.

[Sandy]

I'm once again obsessed with Paulina!

[stephkatz]

Ugh I agree. And I think she's going to be a lot bitchier than she was the last time... she kept saying she was bitchy in Russia journals but we never really saw it, I'm excited to see it. I couldn't hear who Demonica said was being bitchy or whatever so I wonder who she was talking about but first impressions leave a lot to be desired with her... considering she pretty much already said she won't work with most of her tribe, and that they all know each other and have an alliance.... if she has that attitude she definitely won't make it far.

Mark talking about not having a showmance, poor 20-something girls in the cast.... although looking at the cast, it looks like Steph might be the only option anyway.... If he doesn't change his gameply, I'm not sure he'll win, we'll have to see what happens.

Shannon seems super sweet (I didn't follow S30 so these guys are all new to me) IDK how she'll do, as she still seems pretty amateur using the board but we'll have to see what happens.

ERIC!!!!! I think time will tell if he's a good captain. I personally am afraid that he won't last long, he'll be the Mandy of Jordan, she was the one that got dethroned correct? But I personally would rather see him stick it out than a Banks...... so we'll see. Maybe being in that automatic "power" position will help him, since he won't have to just act like he's in control and he really will be.

The only two people who matter this season are Eric and Mark.

Mark hasssssssssss to win , HAS TO WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNn HAS TO WINNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

I just love him, and I'm really only following this season to root him on, I'm sure he will naturally become a target/threat around merge so we will see how he manages it differently than how he did in Russia.

Literally I will die if Hunter runs out of coins and gets eliminated

I really liked Eric's first impression. I know he thinks I hate him...but so NOT true! Just because of how his tribe is, I think he will do good for awhile.

OMG, Mikey looks like he's 12. Like, actually does look 12! Eeep

Love Paulina! Even bitchy, she is still so sweet and I love her! I can't wait to see feisty Paulina!

Oh Mark! Yea, I can see how he could get in trouble thinking with the wrong head. Looks like he may be able to focus more on the game than a showmance this time around! Looking forward to seeing him play!

Looking forward to seeing more confessionals popping up!

[brady]

Jennifer wants to be in a showmance with Mark.
Oh god, Mark isn't ready for this

[Sandy]

Legit I just watched Carina,Charlie,Demonica all in a row - seems like a vast majority of the cast is nervous to be the first one to mention an alliance. This is their second chance and everyone is playing pretty cautiously. If everyone sticks to this .... everyone will be playing like Jay with no alliances by day 18.

Just watched whatever was posted and here are my thoughts:


A majority of them are still in that honeymoon phase and are going to get left behind. Some of them you know are going to jump the gun and play too hard right off the bat. Just a few that stoodout to me:

Gannon: I have a feeling we will be thoroughly entertained BUT he definately needs to keep all that energy for the confessional. If hes that same way in the confessional to the tribe, im afraid he will be an easy target because people will definately view him as a physical and social threat because he seems super likeable. I would like him to do well because he genuinely entertained me.

Eric: I feel like one of the few who has a good grasp on the people hes playing with, it seems he definately has a thoughout plan and hopefully the captain role wont instantly make him a target .

Charlie: I have a feeling Charlie will be the outspoken, balls to wall type guy this season, people may want to keep him around in hope that he will pissalot of people off, or he will be a super early boot.

Mikey: Mikey is young but believe it or not i think that may work for him. People will for sure under estimate him based on his age, but i think based on his confessional he seems like he is very in tune to whats going on and who he can see potential alliances with. I think his likeability factor and his percieved "no threat"ness based on his age could really get him far.

Demonica, Shannon, Simon- Step it up #Dirty30. Im happy to see some of the most dynamic personalities back from my season and i know they all have potential to do super well this game IF they do the complete opposite thenwhat they did last time around. Simonneeds to not play all sides, Demonica needs to not blow up at the drop of a hat, and Shannon needs to be more involved. I have high hopes and really want them to turn. Ladies this is your Second Chance.... Dont fuck it up.

[Sandy]

Paulina and her bitch confessional about Markos <3
Then Markos' first confessional, 20 seconds in he says how he can have a strong alliance with Paulina.

EL OH EL, no.

[brady]

I've thoroughly disliked Shon in the past, but I will say this..
his first confessional was Fantastic.

He's clearly here to play, he's being strategic and he's reading people very well.

That tribe is kind of a shit show imo, i dont really like any of them. But I will be rooting for the Shon/Hunter connection to survive

[Sandy]

I'm on a call listening to Shon/Hunter strategize. They seem to be the only two with their heads in the game right now on Glory.

[michael]

After watching a bit more, its official im Team Gannon! He came to play, hes entertaining! The full package and totally what i would want as a winner. With that said, i hope an alliance of Maranda, Melissa, Simon, Fabi and Gannon really solidifies and they get far in this game. Charlie/Shon/Hunter seem to be in the game as well. Everyone else needs to wake up!
