Pregameing with Cochran

KIRATI TRIBE


Played by Minah

I like this one. I think I read that Brenda said she thought Angie would be a natural. She's the one who wrote the essay on Jerry Manthey, yes? I think she has a really good chance of jelling with this group, and I don't see her in any danger at any point in the early game, unless she is screwed by the ambassador twist. Hell, even then she might be able to work her way back from a whole if she plays her cards right. I think her and Lisa will get along well. I think she'll be very rootable, Definitely looking forward to her.


Played by Nasaljack

Artis remind me A LOT of myself before Namibia. Not as cocky but, idk I can relate to the kid so I can't help but root for him. I think he'll do well, and will probably hide in his shell a lot more than he would like, much like Namibia Cochran. However, with the smaller groups he really doesn't have a lot of room, and I don't think he will have it go as easy as it did for me in Namibia (I hope not, activity wise at least). I do have some faith in him though. I feel like he might surprise us and do really well. I'm actually gonna pick him as my winner in the draft, because if a noob takes this game I think it'll be him.


Played by RobbRoy45

I had to go back and read his app, which means it didn't really stick out to me so eh. He's a Tom Westman fan, which I know is an unpopular opinion but if he goes down that road I might actually like him. He seems to have a mind for this, and obviously is a huge fan, but I gotta say out of the noobs on this tribe he's my least favorite. Now reading the skype chat, he seems to see the merit in making moves, so maybe he'll perform? I don't know. not to excited about him for some reason.


Played by Justincorporated

Leslie from Crash Course, right? I hated Leslie, annoying shtick but apparently once he dropped it he was a monster and maybe even a jury threat. He will be an asset to his tribes as far as challenges go, so I don't think he will have any problem as far as this first tribe goes. I actually have a feeling he might be voted Ambassador, which I think he could do well in. He's my least favorite returnee, but I hope he goes far anyways, should be good. I think he'll probably click well with Artis maybe? And Shane too.


Played by Lor

I'm a huge Denise fan so I hope she performs. Probably will click with the girls? I don't really know. Another person I had to go back and read the app on so she didn't stick out to me originally. She calls herself Type B , and says she would get an edit more like Brett Clouser, which isn't really something to brag about? I don't know. I won't be upset if she does well, but I'm not rooting for her out of this group.


Played by Voltage

First time getting to see Voltage in action! Pretty pumped about that. Obviously I think she'll go far because I've only heard good things. I've been co-hosted by hr before but besides that I don't really have a relationship with her, so I think you guys know more about her than I do. I Know she'll do well, and she will probably put in some work as Lisa. Should be fun.


Played by Jaison (Aussie)

Is he aussie located? Hopefully the time zone isn't a problem. I mean, I heard Ash say great things but besides that Idk. I think he was slaughtered in the finals of Aussie stranded by Vitnho, but I think that wasn't really his fault. I REALLY like Zane as a rep so he better perform. I' looking forward to him more for the Rep than him himself. I think in this group he'll be bale to find some footing, and I see him being long for this game.

I Really like this tribe makeup, but they have to be my least favorite out of the three. I mean, I do see a lot of potential here, and I really don't know how things will shake up as far as alliances, but they are just missing something that the other tribes have. Still, they should be fun to watch and I think there is a lot of winner potential coming from this group.

Madhesi Tribe


Played by Rudy

First time seeing Rudy in action which I'm pumped about as well. I don't know much about the guy but I have heard great things. He mentioned Debb in his app, so I see him taking this and running with it. I hope to see Debb as a force, idk if he'll do something Shticky? I don't know the guy, but Debb has SO MUCH potential, and I want to see that stick around as long as possible. I mean, I know this is the Vet tribe but I can see her having this tribe by the balls really early. Debb as Ambasador? How fucking great would that be.


Played by Bigbrocan

This is the noob in a tribe of vets, right? I think Tina might be one also, but I really don't see much hope for him here, unless the vets see he's green and want to take advantage of it. Actually on a App re-read, he may provide some early game entertainment if he plans to be as confrontational as he says. I want to see him try and take it to some of these vets. I don't know. Don't think he'll do well.


Played by glurrrrp

MIKE! I really hope he does well, but I do see him overplaying and going out early, just like Isolated. I gave him a few pointers once Isolated ended (lol at me giving pointers) so that shows he has some sort of drive to prove himself after Isolated. I think he'll be able to hold his own if he's able to make some larger PM's. I HOPE that he does well because he's a friend but in this tribe? I think he might be an earlier boot if he's just like Mike was in Isolated. He could do a 180? But I don't know, this tribe might make it hard. Keith is a great rep for him though, love it.


Played by Gerbil_George

Gerbil was fucking Fantastic as Barney in TUG2, and also played a really good Biff in Gabby's Birthday party, so I see him doing some work as Kimmy. The only thing I see as a problem really is her sticking out for being younger (Rep wise) but with this group I don't think that would be a problem. Gerbil will do well if his schedule doesn't get too crazy, but I think he'll find the time for Stranded. I hope to see Kimmy go far, not as much as some of the other ones on this tribe but still.


Played by Dawn (Aussie)

I don't know Dawn, but Mad Dog is a great rep so I hope she performs well. I've heard she really good with the Drama so that should be fun. Aussie time zoned also, yes? Hopefully that's not a problem for her either. I predict she'll be fine, and I'm looking forward to her, idk, not much else till I see her in action.


Played by koro

This fucking guy. I'm so happy that he's back to play but there is NO WAY that this tribe will deal with his shit. He's gonna get found out so easy and so early on, I see him being a possible first bot for this group. Either that or the ambassador might try and trade him away, which honestly really won't be the worst decision because he is probably the least loyal ally you could possible have. I don't think he'll hit the merge, but he'll provide some OTT entertainment in the first few rounds so good for him.


Played by Lonlonmilk

I like her. She's the one who likes Milk right? Wrote about it in the app? If so then I hope she sticks around, but much like Jeff I really doubt it. I think she might be a lot less in your face, and the vets will probably figure out that she is a noob and maybe use that? but if not then she'll just fall behind and not be able to catch up. Early boot unless this tribe wrecks challenges.

I like Madhesi a lot also, probably my second favorite group here. Lots of vets, and I feel like lots of potential from some great reps. Even the noobs should add something to this group, so it should be fun to watch. Plus Papa Bear is here so it'll be some kind of entertaining. I feel like these guys will wreck in challenges, so they might not see too many tribals before the swap.

Even More Pregameing With Cochran
Rai Tribe


Played by Spooky

Oh my god I want this guy to do so well. He is the person I am most excited to see and the sad part is that he could be a complete flop. I want him to be this completely insane person he's saying he is, I don't even care how bad he'll probably do because of it. I would be the happiest host around if he found some footing and was long for the game... but yeah, I really don't see it happening. Sadly, this guy's probably gonna be boot #1.


Played by Usuck

Hayden is going to be running this tribe the minute that Logins go out. I see him getting in well with all of the strategic players, and everyone liking him. I don't know a ton about Hayden besides the fact that he kinda got swap fucked, yes?? He'll be fine, and I think he's gonna be the ambassador on this tribe because he'll probably have the best game socially out of this group early on. One vet in a tribe of noobs, lucky him.


Played by Lemmylime

I don't remember much about her, gotta go reread the app which means she wasn't a stick out for me. OH WAIT nvm this is the milk person. Not the first time playing an ORG but she's probably played nothing like stranded before. Seems to have a level head on her shoulders, which I can't say for most of the people on this tribe. I gotta agree with Brenda that this tribe might just have TOO MUCH insanity for her to get along with everyone. I like her though, She'll do well I think? depends on if this tribe wins a ton or not.


Played by Justdoyou

I think she's going to be the female schemer on this tribe. She seems a little on the blander side but I feel like she's gonna get herself into a good spot on the tribe, even with all the craziness. She'll probably jell well with the other girls, as well as Richard, Shawn, Hayden... Idk pretty much everyone outside of BB. I have high hopes for this one, and unless a swap fuck I think she'll hit the merge.


Played by Rematch287

Everyone is saying this guys has big shoes to fill as far as his rep goes, but I'm almost positive that will light a fire under his ass to perform. Already talking about making fake idols, and sounds pretty arrogant off the bat, this guy has a new age Hatch written all over him. He's my favorite non-crazy person on this tribe and If he can get his act together socially, then I think he'll be really long for this game. I think he really has a great chance at winning this, If Artis gets taken in the draft I'm all over this guy.


Played by RockyLXIX

This guy sounds pretty awesome, Said he likes Sean cuz hes Lulzy, Hopefully he plays that up. I think he'll be really friendly, might Troll a little but I think he's gonna be a social force because, like Brenda said, I really do think he'll be able to handle all kinds of personalities. I think he's gonna get really close with everyone and get a strong group going early, or at least be a part of one so he's really long for this game.


Played by Alex

I hated Rachel in Isolated. Absolutely, every bit of me hated her because she was so outwardly a bitch to me. Now, From a hosting stand point she's gonna be gold. I get why you guys love her and hope she does well, but If she PM's these people the same way she did me she'll go home early. Which honestly, wouldn't be the worst thing for this tribe.

This group is by far my favorite. All of the noobs show promise in some way, and it also has BB and Sean who will make this tribe entertaining alone. I really think they might struggle a bit challenge wise, but if they can hold it together for a bit they will be a force. If not, then they'll all be some great pre-merge entertainment.

Im with you Cochran. I think the Rai tribe is the tits. I'm loving the underdog potential here. I'm hoping they become a Casaya and pwn challenges by some miracle of God. I think Ramona actually will do REALLY well on this tribe because she is the only sane/level headed person on it. She will stand out for that reason I think. Could be wrong and she could be overwhelmed by everyone but... I really think the fact taht hse is the ONLY person willing to play smart, will make her a big player from the jump, definitely what she needs.

The Ambassadors

I am already loving this twist, partly because of who was picked on each tribe, but also because I feel like people are all using different strategies as far as what they want to do with the power. I hope we get AT LEAST one swap every round, because I feel like that'll fuck up this game so much, in addition to creating a lot of opportunity for people to claim being robbed, which means a lot of these people back for second chances, YAY. Also, I was 0/3 with the ambassador picks, but I'm really happy about it.



I'm starting with Lisa because she's the only person who isn't my favorite on her tribe who got ambassador. That's not because she's bad by any means, it's just because her tribe is stacked as far as entertainment goes, and definitely has the biggest noob personalities/players. However, I think that Lisa is a BIG part of that. I feel like the fact that she is a good talker, is bringing out the best in her tribe mates, while as over on Rai, Hayden is going with the flow and it's showing because the rest of the group hasn't really stepped it up talking wise. Lida seems to be in the majority alliance of her tribe which I like, because it excludes my to least favorites (Chris/Zane), so I'm hoping they go far as a group.

She is being smart about using her power I guess? She wants to put Artis up, which to some people might look dumb because they technically are working together. However, the two of them don't really trust each other, so out of her group she probably would most want Artis to be taken. I mean, she still has her two easy first boots in the boys, and would just lose an Ally, and still have the majority. the only issue is, Artis can obviously tell that and is already considering maybe making a move in his confessionals. I think she is in a really good spot as of right now, but people WILL get weary of her, lets hope that it doesn't happen too soon.



Holy shit this guy is a nut. Once again he has already turned his tribe into the Papa Bear show. He has an alliance with everyone in the tribe at this point outside of Debb? He made a little mistake by not agreeing to an alliance with Mad Dog, but he then offered one afterwards so I think that he will be OK? I don't think you can ever reverse that distrust right off the bat, but I think he'll be alright. I see he and Mad dog butting heads, and maybe a feud growing between them. All I know is right now he is bringing ti and EVERYONE IS BUYING HIS BULL SHIT. I thought Jeff might have screwed him by putting him on this tribe but honestly everyone fucking loves the dude outside of Mad Dog. And holy shit the Car Crash lie. He's laying that shit on thick, telling everyone he's in a wheel chair, and that he has to take care of his two daughters. It's just a fucking goldmine for him, everyone is sympathizing, It got Keith to give up wanting to be ambassador, and almost everyone has commented about it in there confessionals. I feel like it makes everyone think he's more genuine of a person, and I mean, why not believe him? Who would make a lie like that in an online game just to get ahead? This fucking guy. Lisa Lurked his season if I remember correctly? which could become a problem for him. All someone needs to do is read up on him and they'll know he's full of it, but if it doesn't happen I really think Papa Bear wins this.

As far as the Ambassadors twist, I don't know exactly what he's gonna do as far as the sacrifices twist goes, but I have a feeling that he will be the one willing to make the most trades. I say that because he's gonna be the one to utilize talking to EVERYONE the most, he will probably make a deal with every last person in the game, and if he realizes that some people on his tribe don't exactly like him, he could mold his tribe to be just people that want to work with him. I'm really looking forward to him running this game and I think this twist really gives him the power to do so.



Ramona is by far my favorite on the Rai tribe. I didn't think she would be, but she's really doing well for herself. She's pretty much at the center of her tribe, the girls want to be with her and she already has something tight with the guys (minus BB). So far they've been pretty much running the tribe like a democracy, which won't last but it puts Ramona right on top without looking that threatening because she SEEMS to be taking everyone's opinion into consideration.I think someone mentioned somewhere that she is very observant, enough to point out that Rich was making PM's to others, while trying to say he was only talking to her. I think she has a ticket to the swap no matter how many challenges she loses, which honestly could very well be all of them. It'll more be that she will decide who she wants to work with going forward on her tribe, than people deciding if they want her. I think her target will keep growing though and she might be in some trouble come swap but... we'll see.

She is taking this ambassador thing nice and slow. Part of me feels like it's because she a noob, but I feel like it might end up working for her? I mean, Papa Bear and Lisa are all admitting that they are making "the rounds" in there PM's to the other tribes, but Ramona has only messaged a person from each at this point. I think that might not give her the great connections she'll need later, but the people who she does talk to might feel a deeper connection to her because she isn't talking to anyone else. I'm sure that Mad Dog and Angie (the two people she PM'd) will ask around and find out that sh only talked to them, maybe take a little advantage of it? idk. It may come to nothing but it's just what I've been seeing. As far as the sacrifices thing I don't think she will make any trades. She is putting up BB for trade almost definitely because he is the weakest link, which is smart but if Papa Bear gets a whiff of that he could steal him and put him under his wing, which could then put her in a spot.



I don't think we'll see a trade for the first couple of boots, but once a trade does come I think it's kind of like a no turning back kinda thing at that point, and we will see a ton more. At least I hope so. The girls have already agreed not to trade, and if nothing comes of this twist I'll be more than upset.

I've been really busy so I haven't been around, but I read up a bit so I figured you deserved an update.

EPISODE 4

We'll start with Rai. I definitely thought they would be a lot better then they are, and I'm kind of happy that they got decimated. I guess I'm not HAPPY about it, but it's just better for the game than the other tribes losing people early. The first three boots we're either inactive, or bad PM'ers, so I didn't get much from them. None of the votes were really surprising. I'm gonna start with Artis. how SCREWED is this guy, lol. I am still big on the Artis train, even though he isn't as great socially as some others. He's definitely much better than a lot of Rai as far as being social goes. He also is pretty straight with everyone as far as strategy goes, and I like reading his PM's. But anyways, he is almost definitely going home tomorrow night. Rai will more likely than not lose the challenge, and the only reason he didn't go home last vote was because he had immunity due to the swap. His only hope really is to find the HII and play it, which he has three clues but I don't know if he'll be able to. He's trying though, I just don't know. Ramona Has been doing really well for herself, she's definitely hitting the swap, with some good allies. She went out of her way to save Stacey, which is good because I don't think Stacey will forget that. She is a little slow with the ambassador thing, so I'm excited for a new ambassador at the swap. The only way she doesn't make it is if Artis grabs the HII. Rich has fizzled a bit for me. He doesn't PM well yet and has taken a backseat role to Ramona ever since that alliance started. He'll pick it up at the swap though, I'm sure. As for Hayden, I get the love. He isn't doing to much, he's in the majority and will make the swap easy. He's done a good job blending in with the noobs but still riding his returnee status a bit. i really like his confessionals though.

On to Kirati. These guys are great, I originally pegged them as being the least interesting tribe, but they definitely delivered a lot more, especially for not having to go to Tribal at all. Lisa Is pretty much running this tribe, she has a good connection with everyone, and I think a lot people are even looking at her for guidance due to the whole ambassador thing. She is the only one to REALLY put out something for Chris, which I commend her for. Chris, isn't really doing too well, if Kirati loses tomorrow, he will most likely go home. However, I think this might be a common thing for him? In Crashcourse he was a little slow on making alliances, but hit the swap and changed that around really quickly, and I expect to see that over the next few days. The only other person to really try with Chris is Carter. He also is the second most connected on his tribe, with an alliance with the girls, and a close f2 type thing with Lisa. He's really putting in some work, and I have to admit that I wasn't expecting that and am pleasantly surprised, I think he'll be able to keep this up for a little while but sooner than later it will probably come back to get him. Angie has fizzled a bit for me. I know she was sick, and kinda disappeared for a round, but she really needs to step it up. She was a target for the "boys" due to her inactivity, and even though obviously nothing came from it, she really needs to step her game up going forward. She's safe till swap though, so I guess she's doing well. I think me expecting more might have to do with the high expectations from pregame. She's still great, don't get me wrong but idk. She's kind of being overshadowed by the other noobs on her tribe. Denise, for example, is doing great for herself. I wrote her off as an earlier boot but she has put herself in the majority, and even though she is not being great on keeping the people on the outside under wraps (AKA CHRIS) she is in a good spot going forward I think. And then there's Stacey. I finally get the love. Her confessionals crack me the fuck up sometimes, and asking How BB feels about rich taking his wig? Idk, I'm not gonna add Binch to my vocabulary just yet but if she sticks around, which I think she will because people will see her as less threatening at the swap, I may jump on that train too.

Madhesi has delivered since day 1, and is by FAR the best tribe in this game. You can't talk about this tribe without first mentioning Papa Bear. He came in playing way too hard, and everyone bought it.. for a few days. Then Lisa saw right through it and told the ENTIRE GAME that he was aligning with everyone, and now he's at the top of everyone on his tribes hit list. Best part is, he THINKS he is in control of the whole game . I can't wait to watch him crash and burn at the swap, because I am positive his whole team will sell him down the river. After Papa Bear, you HAVE to acknowledge Jeff for making this tribe the way it is. I wrote him off right away at having no chance because this tribe was chock full of vets, but he is really killing it. He's by far the most connected, and has a good thing going on with Kimmy and Mad Dog. He also is the first person to reach out to the new Tina. I think Jeff has a real winner potential here, and I hope he keeps up what he's doing because right now he is by far my favorite in the game. Plus, I think the farther he gets, the more well see of Kimmiy, who I'm a huge fan of as well. Really good in character, and it's not even like she's doing much besides typing "anywhoozle" and "like" all the time. Also, is really connected, and with Jeff is completely running her tribe. I think that she is long for this game, and will even outlast Jeff because he seems o be getting a bit paranoid, and that might make him a bigger target? I don't know, I'm on the Kimmi train all the way though. Those two have a close third in Mad Dog. Mad Dog is playing well enough, sussed out Papa Bear form the fucking beginning, and I expect big things from her as we go forward. I think she would be putting in a much bigger splash on any other tribe, but right now she's in the middle of her crew just sitting waiting for a swap which is fine because when it comes I'm sure she'll bring it. She is definitely long for this game. NuTina is amazing, she came in late and is already in the majority alliance, and everyone is saying how much they like her. She knows how to write essays, which will make a lot of the noobier players feel like she is really in with them once a swap comes. I think she has a HUGE chance of winning this whole thing. Lastly, there is Keith. I'm really upset because I TOLD HIM he needed to write bigger PM's, that he needed to like engage people or he would just fall into the background and become irrelevant and honestly that's what happened. He's definitely at the bottom of the tribe, and if it weren't for Papa Bear he would be the first one gone. He needs to step his game up, and fast, or he is gone early in the swap. Lol I'm gonna keep the fact that I wrote Lastly for Keith and Forgot about Debb completely. She's been kinda funny but really is irrelevant, hopefully she picks it up come swap.

I needed this. What happened to Mad Dog? :o Also wtf @Zane quitting :| Poor show from the Aussie contingent.

Mad Dog was great though, Zane.... :(
