^That man is TV gold. Everything from him speaking llama, to his idol-finding celebrations, and his gameplay. One of the best seasons ever.

Apparently two early themes were winners vs. challangers and winners vs. jury vs. pre-jury. But both of those seem to have fallen through so who knows. Maybe Friends and Rivals? I dunno, maybe it'll just be "All-stars 2" They haven't actually used "All-stars" as a name since season 8.

Yeah, no surprise about Culpepper... Jeff has a big ol' man crush on him and he is the executive producer. Sierra & Hali are something of a surprise neither have big personalities nor dominant physical or strategic games. Maybe they just wanted to up the "looks good in a bikini" factor.

I think Tony is in trouble. Tony, in addition to being a past winner, is basically an agent of chaos and expert finder of idols. I'd want to get rid of him ASAP... better a predictable threat then an unpredictable one. Sandra can get by (strangely given her status as the only multiple winner) for a while since she never comes off as a threat (until it's to late). I think she has a shot to three-peat if she can get to jury and win the F4 immunity (I think people can convince themselves that getting rid of her isn't a priority until F4... but no one can convince themselves it's better to take her to the finals). Personally I think this might be Malcolm's year... he didn't win before because he was so obviously an endgame threat but this season will be filled with endgame threats so if he can do Jeremy's game (surround himself with meat shields) he could slip into FTC and be hard to beat.

Spoiler!

Definitely agree about Malcolm, from looking at rest of the field this is his best shot. There's so many other threats, this is the one time he can play under the radar.

Also think the Kaoh Rong returnees could be in trouble.
