2. Kevin: For many of the same reasons as Bruno, I think Kevin is a strong contender here. I'm sure he's learned his lessons from his first game and is coming in well-prepared.
3. Dallas: There are plenty of warning signs that Dallas might go early again - he's stubborn and a drama magnet. But I also kinda have a good feeling about him. He's in a decent spot of not being one of the top targets but still likely to get into a majority.
4. Jackie: I think Jackie is the newbie to watch. She comes off a little ruthless and will probably be underestimated to start with. If she keeps her head down, then learns the game as she goes, she could be well-positioned for the win.
5. Neda: Probably the best player in this cast, and of this whole show. The problem is, everyone else knows it. She's coming in with a huge target on her back, but I don't want to fully write her off.
6. Mark: There's not really much more to this guy than looks, but those alone should help him coast for a while. If he can close the deal with a few comp wins, yeah, I could see it.
7. Cassandra: I'm a big fan of Cass and she's a great player but I think she's a big target and I don't think she'll be able to make the necessary changes to her game to overcome it.
8. Dillon: The best thing Dillon has going for him is that he's a big fan. But he also wants to win every comp, so he could be targeted as a threat sooner rather than later.
9. Sindy: There's a lot of negative baggage around Sindy, but she's not one of the big threats, so why would they target her? She's a capable comp beast and if she can avoid early attention, she might go underestimated.
10. Dre: I'm not sure what to think of Dre. She didn't seem super familiar with the show, but she's obviously smart if she's Masters student, so I'll give her a chance.
11. Ika: As entertaining as Ika is, she's not a particularly subtle player so she might find it hard to stay out of the crosshairs. She'll be willing to make big moves though, so hopefully she can get out the threats before they get her.
12. Demetres: This guy is not particularly likeable, but if he's able to bro-down with Dallas/Bruno/Dillon etc he could end up going deep, and from there, who knows?
13. Gary: I'm not sure if Gary has it in him to be a gamer. If you can't even handle slop, you probably can't handle the game. It's still possible, but of all the vets, he's the least likely to be able to pull it off.
14. William: I don't have high hopes for William. He's coming off as a villain early on, which makes people unlikely to trust him. I think there might be a culture issue too (he's French).
15. Karen: She's funny and a fan of the show, but age will work against her. No woman over 30 has even made it to the jury in BBCAN, and I don't think that will change.
16. Emily: I think Emily is super cute and is actually probably my favorite newbie. But she is not gonna win. She's too naive and out of her depth.
