The game has started! Yay!
First off, the cast is so effin' strong! For those iS nerds, Evan is Sandy's brother and Vest (or Tony) is the boyfriend of Arabia and Heroes vs. Villains cast member Bud who just missed out on getting into Botswana. Kyle was also cut from Botswana but they fit better in this arrangement.
Out of the gate I love O'Henry, he's very positive, confident, passionate about his craft and already he's trying to form bonds with everybody. Markos is another guy I'm really feeling could do something memorable, from his confessionals it seems as though he's struggled with being accepted and that maybe he can use this to turn it all around and build confidence, it's a story I'm really interested in being developed as the rounds go by. Khaya and Arsen are without any doubt an automatic alliance due to their connections outside of the game, Mike is on people's radar for being very well liked and that's really helping him right now, Gloria is a mess, she's definitely making everyone aware of when she's talking and that nobody else can talk or interject and it appears that she may struggle with some of the females of the cast. Lila and Malibu are two great additions who I'd want to see go far not because of their backgrounds and what they've done, during the auditions they were well spoken and offered a lot. Brianna, Emily and Evan are wildcards to me because they're not really doing much but since it's early days it could merely be strategic. Kyle in terms of group conversations provides the biggest positive reception, he's engaging with everyone and making them feel good, Max also has a strong social game from the outset, Vanessa appearing to be ditzy is endearing once you buy into it and she's also going to have people come to her because of that. Vest is somebody that I'm interested to watch play because his boyfriend is one of the old-school Villains and whether or not he'll emulate that same archetype. David could be thrown in the wildcard category but he's got the whole mysterious persona thing I could really dig and finally Warren who I've not seen of late, hopefully he's just going to play UTR until the time is right.
Alliance wise I've only counted two, there's definitely more out there though.
MGO: Max, Gloria and O'Henry Girls Alliance: Vanessa, Gloria, Kay, Malibu, Brianna

I'm really excited to see O'Henry play, because he always go deep with his social game every round he's in. I'm also liking Markos too, he's addicting me to watch his confessionals. VANESSA in a alliance potentially is also making me happy, and for Max.... I saw his video but clueless on where his game is going right now.

I wasn't sure what I thought about Markos but then he drew me in when he said he's gonna pay homage to all the iSurv1vor winners by utilizing some part of their strategy at various points in the game. He also said he will draw strateguc inspiration from unlikely sources (video games, tv, movies, etc). I'm curious to see what he'll do with this idea, so I hope he stays in long enough to do some of these things. Also I want a shoutout.

I'm really excited to see O'Henry play as well. He's really well spoken and has a good head on his shoulders. Glo is a big nut, but she's a lot of fun! She'll be interesting to watch as well.. I really hope Evan isn't the first to go... or one of the first. He needs to step up his social game. Haven't seen him in the skype chats too much yet.. I'm excited to see what's in store for everyone

This is a really interesting cast to me just because they're all fresh faces and so many of them seem so... new.
Glo is someone that's entertaining to watch but man I wouldn't be able to stand playing with her haha. I'm definitely not her "type of gay" or whatever. The gay guys she loves are the ones that put up with her and think it's hilarious to keep someone like that around; that's definitely not me. She'd stick around for as long as challenges are won then baiiiii as far as I'm concerned. Jermaine and Britti had to figure out a way to cut her off during the interview and end it otherwise it'd have gone on forever.
Definitely liked O'Henry from the onset as well as Markos for pretty much similar reasons to what Tucker said. I haven't fully bought in to Vanessa's ditzy act.
Such fun. :3

I love this cast. Glo is insane. O'Henry is super social, Max is adorable, and I really hope that he continues to feel accepted in the iSurv1vor family. (We're awesome!). Malibu is going to be the hipster of the game. In conversations early on she was already saying things like "no one here would know people i have seen in concert" etc. To me that equals to "i heard this band/song before they we're famous." Matt is hot (come on we're all thinking it), but also seems to be well thought, which is going to be fun to watch. Kyle definitely is working that social game, I think he came in a bit later than everyone else, but is in one of the better positions. I can't wait to see how the twist plays out. I'm sure I have more thoughts but to be honest, I'm too exhausted to think.

Do we have any updates on the tribes? Because all I'm seeing so far is Mike telling us almost everything in detail (which I love). But it's like no one else is doing really anything, except for O'Henry, Markos and Max. I know it's only Day 2, but wouldn't they some sort of idea by now on thoughts of the game at this point?

Not too much going on yet.. there are a few inactives right now, but hopefully that turns around. So far there seem to be two alliances. 4HorseMAN = Max, Mike, Arsen and David and SURVIVOR GIRLS = Glo, Vanessa, Kay (no offense to her, but she is a complete airhead.. sorry girl, but get it together), Malibu and Bri.. I think that alliance includes all the girls except for Emily and Lila.. Not too much game talk so far, but again, it's only day two. I haven't been invited to many group chats either, so I may be missing something lol...

They are the two named alliances at least and the first round is usually pretty quiet. We have to remember as well that for the most part they're transitioning over to proboards for the first time and it's their first long-time game coming out of tengaged. By now they've played 12 games and had 134 arguments with each other - when the game gets faster they'll start expressing more.

There seems to be a mixed-group in the works, Arsen, Emily and Lila are working together with Lila wanting to reach out to Vanessa and Warren to create a five-strong alliance. Nothing is concrete as yet.
Lila is very hesitant about Glo, she's looking at her for first boot.
