This is the Cast Assessment episode of Survivor: Madagascar - Heroes vs. Villains

Intro
Jeff For the past 10 seasons, we've been doing Survivor and it has attracted millions of viewers across the country and around the world. We've had some great players come into this game and only a select few of them have returned to compete in this season. When we did the Survivor: All-Stars season in Australia, I remember thinking that that season couldn't get any other season to compete with it. Well I was wrong. This season has the greatest collection of talent in Survivor History. A few of them have won this game, others have come close to winning while the rest look to get even closer. So I'm really excited for this season's cast.

Heroes
Jeff The Heroes tribe composes of ten players who played games that were deemed heroic.

Anna Lee


Jeff Anna Lee was a favorite on Survivor: Falkland Islands - Blood vs. Water. She had a good relationship, competitive relationship with her cousin Molly. The two did work with Andy to get the biggest threats out of the game and even Anna Lee took it above to a level no one thought she could achieve. However, she was blindsided by Molly and was sent to Redemption Island, where she ultimately fell to Katherine in the final Redemption Island challenge of the season. People have said she was a great player and hoped to see her as an all-star or a favorite. Well she's back as a hero and could be dangerous to win this time.

Monty


Jeff Monty was the stud on last season of Survivor: Bismarck Sea He and Oliver formed an alliance that was good and had strong potential to get to the end. However, they were outdone by Gordon and James and Monty was blindsided by Toby in the final five. The only thing that could work to Monty's advantage is that no one else knows how well he played in first season. That could also be a problem if Monty doesn't form relationships and get alliances. He might be a middle person in this game.

Phoebe


Jeff Phoebe is a celebrity on and off Survivor. As a TV actress, she dazzled us with her roles. On Survivor, she amazed us along with Hakeem in Survivor: World Invasion to pull of an incredible 10-2 comeback. The only reason she didn't win was her celebrity couldn't get by the jury and she lost by one vote. She looks to get one spot to the victor, but that will be tough since she is on everyone's radar as a huge celebrity.

Cam


Jeff Cam was an interesting choice as a hero. He faced early trouble on Survivor: Goa - Fans vs. Favorites when he was part of the minority alliance. He would help lead himself and Cole to take out Laura, who would return and go far last season. He also benefited Allen in the game before ultimately paying the price for being associated with him. Some call Cam's addition questionable. If Cam wants to be a respected hero, he's going to have to do more than just align with star players.

Morgan


Jeff Morgan came to Survivor: Falkland Islands - Blood vs. Water with a chip on her shoulder. She was among the first voted out to Redemption Island and would then go on a winning streak in Redemption Island duels before Andy knocked her out of the game. Her determination was so good we brought her back the next season on Survivor: Down Under - All-Stars. She finally got to the merge, but ended up being the first juror. She'll have to work her way to go very far. The problem though is that she plays hard when it comes to the middle of the game. She could be in the middle again or somewhere out first.

Fred


Jeff Fred's first appearance on Survivor: Portland Bight saw him as a third wheel to the alliance of Amy and Rudy. He did inspire us with his fight against Nathan in the challenge, which he won while battling the flu. He came back to Survivor: Goa - Fans vs. Favorites and immediately played a better game forcing idols to spare him for two Tribal Councils and helping his ally Jessica get far too. He lost in the fire-making challenge. Fred is the guy who comes up one day short. He wants to be in the end and he hopes to have his chance this time around.

Mandy


Jeff There are five players from Survivor: Qatar, which is the most on this season and four of them are on this tribe. Mandy played a strong game after her ally and girlfriend Marley was voted out. She fought back to get to the final four before losing in a fire making challenge to Orlando. She hopes to have a chance to get back to the final four. Yet, it's going to be tough given all she had to endure last time.

Bill


Jeff Everytime I think of Bill, I just laugh at his comedy and humorous jokes. I also marvel at his games. He took on the biggest alliances in Qatar and Survivor: Down Under - All-Stars and took them down. Whether by pressuring his fellow allies or playing idols, he and his Stuart stories got him far. Still, he feels he's the best player to not win Survivor. If he wants to win, he needs to deal with his peers who will probably go right after him.

Pam


Jeff Pam is another castaway who makes me laugh and smile. She does have her silly quirks and sayings. Still, if it wasn't for her move to blindside Stacy avoiding a revote, Pam would not be a hero. Her appearance in Survivor: Down Under - All-Stars was not much, but it still brought her wit that we love. However, she needs to understand that this a game and she has a chance to win a million dollars if she does play hard and well.

Orlando


Jeff Orlando was the biggest inspiration in Qatar. A former prisoner who has since turned his life around by winning the game is now a motivational speaker. He can be someone who can help his tribe whenever there is trouble. However, this game is all about trust and Orlando might be too trustworthy. The fact that he won the game before is going to work against him as 18 others look to knock him off the winner's stool. Still, he has been friendly and will be for everyone else.

Villains
Jeff The Villains tribe composes of ten players who played games that were deemed villainous.
