Portland Bight Cast Assessment

This is the Cast Assessment episode of Survivor: Portland Bight

Story
Jeff We're here at Portland Bight, Jamaica and I really love this cast. I think this cast will make this season one of the best in Survivor history. It's hard to know that because we've had seasons where we didn't think would be successful and they turned out to be great. On the other hand, we had seasons that we thought would be great turn out to be not so great. But this is one of those times I feel this will be a great season. The two tribes are set and I think it's time to look at each of them.

Alcoa
Jeff Alcoa is made up of players from the East Coast. They're some very interesting characters on the show.

Daphne
Jeff Daphne is a student and she has it all. She's got the brains, toughness, and a good personality. The only concern I have is that she could be seen as an early threat in this game. If she makes it to the merge, it will a great accomplishment.

Dexter
Jeff Dexter's personality is that of a surfer dude. A lot of people may think of him as dumb. But in reality, he's a smart lawyer who just happens to be a surfer. I think he makes it very far into this game with his likeness and possibly be the next Fabio on this season.

Ernie
Jeff Ernie will go in as one of the favorites to win this game. He's got the physical side. Plus, he was a valedictorian at his high school. He also saves lives as a firefighter. So I wouldn't be surprised if he made it all the way to the end.

Kendra
Jeff Kendra comes in with some good and bad qualities. Her likeness is great and she does have an intelligence that is rated higher than two-thousand law students combined as she says. But her physical game could bring her tribemates down. So she might be an early exit.

Mavis
Jeff Mavis is the oldest player out here at fifty-years-old. I think the only reason she gets far is if she is seen as a likable person who uses simple strategies to get everyone else out. But she needs to impress her tribemates more or else she'll go home empty-handed.

Nathan
Jeff Nathan has a brash ego. He reminds me of Terry Deitz in Survivor: Panama. He's brash, cocky, and knows he can win challenges. He is safe in the merge, unless his attitude causes problems. But by the time he gets there, he's the number one target for everyone else.

Prim
Jeff Prim is the biggest mystery on the island. She comes in with nothing to bring out from our perspective. After talking to her, I feel like I don't know what she'll do on this show. Either be a great player or don't be a great player. This has the makings of an early exit for her.

Tanner
Jeff Tanner has some qualities that Todd Herzog had in Survivor: China other than being gay. He can be sneaky and pull off strategic moves. The only question I have for him is will his game be too hard and could it cost him. I think Tanner can make a deep run here.

Wayne
Jeff Wayne is probably the least likely guy to win this game. I think Wayne believes inside he can win. But looking at him and interviewing him, there was a sense of wanting to go home hours into the game. So if Alcoa goes to Tribal Council, he might as well pack his bags, get ready and be happy.

Oracabessa
Jeff Oracabessa is filled of people from the West Coast tribe. There are some people that can cause drama. But there are those that audiences will like.

Amy
Jeff Amy is
