Casaya is definitely the tribe I'm interested in seeing develop the most so far simply because of the lack of connection within the group! I think this is a very good group of castaways.
AJ - I think AJ had a strong start last night. He was on the tribe call the entire time and was seem approachable and kind. He was cool, calm and collected. Completely interested to see him move forward in the game.
Alex - He was extremely talkative in the call, at times it seemed like he was trying to force the conversation to happen. I'd say one mistake he did last night was leave the call to go play another game because players like Ricky note that. Also he played another game with Ricky in which he was who eliminated Ricky. So he is going to either get buddy buddy with Ricky or get buddy buddy with everyone else to survive.
Aman - As expected he was extremely nice in the call. I think he has a lot of potential to be smart and strategic. But it all depends if he is going to be able to get to the point where he can use his strategy to get far in the game because at this point i'd say he is almost the misfit in the tribe.
Billy - He was great for it being his first game, very social and nice. A lot of people are going to like him. I think if he keeps it up, he will definitely be someone to watch for later on in the game.
Ricky - I'm excited to see Ricky play in an all-male tribe and not have any "auto" alliances. It'll be interesting to see how he does. However, I'm definitely not excited to him looking forward to meet up with some of his friends he has in the other tribes. And even less stoked about him playing a game with people from other tribes. . . He made it known to others, I'd say that'd be a good reason to take him out but let's see.
Ryan - He missed out on the call last night. Although the ones that miss out on the calls tend to be the first ones out, I really think Ryan is likable and active enough to jump back. He also have enough time from now to the first tribal council to get to know his tribe-mates very well.
Overall, very stoked to see how this tribe goes on.
Tribe Ranking (based on night one): 1) AJ 2) Billy 3) Ricky 4) Alex 5) Ryan 6) Aman

This tribe was definitely the most talkative and active one. Everyone seemed to click on night one and just have a smooth easy conversation as a group. Now, no one from this tribe has made any confessionals so it's hard to predict the dynamic. I simply just hope that the three known ORGers Taylor/Dayle/Clayton don't just team up just because of that reason. I don't think there was any standouts in the tribe because everyone seemed to be at the same field. (Going to be short)
Clayton - I think he will be quiet but deadly in this game. He is very strategic and I can completely see him and David getting along. I'm excited to see what he is thinking from his first confessional!
David - I'm so excited for David because he is either going to be REALLY good or really messy and overplay his hand! He is very dedicated and passionate about games so I'm ready for his gameplay!
Dayle - She's very active in the group chat, I can already see her playing a very good social game. But it can either be taken as something good that people would like her, or as something bad that people may think she's playing too hard. I'd like to see her play this game away from Ricky as far as possible.
Jake - I LOVE THIS GUY. He literally told his tribe he had a threesome. His confessionals will be hilarious I can already tell, cant wait! I hope he isn't booted from his tribe for being a bit different to the rest because this kid is going to be entertaining.
Lee - He was very social last night which impressed me. I thought he was just not going to be very talkative and be in danger or lay low at first but he is doing well at integrating to the tribe.
Taylor - I'm excited to see what approach Taylor takes this game. I feel like she's either going to start dominating early, or wait until later to pick it up. Regardless, I'm looking forward to her gameplay.
Tribe Rank (based on liking) 1) Jake 2) David 3) Taylor 4) Dayle 5) Lee 6) Clayton
Tribe Rank (based on safety) 1) Dayle 2) Taylor 3) David 4) Lee 5) Clayton 6) Jake

Viveros was the tribe that stood out the least to me last night. They were all on and off the call but there wasn't anything real special about them in particular. This tribe is going to be very interesting, but disappointed, with the connections that already are within the tribe.
Adam - He is definitely coming into the tribe as a minority i'd say simply because of the previous connections that were already established before. However, Adam is extremely smart and I think he has a good understanding of who is dangerous connection wise in his tribe so it will come down to how he approaches it. It may end him early or get him far.
Ahmae - So She is extremely active and exciting as a person and player. I'm so glad she's playing. However, she is very connected not only on her tribe but she knows people from other tribes as well. She's friends with Christen and with Don's brother so those are two people she's lean towards. It is very unlikely for Ahmae to leave early in the game, but it'll be interesting if her connections do leave how differently she'd play.
Caleb - I think Caleb was great on that call last night, he was friendly and talking just the right amount. He totally left some good impressions on the others about him! Caleb could potentially do very well in the game! He was PMing me about his tribe being shady already so I'm looking forward to seeing what he meant!
Christen - She's another very active and dedicated played that i'd love to see play without her connections. She pretty much made it seem like she made an alliance with everyone in her first confessional. Already playing a messy game? haha
Don - I want Don to be a savage in this game, he is definitely capable. He has some great humor and has the potential to be a great character. I hope he uses that Ahmae knows his brother to his advantage and not to be completely blindly loyal to her.
Trevor - I love this guy but I can completely see him being the first person they vote out because of how quiet he was. It doesn't help him that people in his tribe have previous connections so he really needs to step up his social game so that he isn't the first one out for being the quietest.
Tribe Ranking 1) Ahmae 2) Christen 3) Caleb 4) Don 5) Adam 6) Trevor

First Impressions
So it’s been over 24 hours since the game started and this cast has been really really active. Just going to give some quick thoughts on everyone who has stood out. Casaya
AJ- Dude has been the best player overall. Really impressed on how he has basically been on call since the game started. I can’t possibly see him leaving anytime soon. Everyone on his tribe likes him.
Billy- For this being his first game at all of anything, Billy has been really really good. He has really found his groove with this tribe. Really active and even has Ricky saying he’s his number 1. He is in the same spot as AJ tbh. No way he gets voted off while on Casaya. Ricky- Ricky really is using the right strategy of just being present and active enough to make it till tribe swap. If he tried to be bossy and captain the tribe like he usually does, people like AJ would be able to spot it. Ricky knows this is a fairly new tribe and people he doesn’t know at all. Impressive, just hope he sticks with these people and doesn’t jump ship for his friends.
Aman- I really like this guy but I don’t know how far he will go. He’s reallyyyy nice but he just doesn’t seem to connect with the main 3 or 4 people other than maybe AJ. With Ryan being inactive, i think he can make it past the first tribal but after that it will be tough for him.
Alex- Alex has been so-so so far. He is by far the youngest person on the tribe but still is able to mingle and connect with the tribe more than Aman. He has a past beef with Ricky which may or may not end up hurting him.
Ryan- Really inactive so far. Only missed the first 24 hours completely but that time is so important as everyone is already starting to bond. He is saying he might also be awol tomorrow too which might be the nail in the coffin for him if Casaya ends up losing the scavenger hunt.
All in all, Casaya is by far the most active and impressive tribe. I can see a main 3 of AJ/Billy/Ricky forming with either Alex or Aman being the 4th. If they stick together the whole game they will be a formidable force.
La Mina
I wasn’t really on for their calls and they haven’t posted many confessionals so I’m going to refrain for posting judgment on them right now. I really like Jake tho and hope he goes far
Viveros
Probably the most talkative and dynamic tribe. Everyone has a really strong personality and will most likely be the most messy if they ever lose a challenge. Can’t wait for their eventual meltdown.
Ahmae- There aren’t any official captains in XTC but Ahmae is the closest thing for her tribe. She is by far the most active person in the cast and really dedicated. The only thing disappointing about her is that had connections coming in. We tried our best to make sure nobody knew each other on their tribes but this girl literally met up with Don and is randomly tight with Christen. Can’t blame her for knowing people but it would suck to see people like Trevor leave because he didn’t know Ahmae before hand.
Trevor- Might end up being the misfit on the tribe just because he is the most calm and collective lol. He really would;ve been a better fit on Casaya or La mina but lets see what he can do with the cards he was dealt. He seems like a really good player so he might be able to find his way out of the hole.
Adam- Adam has surprisingly been playing a pretty good game so far. If he can keep his emotions in check, he could do good. He has a bond with Christen and Trevor said he liked him so he is making good impressions. The only thing is if he ends up gunning for Ahmae it ma backfire on him.
Caleb- Caleb is a really really entertaining character. He has a wicked social game and pretty much everyone likes him on the tribe. He is definitely making it till at least swap.
Don- The only thing going for Don so far is that Ahmae already had a connection with him. Trevor and Christen don’t necessarily like him as much as she does.
Christen- Everyone likes her on the tribe. She is playing a really good social game. Basically everyone considers her their number 1 which can be good or bad but i believe she will make it work. Very impressive so far.
TOP 5 TOP 5 TOP 5
1. AJ 2. Christen 3. Billy 4. Jake 5. Ahmae

Day 4Before stating my opinion on each of the tribe, I'll state my opinion on everyone as a whole. I think everyone in the cast is pretty great so it just makes the criteria to stay safe just that much harder.
The Casaya Tribe is probably the strongest tribe out of the three. The social dynamics within the tribes are interesting. Billy, AJ & Ricky have formed a little trio already. I think these people are great together, they have fun and get drunk. I'd like to see how these three move forward. Another thing I like about the three is that AJ and Billy don't seem like the type of blindly be loyal to Ricky as many people previously been in past games. I'd say those three are the standouts of their tribe. Aman is extremely active competition wise and tribe chat wise, but he doesn't seem like one to jump into things so it'll take him a bit to get his foot wet. Also, the other boys in his tribe couldn't be any more different to him so it's hard for him to connect. Alex has been active as well, his age difference doesn't help him in this tribe. I don't see him getting really close to any of the players in his tribe. He may try to work the connection with Ricky , but that's about it. Ryan has been the least active out of the 6, he stepped it up this morning and submitted a good amount of videos (more than Aman) that may have helped him a bit. I think Ryan's days are numbered in his tribe, the only thing that he has going for him is that a tribe-swap may happen before they lose immunity. I still haven't lost my faith in Ryan.

I truly have no idea where this tribe stands. Haven't had much feedback confessional-wise or alliance-wise from this tribe. And interesting enough, there is a huge chance that this is the tribe that ends up going to tribal. Based on the little I've seen, Dayle is probably the most active chat-wise. Based on Lee's confessional about his tribe, he was getting along with Dayle and Taylor which doesn't surprise me as they are probably the most approachable. He also spoke about David being a flirt which is something that hurt him in the last game I played with him. David has a flirty personality that comes across as him trying to manipulate someone rather than making a connection with them. I don't know to what extend he tries to manipulate vs genuine but it does get him in trouble a lot. He did make a confessional that he wanted to work with the big names instead of targeting them which is probably very smart. Jake scared me to be on the outs of his tribe at the start, I think he has a better chance of surviving tribal council now that Clayton seemed to be the least active one. It's really hard to tell with this tribe, we'll see but my prediction is that either Jake or Clayton will be leaving.

The Viveros tribe is probably the messiest but the most dedicated tribe. Their tribechat is a MESS, there's no conversation going on there - it's pretty much random things. Ahmae has pretty much taken kind of a leader role in her camp where she's constantly reminding them to post stuff and organizes things. I think this works on Ahmae now because she's in a tribe with people she previously had connections to like Don and Christen but it may be taken the wrong way by some people if she comes off bossy. Christen is very dedicated and likable so I see her doing very well in this tribe and overall game. Adam has done a really good job within his tribe at being likable. I don't know how successful he will be in the game overall with people like Ricky and Lee disliking him. Don is playing a very under the radar game at this point and I don't see him becoming a target any time soon. Caleb and Trevor would be on the outs of this tribe which sucks because they are awesome personality that fell into that position based on situation not necessarily their fault.
