Day 1 Cast assessment
Nama
1. SOPHIE
I love her. She knows exactly what she's doing, she has one of the strongest PM games I've ever seen and it has evolved so much over the last few games she played. She is overwhelming these newbies and the fact is, they won't see that as a threat as most of us will, they will see that as "omg this person really loves me"
There is no way in hell she is going home pre-merge, she has high chances of being the most trustworthy and becoming the mole, which will be hilarious.
I can't wait until her inevitable paranoid tendencies hit her and she starts talking too much and slips stuff up.
Prediction: Mid-merge
2. SEMHAR
Semhar is good, not too good, but just good enough. She is a natural and I think she's gonna become Sophie's number 2. I just hope Sophie's paranoid nature won't cause Semhar to get voted out before her time, cause I can see Sophie being slightly threatened by her.
She knows her strength and she will use it.
Prediction: Final 3
3. COCHRAN
I didn't expect it but I really like him. He seems fresh but I think he will be in Sophie's alliance and outlive some of the more threatening people. I really hope he doesn't try to act shady or smart while playing cochran cause that will give him a boot way earlier.
Prediction: Final 3
4. WHITNEY
Total noob at first but she's getting the hang of it. She PMs a lot which is a good sign and has this adorable, non-threatening air about her.
This really made me laugh, so people PMing on Day 1 scares her. She's gonna be a mess, but an interesting mess to watch.
Prediction: Mid-merge
5. PAPA BEAR
Complete beginner as well, and a perfect match for Whitney. I think they will be a duo that Sophie can use for her alliance and I think this is the cut off for the alliance.
He will be completely non-threatening in the early stages but I hope he really turns it on later.
That don't work brother, that don't work
Prediction: Final 5
6. CHRISTINE
Unfortunately for her I think she's gonna get on people's nerves and she's gonna be on the outs. I don't see her successfully making an alliance early, but I may be wrong. Her PMs and short and uninspiring, and she really needs to step it up.
Prediction: Pre-merge
7. JIM
Holy crap I think he will be hilarious but I don't think he will do very well. He showed up late and his PMs are kinda on the funny side.
Prediction: Pre-Merge/Early merge
8. RICK
So vanilla.
Prediction: Pre-merge
9. ELYSE
No show.
Prediction: IDK.

Total noob at first but she's getting the hang of it. She PMs a lot which is a good sign and has this adorable, non-threatening air about her.
It also scares me that these people are chatting with me so early... feels like they know what they are doing and probably mean business.
This really made me laugh, so people PMing on Day 1 scares her. She's gonna be a mess, but an interesting mess to watch.
Prediction: Mid-merge

He will be completely non-threatening in the early stages but I hope he really turns it on later.
If I make it to the final 2 I don't care about a bitter or upset Jury who is full of people who I lied to, I only care about getting there.
That don't work brother, that don't work
Prediction: Final 5

8. RICK
So vanilla.
Prediction: Pre-merge
9. ELYSE
No show.
Prediction: IDK.
He is stumbling around the board, PMing groups of people by mistake, etc and people will underestimate him for that. He is also extremely likable because of it. He will likely be Kristina's little pet and ride her coattails for a while.
I too can read, Christine. I own a computer. What do you like to read? Words? Goodness, you're versatile aren't you? 
She needs to get here stat.
My head hurts.
