Well it wouldn't be Guatemala without someone returning and it really took me a while to decide out of the 2 seasons who should come back. But I actually think both Billy and Ruthie will stick around for a while and I can see both making the merge. We'll see

I think Ruth or Billy is going next. They are such easy targets. Unless if there is another twist. But they are great players, so maybe they'll stick around for a while. We'll see.

I'm totally geeked to see how our Billy and Ruthie do. It will be very tough for them to survive the first few TC's but if they do... look out!
I think the biggest challenge the two of them have is that it's one big tribe. Normally inactives are the first to go but since it's individual right now the inactives might linger for a while.

You guys don't actually think I'd throw two winners into Sea of Guatemalans without a lifejacket? The way I set up the game they should be around until atleast week 4. Plus each of them already know a person or two in the game that can probably help them out. So it should be very interesting.

Hmm.. this will be very interesting. But I gotta wonder, since they're playing this now, does that mean they forfeit their spot in All-Stars? I was wonderng why neither of them have been assigned to the Prediction Writers Lounge.
Oh well, like it has been stated, even with the Week 4 lifejacket, I think they won't last long.. not if people know they're past winners. It might get into some of the newer players heads. Nonethless, can't wait to see what occurs. WooWoo.
I'll see the first voted off at Survivor Live!

Actually this doesn't mean they ruined All-Star spots. I actually had a hard time picking the two returnees....I had thought first about Aras and Sally, then Brad and Bobby. But my final decision ended up being the winners. They aren't guarenteed week 4, I just see it hard having one of them go right off the bat.

Hey everyone Ruthie and Billy are back I think they will be able to pull it out and make jury both of them know some people on the cast so it may help them haaaa Bob is survivor Live Host good luck I will make my pre game impression BLAKE: Dustin SN: lunadarkhawk The only game I been with that guy, he was 1st voted out and told me it was his first game. Maybe he will learns of his mistake and make a good ranking BOBBY JON: Rich SN: zomgsurvivor4eva I play with him also, He was pre juror. But I think he can be a very good player, he can pulls out a good alliance. and I've heard that he was weird lol BRIANNA: Donna SN: dragonldy640 That girl been 5th in both game I played with her. She is a good player. Habitually, she is multi-alliance, but find herself at the bottom of the totem pole of both alliances DANNI: Allie SN: Slayers Emotion I play with her and she is a nice girl. She can put herself high in a good alliance JUDD: Doug SN: tang more tang Judd will be a threat. He will be a target in a early jury. I have no doubt he will be a juror STEPHENIE: Abigail SN: The Will To Try Well, she is also a threat and I know 100% she will ally with Ruthy. So it can be her downfall. but it may help her hidding. Billy: He is a very good player. he wins a game that I was with him. But, I dunno if he may overcome the winner threat. He may ally with Judd Ruth: Same at Billy. I think the winner will allign and made a terrible force if they have the number

I have played with a few of these players as well as Tina.
I am hosting a game where Brianna is playing in, and she seems to do well at all the challenges and like Tina said she finds herself in mutiple alliances. I think she will make it to at least jury though because her challenge abilities, but it might be looked at as an early threat with one big tribe.
I have played with Danni before, she is a good player and she is good at the social aspect of survivor.
Judd and I have played in a game before, him and I always had intelligent conversations that never really dealt with the game much, I think he might be out before jury, not really sure on this one.
Stephenie, I love this girl so much. She is very social and is a controlling player, she and I were very good alliances and she is a dangerous one if she makes it past the first few Tribal Council's.
Blake, he seems to second guess his game a lot. I currently have an alliance with him in another game and he always makes remarks about how he thinks he will be next. I am not sure how he will do. I might be able to get a better reading on him as the first few weeks go on.

Yeah Ruthie and Steph are friends and Billy aligning with Judd is very very likely....I also think that Billy and Ruthie will be working together. Possible 4-some? From those 4 they will be able to make something work out deals with people. Or we could see a group effort to oust Ruthie and Billy, which would shock me.

Aww, Jeffy. Thanks for considering me buddy.
I absolutely love those two coming back!!
They both are amazing in their styles and their styles are so unique. I am nervous for them, but want them to do well. I know Billy is capable of many things, he is a great friend and a great ally.
Ruthie is more of the alliance cut-throat player. She did so well in EI, I never even suspected her and I definitely under-estimated her.
I hope they stick around.
Gosh, this is fun...

Wow! I absolutely love it! It's alot easier to sit in here with ya'll and chat about them rather than play the game itself! ;D Nonetheless, I would've loved to. I'm happy for Ruth and Billy, though. Obviously the hott thing to predict about this round will obviously be the fate of Billy and Ruthie. I guess I'll make me debut of prediction writing for Guatemala with just that! I believe both players will do well! They are both already well-known players by several of these people and I have no doubts they will do well. Ruthie, to me, has the bigger advantage. Not only has she hosted several of these players and know what their confessionals say, she also has the benefit of the newcomers not knowing how manipulative she can really be. I think Ruthie has two sides to her game. There is the sweetie. The one everyone loves. Then there is the maipulative, strategic side to her. I personally love both. However, I learned all this from watching her in Exile Island: a luxury the newcomers don't have. I believe some of the players (or at least those that have played under Ruthie in her series) will be a little bit star-stricken and excited to get to play with her. Perhaps she will have the oppurtunity to maipulate a few. Regardless, I really like Ruthie and I really like her chances. I'm going to pick her to be one of the middle jury members. I know I'm probably bias to my season, but I think Billy has an excellent shot at running the table again! He is one smart cookie! He knows exactly the right words to say at exactly the right times. He is a genius, plain and simple. I believe there will be some players try to take him out, but I don't believe they will ever be able to. He is just too smart and just too good at challenges. I strongly believe Billy will be to this season what Stephenie was to CBS' version of Guatemala. Like Steph, I see him finishing around second but I don't believe he will win the game. Still, he is a great player and I'm sure it'll be fun to read all his confessionals. I'm truly envious to not be in the game... but my time will come. Maybe? Brad

P.S. Major props to Probst! You always have the best twists, best seasons, best casts, and you are by far the best host ever. (No offense Aras or Bobby or Danielle ) I'm seriously not even sucking up.. your seasons are amazing! ;D

I know Ruth Marie is good at the challenges which might make her a HUGE target early on especially in a big tribe like this. Because not only is Ruth Marie a past winner but she is a good competitor in the challenges. Unless Ruth tones down her challenge abilities or wins them all she might be an early boot.
As for Billy, as I mentioned before Stephenie and I were strong alliances and one of the major moves we made together was to vote off Billy in a past season. I used the whole "he has won two seasons before" advertisement to try to get him voted off and it worked. So Stephenie has the power to do it since she did it before with me. But if she alligns herself with Ruth like Probst predicts I think she will end up alligning herself with Billy as well, so I think Stephenie is a very important player to watch out for at the beginning.
