Survivor 2015: Jeff Probst Reviews White Collar Tribe – Masaya

Jeff Probst is back and has brought his Survivor 2015 cast review this week with the his focus first on the Masaya “White Collar” tribe.

With the three opposing tribes it’s going to be interesting to watch not only the internal tribal dynamics but also how they’ll interact with the other tribes. With the added pressure of not just being divided, but being divided by “class” could that add to the expectations and their behavior? Will the “white collar” tribe get all hoity toity when it comes to the others or will the class walls fall much easier?

Jeff runs us through the yellow tribe, Masaya, with his initial thoughts and expectations on each of these Survivor 2015 cast members.

So Kim: “If she lasts awhile, is going to be delicious to watch,” says Jeff. Now maybe he has reason to think she could be an early vote-out or maybe he’s just anxious to see her stick around and cause some trouble. Jeff says So is charming and beautiful but she’s also very competitive which should make her a fierce member of the white collar tribe on Survivor.

Joaquin Souberbielle: Jeff says Joaquin is a smart, good looking guy who doesn’t mind owning up to his ego. His charm and flirty ways could help Joaquin with the ladies, but he also risks another alpha male deciding there can be only one.

Shirin Oskooi: Shirin’s biggest challenge will be her intensity, says Jeff. She’s really, really smart but Shirin will have to scale back her intensity if she wants to last on Survivor, observes Jeff.

Tyler Fredrickson: First trouble spot here. Jeff says he thinks Tyler “will have trouble in this game because I don’t know how well he blends.” There’s an expectation that Tyler could be left waiting to be invited in to the fold while the tribe moves on without him.

Carolyn Rivera: Jeff thinks we might have our sleeper here with Carolyn. He warns she could be someone the tribe underestimates if they don’t dig deeper and find that she’s a “really savvy player.” Jeff sees an “east coast street sense about her.”

Max Dawson: Not only a student of Survivor, but also a teacher. Max taught a college level course focused on Survivor, but can he put academia in to practice on the beaches of Survivor Worlds Apart? Jeff is uncertain if Max is really so arrogant as he looks or if that’s just part of his plan. Probst likes that Max knows the game but admits it’s no guarantee he’ll win Survivor 2015.
