Jeff Probst walked onto a boat, with a pleased look on his face.
"We've been looking hard and well for new contestants for the upcoming Survivor Forest Maze. We've explored many video game franchises, like Mass Effect, Mario, and Blue Dragon. We've also covered TV shows, like Hetalia, My Little Pony, and How I Met Your Mother."
The contestants started to be lead, by producers, out onto the boat.
"I've picked out 16 great people, 8 men, and 8 women, to join us on another great season of Survivor. Last one remaining wins a special prize; $1,000,000! Let me give you my perspective of each castaway.
– – – – –
Name: Duck the Great Western Engine
Age: 44
Species: Engine
Job: Engine
Favorite Past Player: Dustin (Reals vs. OCs & Heroes vs. Villains)
Tribe: Volt
Jeff's Assessment: Duck is really engaged on the game. I really like the energy this guy has. I wonder if Duck can go far into the game, and actually bring home the money. He has the spirit to do so.

Name: Applejack
Age: 21
Species: Pony
Job: Apple Farmer
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Mossono
Jeff's Assessment: Applejack, if it works out for her, could be our fourth female winner. She has qualities that Samantha, Eevee, and Raine all had. She's also quite strong, something we haven't seen in a pony yet.

Name: Presea Combatir
Age: 25
Species: Human
Job: N/A
Favorite Past Player: Sprocket (Distant)
Tribe: Mossono
Jeff's Assessment: I think Presea will be a quiet, yet effective dark horse. She doesn't get in people's faces on her own free will, and she's quite strong for a young girl. The effects of that exsphere have worked wonders.

Name: Yuri Lowell
Age: 34
Species: Human
Job: Ex-Imperial Knight
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Volt
Jeff's Assessment: I really, really want to see Yuri make it all the way to the end. Yuri is quite hilarious, strong, and talks a good social game. If it all works out, Yuri could very well win.
– – – – –
Name: Ivan 'Russia' Braginski
Age: 42
Species: Human/Nation
Job: N/A
Favorite Past Player: Kruz (Emerald Hill & All-Stars)
Tribe: Volt
Jeff's Assessment: I don't know if Russia was our best candidate from Hetalia. I wanted so bad to get someone from Hetalia to appear on Survivor, and we got Russia. Who knows, perhaps he'll play a great game.

Name: Judith
Age: 35
Species: Krityan
Job: Dragon Rider
Favorite Past Player: Junior (Green Hill, SEGA All Stars, & All-Stars)
Tribe: Mossono
Jeff's Assessment: Judith is a very beautiful woman, but like Jada from Reals vs. OCs, she doesn't use it to her advantage. Actually, let me make that clear, NONE of the girls use their bodies. Judith is a prime example.

Name: Barney Stinson
Age: 32
Species: Human
Job: Not specified
Favorite Past Player: Banjo (SEGA All Stars & Redemption Island)
Tribe: Volt
Jeff's Assessment: I can tell you right now, Barney will be a major character this season, and I don't think anyone will disagree with me. Barney will be flirting his butt all the way to the end. Will it work? Or will it get him quickly voted off?
– – – – –
Name: Zaeed Massani
Age: 55
Species: Human
Job: Mercenary
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Volt
Jeff's Assessment: Zaeed reminds me of Hartman, except a year young, a lot stronger, and a larger ego. I don't think Zaeed will win, but I do think he'll make it to the merge. Zaeed will have to keep his ego in check if he wants to have a shot.
– – – – –
Name: Jiro
Age: 25
Species: Human
Job: Shadow User
Favorite Past Player: Jill (Fans vs. Favorites)
Tribe: Volt
Jeff's Assessment: Jiro's not going to last long. I'm actually upset to be saying that, because Jiro is quite intelligent, and could benefit a tribe. Jiro will have to dig deep in order to go far.
– – – – –
Name: Geno
Age: 32
Species: Puppet
Job: Star Piece Guardian
Favorite Past Player: Angela (Marble)
Tribe: Volt
Jeff's Assessment: I like Geno already. He's a no-nonsense kind of guy. You just have to love Geno and the way he looks at life. However, he will be seen as a threat in the game.
– – – – –
Name: Kasumi Goto
Age: 26
Species: Human
Job: Thief
Favorite Past Player: Kazooie (Cuties & Redemption Island)
Tribe: Mossono
Jeff's Assessment: Kasumi seems like your ordinary schoolgirl, but just by looking at her, you know she's trouble. She told me that she's keeping the hood over her eyes. I don't know how Kasumi can be trusted in the game of Survivor. We'll soon find out.
– – – – –
Name: Derpy Hooves
Age: 18
Species: Pony
Job: Mail Carrier
Favorite Past Player: Cynder (Cuties & Fans vs. Favorites)
Tribe: Mossono
Jeff's Assessment: I would definitely put Derpy in my alliance, because just like Bambi and Harry before her, she would make a perfect goat to the end. That said, will she put on a dumb impression during the game? Or will she put on a performance no one expected?
– – – – –
Name: Wooldoor Sockbat
Age: 22
Species: Sockbat
Job: N/A
Favorite Past Player: Woolio (Distant)
Tribe: Volt
Jeff's Assessment: Wooldoor, right off the bat, if he should ever open his mouth, everyone will want to kill him. He has an annoying voice, as he should since he's a Spongebob ripoff. However... Wooldoor should NOT be judged wrongly. He has plans up his sleeve, and can at times be taken seriously.

Name: Jack 'Subject Zero'
Age: 25
Species: Human
Job: Convict
Favorite Past Player: None
Tribe: Mossono
Jeff's Assessment: Jack was originally casted for Survivor Aquatic Ruin, but she was replaced with Dexter Morgan. Jack told me that she was glad she wasn't with 'those bozos' and that she's ready to play in the Forest Maze. My only tip to her: Keep. Your mouth. Shut!
– – – – –
Name: Zola
Age: 35
Species: Human
Job: Messenger to King Jibral
Favorite Past Player: Kazooie (Cuties & Redemption Island)
Tribe: Mossono
Jeff's Assessment: My opinion of Zola is... wow. She's all business and no laughing matter. She is definitely here for the cash prize. If the cards play out right, she'll remind me a little bit of Etna.
– – – – –
Name: Samara
Age: 43
Species: Asari
Job: Justicar
Favorite Past Player: Samantha (Koopa Beach)
Tribe: Mossono
Jeff's Assessment: Samara, like Zola, also is serious about the game, and isn't really interested in anything else. However, I'm thinking Samara will continue to live by her Justicar Code. If that's the case, she might be an early target.

The premier of Survivor Forest Maze will be February 6th, hopefully after Aquatic Ruin is finished.
