Tonight, it begins.

But even though he’s just a podcaster he’s still a big, physical, athletic guy.

Big Cat

Big Cat is probably the worst contestant in Surviving Barstool history.

So he is back this season with a vengeance, looking to redeem himself and the Big Cat name.

Obviously BC understands social dynamics, how to build successful team around him.

Biz

Ollllll' Paul Bissonnette.

He is what the people refer to as “a beauty”.

The question is- can he be cut throat?

Is he too nice and charming for this game?

We don’t see Caleb often, but when we do, he’s usually doing something awesome.

Caleb is great at nurturing relationships and getting people to like him, valuable skills in this game.

Dave

You guys know Dave- The most honest man I’ve ever met!

The Dave dynamic obviously speaks for itself- he is everyone’s boss, and people like working for him.

The scariest thing it’s possible for you to do is stab your boss in the back.

But it’s also a game for $250,000!

Having him in the game, to me, is the most interesting part of it all.

Francis

Everyone knows Francis the lunatic.

He’s also very smart though and knows his image and how he is perceived.

Gillie

I don’t know much about Gillie besides he loves weed and the Philadelphia Eagles.

He also has close to 4 million Instagram followers which is nothing to shake a stick at.

Kelly Keegs

Keegs has done other Barstool reality shows before and is never one to shy away from controversy.

Kirk

We all know Kirk.

He is smart, but can easily fly off the handle.

He is kind, but if you fuck him over he will make your life 100x worse.

He’s highly competitive and will stop at nothing to win.

Klemmer

6'3, 97 pound Chris Klemmer is….well….he’s Chris Klemmer.

He is extremely opinionated and strong-willed, often to a fault.

Megan Making Money

Another reality show veteran at Barstool, MMM is charming and well liked by all.

She has shown she is able to think through situations and make the tough decisions when need be.

Also great at making sandwiches, so I’ve been told.

MMM is a glue guy through and through.

Mintzy

I’m not sure how he weaseled his way into this show.

No offense to Mintzy, but come on.

Like…come on.

Moobie

I think Moobie will prove to be a stronger competitor than people will originally give her credit for.

It’s hard to build the sort of following she has without being relatable and good in social situations.

She’s also just fun to be around, sort of like how Feits made it far last season.

Ria

Ria is yet another strong, smart, and well liked member of the cast.

But I also don’t know who she is close to in the cast outside of Robbie Fox.

Rico Bosco

Rico, Rico, Rico.

It’s so hard to root against Rico.

The thing working against Bosco is obviously his brain, which is not wired correctly.

But once you enter the arena, none of that matters.

Rone

Champion battle rapper.

A scheming mother fucker.

I was glad Rone was cast on this show because his brain works in mysterious ways.

Once you think you have Rone figured out, he changes the rules.

Smitty

I just hope he’s ok. Wallo

Wallo went to jail for 20 years, got out, and is now a multi-millionaire.

It’s impossible to bet against Wallo accomplishing anything.

Funny, interesting, and influential without being over-powering, Ryan Whitney is my pick to win.

Will Compton

Last year’s winner is back to try and defend his crown.

Can someone go back to back?

If anyone can, it’s Will.

WSD winning this would be like me dating Sydney Sweeney.

Theoretically possible, like in 1 world out of a billion, it’s possible.

I just hope we get a funny WSD moment.

If he wins and I’m wrong I’ll chain myself to a statue in Chicago.

That’s my thoughts on the cast.

I truly feel it’s anyone’s game to win besides Mintz or WSD.

Buckle up buckaroos, the new season starts now!
