Cole Medders, 24, Wilderness Therapy Guide Everyone is going to love Cole. He loves the outdoors and is going to be a major provider for his tribe and huge challenge threat. There is also not a mean bone in his body. Based off of his profession and his lifestyle of living in his Prius, he seems like he makes big sacrifices to not only take care of the kids his job gives him but also participate in these activities that he make him such an outdoors guy. Don't expect to much strategic upside for him though. He seems to me like he is going to be the guy that doesn't realize he is playing a great social game and that he is a huge threat at the end. He is also going to be an Individual Challenge threat. He is going to be able bro down with the guys and the girls are just going to love him. If he can go on an Immunity run, watch out for him at the end of the game. Prediction: Merge
Joe Mena, 34, Probation Officer Even though he is a probation officer, lets no kid ourselves. This is the cop this season. Any other season this guy might be alright, but coming off a season where Sarah Lecina won and she credits Tony for a lot of her game play, this guy is going to be in a rough spot. He looks like a cop! He of course is going to say that he isn't a cop, but someone is going to sniff this out. Plus this guy can't swim either. Yes he said that he just learned to swim for the show, but its a given that there is going to be episode where he loses Immunity for his tribe because he volunteered to swim and couldn't. He is going to try to take control and it just isn't going to work. Any other season, he has a chance. Just not this one. Prediction: Pre-Merge
