Charley: Alright, so we are here with Bailey, a former ORG contestant and a mod for

Survivor All Stars! Bailey, how are you?



Bailey: Doing fantastic, glad that the secret of the cast is out now!



Charley: How was it having to go so long without being able to tell anyone the cast that they were all asking about?



Bailey: Oh god it sucked. There was times that I really wanted to tell people because I knew how great it was, but I kept my mouth shut. I'm glad that burden is off my shoulders!



Charley: Well when you guys were planning the cast, was it difficult knowing you could only let two people per season in and so many people would get cut?



Bailey: Oh yes. No matter what contestant we were talking about. Each of them contributed to their season an made it how it was, and deciding which were more "All-Staresque" was both challenging and heartbreaking. But at the end of the day, I think we chose the best possible cast!



Charley: So when you were picking who to cast, what did you take into account?



Bailey: Obviously, we first took into account their gameplay in their previous season. "Who were they? How did they make it as far as they did? How was their attitude when they played?" as well as whether they would be interesting to see play again. Other factors included how active they were on the Wiki and whether they were in good standings.

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Charley: Was every season difficult to chose from? Or were there some where the stars kind of stood out?

<p style="margin-left:0.11cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Bailey: Yeah, there were definitely some seasons that were easier to choose from than others. With two contestants quitting and two of them hosting All Stars it was pretty easy to pick out Mark and Skandi from Switzerland. And Laos and Cuba were pretty obvious choices as well. But seasons like Nepal, Korea, and Cote D'Ivoire had SO MANY contestants that were All Star material that it made casting from their seasons difficult.

<p style="margin-left:0.11cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Charley: So who were some of the people that had to be cut?

<p style="margin-left:0.11cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Bailey: We had an All star qualification season where several people who were possible All Stars competed for two spots on the season so we could test some twists.. We also considered Lucy and Mihai, but due to them being inactive on the wiki we passed them up, and several contestants declined, like Amir and Emma.

<p style="margin-left:1.16cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Charley: How do you think the all stars qualification went in terms of finding cast members?

<p style="margin-left:0.11cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Bailey: Several great people went out early, but for the most part, I think it did a pretty good job.

<p style="margin-left:1.16cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Charley: Do you think they will just be accepted in as any other cast members, or will have to work extra hard to fit in?

<p style="margin-left:0.11cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Bailey: Nah I don't think so. In this game, I think they're just going to be another All Star!

<p style="margin-left:1.16cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Charley: So do you think the winners will be targeted right away?

<p style="margin-left:0.11cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Bailey: Oh I hope not, it would stink to see any of the winners go just because of their first place status. I hope people won't band against them because of it.

<p style="margin-left:1.16cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Charley: How do you think the season will play out?

<p style="margin-left:0.11cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin- bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Bailey: I don't think anyone who is making the merge is going to be considered a hero. Everyone wants to achieve or defend the title of Sole Survivor. So i believe it will be a super cutthroat game.

<p style="margin-left:1.16cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Charley: Do you think there will be any players trying to redeem themselves from their last games?

<p style="margin-left:0.11cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Bailey: Oh definitely, it's different from Revival this season, where barely anyone made the merge. A lot of these people were as close as one immunity win or even one jury vote from winning tier game. They had the taste of Sole Survivor in their grasp and it was snatched away from them. And on the other side of the coin, we have six winners who are now trying to defend their titles so across the board, everyone's fighting to prove that they're the best.

<p style="margin-left:1.16cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">

<p style="margin-left:0.11cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Charley: Alright Bailey, so is there anything else you want to tease about the season?

<p style="margin-left:0.11cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Bailey: Actually I have two! So first, the first reward challenge is going to require so much teamwork and collaboration that several people may be at each other's throats by day one. And the tribes are going to be divided in a very interesting way, but that's all I can say!

<p style="margin-left:1.16cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Charley: Okay, well thanks for coming on!

<p style="margin-left:0.11cm;margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;">

<p style="margin-right:0.13cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border:1ptsolidrgb(0,0,0);padding:0.05cm;">Bailey: No problem! Thanks for having me!
