Special Guest: W123 aka Will (Main Host of Cote d'Ivoire)

 Richie: Hello and welcome to the #ORGAfterShow!

 Will: Glad to be here

 Richie: How does it feel to be hosting the next ORG Season?

 Will: Well, at first it was actually a little bit of a shock and disappointment because I was really looking forward to hosting with Crtha. But she felt that it was for the best and I don't hold it against her at all. Luckily I have my co-hosts, Eddie, Charlie, Wesley and Gerard who have been a big help in making this season the best it can be.

 Richie: Do you think your season will be the last with new players?

 Will: I'd hope not, I think our problem was that we just weren't advertising the season very well early on. However, Alfons has been a big help with getting the word out (by spamming every users message wall no less.) So I think at the end of the day we'll still be able to have plenty more seasons with newbies.

 Richie: If this season goes well would you ever think of returning to host again?

 Will: I'd love to host more seasons, either as the main or co-host. It's been really fun coming up with all the challenges and little twists that hopefully will make this season great.

 Richie: Do you think Alfons bidding only one more season is a beginning of a new chapter of Survivor ORG Wiki?

 Will: A new chapter? Depends on what you mean by that. If you mean seeing different people host more often than obviously yes. But Alfons has been a good "leader" per say of the wiki and I hope that even without him that we'll continue to keep making these ORGs.

 Richie: What has it felt like to go through numerous hosting changes for Cote?

 Will: It's been a little overwhelming honestly, for about a couple weeks we didn't have any other official hosts other than myself and Eddie. But I'm grateful for the team we've managed to put together and hopefully everyone else is too.

 Richie: Could you say how many applicants you have received for Cote?

 Will: I believe we have about 27-28 applicants at the moment, we also have a few people who have been recruited.

 Richie: When will the cast be released?

 Will: We're planning on releasing the cast a day or two before the season starts, the tribe names and colors will be released on the 15th so there is something to look forward to before that.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> Richie: What are you looking for from applicants?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> Will: We're looking for several things, who looks interesting, who seems to have put more effort into making their application, and especially whether or not they actually submitted a score for tribe sorting challenge.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> Richie: What about who posted first?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> Will: The way I see it, the applications process was made in order to phase out the previous method of "first come, first serve", so the order in which they are sent in doesn't affect who we've included.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> Richie: Has Alfons played a part in the casting of Cote?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> Will: He's definitely been a welcome help, seeing as he's done this several times before, while at the end of the day the hosts still have final say in the cast Alfons is simply helping us get the best people we possibly can.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> Richie: Has he recommended anybody?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> Will: Yes he has, I actually know some of the people he's recommended and I know that they are good.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> Richie: Well thanks for being a guest on the #ORGAfterShow!
