[Nico Pan]

G'DAY MATES! your new crush Nico is here with some opening night confessional questions.

1- Stranded will have been running for 14 years as of this coming Saturday! Along the way we've seen some truly unhinged characters, master strategists, and plenty of worthy contenders. Heading into this season, everyone was informed of the alias allstars twist, and had time to prepare accordingly. Is there anyone in particular that you would expect to be here? Do you think people can alias well enough to hide that identity for the entire game?

2-Tell us about your tribe! Who are you clicking with so far? Do you think you'll be able to work within this specific group of personalities?

3- What has changed since the last time you played Stranded? Update us! Help the viewers get to know you!

4- How are you aliasing this season? Any specific information you're withholding from the other players to avoid being detected? Remember that there is one new player with knowledge of which stranded and isolated characters have returned for the season. How do you think this twist will factor into the game?

As always, feel free to use this confessional to update us with anything you feel is important! It's just you, the hosts, and some famous Australians allowed in here, so you can be as honest as you'd like. we can see all of your DMs anyways so it's not like you have anything to hide

1- Is there anyone in particular that you would expect to be here? Do you think people can alias well enough to hide that identity for the entire game?

I haven't been around super long, so I don't really know who to expect and who not to expect. I think Tommy will be here. Patrick maybe. That's probably why he left the server. I think a vast majority will be people I do not know, or have only lurked a little, so I'm not really setting any expectations yet. I think some people will be very good at sussing out identities.

2- Tell us about your tribe! Who are you clicking with so far? Do you think you'll be able to work within this specific group of personalities?

I've enjoyed just about everyone. No one is overplaying. I'm looking to move forward with Daisy, Michelle, and possibly Baden. Harry could be more active, but it's been a slow weekend so I won't know much until our asses are in the jackpot. I think Daisy and Michelle are tight. They did the challenge within about 10 minutes of each other.

3- What has changed since the last time you played Stranded? Update us! Help the viewers get to know you!

It hasn't been that long, but I won't be teaching this year. I have a poker writing job now.

4- How are you aliasing this season? Any specific information you're withholding from the other players to avoid being detected? Remember that there is one new player with knowledge of which stranded and isolated characters have returned for the season. How do you think this twist will factor into the game?

I am being mostly vague. Most others are too. I'm not prying for information, and I've got my eye out for red herrings. I think the twist will factor more later...when there are less people, and more identities have been revealed. I don't think it's worth a ton ton ton of attention in the early game, but that doesn't mean I'm ignoring it or blowing it off.
