Following the success of the first season of Cutthroat, twenty more ex-castaways were picked to play another round of the game(The originally twenty were automatically not considered so the game can have twenty new players).  This game is also the first chance the castaways from the Amazon got to play.  The rules of the game are the same, but with twenty new people, the game itself will be completely different.
	This time around the tribes are Lataa(La - 'Ta) and Ulaen(oo - 'lay - in).  Given the tropical sounding names of the tribes, the players were sent to a remote part of Hawaii.  To choose the new players, first I picked 20 men and 20 women, all people that I wanted to see in the game.  However, knowing that only 10 of each could play, I had the difficult job of narrowing it down.  There were some interesting player dynamics I would like to have seen, such as Elisabeth, Neleh, Pachal, and Rodger forming one large voting bloc against the other players.  All four were chosen in the final 40, but only one of them made it to the final 20.  I planned out alliances I expected them to have to help me pick who I wanted to see out there.  But I know most of those alliances may not happen, because although I have named the tribes, I have yet to split them into the tribes.  I do not know who is going to be on the same tribe as who yet.
	The ten women are:
Deena Bennett
Elisabeth Filarski
Gretchen Cordy
Heidi Strobel
Jeanne Hebert
JoAnna Ward
Kelly Goldsmith
Kelly Wiglesworth
Shii Ann Huang
Vecepia Towery
	The ten men are:
Greg Buis
Joel Klug
Kel Gleason
Rob Cesternino
Rob Mariano
Robert DeCanio
Roger Sexton
Ryan Aiken
Sean Kenniff
Sean Rector

	Last season, there were many players that got farther than expected, as well as some that left the game early.  This time around is expected to be as unpredictable as the last one was(I was expecting Kathy to win since the merge).

My early predictions are this:
Joel, Rob M, Sean R, Roger, Gretchen, JoAnna, Shii Ann, and Vecepia will not make the merge.  The final two will be Kel and Jeanne.  The winner cannot be predicted, as that will depend upon the final challenge, and not the relationships the players form with each other.
