I would give it a B tier. This is one of the best casts they've had in recent years. Usually I only like a couple people and they're gone in the first few weeks but this season Brent was the only one I didn't like at all. I think the cast is a lot less stereotypical than usual (ie mostly jocks, models and influencers with a token gay, token black, token nerd and token middle aged). They got lesbians, gays, and pansexuals. They got more than 1 or 2 blacks plus an Asian (and a half if you want to count Hannah's Indian side) as well as Alyssa holding it down for the boricuas. Big D, plus sized. Frenchie & Tiffany on the older side... they're no Jerry or Cliff but they're still significantly older than a majority of the other HG's. Just like Ian, I love that Britini was open about her disability and not letting it hold her back. As for the Cookout, I'm torn. I would love to finally see a black winner but half of the cookout don't deserve to win. Azah & Big D have done literally nothing and her social game is non existent. Tiffany & Hannah social games, A1... Kyland and X's physical games, A1... but I'm not a fan of how Kyland treated Brit or his non sensical rambling. Claire and SB, I have no opinion of them one way or another. At this point in the season I would be happy with DX, Hannah or Tiffany winning. I wouldn't be upset with any of these players winning but those are the 3 that I feel are playing the best all around, especially DX who is good at comps and social. This is the first season ever where I legitimately wouldn't be mad at anybody who won.
