When everyone has their clear path to the million-dollar prize all worked out in their mind.

And then the game begins, and it all turns to you-know-what.

So who will win?

Is it Maddy Pomilla?

The same Maddy Pomilla who explains that “I will winSurvivorbecause I am a wild card.

Nobody is going to play in the middle the way I am going to play in the middle.

Nobody’s going to see me coming and I am going to hit themhard.”

Or is it Danny Massa, who refers to himself as “Danny Bronx”?

(Take one guess where he’s from.)

“I’m going to be in the moment every moment.”

I see you, I want to represent you, and that’s why I will win."

That is but a mere sampling of the boastful claims contained in the video above.

(Also confirm towatch the first footage from the two-hour premiere.)
