The season four contestants of Disventure Camp were revealed on Twitter. Here's my first impressions of them from a few days ago without reading the casting call.
Alessio: A snobby artist or wannabe musician.
Logan: Frat boy???
Richard: Someone's dad who coaches the neighbourhood soccer team and gets bullied by high schoolers.
Ivy: There's probably gonna be some Sad And Tragic Backstory™ on why she has short hair. Or she's LGBT, Idk.
Tristan: I was gonna say they gave the goth/alternative guy enby his their name literally means "sad". I have no idea if that was on purpose.
Zaid: I don't have any opinion on him but I'm assuming he, Ivy, and Tristan become friends?
Amelie: An office employee who's also kinda bitchy. I think she might be an antagonist.
Hannah: She looks a lot happier than the other contestants. That's all I got.
Isabel: I remember seeing her silhouette in the original announcement image and thinking she was wearing a hijab or something similar. I have a few predictions for her:
- She gets voted off early because she doesn't get along with other contestants or isn't super useful in challenges.
- She sticks around for a bit but starts doing things that go against her faith and it becomes a character arc for her.
- She pulls a Miriam and makes it to the final three by being the least threatening contestant.
I have no idea how Disventure Camp is gonna handle an openly religious contestant, but my expectations aren't very high. I would LOVE to know Fiore's opinion on Isabel.
Anastasia: Just like Amelie, she also looks mildly bitchy and might be an antagonist. Comically pale.
Marissa: Military girlie who gets the Eva and Axel treatment (voted off second for being too intense, despite having a lot of skills that would be useful in later challenges).
Spencer: Probably becomes "friends" with Diego and doesn't care about him at first, but warms up to him over time.
Diego: Some type or safari/wilderness/Steve Irwin guy who's also kinda daft?
Jade: Stuck with Spencer and Diego and doesn't know how to handle it. It's also cool seeing a character with vitiligo.
Benji: Why does he look like my brother.
Ted: Snobby banker with the same body as Ripper.
Natalia: Is either season one Grett 2.0 or is perfectly normal, nice, and well adjusted. No inbetween.
Lynda: 1950s or 1960s housewife who was teleported to a reality show and doesn't know how to handle her current situation.
(Writing below is from current day Yossy)
I'm not gonna bother predicting the elimination order because it's gonna be egregiously wrong. It would be funny as hell if Isabel, Richard, and Ted were the final three though.
It's nice seeing more fat contestants, I REALLY hope they're not all total assholes or absolutely disgusting.

Happy almost Halloween! I'm updating this entry because new art and descriptions of the new cast have been posted. Here's more of my thoughts. Sorry if I sound a little nonsensical and use the same four words over and over again, my brain is fried from sleep deprivation :)
Alessio: The line about him preferring "to stay under the radar" makes me think he makes it to the merge. Potential antagonist.
Amelie: She's probably an antagonist who gets voted out mid- to late-merge. I saw people saying she looks like Kamala Harris but I don't see it??
Anastasia: She feels like a pre-merge elimination and another potential antagonist. I know this sounds mean, but the updated art style makes her lips look weird. The highlight, rounder shape, and bigger size make it look like she has way too much lip filler.
Benji: I think he's an early boot. He'll convince everyone he's smarter than he really is, only to fuck up catastropically. I'll eventually draw Benji and Drew wearing this shirt since they're both French Canadian:
Diego: His chest is fucking massive??? He's definitely making it to the merge, maybe the final three. Possibly into men, even though I have no evidence to supoort this.
Isabel: Watching everybody panic over her possibly being Julia 2.0 was...interesting. I don't think Isabel's gonna be a twist antagonist?? It feels too predictable and really sus??? I have NO idea when I think she'll be eliminated or if she had a chance at winning because I also have no idea on what the show's gonna do with her.
Logan: He's probably making it well into to the merge or final three if nobody fucks him over. One of his lines in the casting call (he's listed under "Devin") makes me think he's into guys?
Also, shoutout to this comment on his post for indirectly teaching me that "water sports" is also slang for sex acts involving urine:
Lynda: Yeahhhh she's gonna be an antagonist. I look forward to seeing her :3c It wouldn't surprise me if Lynda makes it to the final three, but it would be funny if she got eliminated pre-merge because she's a failwife who fucking sucks at reality game shows, despite being a fan of them. How much are you willing to bet that she's married to another woman and it'll be the only lesbian representation in this season?
Marissa: Based on her description and the animators having to give her shirt sleeves because she was taking too long to animate, I don't think she's getting the Eva And Axel Treatment™ anymore. Probably an early-merge boot.
Natalia: I think she could be a pre-merge or mid-merge boot depending on how liked she is? Her post describes her as a "social butterfly" but she has a line in the casting call about she gets told she's "too much all the time".
Richard: Definitely a pre-merge boot. He'll probably become friends with Logan since they're both into sports coaching. He also mentions having a husband in one of his casting call lines!
Spencer: This man looks like he'd call me a slur I've never heard before. I think he'll make it mid- to late- merge, Idk about the final three. He's another character I think is into guys due to one of his lines in the casting call (he's listed under "Lionel"):
He's probably getting a romance arc, either with Diego or Logan. For the love of Christ, PLEASE don't have any love triangles.
Ted: I wasn't expecting him to be a poker player. He's probably an antagonist who gets eliminated either by driving everybody away or somebody managing to outsmart him. I don't think he'll be an early boot though. May or may not have a rivalry with Lynda, depending on how far they both make it.
Tristan: Despite them being a fashion student, the fit does NOT go hard. I can respect the jewelry, painted nails, studded belt, and boots, but what the fuck is up with the hoodie and vest combination? Tristan's design is all over the place, tbh. I'm not entirely sure what's going on with their hair and they look older than eighteen because of the raccoon eyes and cheekbones. LOVE the new tooth gap though. Idk about their elimination ranking, I need to eat before I pass out for twelve hours.
I don't have any noteable opinions or thoughts on Hannah, Ivy, Jade, and Zaid. Seeing people get excited over Hannah being Filipina was really sweet though.
