Thoughts on the "new" cast:

Cut

Thorin: I mean, of course I'm disappointed that my OC was cut, but hey, he already won a season. Just hope we see him back with more development in the future (although he'd be an easy mid-pre-merge boot).

Kylie: She didn't do anything, so I agree with Ustigz on it all for this one. Can't wait to use her!

Callista:  I actually... don't remember who she is? So not upset she's gone.

James: First really shocking cut, but we didn't need another villain in the season.

Colin: Oh boy, this one really stung. I really needed Colin in my season, so him being cut really frustrates me, I don't know what to do now.

Emily: The most obvious cut, I knew this would happen.

Remaining

Coral, Evan, and Liam: Since they none of them were cut, it's obvious that they'll be a major alliance, rivaling the undeniable Returnees alliance that'll be developed.

Toronto and Melody: Thorin's absence will allow Toronto to fully develop with Melody (not to mention that both of them and Richard are the only Nobodies that weren't cut.)

Jim, Sasha, and Lorelei: This trio will be on the same team without a doubt, leading to Lorelei's inevitable pre-merge demise.

Richard: Since no casting swaps were made, Richard was obviously kept so the entire there was more of a balance than having the final 4 and Abbey returning. Can't imagine much happening with him, but hey, if this is gonna be fully planned out then they must have something for him to do the entire season.

Abbey: Same deal with Abbey, except she was so unimportant in the original season, hopefully she'll have some major plot (I'll put money on it that she'll merge until being blindsided by whoever the main villain is).

Colt: He's Tristan, except new to the show! (I hope he goes pre-merge).

Jeffrey: He's generic antagonist #12, losing his only real plotline with the cuts (I feel like I'm remembering him wrong but whatever).

Kassidy: I'm having a hard time remembering what she did, other than her horribly bland way of eliminating Sarah.

Logan and Nathan: The bros are sticking around, hopefully their relationship feels natural and not like Logan's blackmailing Nathan after his actions last season.

Brianna: Boring as hell.

Jessica and... Veronica?: I think you mean Sarah, and one of them will probably be first returnee boot, mark my words (Hopefully Jessica).

The New Guys

Mina and Brandon brand-new to the WC scene, and this honestly makes me a little bit mad. There should not be new contestants, it just doesn't work out in any way in my mind. Wishing that Brandon and Mina were replaced by Callista and Colin.

Overall

Pretty underwhelmed on the reboot, especially with the "new" newbies, but hopefully we'll have even better writing, even there wasn't a need to reboot it, just ruins the work on the pages, (ugh, don't want to sound like it's all about me, but yeah, I don't want to have to undo literally all my work) considering that there wasn't even a problem with the episodes in the first place.
