Will Woo Hwang easily make it far into the game again in Survivor: Cambodia?

'Survivor: Cambodia' Tribe Color, Name & Divisions Leaked

Woo was one of 20 players selected by America to play Survivor for a second time. He is one of four Cagayan players set to return this season, including Kass McQuillen, Spencer Bledsoe and Tasha Fox. Woo was the runner-up of the season and made it further than any of his fellow Cagayan returnees, but will he have the same fate again?

Let's take a look back at Woo's game during Cagayan.

'Survivor' Host Jeff Probst Reveals How 'Cambodia' Is Different From Other Returning Player Seasons

In Cagayan, Woo was part of the Brawn tribe, a.k.a. Aparri. He bonded early on with Cliff Robertson and together with Tony Vlachos, Trish Hegarty, Lindsey Ogle and Sarah Lacina, they dominated much of the pre-merge. The tribe won the first four Immunity Challenges and never went to Tribal Council until the tribe swap.

At that point, Woo, Tony, Trish, Cliff and Lindsey were switched to Solana with Beauty tribe members Jefra Bland and LJ McKanas. Tony and Trish flipped and worked with Jefra and LJ at Tribal Council and voted out Cliff, leaving Woo blindsided. Lindsey got into an argument with Trish after Tribal Council and wound up leaving the game, which left Woo alone with no allies.

However, Woo survived until the merge and cemented a bond with Tony, Trish, LJ and Jefra. But his strongest bond was to Tony, and he functioned as Tony's closest ally through the post-merge. Wherever Tony went, Woo followed.

Woo was mostly seen as a "surfer dude" through much of the season, and for that reason he was rarely considered a threat until the Final 4. At this point, Spencer tried to convince Tony to turn on Woo, who Spencer said would bring Kass with him to the end instead of Tony. But Tony stuck by Woo as they voted out Spencer.

Then Woo won the Final Immunity Challenge and was forced to choose between Tony or Kass to take with him to Final Tribal Council. While it seemed like a no-brainer to take the more unlikable Kass with him to the end and win the $1 million, he chose to honor his bond with Tony and decided to vote out Kass instead. Many Survivor commenters have said that this was a million dollar mistake on Woo's part.

In the end, the jury rewarded Tony with $1 million, with Woo only receiving one vote to win.

Now, heading into Cambodia, Woo has the reputation of not being a strong strategist. He is the type of player who is more concerned with doing "the right thing" over lying and backstabbing, so it's difficult to imagine him becoming a big threat, at least strategically.

Woo has a naturally positive attitude that will likely win him some allies right off the bat. His loyalty to his allies will probably make him a desirable partner for a more strategically sound player.

This lack of desire to break his moral code may end up being his undoing in the long run, however.

Cambodia Prediction: Woo will probably forge a bond with one or two people, to which he will be undyingly loyal. He doesn't seem like a huge threat that a power player would want to get out, so it's easy to imagine that he will slip through to the merge. At that point it's all about numbers, and it's possible that his strength in challenges will make him a threat during the jury stage. He is easily one of the more physically fit members of the cast, and he could very well end up on the wrong side of the numbers. We think he'll make it to the jury stage but not quite make it to the endgame this time.

We predict: 8th place.
