Survivor: Cagayan, the 28th season of the reality-competition series, will feature tribes of brawn, brains and beauty competing against each other. Before the season began filming, Probst highlighted some of the strengths and weaknesses from each tribe.

As far as likable people, Probst listed Sarah Lacina, Yung "Woo" Hwang, Latasha Fox and Brice Johnston in terms of potential audience favorites. While he did not say that any of them could win the game, they could be some of the more popular players of the season.

Probst did not necessarily pick a favorite to win the game, but the host did suggest a few that could get far. He singled out Jefra Bland as having the best chance to win from all of the young girls and also said that LJ McKanas can combine his looks, physical strength and intellect.

Probst did not have all positive comments for the contestants. He bluntly predicted that Spencer Bledsoe has "zero chance of winning this game" and said about the same thing for Tony Vlachos.

A few contestants who are used to getting their way in the real world may not thrive as much in Survivor, according to Probst. Such contestants include Morgan McLeod, who he describes as "the biggest fish out of water out here" and Garrett Adelstein, who may be "the brightest guy out here" but ultimately might have too much bravado.

Survivor: Cagayan premieres Wednesday, Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. on CBS.
