Kass McQuillen is one of the most polarizing people to ever play Survivor, which will make her return in the upcoming season very exciting.

Kass is one of 20 players voted by America to return for a second chance at winning the $1 million in Survivor: Cambodia - Second Chance. Despite being hated by a large portion of the audience, Kass's popularity since Cagayan ended has steadily risen and she is now one of the more beloved members of the fan community.

The arc of "Chaos" Kass in Cagayan was a truly epic one, having started on the dysfunctional brains tribe but ultimately making it through the pre-merge with Spencer Bledsoe and Tasha Fox. When the tribes merged, Kass would truly let chaos reign.

Kass was in a pretty tight alliance with Spencer, Tasha, Jeremiah Wood, Morgan McLeod and Sarah Lacina and they were primed to systemically vote out all of Tony Vlachos' alliance. But that didn't happen.

Instead, Kass was feeling very paranoid about her status in her alliance, particularly stemming from her troubles with Sarah. At Tribal Council, Kass decided to flip her vote and send Sarah to the jury, resulting in very mixed reactions from the viewing audience. Many thought it was one of the stupid moves ever while others praised her for simply creating chaos in general.

Ultimately, Spencer and Tasha would find themselves in the minority while Kass was sitting pretty in a new majority alliance. When it got down to the Final 5, after Tasha was voted out, Trish viciously argued with Kass about her antics around camp. Trish was voted out and Kass flipped the bird to her as she left.

Kass won a come from behind Immunity Challenge at Final 4 and voted out season-long nemesis Spencer. Then at Final 3, Kass was surprisingly voted out by Woo Hwang, who chose his loyalty to Tony over his potential to win the game. Kass was considered one of the biggest "goats" in Survivor history to bring to the end and win.

Since Cagayan, Kass has been a snarky presence in the community. Her love of chaos and overall fearlessness has won her several fans. But those chaotic tendencies will likely work against her in Cambodia.

Kass is going to have a major target on her back going into Cambodia, as very few people who have seen Cagayan will want to work with her, due to her erratic behavior. However, she fully admits that her social game was not good in Cagayan and if she lays low and doesn't make waves she could go farther than people expect. It would also help if she were on a dominant tribe.

Cambodia Prediction: It's easy to see Kass being an early pre-merge target. While many are predicting she will be the first boot, we think she's such an obvious target that more savvy players will want to make a move on someone else first. However, her antics could grate on people. If she gets past the first four or five votes, it will be a miracle.

We predict: 18th place.
