Early Speculation Megathread for S42 🌫️

Hi all!

PinkRose has posted the "super early pointless speculation thread" over on Vevmo, & some users here here have asked me to post one on reddit. So here it is!

We won't have like any solid info until much closer to departure day - which is in February at this point. But please, discuss, post your predictions, tell us who you want to see, and comment with any official intel we get from PinkRose or GamerVEV.

Have fun 🤠
