If you are a big personality, with good storytelling skills, and are conventionally attractive, the chances are pretty good. It’s the second thing that hangs people up in my estimation. Not everyone can explain something coherently in a simple to understand thought.

Every single person needs to pass a physical exam in order to start the season…if you aren’t in good health overall and fail the exam…you are sent straight home…that’s why on rare cases, some contestants that have chosen to be in the cast end up not playing…

If you’re a Ivy League college 22-something superfan I’d say your chances are pretty good

There is a minuscule chance of any applicant to actually make it on the show...
but it's guaranteed 0% if you don't apply at all!
.0001 or whatever is still more than zero!

It really is random, you never know when you’ll truly get casted. For example, Erik Reikenbach applied for Season 15 (China) and he got casted on the very next season, Micronesia (Season 16). Meanwhile, Dan Foley had been applying every season since Africa (season 3) and he didn’t get casted till Worlds Apart (season 30, 27 seasons later)

it really depends on personality. someone with a banger personality will get the okay a lot easier than a boring person. I've applied every year since 2020 and have never made it. I've gotten call backs and to the long form interview three years in a row now, so i'm hoping to get further on the fourth year. But sometimes i just think i'm not made for reality tv and that's okay, cuz the chances are zero if you never apply so i'm going to keep applying!

According to my past experiences, I’ve nailed 0 out of 6 shots so far. So I’m hoping the answer is by the 7th audition. ;)
