Not many lookers on the female side. I miss the babe quotient from Suvivor: Australia.

Static Cling

At least five current or native-born Texans... crazy. Does this mean a Lone Star Alliance is coming?

Penny and Tanya are cute... and I bet Stephanie is going to be ripped (she's a firefighter). But yeah, Australia was insane.

Groucho

I'm glad they got another bartender in there.

Is it just me or does "John" look like the T-1000 from Terminator 2? Also, he's a pastor. And you thought all the bible-thumping in Survivor 4 was out of hand!

Decker

I wonder why that one gal goes by "Shii Ann". Is she concerned that they'll be too many "Shiis" on the island? I actually bet it's because every time she overheard someone use the word "she" in a sentence, she thought they were talking about her. It could get real confusing if you think about it.

Jadzia

Survivor's first Asian contestant, correct?

I thought John also loked like Robert Patrick at first glance.

Not only that, at least 8 people are from Southern states. There is not one person from the North or Midwest. That's some diverse group of Americans.

clemente

That's a lot of old people for a reality show.
Low on the hot babe quotient....guess I won't be returning to Survivor.

Well not because of them specifically, I just stopped watching after Australia.

Struz

This cast doesn't look too good.
The only possible good looking babes are Penny and Tanya.


Penny


Tanya

The average female age is 33.75 and male is 37.
There's a 53 year old woman and a 61 year old man.
That's too old for Survivor. They can't compete in the physical challenges. There's even a 46 year old guy (Clay) who looks like he is 60.

The last Survivor had a lot of hard physical challenges.

They should try to get people mostly in the 20's and 30's with a few in there 40's.

Did you notice some of their luxury items:

Robb - skateboard (like you'll use that on a beach)
Penny - Pajamas
Clay - Golf Club & Ball
Ted - Shaving Kit by far the best !
Brian - Guitar (pretty good too)[IMG][IMG]

Jadzia

This is what I don't get:

If his wife is so special then why does he need to join a special group to keep his marriage vows?

But then again, I find the whole idea of the "Promise Keepers" really dumb. It reminds me of a paraphrased Chris Rock routine: It's like they want credit for something they are SUPPOSED to do.

"You're SUPPOSED to keep your promises!"

Wake me for Survivor: Iraq.

Struz

John might be a pretty tough competitor:

John enjoys scuba diving, spear fishing, deer hunting (gun and bow and arrow), playing guitar and writing country songs. He's been to 39 of the United States, Jamaica, Mexico, Canada and mission trips to the jungles of the Mosquito Coast in Honduras and Nicaragua. He is most proud of completing the Los Angeles Marathon after only three months of training. He is also proud of recently transforming his body in only twelve weeks through the Body-For-Life challenge. In his spare time, he coaches his children in little league basketball.

Red Dog

This is exactly what you don't want to have on your resume. They will boot him before the merge just like that one guy (Hunter ?) in the last one.

msbailey

So, which one's the gay one this time?

freedexter

I hope they have judges. That was would hilarious.

Doesn't "Survivor Idol" sounds so much more interesting?

sexy_overlord

If I were gay I don't think I'd go on Survivor. They already fixed it so a gay guy won, so the odds are they'll fix it so a different minority will win it this time.

Decker

Interesting theory...
Survivor 1 : Gay Egomaniac
Survivor 2 : Older Soccer Mom, surgically enhanced
Survivor 3 : Boring Jewish Professional Athlete
Survivor 4 : Religous Black Woman

I wonder who the winning cliche will be this go-around.
Just once couldn't it be young stud or hot girl? Please Mark Burnett, please?

AJW

I have to agree with Struz

Tanya gets my vote

Static Cling

Stephanie looks a lot less lizard-like in this picture:

Patman

Why is there always a bartender on Survivor?

This doesn't look like an appealing cast at the outset.

dolphinboy

Exactly why I didn't try and get on the last 2 Survivors. I'm gay, Jewish, AND surgically enhanced.

I'll have a shot again around Survivor XXX.

dancinns

Exactly, they need to put Amber on Survivor again just so I'll have something to look forward to on Thursdays.

RoyalTea

I think Jed. He admits that two of his favorite drinks are Smirnoff Ice and Skyy Blue.

Goldberg74

Can't be... Favorite Computer Game: Tomb Raider

dstrauss

Someone posted the clips from the Early Show where they unveiled the new cast. Remembering that Mark Burnett said that this show starts off with a twist that is completely different from every other Survivor before it....

Well, I watched the clips twice. And I saw a lot of shots of the survivors in their tribes....and not once did I see a man and a woman in the same shot.

I think the tribes are gonna be divided by gender this time.
