Survivor: Redemption Island Casting Rumor
If this is true, I will be done with the show for good


Spoiler:
"Survivor: Redemption Island" has just fueled the fire that Boston Rob Mariano and Russell Hantz are joining the cast this season. CBS has said that there are 18 cast members, but there are only 16 revealed so far on their site.

Furthermore, the show is always gender-equal and nine of the 16 are women, meaning if they add two surprise guests who are both male, there will be nine of each gender.

Are you excited at the prospect of Rob and Russell facing off (or perhaps joining forces) on "Survivor"? We aren't sure how we feel about it. Their rivalry during "Heroes vs. Villains" wasn't that fun to watch, to be honest. But it sure would be fun to see them work together.

The cast members so far are as follows:

Andrea Boehlke, student, Random Lake, WI

Mike Chiesl, former Marine, Del Mar, CA

Matt Elrod, pre-med student, Nashville, TN

Francesca Hogi, attorney, Washington DC

Kristina Kell, law student, Malibu, CA

Krista Klumpp, pharmaceutical rep, Columbia, SC

Ralph Kiser, farmer, Lebanon, VA

Grant Mattos, yoga instructor, West Hollywood, CA

David Murphy, defense attorney, West Hollywood, CA

Phillip Sheppard, technology executive, Santa Monica, CA

Natalie Tenerelli, professional dancer, Acton, CA

Ashley Underwood, nurse, Benton, ME

Stephanie Valencia, waitress, Long Beach, CA

Sarita White, visual effects producer, Santa Monica, CA

Julie Wolfe, firefighter, Oceanside, CA

Steve Wright, former NFL player, Huntington Beach, CA


"Survivor: Redemption Island" premieres Wednesday, Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

Re: Survivor: Redemption Island Casting Rumor
Ok. Both those adds are great TV. This will be the first season where Russel actually got to watch himself on TV since he played both seasons before going to one finale (I think... might be wrong here). Lets see if the master planner can learn from mistakes.

It won't stop me from watching but it will kill my excitement a bit.

I don't mind this gimmick, but I've also heard that:
Spoiler:
Boston Rob and Russell will be tribal Captains and will have immunity until the merge. I don't like this because it could screw up the DVDTalk Survivor game.

Hate the guy, think he's one of the worst players in Survivor history, but it's always fun to see a grown man cry on TV.

If it's true, he'll be on three of the last four seasons. That's re-goddamn-diculous.

I think people become pharmaceutical reps just so they can get on reality shows.

Re: Survivor: Redemption Island Casting Rumor
I'm kinda torn. Part of me would like to see all new faces. However, that didn't work out all that well last season when they had so many clueless folks as part of the cast.

Ok that would be incredibly lame.

Agreed. I'd only be happy if they then were not eligible for the prize money if they won.

On the other hand, with an edge like that, in addition to their celebrity, the odds are INCREDIBLY against them for winning. As much as I enjoy both of them, I think they need to give it a rest with previous survivors returning.

That is a valid point. The new players may take the position that the returnees have had their chance(s) and vote them out the first chance they get.

I would like a return for Boston Rob, I find him endlessly entertaining but Russell has overstayed his welcome. I enjoyed the two seasons he was on but I've had enough.

Re: Survivor: Redemption Island Casting Rumor
I just love watching Boston Rob. Even more, I like figuring out how many times he hasn't won $1 Million : Survivor Marquesas, Survivor All-Stars, Fan favorite voting from Survivor All Stars, his & Amber's season on The Amazing Race Season 7, their return on Amazing Race All-Stars, Survivor Heroes & Villains. That's 0 for 7. Keep 'em coming!

Re: Survivor: Redemption Island Casting Rumor
Why would a top 20 network show decide to switch its format to a real world challenge show. This could be the beginning of the end.

Re: Survivor: Redemption Island Casting Rumor
As far as I'm concerned, they won their first try on AR. Nothing will ever convince me that the producers didn't get their plane heading to the final destination (and what would have been a runaway victory) to come back to the gate to pick up the other team.

But more Boston Rob is always good.
