Personally, I could watch Boston Rob every season, but he and Sandra are not actually playing the game. They're in "advisory" roles this season and will play in the All-Winners version for season 40....

Then you must think like Probst because this is the first season since the casting director got fired last September (she was there from the beginning). Probst now has a lot more casting authority. The result...two straight seasons of Rob Mariano.

"Island of the Idols"? As opposed to every other season where contestants are almost literally tripping over idols.

Re: Survivor Season 39 Full Cast Revealed
Will this serve as our "season" thread? It makes sense to me (since we already have the cast and pictures and general show info in the first post).
The giant Rob and Sandra head statues cracked me up! One episode in, so it's hard to get a bearing on things. Don't mind seeing Ronnie go since (as pointed out by players) it usually seems to be a woman and/or older person who goes first. Due to the overwhelming votes cast against him, I bet Ronnie was overplaying the game and trying to make deals with everyone right away (and it just took a little note-checking for the other players to figure out that he was a sneak and liar).

Has the All Winners season been comfirmed yet? I have't watched Survivor in years but I might watch that show.

Re: Survivor Season 39 Full Cast Revealed
I don't know that they'll confirm anything officially until the next finale night reunion. However, they film them back-to-back, so it can probably be confirmed in other ways.

Re: Survivor Season 39 Full Cast Revealed
Is it just me or was this the most boring cast ever. Probably because of the lack of any 'Alpha' types unless you count the Indian dude who got the boot.
It's almost like they decided on NOT having attractive people. Everyone just looks like regular people. Maybe some people prefer that but I watch these shows for the eye candy.
The whole Sandra/Rob Idols thing pretty much blew its wad the first episode. No reason to return to that every week and I can't see how that is going to help anyone win.
If you are stupid enough to go on this show without learning how to use a flint to make fire than you don't deserve to win.
Probst needs to rethink the casting director he picked cause this looks like a bunch of duds.

I try not to be shallow but the show does revolve around a bunch of scantily clad folks on a tropical island. So yes, I would prefer that the majority of those people be attractive to look at. This cast is capital "H" homely.

So the "right" play on "Island of the Idols" was to reject Rob's offer and see what the counter-offer was? I wonder what that would've been (maybe the weekly Probst Q&A with Dalton Ross at EW.com will address that).
I'm having trouble seeing exactly what Rob and Sandra contribute as well that's actually useful too. At this point there have been 38 previous seasons of Survivor (maybe 37 depending on when this was filmed) for players to learn about how the game works. What can they really say that players haven't heard before? I suspect this is just a gimmick to introduce more idols/advantages to the game, and let Rob and Sandra say snarky things.

When the woman came up on the statues and says, “It’s Boston Rob and Sandra!” I actually lol’d. There is zero chance any human first seeing those heads had any idea who they were supposed to be, including Boston Rob and Sandra.

Re: Survivor Season 39 Full Cast Revealed
Didn't Probst take over casting? Wonder if he didn't want any hotties there tempting him. Or they probably got a lot of complaints about too many model types and overcompensated in the other direction.

If anyone jumped on the deal for the $3.99 season pass through Amazon, it looks like they are not fulfilling it, or even at the regular price. They now have the season walled off behind a CBS All Access subscription. Customer Service has no idea what is going on.

I wonder if Rob and Sandra will enter the game as players at some point (the merge?).
They did it on Big Brother 14, where they had returning players act as coaches.
