Amber and Rob on...Rob's going for the "kid from Boston"- has his priorities down, knows it's a game. Amber likes Julie and Chris because they seem like they're there for the game, not the experience. Neither likes Lee Masters...they show a clip of him barking orders/drill. Rob and Amber say thet won't work out there and he'll go fast. Amber says the wedding on TV is a good possibility. So, 10 men and 8 women. Weird.

Picks From Rob And Amber NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2004 (CBS) What can we expect from the cast of "Survivor: Vanuatu – Islands of Fire"? Amber Brkich and Rob Mariano, the two top finishers of last season's "Survivor: All-Stars," gave their assessments on The Early Show. "What a crew," said Rob. "I think (executive producer) Mark Burnett has put together a great cast of good-looking people. My top pick: I'm going for the kid from Boston." All right. Rob might be partial to "the kid from Boston" (Brook Geraghty) because Rob is a kid from Boston himself. But are there other reasons? "I like the fact he seemed to have his priorities down," Rob explains. "He seems to know it's a game, as they all said. But he seems to do what it's gonna take to win." As for Amber, she said, "I'm going to go with two choices. The girl, Julie (Berry). I like Julie. And for a guy, I like Chris (Daugherty), the guy from Ohio. They seem like they're not there for the experience. They seem like they're there for the game. They're not worried about how they're going to come off on TV. They have the right things in mind… Their goal is the million dollars. And they seem like they'll be pretty good all around in getting along with people and at the challenges." According to Amber, that's the key to winning: To come into the game not to become a TV star but to play. She explained, "The first time in Australia, it was there. I'm in Australia, happy just to be there. The second time, I could care less where I was. I was there to win the money. My eye never came off the money." Neither Rob nor Amber are crazy about Lea Masters, the drill sergeant from South Carolina, mainly because they feel he will not be able to let go of the whole "drill sergeant" persona. "If you're going to be brutally honest, you have to do it only to the cameras," explained Rob. "You can't be out doing it in the open, because sooner or later, they'll catch on." Added Amber, "You can't be too bossy out there. The bossy ones seem to get voted out quickly." Rob and Amber are still thinking about a date for their wedding, and there's "a big possibility" that it will be televised. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/08/17/earlyshow/series/survivor/main636493.shtml

It could be men vs. women again, but it also could be 3 teams of 3 men and 3 women, like we just had in the All-star edition. I think Mark B. liked all the available twists he was able to use starting with 3 teams, so I would bet this is the more likely scenario. I do not want to see another repeat of the Amazon, especially thinking back to the women's shelter and all the macho men trying to out do each other. It's more interesting watching the integrated teams.

Well, it didn't take long to find information that seems to point at 2 teams of 9, with an uneven number of men and women on each team. I guess we should wait until there is a spoiler thread before posting too many more details.

The link to the cast on the cbs website shows everyone in alphabetical order; I don't think it is the two teams! In fact, per the cbs release on the Early Show (link above) the teams are "yellow for Yasur (the women) and red for Lopevi (the men)"

From Zapit..looks like it is men vs women: Survivor' Restages Battle of the Sexes (Tuesday, August 17 08:28 AM) LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) It's girls vs. boys, again, on "Survivor." CBS on Tuesday (Aug. 17) revealed the identities of those vying for $1 million on "Survivor: Vanuatu." Producer Mark Burnett set up the two tribes according to gender, as was the case on the highly entertaining "Survivor: The Amazon" in 2003. Eighteen players, ranging in age from 21 to 59, will take part in the game, up from the usual complement of 16. They include an FBI agent, a sheep farmer named Dolly, a drill sergeant, a model who operates the mechanical bull at L.A.'s Saddle Ranch bar and an amputee, teacher Chad Crittenden from Oakland, Calif. Crittenden had his right leg amputated below the knee after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. He's now cancer-free, however, and has completed a triathlon post-surgery. CBS is making note of Vanuatu's location near the "Ring of Fire," a region of heavy volcanic activity in the South Pacific, and also that black magic is said to be practiced by some tribes who inhabit the small island nation. So we can probably expect those themes to work their way into the game somehow. "Survivor: Vanuatu" is scheduled to premiere Thursday, Sept. 16. Here are the 18 contestants: YASUR TRIBE Name: Julie Berry Age: 23 Occupation: Youth mentor Hometown: Gorham, Maine Name: Ami Cusack Age: 31 Occupation: Barista/model Hometown: Lakewood, Colo. Name: Mia Galeotalanza Age: 30 Occupation: Finance manager Hometown: Tom's River, N.J.

Name: Eliza Orlins Age: 21 Occupation: Student Hometown: Syracuse, N.Y. Name: Twila Tanner Age: 41 Occupation: Highway repair Hometown: Marshall, Mo. LOPEVI TRIBE Name: Chad Crittenden Age: 35 Occupation: Teacher Hometown: Oakland, Calif.

Thanks, Jan and Tweety. Maybe next time I'll read the links instead of just clicking over to look at the bio's. I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part that they would do something different than battle of the sexes. After Twila, I don't really see who would be suited to the physical grunt work required in building a shelter that will actually survive a storm and house 9 people. Maybe Home Depot will be back again, like in All-stars, and this time provide them with a chain saw or a real axe.

Yeh !!!!! A Lesbian contestant on a reality show !! And while Scout's life partner happens to be nicknamed Annie, as am I.... and while her true name is Carol Ann, As is mine ! I am not Scout's Annie. But I adore the connection and can not wait to see this interesting woman in action ! and no.... I am sure Scout Cloud Lee has more integrity than to provide a tv audience "fun" TV by engaging in infidelity with any other player. Being a life partner is no different than the vows of straight marriage. I am as committed to Jan as any straight couple. Go Scout !

If you read Ami's profile, it says that she's dating Chrissy. I think it can be generally assumed that it is probably another woman. That's my guess anyway.
