They are showing the contestants, and the contestants are talking a bit about themselves. One girl sells cosmetics "do you really need $200 eye cream" One said he was from Columbia, because he'd get more respect.. and Gary Hogenboom I dont want to go by my last name, because everybody thinks NFL big money. (he looks like Tom!) Some of the girls look really thin! Sept 15

Really - how can CBS be so stupid? These shows are pretending to get 'cross sections' of America, but in all honesty they have thier heads stuck up Hollywood!! Either that or I'm ignorant, I didnt realize that America = white 20something models!

well only 8 of the 16 are in their 20's. I am really surprised at how old so many of them are!! but I have to agree about the white part

Well, the ages are a bit more split than they have been recently... 8 in their 20s 4 in their 30s 3 in their 40s 1 in his 60s (and a retired fire captain because what's a reality show without a fireman these days? Think they'll call him Cappy??)

I pretty much skipped last season. I just forgot to watch for awhile then stopped. I think i'm getting to be "over" Survivor. It's getting to repetitive. Every season seems the same, the people all seem the same. Maybe they should go back to once a year. It might be overkill at this point.

I really don't care about color, I care about the personalities. So I won't make a judgement til we "meet" them...

All very thin. Always very thin....why do they never (except for maybe Rupert) have any overweight contestants?

I think last seasons was great in that the "older" people kicked the youngsters butts! And if you look at the ages in the the teams it looks like blue team is almost all the 20 yr olds. I'm curious if they are going to do as well as Stephanie's team did or try using their heads. I'll hang out to see that any ways.

I would imagine not having any 'heft' to them is protection against someone dropping dead during a strenuous challenge.

It's scary when the skinny people begin starving and become positively skeletal.

Sue Hawk (season 1) was the perfect size -- strong and helpful on challenges, ate fairly well w/ Rich's fishing abilities (although on the DVD extras she lost 15 pounds or so, too), and never looked "skeletal." Kelly still looked pretty healthy at the end, too.

I used to think the producers could never find a cast that was as good looking and buff as most of the Survivor casts have been in every day life; then last week I took a look around my gym and tried to imagine some of them on Survivor. I was surprised how many were goodlooking and buff enough to pass muster on any group that have been on there yet. That includes men and women, young and not so young. I think the producers could realistically go to any gym in the country and find a cast. Now personalities are something different, since I do not know all of these people, but compared to some of the duds they have had in the past I would not be surprised that they could match that too.

Heard on the local news station that the first activity is an 11 mile trek throught the jungle to camp. That should weed the Hollywood wannabes out from the fit folks pretty quick.

Didn't he drink a beer with Kelly in Survivor #1 .. she'd won a competition and they blind-folded her and took her to what was supposedly a native bar. (Turned out to be the crew's pub). I thought they both had a beer.
