Several of those I don't remember at all - although maybe I will when I see their faces. Candice? Danielle? Ben? Courtney?

It will be interesting to see Russell's play, and see if he plays a different game having been through the tribal council. Also Coach, as he was pretty much made fun of after Tocantins.

I was surprised to hear JT and Sugar say that they're dating and the others may not be aware of it.

Jeff also has his analysis of the cast:

I'm not sure I buy it, but he explains some of the weirder tribe assignments:

- Candice is a hero because she made the bold move of voluntarily switching tribes (along with Jonathan Penner)
- Danielle is a villain because she got Terry to help her prepare for a fire-building tiebreaker and then voted him out later
- Sandra is a villain for throwing out the fish and letting her alliance member Christa take the fall for it

I thought Sugar got married after her season. She's divorced already?

I watched Probst's video and I don't remember Danielle at all! The others I do remember.

i like that the motto this season isn't "outwit, outplay, outlast" but is instead "return, revenge, redemption"

Sandra - I almost posted that I was surprised they were bringing Jerri back after she sued CBS, then thought that couldn't be right, as the one who sued was from Season 1. Then I looked up her picture and yep, I recognise her! I also remember Courtney now I see her face, but still not Candice and Danielle.

A JT and Sugar secret alliance might be fun.

Didn't Danielle beat Stephanie in the season when Steph came back for her second chance?

No, that was Danni Boatwright in Guatemala. This Danielle is the one who took Aras (who ended up winning) instead of Terry to F2 of Panama (Exile Island).

More cast interview clips here:
http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/01/06/survivor-heroes-vs-villains-cast/

These are by Dalton Ross and seemed to have been conducted soon after the game started, although it seems they haven't been split up into tribes yet. Well, except for Russell -- his interview is with Jenna Morasca and just seems to be a different edit of the CBS.com interview.

- Looks like JT and Sugar's relationship isn't so secret -- Parvati knows about them.

YAY! A thread for H v V that isn't a spoiler thread!

Great to see the new cast!! I am very happy with all the Heroes except I don't remember Candice. (Although, maybe she is one of the blond girls that the guys talked about being super pretty. I'll have to look her up.) (ETA I looked at her bio and watched the video that came on. I still don't remember her. She is blond but not the girl I was thinking of. Candice was on the season that Yul won. That still doesn't help me, but may help someone else. She even said in her video that most people probably won't even know who she is.)

I am extremely disappointed to see that Coach is going to be there. Why he'd be a villain, I have no clue. I hope they get him out of there early. He added no enjoyment at all for me during his season and actually really detracted from my enjoyment. He is practically unwatchable. I really hope they edit him out a lot and that the castaways kick him off right away.

I'm happy with most of the villains, even Sandra, I like her a lot, but am surprised to see her on the villain list. I don't remember who Danielle is. I'm very happy about Russell, Rob, Tyson. Randy is fine, he amused me. Jerri is annoying but not nearly as much as Coach. Parvati is a villain? (LOL that her last name is Shallow. She always seemed pretty shallow to me.)(She is not my favorite and a bit annoying to me. Now that I think about it, I can remember villainish type things from her second season.)

(ETA, I looked at Danielle's bio and video. She only looks vaguely familiar...and she was runner up! I looked at a photo and list of her season (Panama), none of them are very memorable at all for me except Cirie. I barely even remember Aras, the winner.)

I think Courtney is the really skinny blond that I'm thinking of, maybe on the same season as Todd. If so, I don't really have any feelings about her. (ETA, her video is a bit funny! She is who I thought she was. I am surprised I don't remember her more since she was the runner up for her season.)

Very interesting that JT and Sugar are dating! (too bad Parvati knows)

"I like that the motto this season isn't "outwit, outplay, outlast" but is instead "return, revenge, redemption" " LOL! I like that too!

I did not recognize Amanda from her picture. I noticed from her bio that they asked the Survivor she admires most (James) and least (Richard Hatch). Now I am interested to read this for each Survivor.

typical Russel:
Previous Survivor He Respects Most: “I don’t respect any of them.”
Previous Survivor He Respects Least: “I don’t respect any of them.”
(He was acting very arrogant in his video. typical. I am still really looking forward to watching him on the show but will probably avoid clips of him not on the show.)

Amusing clip of Rob: "You're probably gonna get the same old me." lol! Actually, he followed that up by saying that through marriage he has learned compromise and now that he has a kid he's learned patience. He plans on being more diplomatic. I like these answers:
Personal Claim To Fame: “My marriage and birth of my child.”
Previous Survivor He Respects Most: Amber Brkich (Australia, All-Stars)

in case anyone is curious about this:
Previous Survivor He Respects Least: “Nobody.”

I think maybe they better really watch out for him. He really wants to win. He also has a degree in psychology, if I remember correctly.

Happymom, I don't remember Panama either! Aras?! WHO! Looking at the cast list barely jogs my memory. Strange isn't it.

I didn't remember Courtney either, until she started talking. She's funny. Refreshing to see one survivor say she's probably not going to win. She may coast under the radar for a long time.

I adore Boston Rob but am dismayed to see how many people are out to get him. He may not last long and that would break my little heart.

I think Coach was a villain to the viewers, an assault on our senses. LOL. He's so full of it, I can't wait to see some of our stars put him in his place. I sure hope!

Drat, I had a long post that I accidentally clicked away.

It was about different players re the videos cbs is showing with their bios.

Here is some of what I remember:

Cirie and James, both just delightful!

Cirie and Sandra (looks very pretty and younger than I remember) both have the same strategies. Cirie comes off as especially smart.

Tom and Rupert are the same age, 45. Rupert weighed 190 his 1st season and 260ish his 2nd. He is now about 220.

Rupert and Sandra both talked about wanting to be with each other.

From Sandra's video, the cast members do not know which tribe they are on.

Tyson was boring, I expected more from him. He thinks it would be good to align with Cirie because no one would suspect them being aligned.

I would like to know if coach said anything about Tyson making fun of him but I won't watch his video.

Sugar and Parvati sound the same and look very similar. (Sugar looks like a younger, prettier blond Parvati to me.)

Sugar has alliances with about 4 guys and a secret alliance with jerri and a secret alliance with courtney.

Parvati is looking fwd. to this to get away from her real life.

JT fears Cirie the most.

Randy's bio and video make Russell seem almost charming.

Rupert weighed 260 his second season? Weren't his two seasons back to back? I kind of wonder if it is the other way around...?

Blech on Sugar and JT...one would hope he would have better taste!

Boston Rob is a horrible choice for this show. He's a 3 time loser of reality TV. He didn't win his first season, he didn't win all-stars and he didn't win AR. Yet he thinks he's every bit as good as Coach or ER thinks they are. How can you think you are such hot stuff when you have lost 3 out of 3 times??

Loove Boston Rob! I think he knows who and what he is, he just makes the most of his opportunities.

The banner at the top is excellent! Thanks banner-mod!

Boston Rob IS a way better player than Coach or Russell. He is easy to look at, and he is very down to earth about who he is. I love him agreeing to be on this show.

Rox, maybe I got it backwards (Rupert's wt.) He talked about it on the short video that is with his bio.

I'm a big fan of Boston Rob and so glad to see him back. Lance, I think he looks at it as coming in 2nd (once on TAR, once on Surv.) and not as losing. I think he as a person is probably a genuinely nice person and hopefully he'll have lots of strategy and not get voted out too quickly.

Cirie and Boston Rob are my favs out of this cast because they constantly strategize, share it with the viewers, are smart at this game and seem to me to be really nice respectful people in real life. While I like to watch Russell and Tyson a lot in Survivor, I can't like them as well because I do not feel they are nice or respectful people. To me they are only good entertainment. I'd throw Rupert in with Rob and Cirie if I could remember if he played the game well/smart...but I don't have memories a lot of him except that he stole the shoes on his first season and he built a bad shelter on the second.
