I like the logo, the colors and water theme are very soothing.

I am very happy that they will have to get their own food, water, etc. It will definitely make things more interesting and is a welcome change. This now also makes things a lot more interesting. Think how much more valuable Ramona would have been if they actually had to distill their own water. Anyone can cook rice, but now team members will probably be valued more for their skills and not just their personalities. It will be more like Richard with the fish than S3's boring lot.

The list of players, if it's accurate, intrigues me, especially their occupations. But what it's missing is their role on the show. Which one is the old codger? Who is the butchy blue collar female? Who is the young hunk? Who is the explosive girl? Who is the know-it-all? Who is Mom?

LOL though at some of the job descriptions. What exactly is an aromatherapy consultant? Is that a salesperson in a candle shop? I see that we have our resident bartender, not sure about Mark Burnett's obsession with bartenders. It will be interesting to see how much each person tries to assert their own unique skills in an effort to appear valuable. There is a doctor, but I'd be surprised if they took away the show doctors completely and made the teams depend on her.... she is retired so is probably old. Unfortunately I bet she is the first to go.

Thanks MsMoon!

Actually Crazydog, on S3, they all had jobs listed, but it turned out most of them were unemployed!

There is some spec out there that the S4 cast has a higher ratio of young, pretty people. Hmm.

I hope we get at least a few codgers... just for the spice of it!

Well, they will never ever beat Big Tom for the lovable old codger type. Of course Rudy and the "I dunno" was a true classic! I hope that we don't get all young and pretty types. I have never been a fan of those "pretty" ones, but love the true "characters"! They are what make the show fun! :)

I just don't know how I'll make it another month without my weekly Survivor fix....major withdrawal symptoms this week when there was nothing to watch at 8pm Thursday!!! :(

Thanks Car. The only thing not mentioned about the caps at Survivor Fever is that the dark haired guy that is diving, also appears to be bald on top.

Ark, don't go there- we have some follically challenged members around here!

Car, I have a follically challenged husband and the sun reflects off of his smooth head just like it is does off the guys head in the picture. I just thought I'd point it out because this cast has been reported to be young. This guy might be one of the few over 30. Although, DH could have reflected light in his 20's if his hair was cropped short.

From Reuters/Variety Jan 30:

CBS shows "Survivor" skills

HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Call it Super Sunday II: In a bid to maximize its May sweeps performance, CBS has moved the two-hour final episode of the upcoming "Survivor: Marquesas" from a traditional Thursday-night berth to Sunday, May 19.
In addition, CBS will bulk up its midseason schedule with a pair of reality hours, bringing back "The Amazing Race" earlier than expected and bowing the Tony Scott/Ridley Scott-produced "AFP: American Fighter Pilot" at the end of March.

As for "Survivor," the Sunday scheduling means CBS will have no fewer than four hours of "Survivor"-related programming during the last full week of the May ratings book. The penultimate episode of season four of Mark Burnett's reality hit will air as planned on Thursday, May 16; a two-hour finale follows from 8-10 p.m. on May 19; and an hourlong post-show is set for 10 p.m.

CBS also avoids pitting the "Survivor" finale night opposite the May 16 denouements of NBC's Thursday sitcoms and Anthony Edwards' "ER" swan song. On the down side, "Survivor" will now likely sign off against the series finale of Fox's "The X-Files."

Whatever the pros and cons of the move, CBS execs call the Sunday scheduling a simple matter of arithmetic. In order to cram in 14 hours of the show between the show's Feb. 28 season premiere and the end of May sweeps, the network needed to double-pump the franchise for a week.

"Getting more episodes in sweeps is a plus, but if you do the math, and count the weeks, this is the way the numbers dripped out," said Kelly Kahl, executive VP of scheduling and program planning for CBS.

Once CBS decided to double up during sweeps, it had to figure out on which night to schedule the extra episode.

"Putting it on a Sunday seemed like a logical choice," Kahl said. "It's a night where the networks have traditionally put some of their biggest events, and nothing's bigger than a 'Survivor' finale."

Indeed, the number of homes using TV is generally higher on Sunday than most nights of the week, giving CBS more potential viewers for the "Survivor" wrap. What's more, CBS' Sunday ratings track record has been spotty this season, ensuring the network will substantially improve its average for the night by putting the "Survivor" finale on May 19.

While "The X-Files" finale figures to do big numbers for Fox, CBS executives said their "Survivor" scheduling was based more on maximizing its value to CBS and less on avoiding other networks' big guns.

"It's such a competitive month, at some point, you're going to have a hard time finding a night where you're not going to go up against something else," Kahl said.

Meanwhile, CBS is hoping to use "Survivor" to boost "The Amazing Race 2."

"Race" will premiere with a preview episode on March 11 at 10 p.m., following CBS' successful Monday comedy block. It will then settle into its regular 9 p.m. time slot March 13, boosted on that evening and on March 20 by special Wednesday-night editions of "Survivor."

As previously announced, "Survivor" will air on Wednesdays for two weeks because of CBS' commitments to NCAA basketball on Thursday nights.

"AFP: American Fighter Pilots" will premiere at 8 p.m. March 29, replacing the on-hiatus "Ellen" and the canceled "Danny." It follows U.S. Air Force pilots as they train for combat.

CBS has had success airing "JAG" repeats at 8 p.m. Fridays as a lead-in to the modestly successful midseason legal drama "First Monday." Network executives think the same audience will tune in for "AFP."
