well, if they really are separated by gender, he had best hope the guys love him, too! otherwise, i don't expect him to be around long!
while some women may find it appealing that he models (not me, personally...), most of the guys would think it was wussy, or wish they had a body fit for modeling!!

Did you notice that the contestant Dave Johnson was born and raised in Ellicott City, MD? It's the first sentence in his CBS cast biography:

"Dave Johnson was born and raised in Ellicott City, Md."
And then in Ryan's biography:
"Aiken is currently single and lives in Ellicott City, Md. with his dog, Pudgey."

Ellicott City, MD
Population 2000: 56,397
Metro area: Baltimore

3 High Schools

Now, what are their ages?
Ryan=23
Dave=24

Do they know eachother? Hard to say- close in age so if both played sports they could. Then again, this isn't saying they grew up there is it, just that they live there now? I think it's suspicious and i wonder why they would pick people from the same city. Even if they don't know each other it'll be a bonding thing for them and may make them either look like they have an allianace or cause them to form one. Who knows? Their relationship will be interesting. I wonder if we will be shown any footage of them discussing home or acknowledging this fact.

On the main CBS Survivor page, the pic that has the men standing and then the women next to them...who is the guy on the end, closest to the women, the guy in the dark blue shirt? Is that Ryan? Or is he the guy in the grey shirt with the hat?

I think the guy on the end in the blue looks like the best looking guy, but I can't tell who it is from just the head shots!

Yup he is pretty, but it doesn't sound like pretty gets you very far in his tribe.

Here's the early show interview, taken from media fiends.com:

After clips of last night's show, Julie Chen welcomes Ryan who was the first person booted from Survivor: The Amazon. She teased him about saying the girls won't beat them at anything. He told her she looks great & Happy Valentine's Day. He gave her a gift. She said it won't get him back in the Amazon. He said they look good in red.

Yesterday was his 24th birthday & he had to watch himself get voted off in the hotel with his brother. Ryan said it was sad & his brother did not know he was getting voted off & they were coming to New York for the premiere.

Ryan said he & Roger had animosity from the beginning cuz they were too similar personalities or older/ younger guy phobia & they just clashed. He joked that it could have been the foot massage competition they had. (This guy fanices himself as funny - NOT!)

He said he thought everything was going to go good cuz Rob agreed to vote with him & then he was sent packing.

He said you can slo-mo his face when he found out the tribes were split by gender to see where he breaks down & cries. His strategy, his book of goodies, was gone. His strategy was he could get with the women cuz he works better with women than guys & he loves them & hopefully they would love him.

Julie called him on saying at Tribal Council that not one of the girls were worth a million dollars. He said it's a good line. He said she missed the conversation before that. You are competing for a million dollars & it is a game so any animosity you have you realize it is a game. It's hurtful watching last night & the thoughts that were in his head but in all it was a wonderful experience.

After the break Julie said they guys could talk the talk but not walk the walk especially when it came to the balance beam. She asked what happened? Again Ryan tries to be Funny Man & said earlier he & Dan had been by the canoe & they were bathing to get ready for the challenge & Dan was attacked by 5 anacondas & Ryan saved his life. Julie said he is such a liar. Ryan said Dan broke his legs & that's why they couldn't get across the balance beam. Julie said they had a 20-minute lead which you couldn't tell on TV. Ryan said yeah were kind with editing cuz they could have spent the whole show watching them try to cross the beam. He said Dan was struggling & the only thing he could do was try to be supportive. At the time, you're losing & the girls are coming & all you can do is scream & yell.

The first caller asked if he thought Daniel should have been voted off first cuz he is the one that caused their team to lose? Ryan said outright, yeah, but strategically that's not the way it went down cuz he had animosity with Roger from the first night & it wasn't an issue with Dan at all. Dave is from his hometown, D.C., & he was scared to back him so went for a swing vote which is Dan who is a freelance so that changed the outcome of the game where he had to rely on Rob & we saw what happened.

Next caller asked what did he get out of being on the show? He said one of the greatest experiences of his life. He didn't go on for fame but for the experience & to win a million dollars & he obviously didn't get the million. He would love to do it again but they would have to talk about if it was men versus women.

Next caller asked how much of the wins of the future challenges would be won or lost due to the segragation of the tribes. He didn't understand the question & had her repeat it. He said it is a good question. He thinks guys are physically stronger than girls but some of the challenges are completely mental. Julie said she thinks the question is about the division within the tribes. Ryan said he had animosity but doesn't know anything else.

I didn't think he came off well at all on the ES. Like you said, he was trying to be Funny Man. And I felt like he was trying to hit on the girls. He kept making superficial compliments to Julie, and I think to one of the girl callers.

He struck me as the type who thinks he is giving a girl a real thrill to "notice" her and give her a compliment. Blech!

I thought Julie handled him pretty well. It was definatly a 'Blech!' moment - and then he did it again, and again, and again....

I agree - BLECH, BLECH, BLECH!!!!!

He sounds painfully immature in the chat, IMHO.

YEah, he does sound immature, but since he's just turning 24 I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he'll mature has he gets older.

I'm just ticked off they voted off my eye-candy the first week! :)
