Okay...I didn't know where to put this but did anyone else know that Matt from Survivor: RI is an actor?? You know...Matt who spent a gazillion years by himself on RI and survived amazingly well, won himself a place in the game again and was painfully tossed right back to RI? (I had a lot of respect for him! Plus he was one of a few Christians on Survivor that I thought represented his faith well)
Anyway, I was reading an article about the Lifetime movie Petals In the Wind, the sequel to Flowers In the Attic and his name didn't strike a bell. He goes by Wyatt Nash now. But they explained that he used to go by Matt Elrod and was on Survivor. Apparently Wyatt is his middle name and Nash is part of Nashville (did he grow up there?) so he changed his name when he broke into the biz because he didn't want his Survivor past to to give him a leg up, he wanted to work his way to where he is now.
The article also said he was on Pretty Little Liars and Rake, neither of which I've never seen. But I am looking forward to seeing his acting chops on Petals in the Wind because I did like reading that book series when I was a kid. Plus he's kind of a looker haha
Anyway I was just curious if anyone else knew this because it kinda blew my mind!

I'm thinking he changed his name, not because he didn't want a leg up, but because it actually is kind of frowned on amoung "real" actors to be a reality TV personality. My daughter and I watch Pretty Little Liars and I don't recall him at all. I'm going to have to go goggle a bit... Okay, WOW! I didn't recognize him at all on PLL. Now that I know who he is, I guess it's the lack of long hair. He's very handsome. I'm looking forward to Petals on the Wind too -- I didn't really like the movie adaptaion of the first books -- both were so corny, but I read those books as a tween so it will be fun to see the second one made into a movie, finally.

This is the link I found for his information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyatt_Nash
I was looking at pictures and thinking the smile looked different but I guess it is him. IMDB doesn't have all the info like wiki does.

Certainly it is him, and of course he would be an actor. That's who Survivor was casting during that period. I am hoping that this last go-round of having actual real people was not a fluke, and they do not go back to just casting actors.

I read 2 of the contestants had to drop out because of illness before filming began. They said now they will be starting out with 18, and an uneven number of men and women. They did not say who it was.

Just a reminder to all that we need a link to article sources and it must only be a short excerpt of the article. Otherwise we have to remove them. Thanks for understanding.

A day after the Motion Picture Editors Guild notified the producers of Survivor that its editors wanted a union contract, the postproduction crew has walked off the veteran reality show. “The post crew of CBS’ #Survivor has walked off the job, halting post for an IATSE contract,” the guild tweeted late this morning. Picketing lines have been set up outside the Santa Monica HQ of Island Post Productions.

Well, that was quick. The page from the link above has been updated:
EXCLUSIVE UPDATE, 10:03 PM: It’s not a tribal council but it is a move towards a vote. After less than 12 hours, the strike by Survivor editors and other postproduction staff is over. Mark Burnett’s Island Post Productions has agreed to union recognition for the two dozen or so postproduction staff who walked off the job today.

LOL John Rocker - I've met him a few times (my cousin pitched with him for the Braves). He's every bit as crazy as his reputation. Looking forward to seeing what he does.

Thanks, Naja, for the link above!
I was under the impression that we were going to see almost all "repeats" or "cbs recasts". The only ones I recognize are the twinnies and Laura & Ciera.
Are there any other repeaters that I missed?

Laura & Ciera aren't in this cast. They were just used to show the drama from the last Blood vs. Water.

I agree.....the "twinnies"....Ugh!! My least favorite team on Amazing Race! I hope they're out as soon as they were the 2nd time around on AR.

Jeff said the "twinnies" were so well liked and will be so much fun from Amazing Race. Well I, for one, don't care if I ever see them or HEAR them again. They annoy the heck out of me and I don't think I would enjoy seeing them on Survivor. Hope they get booted off soon.

Agreed Auntiemike! I'll never forget I think they were at their worst when they were on that one challenge where they had to patch up a city bus in india or something. They had to put a putty like paste on the side and then properly sand it or something. All the teams struggled with that one but I remember lots of confessionals from other teams talking about how annoying they were when they were saying "go twinnies!" over and over when they weren't arguing and yelling at each other.
I didn't enjoy seeing them multiple times on TAR and I'm not looking forward to seeing them on Survivor. Hope they go soon!

As I drove past the farming country of Eastern Washington yesterday, I went by Ephrata and gave a "shout out" to Dale. Wondering how he is adjusting to life on the farm after his Survivor adventure.

Auntiemike....that is soo funny because where I came from in PA there is an Ephrata about 50 miles from where I lived. Didn't read Dale's bio and thought he was PA. You learn something new everyday!
