Rolling eyes
I read that filming in Thailand was during monsoon season, with nonstop rain deluging the castaways over the last half of the show. Can't wait for the whining to begin LOL.

I'm looking forward to seeing this one too. We're Survivor addicts.

Oh well/ I guess the Survivor producers could not resist the lure of "sex." That is what I like least about Big Brother, full of sexy people that are not "real" people. When I looked over the bios of the new Survivor cast I was impressed by 2 things: many of the contestants seem like real people not sex symbols and fluff, and most of the contestants have some very impressive sounding physical capabilities. I only saw 2 women who seemed to be totally lacking in survivor related characteristics.

Anyone else see something a bunch of them have in common?

Erin - Hometown, Austin, Texas
Jan - Born in Texas
Penny - Hometown, Plano, Texas
Clay - Born in Texas
Jake - Hometown, McKinney, Texas
Jed - Hometown, Dallas, Texas
Ted - Played football in Texas (For Dallas Cowboys)

A lot of Texas in there!!!

Here is the home State breakdown...

TX - 4
LA - 2
NY - 2
RI
FL
NC
AZ
CA
TN
AR
CO

I think they're pushing for the Texas market.

I also noticed the breakdown of luxury items:
3 for physical activity: frisbee,skateboard, and golf club with one ball (what happens when he loses it?)
3 family momentos: family picture, keychain with pictures, and daughter's doll
2 frivolous: fuzzy slippers and PJ's
2 somewhat practical: brush and shaving kit
2 entertaining: body paint and guitar with pick
1 lucky travelling bag
2 symbolic of their owners: Christian flag and police shield
1 journal and pen (very interesting- might be able to keep track better of info about other contestants and win more contests that require mental prowess)

AND: it seems like more than usual are married this time- half of them are/ and 1 is engaged

And did anyone notice if there are any gay persons this time?
I could not see any.

Ages: 20's---- 7
30's----4
40's----3
50's----1
60's----1

Did anyone watch the sneak preview video? They are dividing the tribes by gender from the very beginning! It's the men against the women!!!

I hadn't heard that the men were going to be one tribe and the women another. That should make for an interesting twist.

Now what kind of deal is that pitting the men against the women right off the bat?? Seems unfair as far as the physical challenges go. If the men keep winning every time, I think it would get boring to watch real quick.

Surely it's a ploy to throw everyone off before the show even starts, you think??

I think your right, they are trying to trick us. This can't be " the big twist" they have talked about. Otherwise how can it be a surprise when they have supposedly given it away. I don't see how men against women could possibly work. Can't wait to find out!

Don't sell the women short. Some of them have super physical skills especially in the water where a lot of the Survivor contests take place. Yay, women !!!!
