Survivor 10 - Meet the Cast
 

Check it out:

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor10/

Begins February 17th already! That means I'll have Survivor, Amazing Race AND The Apprentice on every week! Holy reality overload Batman! (Plus my wife watches American Idol....)

I'm there, for sure.

Is this the first time the normal Survivor has 20 contestants?

I don't remember 20 contestants on any of the other "Survivors". I think it has always been 18. But I also read that 3 people will be eliminated in the first episode. Apparently, there will be a few changes. I'm ready for my "Survivor" fix........

It was always 16 until All-Star, then last season was 18.

Here are some demographics:

MALE - 10
FEMALE - 10

UNDER 30 - 11
OVER 30 - 9

ALABAMA - 3
CALIFORNIA - 3
TEXAS - 3
OHIO - 2
PENNSYLVANIA - 2
FLORIDA - 1
ILLINOIS - 1
LOUISIANA - 1
NEVADA - 1
NEW YORK - 1
SOUTH CAROLINA - 1
WASHINGTON - 1

Im SO reay for this!!!!

So does anyone want to make a guess as to what they are going to do to shake it up this time? There has to be a major change to the game as things are really starting to stagnate.

**All individual immunity?

Any ideas?

Wait. There has been 10 survivor "seasons" already? WTF

Palau Tiga
Australia
Africa
Amazon
Thailand
Marquesas
Pearl Islands
Pearl Islands #2
Vanuatu
Palau #2

I've definetly miss at most one episode from each of the first nine seasons. I'll admit Vanuatu wasn't the best except for sweet, sweet, Julie Berry. Hopefully going from 16 to 18 to 20 works out, gives them double eliminations and what not.

Right. Still just 39 days, even with 4 extra people. Means multiple eliminations or eliminations more often than every 3rd day.

I've hoped for a few seasons that they would randomly reset the teams after every elimintation.

None of the women are really eye catching for me. I guess I'll have to pick someone to route for instead of just getting a crush on one of them :icare:

is this to become the official Survivor 10 thread? The one in which we comment before and after every episode about how good/bad it will be/ was?

If so, I'm stoked about the new episode. But a few things. Whats with a return to Palau? Are there really that few places to shoot Survivor??

Second, in the commercials they said that the catch for this years survivor is "no help of any kind"??? Does that mean they don't have the "local native tribesman" come in about episode 4 or 5 who comes in and tells them all the plants and roots they can eat? Does it also mean no cooking pot? No machete? Hmmmm.

Can't wait for Survivor 12. When they release real live polar bears on the island to terrorize the contestants.

Here we go... Starts this week. I can't wait. Just need to decide to watch survivor, tape the OC? Or tape the OC and watch surviror...

Damn, I hadn't thought of that. This could cause some conflict in my house :confused: what to do....?

My wife and I have discovered that taping Survivor and watching The O.C. is the better plan. That way, when something critical happens or is whispered, we can back it up and watch again more closely.

The O.C. doesn't seem to have the same urgency.

Sweet. Who will be the slutty one that pisses off the ugly women? Which guy will be ousted for being a sexist? Who are the hotties? I can't wait to find out.

I think it would be fucking cool if instead of having real teams, the teams are picked at random before each challenge. That would really fuck with things.

I'll make a first prediction IF it's guys against gals again. The beefy guys will hang out the first day, and the older, and not so beefy guys will hang out together. Girls will win first immunity and one by one the beefy guys will get picked off. This will swirl off to the demise of all the men on the island.

But maybe they will switch it up again, and teams will be co-ed.

Locke7: Spoiler: They are booting off 3 people on the first show.

Oh, I saw that somewhere as well. I just thought it was funny how last season, the big strong guys totally forgot that they would be perceived as a threat and that they were at risk. The "well, they need us to win challenges" doesn't work anymore.

Can they finally implement a Lord of the Flies theme already? Especially with all those WW2 machines lying around it could make for great forts and goodies.

I'd like to see more personal battles, like teams of 2 competing against other teams in the initial stages, then a final blending of all the remaining contestants for the last 3 or 4 episodes. They'd have to modify the challenges to accommodate this, but it would be far more interesting to see the smaller pairings, especially if 2 totally disparate people are paired.

Since the Amazing Race is borrowing contestants from other reality shows, Survivor could borrow from them: have each 2-member team select who is going to compete in a particular challenge; have roadblocks; and, have non-elimination rounds. There would be some areas to iron out, such as how would they select each episode's loser, but I think it would make it more interesting.

Just hope they get some people who actually something about surviving in the wilds for once.

I saw in the commercials for the 1st episode that 3 people go home by the end of the show

so, 3 it was. trying the spoiler cover here... Spoiler: boy am i glad the singing english teacher was one of the ones to go. she was driving me nuts!

interesting first show...

I saw an interview this morning with Jeff Probst, and he said that the survivors would be more interesting this time. I think he's right.

I thought it was sad. She was so excited to be there, unlike like a lot of the usual crying twits who beg to go home after two weeks.

And speaking of someone who already gets on my nerves, I wish Coby had been on that damn boat. Thank goodness I won't have to listen to Jo shrieking through more episodes.

The NEW AND REVISED remaining demographics:

MALE - 9
FEMALE - 8

UNDER 30 - 10
OVER 30 - 7

ALABAMA - 3
CALIFORNIA - 3
OHIO - 2
TEXAS - 1 (lost Jonathan and Jolanda)
PENNSYLVANIA - 1 (lost Wanda)
FLORIDA - 1
ILLINOIS - 1
LOUISIANA - 1
NEVADA - 1
NEW YORK - 1
SOUTH CAROLINA - 1
WASHINGTON - 1

i'll give you that. she definitely seemed excited to be there... in a hollywood musical kinda way. i think she was just a little too overwhelming, and it doesn't surprise me that the others would react a little negatively to that.

I was so glad to see the first person voted out was the person I wanted gone!!!

But her presence on the island might have made for some good television (lots of conflict). I don't think Angie (was that her name) will be nearly as interesting.

I felt so bad for angie being last, been there done that...all thru middle school its not fun

they are all american? Is that a rule of the game?

i'm still kinda shocked that coby didn't pick her... after all that "we are just alike - we know how it feels to be different" bullshit from him...

yeah I was too.....then I got really pissed at him.....I hope he goes quick :lol:

OK, what's the deal with hyping this show saying they were going to get nothing on the island. They were pushing that SO hard in the previews... Nothing, as in a map to the water and all your shoes. Oh and you get machete's (sp?) as well. Oh and at the first challenge one of you will get flint.

I actually don't care though. I loved the way the teams were picked. Straight out of 6th grade dodge ball. And the only reason I liked it is that a big buff guy got sent packing. Actually I feel kind of bad for him.

I think this is going to be a great season. The beautiful scenery (the land and the people) are nice on the eyes. Oh and I am waiting for the dolphin trainer to whip out one of those high pitched whistles, and have like 20 dolphins come right up to him and catch a bunch of fish.

i was thinking more like those telepathic rings that aquaman used to send out on the superfriends, but the whistle works, too. :lol:

YEah I was expecting a little less help on the show too. I did feel bad that those two had to get booted right away, but that lady was freaking annoying!!! What a loser. Like, did she not watch a single episode of Survivor before? DOesn't she know to stay below the radar early? What an idiot. She gives teachers a bad name.

I hope this season is better than last season. I'll still probably watch every episode, but I hope it's good.

I was so happy to see the teacher lady go. She was annoying.

The red team dropping their fire was funny as hell.

Yeah, they are all amercian otherwise I would have applied years ago. The only non-American ever on the show was Kel, the guy kicked off over the beef jerky scandal in season 3 or 4. He was CDN born but had served in the US military if I recall correctly.
