    4's really? Quick looking at online porn and get out of your parent's basement. These girls are not 10's but they are certainly no 4's. I would say they are mostly 7's or 8's with one 5-6.

    chicks always look better after a few weeks on the show

    by toe jam

    it's true. just look at stephanie and amanda from seasons past. once they've been on the island a few weeks, the makeup and extra pounds are gone and you can see who's really got the natural beauty. yeah, i'm a pig.

    Important Question

    by timmer33

    So the show's in HD. They're advertising that like crazy. But is it in widescreen??? I hate shows that are in HD and only in 4:3 aspect ratio. That's dumb. It better be 16:9.

    by philvis

    Don't get me wrong, I like a hot girl as much as the next guy, but loading a series about so-called survival skills and strategy with hot chicks is just beyond stupid. Are they trying to capture the 13-18 year old boy demographic or something. Let me guess, at least 2 of them will have a Playboy contract within 3 months of the show ending.

    by big jim

    She just may be fibbing about her age. But then again, look at Lindsey Lohan - roughly the same age and weathered look. I guess the California sun mixed with 10 years of hard partying can sneak up on a person.

    Reasons this season will probably suck:

    by homer sexual

    1. The last time they were in Africa was one of the terrible seasons.

    2. Probst is all talking up a "good vs. evil" and "greed vs. wisdom" split. This indicates a "good" winner, a "moral" and a boring season.

    3. There have been two good seasons in a row, so we're about due for another lame one.

    All that said, I'm totaly looking forward to the HD and assuming it will be 16:9 like all the other HD network shows.

    wooo hooo

    by slkboxrman

    for survivor, not the chicks....some are hot, not all of them...the ones that are naturally hot will still look mostly hot by the end of the season.....me being from NYC will be rooting somewhat for the actress and lawyer from the big apple.....of course i may hate them right away, sometimes happens....but i did dig that anorexic blonde from nyc that was on the show a couple of years ago,...and she made it to the final 3....so ill just have to watch....damn i need to get me an HDTV for next september.....on a survivor note....have any of u caught the cartoon parody of survivor on the cartoon network called "total drama island" it has a dead on mocking of probst, and all the usual stereotypes theyve had on the show over the years....fat dude, cutthroat bitch, dumb blonde, hot girl, goth chick, hunky dude...those arent the character names but u get the idea....the interesting thing is that they started with 22 campers and theyve been voting them out...but they do it like some reality shows have been doing , with having one less rose then there are people remaining, and whoever is left without one leaves...in the case of TDI its marshmallows, since they are at an abandoned summer camp.....i keep expecting jason voorhies to show up....lol....u survivor fans should give it a look or YOUTUBE it..

    Not Ken Combo, Shigeru

    by maelstrom_zero

    Shigeru, I doubt that Ken's doing to Ken Combo all of them. I'd bet on him doing multiple u-throw chaingrabs to 65%, then doing a tippered f-smash. I mean, all those women in bikinis look like fastfallers to me. And on that note, I'm going to watch this season of Survivor. Hopefully Ken wins. Though I doubt that videogame mindgames have any real-world application.

    by executor

    If you're scouring Brooklyn you're going to come up empty. Jessica Kiper lives in L.A. and is an actress (check imdb). And having the "pleasure" of dating her for a while I can say she's crazy as a fucking loon. Should make some good TV though.

    Leafy McPlantsalot, re: the hot Production Assistant.

    by executor

    The reason you don't see more hot production assistants is that they're immediately promoted to segment producers after 4 days of flirting, or one night with the supervising producer, whatever comes first.

    by smackfu

    I would slap down an innuendo every time the cameras were on us. Even at the tribal council, I'd be like 'You know Jeff, at first I didn't like Cox, didn't trust Cox. But after spending some time together, I think I've learned how to handle Cox."

    Girls never know how to DI well, and if Ken counterpicks FD, they are all fucked. Too bad M2K isn't on the show, though, he would jv 4 stock them all.
