Holy possible kill-screen! “Surivor: Gabon,” the first edition of the pioneering reality show to be shot and broadcast in HD, will see track star and 2004 Olympic gold medalist Crystal Cox pitted against current international champion of Nintendo's Super Smash Brothers Melee video game Ken Hoang!
Why is track part of the Olympics but not Nintendo's Super Smash Brothers Melee?
This season we also get two female medical sales reps (a job rapidly replacing bartending as the hottest of all reality-show contestant occupations) as well as two lawyers, an M.D., a model and a pro trainer.
13 of the 18 contestants are 29 or younger.
14 of the 18 contestants are 32 or younger.
One-third of the contestants make their homes in Southern California.
At least one-third of the 18 contestants look really good in bikinis:
Kelly Czarnecki, 22, salesgirl, Buffalo Grove, Ill.
Michelle Chase, 24, production assistant, Los Angeles.
(Michelle provides the title of this post.)
Paloma Soto-Castillo, 24, student, Downey, Calif.
Jacque Berg, 25, medical sales, Santa Barbara, Calif.
Corinne Kaplan, 29, pharmaceutical sales, Los Angeles.
(Emmy-winner Jeff Probst says: “not likeable.”)
