Herc’s Seen The Models’ Privates Blurred On Tonight’s SURVIVOR: TOCANTINS Premiere!!
I am – Hercules!!
Sixteen contestants to start.
One’s a teenager.
Nine are twentysomethings.
Four are thirtysomethings.
Two are fortysomethings.
And there’s a 53-year-old.
Only two models and one bartender this season.
Mark Burnett and Jeff Probst continue to cleave to the fiction that no one is cast on the basis of their looks, including these girls:
Sierra Reed, model
23, Los Angeles, CA
Sydney Wheeler, model
24, Raleigh, NC
Carolina Eastwood, bartender
26, West Hollywood, CA
Erinn Lobdell, hair stylist
26, Waukesha, WI
Candace Smith, attorney
31, Dayton, OH
The “other eleven”:
Spencer Duhm, student
19, Lakeland, FL
James "JT" Thomas, Jr., cattle rancher
24, Samson, AL
Joe Dowdle, real estate salesman
26, Austin, TX
Stephen Fishbach, corporate consultant
29, New York City, NY
Tyson Apostol, pro cyclist
29, Lindon, UT
Brendan Synnott, entrepreneur
30, New York City, NY
Tamara "Taj" Johnson-George, ex-pop star
37, Nashville, TN
Benjamin Wade, university soccer coach
37, Bolivar, MO
Debra "Debbie" Beebe, school principal
46, Auburn, AL
Jerry Sims, army sergeant
49, Rock Hill, SC
Sandy Burgin, bus driver
53, Louisville, KY
Taj, for those curious, sold over six million records and received a Grammy nomination as a member of Sisters With Voices:
Notes on 18.1:
* Probst assures us that the Brazilian Highlands boast temperatures of 120 degrees and rank among the most isolated places on Earth.
* The contestants are divided into teams offscreen, before the show starts.
* The “corporate consultant” is excited to have “a strung-out old lady” on his tribe because it means he won’t be the first voted out.
* There are three rounds of voting in this first episode: two at the beginning of the episode (to expel one person per tribe) and the traditional expulsion at the end. Since nobody knows anybody’s name at episode’s start, most are forced to write (not always flattering) descriptions of the individual they’re voting out.
* Both tribes have to begin the game by carrying all their supplies on four-hour hikes to their respective camps in 110-plus-degree weather.
* Tribe members arriving at camp are faced with a new-to-the-series strategic decision.
* No “exile island” is introduced in the opening episode, but there are hidden immunity idols.
* One of the contestants turns out to be a Mormon.
* The Mormon’s tribe sports a nudist.
* The hinder of one of the models is blurred by the meddling CBS censors.
* The first challenge is for both reward and immunity.
* The cattle rancher is fast.
* CBS has returned to its distrustful policy of not including the final eviction on its “Survivor” screeners.
8 p.m. Thursday. CBS.

The rest are solid

Somethign suddenly came up! I'm in
-
the attorney and the stylist are way hotter than the models.
-
if you haven't cast them on the basis of their looks, please start. I hate the seasons when there's one decent looking chick and she's out by week 4. And I hope that hair stylist sticks around a while, because she is by far the hottest one of the bunch.
-
Don't make them play in the clothes they are wearing! It's much better when they can have bikinis and t-shirts!
-
As an avid follower of the show "Survivor" I am definitely looking forward to the new Season...yeah, sure, it's total cheese and is "reality-based" and supposedly unscripted TV (what "reality based" tv show out there doesn't proclaim to be "unscripted" but in actuality really IS?)...and sure it tends to dumb the viewers IQ down several notches...but it IS fun and IS a total Guilty please of mine to enjoy and watch too :)
I definitely have to agree with Jugdish and Itchy...that some of the women contestants this season are pretty freakin' HOT!!
But I will say this...it is a shame that each and every season of Survivor that has one or two really cute looking/hotties on the show always end up getting voted off the Island/Show/Location early in the Game!! (I was really hoping that "Sugar" would have won last season! :) )
Maybe there will be a turn around with all the new "talent" on this season? I hope so :)

Ya mean they finally cancelled Kath & Kim?
-
Equal time, Herc. Equal time.
-
when I say CBS should sell unblurred verions of the show on dvd
-
I can't wait for this to start!
-
parvarti!
-
but based on these pictures I might have to this time.
-
I loved that song they did for Free Willy, the one that sampled Human Nature by MJ!
-
...as there was last season?
-
Why is AICN covering this crap? I just don't get it. What kind of idiot watches reality shows?
-
He's done it before.
-
They're a hell of a lot more entertaining than the fuckton of shitty rehashed cop shows that dominate network television.

But, I will admit, Herc needs to quit covering the MTV ones.

This coming from the most outspoken "Real World" fan here. That network is fucking pathetic nowadays and doesn't deserve a spotlight what-so-ever until they get their act together.
-
so arguably the hottest one, the 'attorney', has an imdb.com page and she's already been on Friday Night Lights, Beerfest, and other stuff. I love how they try to emphasize that these are 'normal, everyday' people, but really they're mostly actors and 'models.' Don't cast on looks, my ass.
-
Some of these chicks must have done some ' artistic ' posing I'm sure. They are all wannabees, and probably have a Myspace page.
The brunette ( 3rd down) is fucking spectacular. -
I want to see a season where Les Stroud captains a tribe and Bear Grilles captains the other. It could be a battle of TV survival guides. With that being said I think Les would make Bear his bitch.

Goodbye Boob-Girl

And then they have to MAKE their own clothing. If they can't, then too bad. Of course, this should play out on a cable channel. Eventually they could give them shoes, but I would like to see some of these would-be actors and actresses looking like idiots while trying to cover up during very physical challenges. Plus, the gross-out factor would be funny to see with the other players.
-
the tradition of voting off the hot chicks first. They let the batender go??? How does a 19 year old guy not want to look at that for a few more weeks? No matter what the old lady should have gone, simply because she's annoying.
-
I think she is the most camera-aware survivor ever. No need to dub her testimonial over video of what she is up to because she is more than happy to deliver a running commentary for everything she does.Does anyone else think Coach might be an even bigger Steven Seagal fan than Vern?
-
...and I'm not guilty about it. I love it - and I've been watching forever. This season's first ep was a bit slow, but so was last season and it turned out to be one of my favorites. As far as the looks of the contestants, why didn't you post a pic of all of them? Yes, there are always attractive women and men on the show. But they don't always STAY on the show, and there's usually an equal number of average looking people as well.
