Meet Now CBS' Not-All-Star Cast Of SURVIVOR SAMOA!!
I am – Hercules!!
I noticed from the promos during Tuesday’s “Big Brother” that this fall’s 19th edition of “Survivor” is not another all-star edition (Mark Burnett & Co. are saving that for the 20th, early-2010 edition), and CBS’ website for the show now confirms as much.
They’re starting with a whopping 20 contestants this fall.
At least 50 percent of them are from Southern California.
50 percent of them are 28 or younger.
80 percent of them are 39 or younger
At least 20 percent of the contestants are either lawyers or law students.
Another 10 percent of them are Los Angeles hairstylists.
Another 10 percent are 28-year-old Southern California bartenders.
The gals, some posing hand-on-hip:
Ashley Trainer, 22, spa seller, Maple Grove, Minn.
Kelly Sharbaugh, 25, hairstylist, Los Angeles
Monica Padilla, 25, law student, San Diego
Marisa Calihan, 26, student, Cincinnati, Ohio
Natalie White, 26, pharmaceutical seller, Van Buren, Ark.
Elizabeth Kim, 33, attorney, New York

Laura Morett, 39, office manager, Salem, Ore.
Shannon Waters, 45, ex-marine, Renton, Wash.
Betsy Bolan, 48, cop, Campton, N.H.
The dudes:
Brett Clouser, 23, t-shirt designer, Los Angeles
John Fincher, 25, rocket scientist, Los Angeles
Ben Browning, 28, bar manager, Los Angeles
Erik Cardona, 28, bartender, Ontario, Calif.

I admit, I still watch it. It's like the Taco Bell of TV.
-
and scripted
-
This kinda 'reality' show is a dead man walking. Give the talent shows another year or so and they'll be gone too.
-
So boring during the offseason.
-
*barf*
-
...to make up for the lack of any the past season. I bet Ashley Trainer is a mink in bed.
-
You strand the douche bag in the wild with little in the way of supplies (Survivor Man Style). He flounders about for most of the show and ends the episode with his excuse on why he had to be rescued.
-
......AICN does not love you.
-
There always has to be one of those soulless bastards, also that Sharbaugh chick has a crazy vibe coming off her.Pics were great until the dude with the mullet and headband.
-
C'mon, AICN. I like looking at women in bikinis as much as the next heterosexual, but if you absolutely must parade the meat, at least be even-handed about it.
-
I'm disappointed.
-
...Sheryl Crow.

The show still can't get away from the bartenders can it?

-
I liked that show.
-
The All-Star novelty ran out quickly the first time, and it turned into one of the dullest seasons. The game is better with strangers.
-
Should be a good season
-
Well, there are two ways. One is the MAD Magazine parody of it, where they take a bunch of rich yuppies and make them live as homeless people in New York City or Baltimore, and have to forage for rats, bum for change, and blast their dukies in a pickle jar. The other way I'd watch Survivor is if the person voted off wasn't actually voted off, but cannibalized by the other members.
-
She ought to be fun. I haven't watched Survivor for years now so what the hell am I posting for?
-
I'm friends with a camera man who has worked on 9 seasons, spread out since season one. Season one was the ONLY season where the crew got involved, giving the cast members pizza and help. Since it exploded and became so huge, they have kept the rules very strict on this show, and it is only of the ONLY "reality" shows that does not script or fix it's show. Believe it or not, this one is still "reality".
-
"I liked it until Mrs. Headband *barf*" Poster tangcameo, I'd like to see you say that to her face. She'd make you cry like a little baby.
-
The toughest season yet!!!
-
I don't even watch this show but GOOD LORD is she fit. Interesting bio, too. (Yes, I had to see for myself.)
-
Rupert. Richard and Rudy. Johnny Fairplay. Big Tom. Bob. The Dragon Slayer and Boston Rob are exceptions. Sure the occasional hot female player does well but it's the normal looking guys that often are the most entertaining. Since they started casting out of The Real World "hot singles" playbook I've tuned out unless someone told me something interesting was happening, like last season's Dragon Slayer.
-
The ads should be Survivor whatever warm weather place and during the premiere the contestants are on a transport plane thinking they are about to land in some tropical paradise but instead the back opens revealing that they've landed on an airstrip in Alaska or the Yukon territory. No more lounging around doing nothing or failing to start a fire- in cold weather, that shit will get you get frostbite or killed. Trying to survive in warm weather is hard enough but doing all that and trying to keep warm at the same time, now that's a real challenge!
-
Shermdawg are you high?...Yasmin would like like Sheryl Crow only if Crow was black and had a weave...I think you got your names mixed up...the names of the contestants are underneath their pic not above it dude!!
-
Anyway, this year better be better than the last few of them. Woof. Can we get rid of the second immunity idol? No one ever plays it.
-
The pharmaceutical sales lady is from my hometown. Still can't bring myself to care, though.
-
Crow T. Robot from MST3K? If that's the Crow you're talking about, I wanna know where you're getting that good shit at.
-
I'll be watching. Let the mud wrestling begin.
-
Looks like some potential blur-worthy butt cracks in this lineup. Survivor is one of my nerdy guilty pleasures. You should see me scramble for the remote when someone enters the room.
-
Scroll up.
-
They have one from driving on the right-hand side of the road to the left! They just did it this month. It's fucked up the entire country.
-
Now those are shows I wanna see!
-
Maybe Herc realized the hypocrisy of always including the Bonaduce line - disparaging those who are not fans of reality tv - while at the same time banning so-called "Trolls" who counter with "Reality TV sucks".Isn't it a bit early to anticipate an All-Stars season? Wasn't the last one just 3 seasons ago (granted, Fans vs Favourites wasn't, technically "All-Stars", but it had a bunch of popular players back for a second kick at the can)? I'm not complaining - Fans vs Favourites, though it started slow, had some of the best moments the show's ever had. Would All-Stars players come from the seasons since the last All-Stars, or all 20 seasons? I assume it won't just be those who have played since Fans/Favourites.
-
Make them run around naked for 39 days. (Or at most string bikinis.) I guarantee a ratings boost like never before (better than Baywatch.)

It's time to stop referring to "reality TV" as a single genre.
by flim springfield
Really folks, it's been ten years of this complaining now. Can we stop pretending Survivor, American Idol, the Bachelor, the Osbornes, etc. are all the same genre? They're completely different shows!
It's true they're mostly populated by people who just want to be famous- but ALL of TV is. That's why they're on TV! -

Just used it as an example of the "celebrity family" shows.
by flim springfield
-
better go by some rope to hang myself after that one.
-
...and someone is complaining about that?
-
then see Sharon Osbourne toss around Ozzy like a burnt out puppet. Poor bastard.
-
And there is no surprise that a cunt like Herc would have any understanding of such a thing.
-
Oh, wait... she's from Campton, N.H. not Compton, L.A.BOO-RAH!

A reality show for more than just 13 year old girls! Nice!
by flandersbum
Cool article about an interesting show! See? It's not that all reality shows suck and shouldn't be mentioned on this supposidly 'cool' site! It all depends on the show and network. Anything on Materialism Television (MTV) which always focuses on shallow, untalented, spoiled and useless people = 13 year old girls. Shows that focus on 'regular', older people may actually be worthwhile.
-
Or whatever's on CBS now? It's so damn dull. All they do is sit around and the muscle freaks boss around everyone.
-
Watching hot chicks struggle is the best. They'll vote off the marine first cause she's not hot and she'll be bossy, cause he thinks she's a survival expert. This show remains great cause the contestants always find new ways to justify stabbing each other in the back for a million bucks.
