I am – Hercules!!


About the contestants:
* There are 16.
* They appear to be less racially diverse than those competing in the highly integrated prior two seasons.
* Four of the 16 live in Greater Los Angeles.
* Nine of the 16 are less than 30 years of age.
* 14 of the 16 are less than 39 years of age.
* The youngest, student Frosti Zernow, is 20.
* The oldest, farmer Chicken Morris, is 47.
* According to his CBS bio, Chicken Morris was married 40 years, which means the Virginia native was already married before he reached the age of eight.
* Chicken Morris is a chicken farmer.
* None are billed as bartenders, but there is a waitress.
* One contestant, Ashley Massaro, is a former WWE wrestler.
* Other professions listed include ex-model, flight attendant, surfing instructor, hiking guide, musician, professional poker player, school lunch lady and grave digger.
* As per "Survivor" tradition, several of the women contestants are superhot, but angry virgins in talkback will insist that only one, or none, of them is even remotely attractive.

About the game:
* There will be two tribes on two Chinese islands.
* I noticed no mention in the CBS press release of an “outcast island.”
* The tribal names mean “Fighting Tiger” and “Flying Dragon.” (No word on anything crouching, but immunity idols will be hidden.)
* Both tribes will be given a copy of Sun Tzu's “The Art of War.”
* An immunity idol will be hidden in plain sight at both camps.
* Reward challenges will allow a tribe to “kidnap” players from an opposing tribe.

From the CBS press release:

The person who is kidnapped will receive a note from host Jeff Probst before departing for the enemy camp and will be instructed to give it to one member of the enemy tribe (the kidnapped victim will decide who receives it) in private. The clue will inform this person of the Hidden Immunity Idol located somewhere at their camp. This person must then decide if they wish to share the information with their tribe or keep it to themselves. The kidnapped victim will return to their original tribe at the following Immunity Challenge.
