If there is one thing we know very well about CBS reality television, it is this: They really love putting poker players on the show. Jean-Robert and Garrett are the two who have graced “Survivor” over the past several years, and let’s say that neither of them has a sterling reputation. Can Anna Khait turn that around? […]
Kyle Jason on “Survivor: Kaoh Rong” is a heck of an interesting guy. He’s served overseas, worked as a private contractor for Blackwater, and is now a bounty hunter. In between his job history and all of the tattoos that he has, he may be one of the most intimidating people we’ve ever seen on […]
When we first saw the list of cast members for “Survivor: Kaoh Rong,” we wondered why Alecia Holden was on the brawn tribe. All we saw was that she was in the world of real estate, and that’s not really something that you tend to connect to physical strength. However, our understanding of her as […]
Darnell Hamilton is amazing. We have no idea how he’s going to do on “Survivor: Kaoh Rong,” but we hope that he can make it relatively far. He’s incredibly entertaining just to listen to, and this is without him playing the game. He’s also got a very different background than most other people who have come […]
Neal Gottlieb strikes us as someone who really wanted to go out and play the “Survivor” game at some point. He’s not necessarily the prototypical male contestant, but he’s got a number of tools that could serve him well: He’s highly-intelligent, hard-working, and based on what we’ve seen in both his video and his bio, […]
What we really like about “Survivor” casting is that every now and then, we do get characters who we haven’t seen on the show in a long time, if ever. Cydney Gillon is one of those people. We don’t see many female bodybuilders period, let alone ones on reality TV. She’s also got a big […]
Michele Fitzgerald loves “Harry Potter.” Is she the biggest fan of the boy wizard in “Survivor” history? We’re not sure that we can say that for sure, but we may probably spend the first few episodes trying to figure out what the sorting cap would choose for her. (We want to root for Slytherin, but […]
First of all, can we say how cool it is that someone like Joe Del Campo is on “Survivor” this season? Rudy back in “All-Stars” was the last contestant we’ve seen on the show in their seventies, and it’s just not something you see very often. This game kicks your butt physically and mentally, and […]
Aubry Bracco is the sort of “Survivor” castaway we like to see. While casting has always done a good job finding young men who are enormous fans of the show and analytical thinkers, they haven’t always done the best job of that with women. That has been changing over the past few years, and Aubry […]
Now that we are a few days removed from the official “Survivor: Kaoh Rong” cast announcement, we are here to officially kick off one of our favorite things to do every season: Spotlighting the cast! This is especially fun with all-new players, since you’ve got an opportunity to really learn and size up people before […]
