[SlowRevolution]

Erik no longer being "Ice Cream Scooper" is so disappointing. At least his hair is still hilarious.

Eddie looks just like Ian from BB.

 

[Artadius]

So tired of the Hantz family at this point. Please make CBS stop.

 

[789shadow]

Cast is up.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

A lot of attractive women this season.

 

[789shadow]

They will never stop. Bow to your Hantz overlords.

 

[KibblesBits]

Holy Crap at that returning cast.
Holy Crap. It's going to be crazy on that island.

Brandon Hantz and Phillip Shephard on the same tribe?

SUPERNOVA EXPLOSION.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Ohhhhh that isn't the Erik I was thinking of. I was thinking of the guy from Russell's first season that got voted out

 

[Dinosur]

Would root for Brenda but she's either going to fake showmance with Malcom and get them both kicked off in their first tribals or Brandon is going to push her out because god doesn't want him to rape her.

And requisite captain obvious post to get it out of the way: Boy, CBS sure stretched the definition of "favorite" with some of those picks.

Well, that's what happens when you hop on the returning players train: no one else can shine.

 

[The Illiterati]

Matt

Micheal

Hairiest cast member ever, with the least hairiest ever. Looks like one of those magnetic games before and after.

 

[whitehawk]

Can't wait. Some great players are coming back.

 

[Effnine]

Ughhhhh ..... wrong Hantz. Really hope he tones down the Jesus stuff this time ... unless he's just gonna provide the crazy again.

 

[Sulla1980]

Malcolm is back?

Okay, sounds good.

 

[oatmeal]

Really excited for this.

Fucking HOPE is hot as fuuuuark.

 

[LightofRohan]

Sweet. I hate Brandon, he aint no "favorite". Does this mean we get another Jesus loving season?

 

[ErasureAcer]

Always thought Corinne was hot...plus the fans' ladies...so much better than last season's women.

 

[Jayhawk]

A lot of attractive newbies this season. I just hope the sheer amount of crazies on the "favorites" side is entertaining and not overwhelming.

 

[lazybones18]

*prays to God*

Lord, please let this be the last time a Hantz is on a CBS reality tv show.....

and let Corinne win

Amen

 

[789shadow]

By the way, I love Malcolm's picture:

His look just screams "The fuck am I back out here for?"

 

[gotoadgo]

Brenda's back
/drool

Also praying(lol)that Brandon tones down the Jesus stuff, the bible tribe from his season was so damn annoying.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Can't wait. Some great players are coming back.

Such as...? I'll give you Dawn, maybe, but none of the favourites were very good at the game. I don't remember the first FvF that well, but I'm pretty sure it had at least a few people who were known for strong gameplay, rather than being crazy.

 

[Macka]

The returnees are okay I guess. I mean, I don't like Phillip/Brandon/Cochran, but I've been resigned to the fact that they'd come back eventually, so it's good that we can get them all out of the way in one season. Francesca is a horrible choice though. No first boot, regardless of the circumstances of their boot, deserves to come back.

Lots of hotties on the fans side, and then we have Brenda/Andrea/Corinne to drool over as well

In terms of gameplay, Malcolm/Brenda/Andrea should deliver. Corinne too I guess.

Excited!

 

[SecretMoblin]

Ready to do this all over again.

Still against the concept of returning players in non- all-stars seasons, but I'll deal.


...........and #TeamBrenda, of course. Hopefully Brandon and Phillip are early boots just so that we don't have to put up with 50% of the show being dedicated to them.

 

[Jangocube]

Phillip, Malcolm, and Brandon should make this season interesting.

Hopefully Phillip and Brandon are still batshit crazy.

 

[BowieZ]

Eddie

Why hello there.

 

[bodyboarder]

That was quick, seemed like the last one didn't end that long ago.

 

[saunderez]

Yay Andrea! Looks like a very entertaining cast, should be a good season if they keep the Jesus stuff out of it.

 

[BJK]

Survivor: Fans vs. Also-Rans

Spoiler

EDIT: and Malcolm

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Holy shit at Matt's beard.

 

[Hours Left]

The male eye candy is so disappointing. (Reynold might be okay.)

And the male "favorites" are actually horrifying.

 

[BowieZ]

Look forward to one or more of Laura/Allie/Hope being complete throwaways!

Both Eddie and Reynold are pretty sexy in all video footage I've watched!

and I have watched closely...

Cast bios up in just a bit.

Brenda, Survivor: Nicaragua (Should have scrambled)

Cochran, Survivor: South Pacific (Gumby from GAF)

Phillip, Survivor: Redemption Island (Former Federal Agent?)

Malcolm, Survivor: Philippines (Gets to lose Survivor back to back)

Looking forward to it!

 

[UberTag]

COMMENTS FAMOUSLY UTTERED BY GUMBY ON GAF BEFORE APPEARING ON SURVIVOR

 

[789shadow]

We need Gumby to come back and be a fixture of SurvivorGAF.

 

[UberTag]

We need Gumby to come back and be a fixture of SurvivorGAF.

If it didn't happen after his first appearance, it certainly won't happen now.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Thank God there are no super-geezers.

 

[EloquentM]

Didn't watch last season but man, it's gonna be hard not to watch this season

 

[Brian Fellows]

Thank God there are no super-geezers.

I was hoping Rudy was coming back again!

 

[Mikey Jr.]

I was hoping Rudy was coming back again!

Christ, Rudy was old when he was on that show 20 years ago.

There is no way in hell he isn't on life support now.

 

[789shadow]

There is no way in hell he isn't on life support now.

He's probably in better shape than most of us and could probably whoop the ass of any person on this season, lol.

 

[UberTag]

Rudy Boesch is still alive and kicking at age 85. His wife, Marge, died about 4 1/2 years ago.

I believe Survivor Palau's Jennifer Lyon (who finished 4th) is still the only former Survivor castaway to pass away.

 

[whitehawk]

Y'know, I've actually never watched Season 1 of survivor. I was about 8 years old at the time and I didn't know about Survivor. My mom and brother got really into it so me and my dad joined in on season 2 and I've been hooked ever since.

I think I'll have to pick up the DVD soon. It's going to be interesting watching it, the players had never seen a season before to know how to play the game.

 

[Incendiary]

I think that Francesca is a favorite, as well as Malcolm who was on this before last season even aired, telling you everything you need to know about this season.

It's a little unsettling watching older seasons compared to new ones with how little Probst commentary there seems to be during challenges and at tribal council.
There's so little of Jeff in Season 1 you'd almost think Richard Hatch was hosting the show.

I want to say this changed sometime around Season 5 or 6. And he's only gotten more entrenched in the gameplay ever since.

To the game's detriment IMO.

 

[BowieZ]

Francesca is indeed questionable, but I'm not sure your point stands... this season is basically "recent memorable players since the last Fans vs. Favorites that doesn't double up on people who haven't returned already since then (eg. in Heroes vs. Villains)".

That was the idea -- the same idea really as the original FvF. Some A-tier 'competitive' players, and a couple of controversial ones.

Malcolm is coming straight back like Russell, from Samoa to HvV (filming immediately afterward), and also like like Amanda and James came back a few months after China to their role in the original FvF.

My point is, based on the range of options, the contestants are pretty good. And I'm sure they're saving a few winners etc for Season 30.

 

[Fjord]

So Cochrane actually was active on GAF? Tell me more about him, search isn't much good.
