Eliza, do you like the new cast of Survivor: Samoa? I really like Ashley, Kelly and Natalie. They are blonde beauties.

You all should be rooting for NEUROGODDESS on BB.
That's all. |

Is this because of their edits or because America really loves them more? I'm not sure of the answer to that, but it's all fun to ponder.One of the things I like about Survivor (besides the T N A) is that it's a GREAT social experiment. It breaks things down to basics and what you find is that men are mostly hunter gatherers, and leaders(Testosterone) and women are nurturing, care giving, communicators(Estrogen). We want a male to lead and a women to follow. Niether roll is complete with out the other and both have equal value, but it is unnatural for women to take the winning leadership spot. We are choosing a tribal leader and winner. Its basic stuff. The male is the physically stronger(confirmed with physics of muscle anatomy) and hence the leader. I'm not saying its right...But this is the way it is and has always been. You can't have 2 leadership rolls. We want the strong to survive!

Eliza,
Does CBS generate a bio for each contestant from your interviews, callbacks and LA finals or do they interview you before the show starts? |

The Samoa cast has 4 lawyers, definitely a record for Survivor. Attorney power!

Hi Guys,
I just tweeted about the new cast (twitter.com/eorlins), but I complied my tweets so you can see my thoughts! Twitter analysis of new cast: Contestant 1 - Ashley Trainer - I know her! She's a sweetheart, but I'm not sure if this little MN girl will get eaten alive on #Survivor. Contestant 2 - Ben - Doesn't like crybabies, but thinks he's a country boy (ala JT?). May not fare well as well as JT did on #Survivor. Contestant 3 - Betsy - True fan of #Survivor, been trying to get on for 6 years. Love her already. Seems like she could have what it takes - like Amy from Guatemala. Contestant 4 - Brett - Motto = "I only look sweet & innocent" - SO not that original. Cute & a flirt. Ladies will like him on #Survivor Contestant 5 - Dave - Believes in astrology. Ugh. Although like his spirit - lived in his van to avoid work he hated. Interesting. #Survivor Contestant 6 - Liz - Lawyer&NYC Girl! Excited to see what she does.Hope she's not Becky 2.0 but she claims to have a sharp tongue. #Survivor Contestant 7 - Erik - Womanizer, smart, articulate. Could be BIG trouble in the game of #Survivor. I like him a lot! He's engaging. Go Erik! Contestant 8 - Jaison - Another lawyer! YAY! Smart guy. Think he could end up being boring & play a UTR game, but I hope he's not! #Survivor Contestant 9 - John - 1st impression: arrogant, spoiled, pretty boy. Not a huge fan although he is cute. "Too pretty for radio" ew #Survivor Contestant 10 - Kelly - Gorgeous, captivating, & cute. I'm a big fan. Could do really well on #Survivor - she's like a blonde Parvati! Contestant 11 - Laura - She does nothing for me. Bored already. Hope she surprises me. Barely made it through her video. ::Yawn:: #Survivor Contestant 12 - Marisa - LOVE HER! She is SO interesting! She is someone I'd want as my friend, but may be an early target on #Survivor. Contestant 13 - Mick - Dr Mick Dreamy. Like him. Good looking, smart, & could be a huge threat on #Survivor, can't see him not making merge. Contestant 14 - Mike - Glad he's getting a chance to be on #Survivor after being pulled last season. Doubt he'll go far b/c of his age. Contestant 15 - Monica - Very pretty, smart, and another lawyer! Love that she played Pocahontas. She's cute and I'm a fan. #Survivor Contestant 16 -Natalie - Hellllooooo Barbie. She could definitely be underestimated on #Survivor b/c of the southern accent and her looks. Contestant 17 - Russell H - MY PRESEASON FAVORITE! Can't wait to see how the biggest villain plays! High expectations for him on #Survivor Contestant 18 - Russell S - 4th lawyer in the cast. Love that. Seems like a very nice guy, which doesn't always behoove you on #Survivor. Contestant 19 - Shannon - What a character! Can't help but like her! Hope she does well on #Survivor but may not fit in w/ the young cast. Contestant 20 - Yasmin - Not sure if she'll fare well on #Survivor. Would LOVE to see her sassy side come out; I hope she brings it. #Survivor Samoa looks good and I'm excited for it to start! Preseason faves: Russell H, Kelly, Shannon, Mick, & of course @asheetrain Oh and I like Erik and Betsy, too! I think this is a great cast! |

Hey Eliza! What's your take on the supposed "spoilers" for Survivor 20's boot list? Do you think they are true?

Eliza how do you know Ashley Trainer?? We've all seen the pics of her with numerous contestants.

From what I've gathered about Ashley, apparently she's gone to a lot of the finales and has gone to a bunch of the Survivor conventions, autograph
signings and the like and as a result has wound up being friends with a bunch of former Survivors. That probably didn't hurt her in trying to get on the
show since apparently she's a fan anyway. However, what I've been hearing could be WAY off though.

She's a sweetheart and I'm looking forward to seeing her on the show! I think knowing former Survivors had nothing to do with her getting on the show, though. She originally applied for Amazing Race, I believe. |

Thanks for that Eliza, I was just speculating (as opposed to trying to put words in anyone's mouth). But I'm hoping she does well.
Edit: Nevermind, for some stupid reason I misread "astrology" as something entirely different. I really need to get more sleep. My bad.

I actually edited the post because I made a complete sleep deprived mess up.

I'm sure James and Bob also received many votes from viewers who appreciate honesty and integrity. Those same voters probably forgave JT for his lies since they were mainly to Coach. |
