Was your list of 18 people an actual cast list or was it a list of contestants that were on the flight to Samoa? If it were just a list of people that were on the flight then your list could include alternates. Some of the contestants on the list are nebulous as to whether they fill a hero or a villain role (eg. Candice). If your list can include alternates (assuming one male alternate and one female alternate) then the alternates would be selected so that they could fill either a hero or a villain role since they could replace someone on either tribe. There was a spoiler on the CBS Survivor website that Ken Hoang was spotted on the flight to Samoa. Ken is someone that I could see being selected as an alternate.
