Survivor: South Pacific (Survivor Season 23)
The cast has been announced! One of the contestants will be Brandon Hantz -- Russell's nephew. Two past contestants will be returning, but CBS hasn't announced who yet. (Word on the iStreet is that it's Coach and Ozzy.)
Season Premiere is September 14.

I didn't really like Coach. He seemed a little weird at times with some of the things he did. I also kind of liked Russell. I mean, he definitely could have been less devious, but he had the right mindset: the name of the game is to win the prize, not make friends.
Big fan! Can't wait for it!

Elyse Umemoto was the Miss Washington in the Miss America pageant (2nd runner up!) a few years back that so many of us on GG liked.
Generally, an older cast, which I like. But the oldest contestant is 51.

I immediately adore Cochran.
And Russell's nephew (but I've always been Team Russell!)

A little crazy?! (Of course, compared with Secret Agent Underpants . . . .)

Right, bu you screw yourself if you make enemies the way he did. His failure to understand the social aspect of the game -- that part of a good strategy lies in how you relate to others -- is why he never won the prize.
I truly hope his nephew is more bearable than he is.

Rick looks like he's going to be a trip. I hope he ends up on Coach's team.

Bumping to remind everyone that tonight's the premiere! Yay!
This episode runs 90 minutes, so be sure to keep that in mind if you DVR it.

Yes, but....THE HAIR! THE HAIR! Which producer let that go by? Looks TERRIBLE on him, and I'm usually ok with longer hair on guys.

I'm kind of confused by Cochran. I WANT to like him (he kinda reminds me of Anthony Rapp), but for as much of a superfan as he is, he's pretty clueless. Was he planning on swimming (or bathing for that matter) the whole time? Did he really think that he wasn't going to be seen as weak?
Also, I know that most of the time there are at least a few people inappropriately dressed for the wilderness, but there seemed to be an over abundance this season. Obviously the producers have some say in what they wear, because they were all pretty much wearing team colors, but why would you even bring some of that stuff as an option? The only thing I can think of is the producers requiring them to bring some dress clothes. Even then, though, I think I would be shopping the Chico's Traveler's Collection.

And layers. I would wear layers. My understanding is that they don't know exactly when they are going to the island so I would dress "ready" every day. There would be shorts on under my skirt. A tank top on under my blouse, etc.

Yes! And a bathing suit over or under my underwear.
There's got to be a way to play smart, but not break the rules.
It does seem like they get at least one change of clothes, because they don't always appear to be wearing the same thing.

The hair is AWESOME. It looks much better long than it did in the so-not-Ozzy short cut for Fans v Favorites. I prefer it long.

I still really like him, though. I'm glad he didn't get the boot last night. I think he's a serious student of the game, but maybe a little naive.

I think the producers dressed them this time and they didn't have much choice.
Meanwhile, my main thoughts from last:
- Brandon really thinks he can go the entire time without taking off his tee-shirt and letting people see his tattoos? Really?!
- Despite the previous bullet point, Brandon won't make it a week without telling someone that he's Russell's nephew. He just won't be able to hold it in. (And judging from the previews for next week, I'm right about that.)
- If anyone was casting the movie version of Survivor: South Pacific, Amy Sedaris would be perfect as Dawn.
- What is it with the jobs this season? Spoken Word Artist? Baseball/Dating Coach? Medical Marijuana Dispenser? Lingerie Football Player? When Jeff snuffed Semhar's torch, I really wanted him to say "Spoken Word Artist Semhar, the tribe has spoken."
