I cannot wait!!!! September 17th can't come soon enough!

Oh, and next season is the 10th anniversary of Survivor. Can't believe it's already been ten years and.........

Spoiler

Next season is another All Stars edition to celebrate the 10th Anniversary!! I already know some of the castmembers too, since they filmed Samoa and season 20 back to back.

 

[Marx]

Yeah...it definitely doesn't seem like its been 10 years.

 

[Sawyer]

I dont really make it a point to watch Survivor, but its one of the few reality shows (and shows on CBS) that I can watch without vomiting because of its awfulness.

The next All-Star edition cast list was pretty much spoiled by Coby Archa back in July when he gave the list of 23 participants (likely 20 contestants and 3 alternates)

Spoiler

Survivor Australia: Jerri Manthey and Tina Wesson
Survivor Africa: Tom Buchanan
Survivor Amazon: Jenna Morasca
Survivor Pearl Islands: Rupert, Johnny Fairplay, and Sandra
Survivor Vanuatu: Twila Tanner
Survivor Palau: Stephenie LaGrossa and Tom Westman
Survivor Panama: Cirie Fields and Shane Powers
Survivor Cook Islands: Ozzy Lusth and Parvati Shallow
Survivor China: Jean-Robert Bellande, James Clement, and Amanda
Survivor Micronesia: Natalie Bolton
Survivor Gabon: Randy Bailey, Ace Gordon, and “Sugar”
Survivor Tocantins: Sierra Reed and Benjamin “Coach” Wade

That looks like a pretty good lineup. Has anyone seen a cast listing for Samoa?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Spoiler

I'd rather see Jenna Morasca in this environment then in a wrestling ring.

 

[Sawyer]

Spoiler

I cant see Jenna doing this considering what Ethan from Survivor Africa, who is also her boyfriend, is going through right now.

I could be wrong though.

 

[SuperT]

To me Survivor, along with The Amazing Race although I don't really watch it anymore, are the only two competitive reality shows around that have stayed true to their core guidelines and such, tweaking them of course here and there to keep the show refresh.

They've never stooped down to trashy or stunt casting (although an exception could have probably been made for Survivor Cook Island when they divided the tribes up by races) and both shows are still fun to watch.

As for my spoiler, beware don't read if you don't want to know anything about Season 20....

Spoiler

I'm more pumped about Season 20 being All Stars 2 than I am about Samoa, although I can't wait for Samoa to start. They filmed it two weeks after Samoa ended, although it's staying in the Samoa, I'm assuming the cast will make up for that.

Here's the rumored All Stars returning, keep in mind this is only a rumored list:

Women
Stephanie LaGrossa - Survivor Palau & Guatemala
Sandra Diaz Twine - Winner of Survivor Pearl Islands
Jerri Manthey - Survivor Australia & All Stars 1
Courtney Yates - Survivor China
Amanda Kimmel - Survivor China & Micronesia (WHY?!?!)
Jessica "Sugar" Kiper - Survivor Gabon
Natalie Bolton - Survivor Micronesia
Danielle DiLorenzo - Survivor Exile Island
Parvati Shallow - Survivor Cook Islands, Winner of Survivor Micronesia
Candice Woodcook - Survivor Cook Islands
Tina Wesson - Survivor The Australian Outback (Possible, she's been missing)
Cirie Fields - Survivor Exile Island & Micronesia (Possible, she's been missing)
Taj Johnson-George - Survivor Tocantins (Possible, she's been missing)
Jenna Morasca - Winner of Survivor The Amazon ((Possible, she's been missing)

Men
Rob "Boston Rob" Mariano - Survivor Marquesas & All Stars 1
Rupert Bonham - Survivor Pearl Islands & All Stars 1 (UGH!!!)
Tom Westman - Winner of Survivor Palau
Randy Bailey - Survivor Gabon (V O M I T)
James Clement - Survivor China & Micronesia
Colby Donaldson - Survivor The Australian Outback & All Stars 1
Ben "Coach" Wade - Survivor Tocantins (VOMIT x 100000000)
Tyson Apostal - Survivor Tocantins
Tom "Big Tom" Buchanan - Survivor Africa & All Stars
James "JT" Thomas - Winner of Survivor Tocantins
Gervase Peterson - Survivor Borneo
Kenny Hoang - Survivor Gabon

Of course this isn't the entire cast, but all of the people that have I listed have all mysteriously disappeared from the face of society as of August 1st.

Marx, CBS posted that the Samoa cast is due out some day this week.

And to correct some people on Philly's list:

Spoiler

Johnny, Twila, Shane, Ozzy, Jean-Robert, Ace, and Sierra are confirmed to not be on. They've all been seen in public during filming.

Good to know, Super.

 

[SuperT]

Word is that the Samoa cast is being revealed tomorrow morning, which means that it may leak out some time late tonight.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

I've always found True Dork Times to be a great "spoiler" site for Survivor.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

Haven't watched the show in years, but I do remember (from following spoilers and what not) the Spring seasons always filmed during November-December. Looks like the forthcoming 20th edition is shooting right now though. Weird.

Wonder if they're going to call it a day with the series after that.

 

[Marx]

I think Probst said he is done at 25.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

Spoiler

I'll be the dick and admit that I laughed my ass off at a number of the All-Star Part III candidates. Some of these people will have played the game three times now. Will they just eat a bullet when Survivor (eventually) ends and no other "reality" shows will take em?

Cast announcements!

(And there is one from Cincy! )

 

[Marx]

...I don't understand why there are TEN castaways from California though. That seems like a bit of overkill.

 

[SuperT]

The Tribes are:

Galu - Brett, Dave, Erik, John, Kelly, Laura, Monica, Russell S., Shannon, Yasmin

Foa Foa - Ashley, Ben, Betsy, Elizabeth, Jaison, Marisa, Mick, Mike, Natalie, Russell H.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Jeff said there are a couple of evacuations again this season.

At the beginning of the game, like in Samoan culture, each tribe will have to choose a leader. He didn't say what advantage being the leader has s. I guess we'll see.

 

[Marx]

The preview says something about 'size does matter'. I wonder what that means...

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

"Biggest Survivor villain ever?"

I've noticed they tend to over-sell the crappier seasons while they let the truly great ones speak for themselves.
