Wouldn't it be nice if Survivor lived up to it's name? For instance, they had competitions where they'd have to fight to the death? If those people started dying off, I might start watching the show. At least then I'd feel like the "survivor" actually earned that million dollars they win.

Welcome to the board.

There was supposed to be a longer post here, but I forgot.

Real surivor is pick an island drop 16 people with nothing put cameras all around the island and have them go on there own last one living wins.

Okay, I read the bios on the website . . . so I'll try to sum up the cast for you in a couple of sentences each:

Name: Coby Archa
Age: 32
Hometown: Athens, Texas
Occupation: Hairstylist
There's always a gay guy every year - this year is no exception.

Name: Ashlee Ashby
Age: 22
Hometown: Easley, S.C.
Occupation: Student
The Jesus freak who will disapprove of everything everyone else does - will be nicknamed "Ash Ash" by the end of the first episode.

Name: Gregg Carey
Age: 28
Hometown: Chicago
Occupation: Business Consultant
The jock. And as a former resident of Ashland, MA, the most likely O&A fan in the bunch.

Name: Bobby Jon Drinkard
Age: 27
Hometown: Santa Monica, Calif.; originally from Troy, Ala.
Occupation: Waiter
Besides having the single funniest name ever on Survivor, this is the guy the chicks will be swooning over . . . and so I already hate him.

Name: Katie Gallagher
Age: 29
Hometown: Merced, Calif.
Occupation: Advertising executive
"Gallagher describes herself as optimistic, spontaneous, sarcastic, full of opinions and hilarious." Anyone who describes themselves as hilarious is going to have problems with other people - guaranteed.

Name: Carolyn Grodel
Age: 46
Hometown: Solon Ohio; originally from Yonkers, N.Y.
Occupation: Civil-rights attorney
She served as Executive Director of the Women's Law Fund, and her law practice specializes in civil rights and employment discrimination law - thus then she will find everything the guys do to be disgusting and will be an all-around stick-in-the-mud (huddla huddla).

Name: Angie Jakusz
Age: 24
Hometown: New Orleans
Occupation: Bartender
The hippie chick - she has 11 tattoos and is an artist using "watercolors and found objects" (ugh).

Name: Jolanda Jones
Age: 39
Hometown: Houston
Occupation: Lawyer
The token tough female golfer.

Name: Stephenie LaGrossa
Age: 25
Hometown: Philadelphia
Occupation: Pharmaceutical sales rep
The athletic chick who was on 3 sports teams in high school, most likely due to being the only girl in a family of 4 brothers, her bio all but screams "tomboy".

Name: Jonathan Libby
Age: 23
Hometown: Dallas
Occupation: Sales and marketing
A martial-arts instructor and sushi chef, he also recently survived a case of testicular cancer . . . which should make for both cringe moments and awful inspirational speeches.

Name: Jennifer Lyon
Age: 32
Hometown: Encino, Calif.
Occupation: Nanny
Her bio is really non-descript . . . she seems to have done nothing interesting in her life . . . so she'll probably fade into the background and wind up making it to the final four just because nobody really even pays any attention to her.

Name: James Miller
Age: 33
Hometown: Mobile, Ala.
Occupation: Steel worker
This guy seems to have no idea what he wants to do . . . he joined the navy straight out of high school, studied computer information systems for a while, then biological science . . . and wound up as a steel worker.

Name: Kimberly Mullen
Age: 25
Hometown: Huber Heights, Ohio
Occupation: Graduate student
The eye candy - the Ohio entry in the 2002 Miss USA pageant, and a former model, she's just here for the guys to drool over. And drool we shall.

Name: Ibrehem Rahman
Age: 27
Hometown: Birmingham, Ala.
Occupation: Waiter
Waiter? I thought it was golfer . . . *dingdingding*. He's done some acting in the past, which might be helpful when convincing others that he's on their side.

Name: Ian Rosenberger
Age: 23
Hometown: Key Largo, Fla.; originally from Ambridge, Pa.
Occupation: Dolphin trainer
A dolphin trainer and dolphin-assisted therapist for children with disabilities, he's also the oddest-looking guy in the cast, with Ben's hair and Stalker Patti's teeth.

Name: Wanda Shirk
Age: 55
Hometown: Ulysses, Pa.
Occupation: English teacher
Imagine the worst, most humorless english teacher at your high school, and you've probably got a pretty good idea of what we're in for with this one.

Name: Willard Smith
Age: 57
Hometown: Bellevue, Wash.
Occupation: Lawyer
This year's Rudy clone. A Marine in Vietnam, he joined up again (the Army this time) a few years later, and served in the National Guard until 1992. His military training may help out tactically, but not physically, judging from his picture.

Name: Janu Tornell
Age: 39
Hometown: Las Vegas
Occupation: Showgirl
Don't let that occupation fool you, guys . . . her best days are well behind her. She represented Nevada at the Miss USA pageant . . . in 1989. Whatever has happened in the past 15 years, she now looks like an unconvincing tranny.

Name: Tom Westman
Age: 41
Hometown: Sayville, N.Y.
Occupation: Firefighter
Finally, we get back to the old reliable reality-tv staple of the guy from Long Island (there used to be one on every reality show, remember?). This NYC firefighter will surely have a few 9/11 stories to tell.

Name: Jeff Wilson
Age: 21
Hometown: Ventura, Calif.
Occupation: Personal trainer
Uh . . . who knows? I've really run out of things to say about these people. Their bios seem to be made up mostly of really boring shit . . . hopefully their personalities will make up for it.

This may be the first Survivor where nobody has the same first name, so we don't have to know them as "Joe K." and "Joe R."

Rosenberger is a tool. He went to my school and have friends that knew him, he's a douche.
