Survivor 14
 

Hey, did y'all know that Survivor's starting in 2 days?!

We didn't either until we saw the Super Bowl.

Yay!

Sticking with my usual strategy, I will be pre-rooting for whichever female contestant looks the most attractive in their headshots on the CBS website (at least until the show comes on and I decide that someone else is more attractive). Go Jessica!

Wow, thanks for posting this. I wouldn't have known otherwise. And, miracle of all miracles, I just happen to be free on Thursday evening. I might actually see a season opener for once!

yup- all set.

My tv schedule is getting full- AI, Survivor, CSI, Grey's Anatomy, ANTM coming up- and the Amazing Race All Stars!

I read through the bios, and no one stood out to me. No Stanford people this time around.

Lots of people from California though. That's kind of annoying. Not much geographic diversity.

Nickolas was alllllll excited when he saw the CBS spots. He loves Survivor and TAR. It is something he can really get into and at the same time something that I enjoy. We always make it a big deal. In past years didn't it premier right after the Superbowl or am I cornfussed?

Born in Miami, Florida, Lisette "Lisi" Linares lived on again and off again in New York City, taking college courses at New York University Film School before moving to Los Angeles. She currently works as a customer service representative for a psychic service company. She has previously worked as a reservationist and paralegal.



I am amused...

They did that once. But the Super Bowl isn't on CBS every year so the opportunity isn't always there. Plus, I'm assuming the ratings weren't all that good for the year they did do it because they haven't it since (I believe CBS has had the Super Bowl twice since they did the right-after-the-game premier).

At least one of them (Go Jessica!) is a transplant, having grown up and gone to school in New Orleans, only moving to LA recently.

ETA: Ah, I see Mousey Girl spotted another transplant.

I will have to first root for the LARP geek, who will probably get booted in the first episode. Then I will root for the school bus driver, who will probably be the second off. Hopefully my third choice, the chick marine, will last longer.

At least the group isn't full of overly beautiful people, and somewhat reflects a more "natural" view of humanity.

I'm going out on a limb and saying that Alex or Mookie will take it*.

*this opinion subject to change without notice. Funny though, if my first impression were to turn out to be accurate.
