Talking About Stuff, with Mike and Christiana

If you head over to this link, CBS has got a bunch of movies up introducing the castaways from Survivor: Guatemala.

So, updated impressions...

First up, no mention whatsoever of the fact that three of the castaways are identical twins. Cindy is actually the only one who even mentions she has a twin, and she doesn't specify that her twin is identical. Will anything come of this? Again, I can't think what they would do with it, but I just can't imagine that it's coincidence.

So, my paranoid ravings aside...

The guys look a little better in motion then they did in those awful pictures on the main site. Still, there aren't any standouts from the male castaways that are as instantly appealing as Tom and Ian were last year. Judd could be fun, and Gary the NFL Quarterback will be one to watch because it looks like he's not planning to tell people about it. You know it'll come out anyway, so it might be interesting to see how that plays out.

For whatever reason, in past seasons I have generally found that my favorites were some of the men in the game, and I've not been quite as interested in the women. Stephanie from last season and Shii Ann from Survivor: All Stars are the most memorable female castaways that I can think of.

However, the most interesting of the current batch are the women. Brianna doesn't have a clip of her very own, but the bit of her in the first video, where she talks about selling wrinkle cream is pretty cool. Likewise, I think that Danni, Amy and Morgan all seem like they could do well and be fun to watch along the way.

So, what do you all think?

Note: Hannah in the comments for the last post mentioned she had heard a rumor that castaways from the last season might be coming back. The Entertainment Weekly rumor that I mentioned in the same post actually suggested that perhaps Stephanie and Bobby John would be showing up again, but I had assumed it was a joke. Maybe not.

The exact text was: "CBS previously announced that 18 people would compete in season 11, but the net has unveiled only 16. Rumor has it Palau's Bobby Jon and Stephanie will pop up - to extend their epic losing streak."

We'll just have to see, I guess.
