Survivor - China
 

The website is now up and the show premieres on September 20.

Notable cast member: WWE wrestler Ashley Messaro.

Greeks in the cast: Sherea is an AKA. Also, in the TV guide interview Jeff Probst mentions that Jaime is a sorority girl (she's at South Carolina) but doesn't say which one.

I'm already fearful as to what some of the 'fear factor-esque' eating challenges will be like.

Jaime Dugan is her full name if anyone wants to figure out which sorority she's in at University of South Carolina.

They have:
Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Delta Pi
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Zeta
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Zeta Tau Alpha

From what I can tell, she's not a DZ, KD, Tri Delt or ADPi.

Call me completely ignorant or lame but I couldn't help but notice that the school lunch lady, Denise, has a mullet. /random

ETA: Did I really just read that the guy Todd thinks the Spice Girls are the biggest historical thing in the world? Or something stupid like that? Jeezus.

She's not a ZTA.

Leslie is a host on the local radio station I listen to at work. She's not allowed to be back on the air until after the whole season airs.

Woa....that's a bit much. Is that coming from Survivor & CBS?

Yep. They can't do interviews, public media, etc until they air the episode where that person is kicked off. I'm sure the radio station is saying the whole season to cover themselves. Also, I think they can only do CERTAIN media outlets (aka CBS et al), where the producers can control what they are/aren't asked.

It strikes me as odd that there are 3 competitors that have ties to SC... it will be hard for me to pick a fave! I lived in Tega Cay for a time, the hubby's from Spartanburg (and I'll have to ask him about Dugan- the name sounds really familiar to me), and the Nashville musician was from Greenville, not too far from Greenwood, where I spent a good deal of time growing up.

Small world...I currently live in Tega Cay!

So is there a rule that Survivor has to film during the rainy season of every place they go? I swear, it would be a surprise not to have a torrential downpour!

Chicken's reaction to being voted off - best. ever.

After watching Kids Nation last night and this tonight, I had a rather odd thought:
Last night there were some kids asking more like adults and tonght some adults acting like kids.

I wish Chicken had stayed around for awhile.

Me too, I really liked him.

I LOVE James though. The gravedigger. He just seems like SUCH a likeable, genuine guy. :)
