Does anyone else remember Lisa as a Mouseketeer? Usually wearing a green hat (under her mouse ears)?
Per usual there are pro sports player (players can legitimately vote-out someone named Jeff!) and former Miss USA contestant (Katie, from the under-placing state of Delaware).
Still looking at contestant videos....

I get it - this year's theme is "Redemption from Premature Evacuation". Former Castaways who had to leave the show due to medical reasons are now permitted a 2nd kick at the can (yeah, this is Jonathon's 3rd time at it)
I had to google who Russell Swan was. The show would be better if they had "Miss Swan" on it instead.

SRSLY. If I was (hypothetically) on Survivor, I'd be wearing gear what you might use for hiking or trail running - trail shoes, dry-fit gear, wool socks, that kind of thing + bathing suit. Some people have no sense for the outdoors, I tell you.

I can pretty much guarantee you that the producers have her dressed that way. Every season the producers have at least one person go out onto the island in business attire. (Matt went in French cuffs last season.) Sometimes, the outfits are even color-coordinated among contestants.

You don't notice it until they're together on the mats, but yes, they are all usually wearing their tribe color in some way.

Just speculation, but with this show/game it's fun (and I promise I have not read any spoiler boards):
CBS wants Jonathan to win so he'll be with the youngest tribe (Matsing) and work with the youngest woman (age 20) Angie from Utah, the Mormon state whose contestants consistently make top four. Coach returned and almost won with the young (22) Sophie; Rob Mariano returned and nearly won with a young-ish Amber (25) then Rob won with the young (19) Natalie Tennerelli.
Russell by elimination goes with Kalabaw tribe (only tribe without listed African-American member). Leaving Skupin with Tandang and Bible-Buddy Lisa.
Agree on CBS-dictated clothing/color schemes; never noticed until Samoa when contestants clothing so wonderfully color-coordinated it drew-out beauty of their surroundings . In Samoa Natalie (winner) wore her yellow dress everywhere; each successive season had a yellow-outfitted woman. Photos this season show yellow on a man (Artis) .

When I searched for a list of contestants, I found this link which lists the tribes in full. So if you want it to be a surprise, don't visit this link: http://www.cinemablend.com/televisio...nts-45941.html

People kept calling me on the phone so I missed everything up until Tribal Council. Ugh. I did notice some color coordination at TC though.
