So, the new Survivor premieres tonight at 8pm on CBS….I thought I’d check out the website and see the new cast.  Anyone how has been to the official Survivor site will find that it’s tedious and cumbersome to see the cast’s individual videos–I had to watch the same few ads over and over again each time I clicked on a new cast member–ugh!

Long story short–I did it so you wouldn’t have to….and here’s what I found out:

James (the gravedigger) and Amanda from last season are both back.  They both think this season is gonna be cake compared to China because they’re on a beach with an abundance of food sources–ripened fruit, coconuts, and easy to catch crabs.  James said he’s always liked going to the beach anyway, but his main concern: the “serious strategizers” since he’s now playing against the best of the best.  He said he’s going to have to try to be more social because he’s not the only muscular/athletic one in the group, saying, “Ozzy’s athletic so it takes my gimic away from me”.

Amanda wants to align with James but currently thinks he’s mad at her–unknown beknowst to her, James is glad Amanda is there–she thinks it is important that they stick together because they know so much about each other.  She thinks she hurt too many feelings in China and doesn’t want to do that again. 

Ozzy, got 2nd place last time around at Cook Island, and said it left a bitter taste even though it was quite a feat to get that far.  He thinks James is going to be the hardest to beat because of how well built and athletic he is; so, he also wants to build relationships as fast as possible.  Ozzy’s part of a 3some returning from his season (Ozzy, Jonathan, & Parvati)…Jonathan says there’s bad blood between him and Parvati and there’s going to be trust issues between them; nevertheless he’s determined to befriend her and start an alliance.  Ozzy also thinks it would be wise to use their 3some to their advantage, but he voted Parvati out last time around and Parvati hasn’t forgotten this.

Parvati, who says she’s more cynical and less trusting now and knew she could come back and win this time, has no intentions of aligning with Jonathan or Ozzy.  She’s glad they are there because she knows them well and knows how to work them.
