Story:

CBS has announced the identities of the 16 castaways who will be competing in Survivor: Tocantins -- The Brazilian Highlands, the eighteenth Survivor edition that will premiere on Thursday, February 12 at 8PM ET/PT.

Survivor: Tocantins' castaways -- eight men and eight women -- range in age between 19 to 53 and include a multimillionaire, a cattle rancher, a U.S. Army sergeant, the wife of a former NFL player, and not one or two but three female models, according to TV Guide Magazine, which revealed the cast in its January 19 issue.

In addition, Survivor: Tocantins -- which became the first Survivor edition to allow Under-21 applicants to apply for the show when CBS lowered the show's minimum age requirement from 21- to 18-years-old last spring -- will also include a 19-year-old college student who will be the youngest castaway in Survivor history.

It's one of my favorite shows, but I think it needs some changes to keep it interesting. Has anyone else noticed that a "personality type(s)" are causing the game to become somewhat predictable?

Which personality type are you referring to?

My pre-picks:

Sandy, Sydney, Jerry, Erinn

Snady & Jerry because I like to cheer for the older contestants.
Sydney - Because she's from San Diego
Erinn - Because she's from Wisconsin which is near Minnesota!

[I'mHis]

Yeah I'm ready for it to start too! I love Survivor.

 

[GodrockDJ]

I'm going to have to DVR this, I have class on Thursday nights.

I'm going to have to DVR this, I have class on Thursday nights.

We have our home fellowship group Thursday nights, and normally come home and watch Hell's Kitchen. Now that'll have to wait, so we can watch Survivor when we get home.

 

[CelticGrace]

DH is working Thursday night so we'll have to DVR Survivor and HK. Our DVR list is so confusing once Survivor starts LOL

 

[MN John]

I'm in class Thursday nights too... but can be home in time to catch the DVR partway through! All the better for skipping commercials and still seeing the finish in real time!

 

[Blue Rose2]

YEHAW!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for this...looks like it is going to be a great season.

 

[snoochface]

Tonight's the night!

 

[sheriefx]

Ready!

I'm going to enjoy this season I think. Sandy alone, if she sticks around, is going to make it worth watching. "What's a pace? I'm not giving up until I figure out what a pace is!" She's "a little crazy", yeah Jeff.

Coach is so pretentious. I don't think he's going to last as long as he thinks he will.
