Both teams have exactly 5 women and 5 men. Rumors are floating about 2 people being removed due to evacuations but I'm not going to look into it any further. Some things I need to be a surprise and medical emergencies are definitely one of the highlights of the show.
The first thing standing out to me is the ages of the contestants. It's nice to see a good variety. At least the average age isn't 24.
Ok who's getting excited now? I know I am!
While I do love Big Brother, I am a true Survivor fan so hell ya, I'm excited! My family teases me all the time because they know not to call me when either are on, I even got my 17 yr old kinda hooked. By the way she loves your blogs too, she always knows when I'm reading it cuz I'm cracking up so I'll share the funny part with her and we both laugh. So glad your blogging on Survivor!
ReplyDeleteI love both BB and survivor ....we always get into the habit of saying .. "the Tribe has spoken" as in Kids time for bed .. the tribe has spoken ..LOL
ReplyDeleteThat being said I LOVE YOU BLOGS !!! I am bitchy too ( or so I have been told a little to often )
Wow, people in their 40s (and above). Hallelujah !
ReplyDeleteOk so could any more of these contestants be from Los Angeles???? You can't tell me they didn't receive more apps from other city/states! Thousands I'm sure apply to get on and yet out of the 20, 7 are from L.A. alone, with a total of 10 being from California all together. Now I live in San Diego, CA (Go Monica!) myself, but I just find that ridiculous!!!
ReplyDeleteok they have a cook for creative rice and fish meals, and a doctor to tend to their owies and broken asses, and 2 hairstylists to do their hair before evictions (oh wait no hairdryers or scissors) sounds fun....
