CBS thinks all the viewers don't have the internet because they haven't revealed Boston Rob and Russell are back.

From the EW brief bio's, about half of the players mention Russell is their most hated player of all-time, lol.

When it leaked out Russell was coming back, I thought it was too soon since that would make it 3 out of the 4 past seasons with him in the cast. After watching last season, Russell couldn't come soon enough. I'm interested to see how he does since the cast watched him play unlike All Stars 2. I know it's being speculated that Boston Rob and Russell can't be voted out until the merge, I hope this isn't true since it gives them a big advantage.

As for the new cast, it looks the eye candy is very sub-par and they casted Fabio's brother.

Last season was terrible, I gave up on it 4-5 episodes into the season, first season I didn't watch. Based on the fact that Rob and Russell are back again, I still don't think I'll watch. I loved Russell's first season, found him annoying season 2, and just don't are to see him again.

Sub-par eye candy? You are nuts Van. This cast is pretty stacked with hotties.

I'm with EG, still too soon for another season with Russell for me. I definitely tune in because it's one of my favorite shows. I just hope the other cast members besides the main two get some camera time.

I like Natalie and Stephanie. Plus, Stephanie is a local from Long Beach, so thats kind of cool.

This show's been on for 22 years?! Feels like 50. #enoughalready

Re: *** Survivor: Redemption Island (Season 22) ***

It hasnt been on for 22 years considering they have atleast 2 seasons per calander year so at the most its been on for 10-11 years.

Not to mention, if you dont like the show then move along, no real reason to post in here in the first place.

EDIT- May 31, 2000 was the very first episode so it hasnt been on for a full 11 years as of yet.

After watching the video's, I change my mind. The ladies are more attractive this season that last season.


I find Natalie, Ashley, and Andrea cute/attractive. Russell's first season still holds the record of most attractive cast though.

I figured thats what happened. Rookie movie. You should know by now Survivor has the worst still photographer on the planet.

I'd throw Krista and Stephanie in there as good looking too. Especially Stephanie I'd rank her #1 going in.

Though I gotta say when I first saw the big promo pic of the whole cast I thought Krista was a beat up old chick trying to look young.

Andrea, Ashley, Krista, Natalie and Stephanie

David is a giant douche.

Two former NFL players in one season? Plus a guy who "could have" played at an Ivy League? Hmm.

Don't like Kristina already.

Natalie like she's seems in over her head.

Phillip = the next Coach?

I still enjoy the show.
Even a weak season of Survivor is better than other reality TV.

I agree. Survivor and Big Brother are my two favorite Reality Shows.

I don't remember watching either of the NFL guys but, Grant looks like the bastard son of Randy Couture.

Normally I do too. But there is a nasty rumor out there that Rob and Russell will be immune until the merge. If that happens I can see this being the first season I don't finish.

Hopefully that rumor isn't true. You would think that if they were to bring anyone back it would be people that have actually won the game. I like Russell and Boston Rob but enough's enough.

Dalton Ross crushes that rumor....
