On the first sight Brains and Beauty's tribes look to be the preferably choice in terms of finding favorites. Brawn at this stage... not so much.

Have to watch all the videos though to make a more thorough decision.

[Calderyon]

My short perceptions with mildly outrageus assumptions of the players:

Brice - Clearly un-straight. Seems rather camp and might be over-the-top. Black/Afro Colton?

Sarah - Rather blandish at first sight. A little Dopey too. Doesn´t strike as a winner.

Spencer - Seems like a very intelligent and a bright yound lad. Ready to make moves and play the game. Likes blindsides. Strikes as a cutthroat player. Strategic threat, maybe?

Morgan - Sweety pie. Cutish but a little skankinsh. Flirty tactics is her receipt of success, that is my guess.

Garrett - Seems a little cocky and bit too sure for himself. Might be intelligent and crafty though, albeit overbearing at times. Or then again, a dud for the making. Strategic and physical threat? Meaning an all-around threat?

Alexis - Kind of cute and aware of things, but then again maybe not. Not sure about her. Possible first one out?

J´tia - Pretty, smart, social and strategic. Deadly combination. Likable? Not sure yet. Strategic threat #3.
Hopefully not the ghetto type (aka Na Onka).

Jeremiah - Seems like an all around southern country boy type hardworking and honest type, who values trust above all.

Lindsey - Social, very competetive and supposedly strategic. Boy-girlish and bit of a mean type personality. A wildcard, maybe?

LJ - Alfa malish. Might be and tribe leader and advisor type? Talk kind of slowish, which might indicate a bit of a laziness and sleeper type too, perhaps? Strong physical threat #2.

Woo - A bit of a goofy type i presume. A likable joker like Fabio, maybe? Might be funny and laughworthy.

Tony - A fast talker and very alfamale typish. A little bit of a meathead. Comes across as arrogant and loose cannon (exploding, frustrated and angry type). Physical Threat #3.

Jefra - Country girl. Seems pretty and all that, but somehow comes across as a follower, not a leader.

Tasha - Very excited person. Seems like the type of person that can be very argumentative and have lots of rows.

Trish - Gritty older woman type. Mommy of the group, maybe?
Seems bossy and temperament too.

Kass - Somewhat unreadable, which might mean that she is a good liar and possibly a little untrustworthy (Which most of them are, to be fair). A watcher and observer of people. First out or in for the long haul -type meaning if she survives a few votes, she might go a long way.

David - Seems somewhat focused and thrived guy who has a goal. Comes of as atleast moderately intellingent and strategic. Strategic threat #4

Cliff - Big guy. Comes accross as a likable good guy with strong morals, good heart and a level head. Physical threat #4.

Predictions:

I will pick Spencer, J´tia and Lindsey as the possible candidates for final three. Jefra or Alexis might squeeze in too to replace one of them, as the easiest to beat in the end. Kass might be a candidate too for the finals.

Either Spencer or J´tia for a win prediction.

Likable people and strong guys will go after the merge as before and a few strategic players will bite the dust also.

Alexis as the first one to go out.

Garrett for a "surprise" blinside of the season.

Tony or Tasha will have an somewhat explosive and angry selfdestructive breakdown resulting in a vote out.

Showmance between LJ and Morgan seems plausible. Maybe Jefra and Jeremiah. Not seeing any other clear possibilities.

[Headie]

J'tia, Tasha, Lindsey, Alexis, Trish F5 plz

[reece(:]

F3 needs to be

Morgan (Can tell she's going to be a superbitch villain since Colton told production to let her on...)
J'Tia (Obviously smart and fierce)
Lindsey (The alternative one <3)

[SoberLikeGizmo]

Everyone hoping for an all girl alliance

First Impressions might change though, some of the guys might turn out better.

[Calderyon]

Not hoping for an all girl alliance. Not hoping for a all guy alliance either.

Breaking News: No more Dr. Ramona

Survivor reality TV show doctor, Ramona Salins, sets up shop at Braidwood
Date
January 25, 2014

Snake and sandfly-infested islands with back-stabbing people are no place for a princess.

That's what attracted Dr Ramona Salins to the American reality TV juggernaut Survivor.

She guided a team of medicos through the mud and mind games for 10 seasons.

Being no place for a princess was also the reason Dr Salins and her husband, Joe, left too, when their daughter Abbey-Rose, 2, grew into a pint-sized delight under an explosion of curls.

''Ever since having this little one, our life has had to calm down a bit,'' said Dr Salins, who has taken up as a part-time GP at Braidwood while the family takes a break from the rigours of reality TV. Dr Salins is determined to earn her stripes as a qualified rural GP and has chosen Braidwood, east of Canberra, because it is officially regarded as ''remote''.

The new doctor's arrival is a boon for the little community because it means there are now at least two GPs on any given day working out of the Braidwood Medical Centre. It's a perfect fit for Dr Salins because she can live and work part time at Braidwood and maintain a home and family in the Blue Mountains where her family is based.

Born in Penrith, Dr Salins had wanted to be a doctor since she was four. She's been an aid worker in Zimbabwe, Chile and the northern Himalayan mountains of India, accessible only by a three-day trek.

Survivor was the dream job for the 37-year-old with a thirst for adventure. ''The more you put yourself out there … the more things fall into your lap,'' Dr Salins said.

Her call came while working as a locum at Penrith. A friend said a team of doctors on Survivor was looking for another doctor. Six weeks later Dr Salins was in Fiji. Two seasons on, producers suggested she get a team of doctors together herself and take charge. She hand-picked them, looking for people like her.

''They can't be too prissy, they can't be people who just work in hospital environments, they have to be outdoorsy people and very flexible with hours.''

After 10 seasons handling emergencies, evacuating casualties, pulling head-strong injured contestants out of their million-dollar quest to win Survivor, she has stowed her satellite phone.

Months before challenges and tribal councils, Dr Salins would examine potential contestants in Los Angles, and again days before filming began. ''We check the girls aren't pregnant, that no one has an acute infection or injury that would deem them unable to compete.

''There are always some 'normal people'. There are a few extroverted, narcissist, argumentative people that they put in to fill those sort of roles and create havoc,'' Dr Salins said.

Psychologists remind contestants they are going to be watched by 20-million-plus people.

''You are being filmed 24 hours a day, so whatever you say and do, at the end of the day you have to be proud of, or live with, that you are going to see it back, your families are going to see it back, potential employees, so it's a big responsibility for the contestants.''

Dr Salins said host Jeff Probst was a charmer who showed no signs of wear and tear . ''You see how well he does at tribal council, that's not rehearsed, it's live. He's very good at getting contestants to say certain things, or probe them.''

Most of her work involved treating a crew of several hundred people who worked months ahead building sets. ''Last year we did six helicopter retrievals, plus a lot of road and boat retrievals,'' she said. ''I love emergency, that's my passion. But it's long hours and a lot of night shifts, so that's why I have decided to move to a GP.''

Even survivors need a break.

Rumoured bootlists have started

Spoiler:

One says Lindsey is first boot

[reece(:]

Youtube video

[SoberLikeGizmo]

Why is this starting so late this year? Is it because the winter Olympics?

[reece(:]

^ Possibly... the premier is 2 hours long, so I don't know if it's 2 back to back eps or not to make up for the late start, that's most likely though.

[SoberLikeGizmo]

The last few seasons opening episodes have always been 2 hours I thought?

BvW was 90 min.

[SoberLikeGizmo]

Ah okay, then maybe. So do you think there will be 2 tribal councils in first episode?

[reece(:]

I only think that because it's starting later than normal this year so maybe they are trying to finish at the normal date.

[Black Dagger]

Hope you're all ready for Mama Kass and Aunt Trish to slay.

[reece(:]

Apparently Morgan is Colton's friend and she's a bitchy villainess, I look forwards to that.

Not Lucas shading J'Tia and Tasha like that

[Black Dagger]

I've been a bit useless yet and not looked at any of the pre-show videos apart from Kass & Trish pmsl, will do that tomorrow!

But if Morgan is going to be a ******* and star of the series like you are hoping for, I suppose I can worship her too.

[reece(:]

I hope and pray she is <3 I need Abi-Maria 2.0

[Black Dagger]

Why does C-U-N-T add more stars in these days

[reece(:]

****

[reece(:]

Didn't for me

[Black Dagger]

How odd pmsl.

A 19th cast member has been leaked. They will be the first ever castaway to appear on all three tribes, because they ARE the definition of Brains, Brawn & Beauty (& Blazing Speed):
