About Us

Ace is an interesting guy, he's going to be a big character no matter whether he lasts 3 days or all 39 because he's got a look, he has an accent, he has an air about him that can be extremely annoying. I think that he might try to get off to a big start and at some point, people might say, I don't know if he knows all that he is claiming to know.

Charlie is a fun guy, I like Charlie, he's got a great energy about him, he's excited to be on the show and typically those guys have been very good for Survivor because they know the game and they want to play the game. I think Charlie is going to be a guy that actually plays this game, will try to form alliances, will probably turn on those alliances when the time is right that's why he's on the show. We expect that from him. Charlie could go far.

Corinne is the resident bitch and she'll tell you how she is feeling and there is no doubt to how she is feeling. Corinne is going to need an alliance, because Corinne is the type of person if she is not with a group, she will not be liked enough to be around.

Crystal Cox is an interesting story. She is an Olympic athlete, she's a medal winner, the woman has moves, strength and agility. How much of that will apply to Survivor, I don't know and how much of it will she show. I think the big question for Crystal is how much of her past to reveal and how people will react.

Gillian, this is the homecoming for Gillian, she's from South Africa. So after all the years of applying Gillian was so excited when she finally made the show and found out that it was Africa. The obvious thing Gillian has going against her is what anybody who is the older person on a season has, is the older person and suddenly people are looking for a reason someone to vote out, how about the old woman.

GC is a darkhorse for me, I don't know he's very quiet but very athletic, If GC faded into the wood work, it would not surprised me, and if GC faded into a nice alliance and lasted a long time, it wouldn't surprise me.

If Dan Kay lasts through half the game, I will be surprised. He appears to have everything going for him, he's a good looking guy, he seems to say all the right thing, but the more I watch him and the more I pay attention, I kinda scratch my head at some of the things he is doing. I would not want him to be my leader.

Jacque is somebody that we are rooting for, we were on the fence with Jacque, is she going to fade in the wood work or is she going to come strong? So far, she's coming strong. We're hoping that lasts. She's althletic, she's attractive, her big question is going to alliance does she make and is it the right one.

Jessica Kiper is going to go by the name Sugar and her big strategy was to lie and not tell anyone that she is an actor and instead tell everyone she is a pin up girl. But what Sugar does have going for her, is she is very likeable. She has a little bit of an underdog in her, and if she pairs up with the right person who might relate to that underdog, that might be an alliance that would be very strong.

Kelly is one of our young hot girls this season. Fortunately, she loves being young and hot. She likes to show that she is young and hot and talk about being young and hot. Kelly's best advice is to be in the middle of a good alliance and hang on to dear life.

Kenny the gamer is the wild card of the season. When our casting director first brought Kenny in, I literally put my hand on her forehead to see if she has a temperature. This guy doesn't weight more than my leg but I'll tell you, Kenny has surprised in the first few days. I liike Kenny a lot, I would list him as one of my favorites.

Marcus the doctor, obviously Marcus is an incredibly accomplished guy. I'm not sure if Marcus socially can play this game. I'm not sure if Marcus can lie, or be seen in a bad light. That will kill you in this game.

Michelle, I'm rooting for Michelle because I think it's going to be tough on her. Michelle seems to be the kind of person who is going to need people to bring her into their group. I don't know if she is good going out and making her own group. And when somebody brings you in to their group, you're at the bottom. She is going to have to step up and take some big chances.

Susie is a mom and she is a talker. Susie whole game is going to be based on if she gets the right alliances because I don't think on her own, she will know what to do out there. Her biggest obstacle will be her mouth, she talks and talks. So if Susie can learn when to talk and not to talk and she can find the right people to align with, she can go deep in this game, if she can't find a good alliance, she would go out just by being annoying.

Paloma is somebody I am definitely on the fence about. I saw her in casting, she's great, I see her right before the show, not so sure. This show can be so overwhelming especially for a young person who doesn't have a big life experiences even though Paloma has done alot in her life, she hasn't done something like Survivor.

Randy, never had anybody like Randy before, never. The guy is funny, has a big mouth, talks all the time, I hope that he talks all the time because it is funny as hell. But Randy can irritate people, I mean he annoyed me in casting and I like him. Do I want to be in a camping trip with him for 39 days? Hell no. Randy shut up!

Bob is definitely a favorite, I think he is the oldest guy out here. He's been a teacher for 20 years and he has dealt with young people at that point when they are so sure of themselves. So I think Bob will have a good idea on how to relate to the younger people on this show. I think he'll do okay. If Bob becomes a liability because of his age or physical limitations, he'll be gone.

Matty is one of my favorites. Matty is another original. The guy is up, down, left, sideways, flipped around. He's got ideas, but he's willing to listen. He's kind of crazy, but sometimes he's brilliant. Matty is the guy that has got to last, he's too fun, I think people are going to really like Matty. I think the thing that is most charming about Matty is that he is real, he doesn't know enough to put on an air, he just answers whatever he's thinking. That's incredibly charming and likeable.
