Survivor Panama cast unveiled!

[Cheese]

The Cast

Survivor: Panama, the twelfth installment of the long-running reality series, will premiere Thursday, February 2 at 8PM ET/PT -- a date that will put its first few episodes on a collision course with both the later part of ABC's Dancing with the Stars 2 run and NBC's Winter Olympics coverage.


Here's a complete look at the contenders:


A modern day caveman, a Mr. Miyagi wannabe and a hot mama.

• Dan Barry, 52, retired astronaut from South Hadley, Massachusetts
• Aras Baskausas, 24, yoga instructor from Santa Monica
• Austin Carty, 24, author from High Point, North Carolina
• Terry Deitz, 46, retired Navy fighter pilot from Simsbury, Connecticut
• Danielle DiLorenzo, 24, medical sales representative from Pompano Beach, Florida
• Cirie Fields, 35, registered nurse from Waterboro, South Carolina
• Misty Giles, 24, engineer from Dallas
• Melinda Hyder, 32, singer from Sevierville, Texas
• Bruce Kanegai, 58, karate instructor from Simi Valley, California
• Courtney Marit, 31, performance artist from Los Angeles
• Bobby Mason, 32, attorney from Los Angeles
• Ruth Marie Milliman, 48, director of retail leasing from Greenville, South Carolina
• Shane Powers, 35, entertainment marketing company owner from Los Angeles
• Tina Scheer, 45, logging sports promoter/performer from Hayward, Wisconsin
• Sally Schumann, 27, social worker from Chicago
• Nick Stanbury, 25, financial sales rep from Tempe, Arizona

Of interest is that the players will initially be divided into four tribes along gender and age lines: young men, young women, older men (one is only 35) , older women (one is only 32). There will be some sort of schoolyard pick to bring it down to two tribes in the second episode. Seems everyone will last the first episode this time around.

Can someone explain to me why they don't just have a Survivor with a bunch of hot girls on it? Old men and middle-aged trucker women are entertaining and all, but a bunch of 25 year-old women hopping about, sniping at each other and playing those ridiculous games would be, for me at least, be a lot more entertaining. I'm sure I'm not alone.

If they did that I would start watching it again. I watched the first two seasons and then after that it was just too much of the same thing. But if it was full of a bunch of hot chicks I wouldnt care.
