Survivor: Part 1

From Reality Blurred:

The cast of Survivor Guatemala includes, as expected, former NFL star Gary Hogeboom. He is, however, the only well-known person on the cast.

Overall, the cast includes just 16 cast members. As I noted earlier, the teaser web site said there would be 20; at the end of last season, Jeff Probst said there’d be 18. So maybe the other casting rumors will come into play later. More than half the cast is past their 20s, and they seem older than previous casts. Their ages: 21, 21, 22, 22, 22, 24, 26, 30, 31, 34, 39, 39, 42, 43, 46, and 63.

Alert reader Sue looked at the cast bios, and noticed that Cindy, Jamie, and Judd all have identical twins. Might this be an opportunity for Survivor to go all Big Brother 5 twin twist on us? Let’s hope not.

Curiously, although initial reports said there would be just 18 cast members this season, CBS’ teaser web site for the show says that “20 strangers will be stranded together.” Could those extra two be these two rumored cast members? Or will they have another role?
