Here's how our survivors stacked up before the first episode: ADAM: Interesting Fact: Adam stripped naked at the second Woodstock festival and was pictured that way in Newsweek magazine. I thought you looked familiar! First Impression Points: 11 out of 16 BECKY: Interesting Fact: Becky enjoys doing "hot yoga". Does this refer to the temperature, or the relative "hotness" of the participants? Do those city councilmen in New York know they're segregating yoga classes by hotness..??? First Impression Points: 11 out of 16 BILLY: Interesting Fact: Billy wrestles professionally under the name "Spanish Fly". Very subtle, Billy. For some reason, I don't think you're going to be a "fly under the radar" kind of guy. First Impression Points: 9 out of 16 BRAD: Interesting Fact: Brad was allegedly hand-picked for this season of Survivor by Mark Burnett himself when he spotted him in a restaurant. Burnett's First Impression Points must have been off the charts! Mine however: 9 out of 16 CANDICE: Interesting Fact: Watching Survivor:Africa inspired Candice to do service work in Africa. I mean, she went and lived in a mud hut! Who says that TV is a bad influence? She's an early favorite. First Impression Points: 15 out of 16 CAO BOI: Interesting Fact: Cao Boi is the world-record holder in Marathon Softball where he played for 100 hours. You know he's just hoping for a endurance competition involving softball! First Impression Points: 9 out of 16. CECILIA: Interesting Fact: Cecilia didn't learn to speak English until she was 16. Maybe she shouldn't let on she knows English at all! You know, be the quiet observant type... and don't say anything that can be used against her later! First Impression Points: 8 out of 16 CRISTINA: Interesting Fact: Cristina has gone through not one, but TWO life threatening situations during her career as a police officer. Immunity challenges? Bring 'em on!! This girl's not going down without a fight. First Impression Points: 10 out of 16 JENNY: Interesting Fact: Jenny used to be a local TV reporter, and is not afraid to admit she likes being the center of attention. And they cast her on a reality show... really? What are the odds? First Impression Points: 8 out of 16 JESSICA: Interesting Fact: Jessica is a Nor Cal Roller girl who goes by the name "Flicka Flame" and a performance artist with a fire-related act. I just hope she doesn't bring some of those swinging fire balls to the island like that girl did last season. That was just disturbing. First Impression Points: 8 out of 16 JONATHAN: Interesting Fact: Jonathan has already appeared previously on two other CBS shows, "CSI" and "The Nanny". Hmmmm... contestants in CBS reality shows that already have a history with CBS productions tend to make it till late in the game whether they deserve it or not. (See: Erika of BB7) So lets see how he does and how my theory stands up. First Impression Points: 13 out of 16 JP: Interesting Fact: J.P. received a full volleyball scholarship to California State University. Yet another volleyball player! There seem to be a whole slew of them this time around. Wow, if they can get past that whole racial tension thing, they can have a heck of a tournament during their downtime on the beach! I hope someone remembers to bring a ball. First Impression Points: 13 out of 16 NATHAN: Interesting Fact: Nate began playing the violin when he was only 8 years old. Maybe he'll bring it with him on the island? He could play soft romantic music for the tribe while they all eat grubs by the light of the campfire. First Impression Points: 8 out of 16 OZZY: Interesting Fact: Ozzy camped all the way from Panama to San Diego over the course of five months. This Survivor thing should be a breeze! He’s just going to get all restless when he finds out he has to stay put in the same place for 39 days. First Impression Points: 10 out of 16 PARVATI: Interesting Fact: Parvati works as a female boxer AND a cocktail waitress. That's right guys: tip well, and tip often. First Impression Points: 14 out of 16 REBECCA: Interesting Fact: Rebecca is a make-up artist for "The View," and does make-up for former Survivor Elisabeth Hasselbeck. (Psst, Rebecca... don't bring up the subject of the Morning-After pill around Elisabeth. And if you do, be prepared to reapply some make-up.) First Impression Points: 8 out of 16 SEKOU: Interesting Fact: Sekou recorded his first professional record at age 18... and the album eventually went gold! Now he's a professional jazz musician, and has worked with the likes of Quincy Jones, Coolio, Michael Jackson, Liza Minnelli, and Luther Vandross. Come on everybody, let's be groupies! First Impression Points: 13 out of 16 STEPHANNIE: Interesting Fact: Stephannie was previously in the United States Armed Forces and served in Desert Storm during the Gulf War. Didn't that last for about 39 days too? First Impression Points: 10 out of 16 SUNDRA: Interesting Fact: Sundra has also appeared previously on another CBS show (CSI:Miami). I imagine she's going to be disappointed when she finds out she can't run to the commissary this time to grab a sandwich when the cameras aren't rolling. First Impression Points: 9 out of 16 YUL: Interesting Fact: Yul helped draft sections of the Homeland Security Bill and other technology-related legislation. And that's just a snippit from this guy's background. According to his bio, he's some kind of wunderkind of the business and technology world. Keep an eye on this guy. I don't mean just in Survivor, I mean in general. I think we'll be hearing more from him in the outside world. First Impression Points: 16 of 16
