Holy crap. Its like putting a combination of models from FHM and Menso Health onto an island and letting them run around. So the only way you can get onto the island is if you are a doctor, saved somebody from drowning or a FHM sexiest model? What happened to all the common peasants?

I thought I was imaging things, but now that you mention it... seems as though good looks are on top of the list for Survivor- the South African edition. Do you think that's a reflection of what our society is like? Ugly people always come last? Well so long as they aren't stupid I'll be happy.... wait on second thoughts it could be rather entertaining to see the doffies in action! 13 days to go

HAHA, those pics are funny. Are they the cast for Rambo IV? :P

And the mud all over their faces with the green screen in the background...Don't forget Bridgette with her wind-swept hair. Oh the flaws could this be pre-empting the failure of the programme like others or will we be pleasantly surprised?

Apparently the host is a dooche bage as well. He tries to be like the other guy in america(cant think of name right now) but apparently he is not too great. Oh well only time will tell. Another flop like big brother?

they look like they are forming the next SA Gladiators! I just hope that SA wont scredw this one up like so mnay other local versions of great shows...the presenter will be crucial in this I feel, an attempt to clone 'Jeff' like they cloned 'Fiona' from The Weekest Link will be ridiculous.

Well then we may be heading in the right direction... cause this guy is blonde. He says he's a big a fan of the show, so he may imitate Jeff... What I'm hoping for is that Mr Mark Bayly is sharp, witty and questions the contestants when they backstab one another! In that way I think he will be utilising the same talents Jeff has, but in a way that will make him seem somewhat more of an individual. Hey I'm sure he won't be as bad as Colin Toss or Nicole Fox! I don't think it'll be as bad as Big Brother, in fact I kinda ejoyed Big Borther- the first season though.

LOL - Gregor, they do look kinda like a Rambo cast ;)

Jason - nice site...I enjoy catching your latest tidbits from time to time.

Check out this letter I found on News 24...Seems as though we aren't the only ones who have noticed the good-looking Rambo type warriors that are the South African "Survivors".Very valid and interesting points raised by this gentlemen.

Dear Editor,

I must admit, I am most irritated with the Survivor contestants that have been selected for the series. Almost half of them are faces we have seen before on television.

It is so typical of South Africa to pick a bunch of "almost famous" people to be in SA's first Survivor series.

What is wrong with the average man or women on the street?

I am a Survivor fan and have been waiting for the South African version for years... and then they start it like this!

I am not going to watch it!

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. She summed up our argument quite well. Good for her
