"New contestants for S5 sound terrible"

The two contestants so far sound boring. A female professional baseball player?! Sounds like a dud. A children's advocate!? What's next, Mr. Rogers and Mary Lou Retton?

I don't want winners who have totally stable lives, and at the same time aren't that attractive. I want unstable people who lose their temper. I want funny people. I want beautiful people. I want people I can relate to, or at least can stare and laugh at, or be entertained by.
Give me a Tom, Jerri, Lex, Sean, Rob, T-Bird, Sue, Kelly, Lindsay, Elizabeth, Rudy. Surely they must have people like this in the applicant pool.

I am so dissappointed in MB.

Female baseball player sounds refreshingly new and different to me. I think it's a nice change from the 500 bartenders we have seen on the show.

But you know Jeff, Survivor V--Thailand just wouldn't be the same, without at least one bartender, or wannabe actor?

How could the show possibly survive, without another self-absorbed narcissist like Silas?

Welcome to Blows, sensi92. Actually, given the history of Survivor, there may be someone in the cast who could use the services of the children's advocate. There's always someone who is clueless and could use a real friend (Sean K., Kimmi, Clarence, Zoe). It would be neat if she brought her Friendly Bear costume as her luxury item, don't you think! As for the baseball player, perhaps during challenges she'll do some "hey, batta batta batta" taunting.

ARRRRRRR!!!!

Yeah! Imagine if we had Miss Child Advocate there on Nuka Hiva on the same tribe as Gabe and Jimmy during S4 -- imagine the alliance we'd have going there, and who knows... it may have made all the difference in getting the Prince John Alliance of Four broken up even earlier.

Who the heck is Jimmy? I don't remember this contestant, unless you are talking about Neleh before her sex change.

Hint #1: Jimmy's the one uuh wen wee Gabey in awww his ehwenjues.
(read: Jimmy's the one who went with Gabey in all his adventures).
Hint #2: A certain poster's username describes Jimmy best. (I'm looking forward to her response...)

Welcome sensi!
I agree, hasn't MB figured out yet, that the people want to see train wrecks. We don't want to see V and neleH talk about their ethics and.....prays jesus......whoops,I don't know where that came from....all that crap. Give me a Rudy and a couple of Diques and may be a SUUUZAN with a little Lex and Tom on the side. Have Jerri around just to hate.
Stage a cat fight between two of the cast members. Better yet, how about a fight between one of the gay cast and one of the women.
If I was writing this show it would be a lot funnier.

--brilliant chickenhunter. I love your picks. That would make for a VERRRRRY entertaining and interesting show. And including Lex, my all time favorite Survivor, just made me like your idea even more

I just wanted to add that I think it depends on the person and not the job that makes the players entertaining.

I don't think you can necessarily tell what a person will be like just by their profession.

Child advocate, I think may have come from Dicque's home town. Maybe he got her in. Or did we already forget that, Bashers? Baseball player? Well, better than a bartender or soap opera wannabe. MB has stayed true to form -- token black (1 or 2), token gay (in or out), token b!tch, token good looking (4 or 5), and token older folks, plus an American sweetheart. Let's see if he stays with that formula. I personally think he should go with all young, buff bods, then for the next episode all 50+, all minority, etc. It would be like Road Rules, Love Cruise, etc. Just don't give us the same old formula, MB.

Edited 'cause I forgot I can't say B_tch

LOL, Wildwitch..., you're right.
And forgot about Kimmi and Alicia's fingerwaving duel re the chicken thing.

Survivor is a primetime soap opera, where half the fun is in the artistry of the production/editing crew dealing with psuedo-amateur actors.

The short bios we get (I only know of two so far) say nothing about the character of the people and how they truly relate to the others they're thrown in with. I hope MB added a Muslim Arab (for diversity's sake! ha ha), to see what happens with that character.


and hugs and sunshine for all, Ra

Welcome Sensi.
The woman baseball player is clearly the token lesbian. She will probably be close to sue Hawk, stabbing in the back, wearing unflattering swim suits, and missing her chewin' tobaccy.

As for the "children's advocate", sounds like a child molester in disguise to me. Watch out for this one to be the real life villian.

I still don't understand why EPM doesn't just add in a few people who really need the money.....let's do a homeless edition, I mean, come on, who would be more ruthless for the money? Let's raise the money total to $2 Million, they're making plenty of money off of this show, give some of it back to the stars. Give Probst a raise, maybe he wouldn't be so....well....like Jeff Probst. But mainly, we need people who REALLY need the money. Get some fast food workers, homeless people, unemployed people that make up about 50% of the population....no one wants to see preppy law students and doctors go for the money.

"RE: New contestants for S5 sound terrible"
Posted by sensi92 on 06-19-02 at 06:54 PM
Yes, homeless would be good.

First we have a homeless crack addict
Second, we have a ho with little panties
Third, we have a stud womanizer with a huge sausage
Fourth, we have the token bitter black man
Fifth, we have an unemployed fast food worker

Yes, we need to tell MB no to Tammys, Roberts, Vecepias, Sonjas, Tinas, Ethans, Zoes, KimJs, Carls, Rogers.

BTW, can someone tell me how to put an image next to my signature from another website. JeffGator, pepelepew, teddy_bear, dakota, you seem to know. I went to the account maintenance to put an image in and it didn't work.

Well, sensi92, Mine is an IceCat original; so you may want to consider asking him via private message or email.

There is an entire thresd on this subjet in the HELP Forum, under the subject: How do I add a graphic--ie sigpic, to my signature. I suggest that you check the Help Forum first,

and if that doesn't help; the great artistic genius, IceCat will.

You may want to also consider using your own pic--60x60 pixels high, or type animations in your browser; you will find lots of neat ideas that way.

You can either paste the URL directly in to the signature box in the User section, or press the Upload File button, and paste it there.

I hope that this helps. Oh and btw, I think that a Homeless Survivor, would really rock; no I'm seeeeeeeeeeeerrrius!!!!

Thanks for the help. Let's hope it works. This messageboard is so much better than the ezboard. They all get offended there if you criticize anything about precious survivor.
