ThankYou FP for bringing this. Those are great pictures. Any First Impressions?
I haven't seen the vidoes of the last 5 players since the CBS site keeps making my computer freeze but quickly, here are my impressions:

Alex and Earl are very impressive. Strong and smart guys. Alex has a resumé that is close to Yul's. Earl seems to be always working with a smile.

For the women: Lilliana, Jessica and Stacy have impressed me the most. Lilliana with her 8 years in the Marine corps and a good attitude will be one to watch. Interestingly in her bio is written that she has a "Burning fire for life!" Could it be a spoiler? Jessica and Stacy seem to have the right mix of atheltism and attitude. Jessica promises "No Romance!"

And watch Anthony: His video is all about strategy: "Don't make alliance with the pretty girl because she'll beat you in the end. Make alliance with people that aren't too friendly so you can beat them etc..." Smart guy who could be dangerous or could crash and burn

The Other Men:
Boo and Edgardo both seem too pretentious but they could be powerhouses.
Dre and James will be loud. Dre seems to think he knows everything but he could be friendly. James has a Boston tattoo on his arm. BostonRob and Shane went far but didn't win.
Gary could be the older, friendly guy who goes far or is first out!
Mookie and Yau-Man haven't made an impression on me yet.

The Other Women
Casandra looks like Cirie V2.0. Friendly, smart and a thinker. Cirie is a tough act to follow.
Erica talks about not taking leadership too early. She seems like she could butt heads much too frequently.
Lisi didn't make any impression yet
Rita could be a loyal soldier and go far.
Michelle: My ears still hurt from her high-pitched voice. She's too much for me! How will others react to her?

Sylvia seems very bossy in the vidcaps. I haven't seen her video yet. First Boot? My pick for now to go out first anyway!

Hmmmm, Looks like a real diverse group FP. Kinda reminds me of last season. Just when I thought the whites couldn't get any dumber than the Raros, EPMB might have found a way to do it with this group.

I'm excited to see some intelligent women - a Civil Engineer and an Architect. Bet their shelter will be the "bomb!"

Thanks for bringing these over.

Nice to see that Sylvester Stallone is alive and well, and that the Botox treatments are doing quite a job for him!

If this is about race, the hispanics have a hugh advantage.

I know Yau-man is going to get on my nerves already.

A woman will win this year. A lot of Miss Independence in there.

I haven't seen any of the videos but just judging by appearance and short bio...Alex and Earl and Anthony look pretty strong.

Lots of lumber (not just scraps of wood or tree twigs) and tools to construct pretty nice shelters. Tables, paint, saws, knives, rope, mats... wow -

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere here, but I saw on the Blogging Project Runway site that Rita Verreos is Nick Verreos' sister. He was on season 2 of PR.

You know, for whatever that's worth.
