PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"S26 - Cast - Newcomers" |
A companion thread to the Returnees one. Here are the ten newcomers that will make up the Fans side of the equation for this upcoming season, each in their own post. Please do not post source spoilers in this thread - may I suggest the "*S26 Spoilers" thread for that purpose? You can, though, post links, interviews, things revealed as the show goes along, etc. in this thread about each person.

Hobbies: Hanging out with friends, drinking at work (I’m a bartender so it’s not as unprofessional and horrible as it sounds) and working out. Pet Peeves: I hate dirty people.

1) Eyeliner – so I could be prettier than I already am.
2) Hair detangle.
3) Crest white strips (see a theme?) SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Jenna Morasca - because I think she was very intelligent. She knew when to use sex appeal, when to play dumb, when to win and when to be smart. Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Anyone on Survivor who says that money is not the number one motivating factor is either a liar or completely brain-dead. The money is absolutely my motivation. Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I believe that I could be the final Survivor because people will underestimate me until it’s too late. I know that the game is just as much social as it is mental and emotional. I will go in with a plan, but I know that until I meet everyone out there, I can’t have a solid plan.

I'd say arrogant if he really is a fan and thinks he can actually accomplish that "mission". Clueless if, like most of the Micronesia fans, he never really watched the show.

10. "Reynold Toepfer" |
 Name: Reynold Toepfer (30) Tribe Designation: Gota Current Residence: San Francisco, Calif. Occupation: Real Estate Sales Personal Claim to Fame: Living abroad in Australia. I fully immersed myself in the culture, made beautiful friendships that will last a lifetime and gained a truer understanding of who I am.

Pet Peeves: Negative people who feel sorry for themselves and winter. 3 Words to Describe You: Adventurous, resourceful and likable. If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why? Music and books are both passions of mine and are things that could alleviate some of the stress during the very trying times on Survivor. I’d also bring a volleyball. Sand volleyball is super fun and I think some games on the beach could be good for the tribe. SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Physically, I think I can perform in challenges like Colby Donaldson. Socially, I flirt like Parvati Shallow and can handle intense confrontational situations with a smile on my face. And, I’m a bit like Todd Herzog where I can play into people’s egos to keep them blind to my agenda. Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: The challenge! My life has been defined by putting myself in new and challenging situations and succeeding. Survivor would be such an appropriate culmination as to what my life has been up to this point and I don’t think I could ever replicate anything as great as Survivor on my own. Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I’m a charmer. I dazzle people. They adore me and open up to me. I’m an excellent motivator, excellent physical competitor and have experience spear fishing. Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: With my charming personality and a long history of thriving in and adapting to new social situations, I am the best equipped to manipulate the actions of my fellow competitors to play my agenda. I’m in excellent physical shape and my strong competitive drive makes me almost unstoppable.
