(CBS) CBS's top reality show is back for another run. "Survivor: Palau" marks the 10th season for the contest that strands a group of Americans on a deserted island.

And for the first time anywhere, The Early Show introduces the new castaways. The latest group of liars, cheaters and back-stabbers will try to outwit and outplay each other to win $1 million and the title of "Full Survivor."

"Survivor: Palau" premieres on Thursday, Feb. 17, from 8 to 9 p.m. with the first to get kicked off joining The Early Show the following morning.

Palau is yet another remote sanctuary in the South Pacific. But this new cast promises to be something very different.

The 20 castaways, the most ever, will begin the season as one tribe. They are:


Wanda Shirk, a 55-year-old English teacher from Ulysses, Pa.;

Coby Archa, 32, and a hairdresser from Athens, Texas;

Ashlee Ashby, a 22-year-old fitness counselor from South Carolina;

Jonathan Libby, 23, who is in sales and marketing and hails from Dallas, Texas;

Gregg Carey, 27, a business consultant from Chicago;

Katie Gallagher, 29, an ad executive from Merced, Calif.;

James Miller, a 33-year-old steel worker from Mobile, Ala.;

Caryn Groedel, 46, is a lawyer from Ohio.

Jolanda Jones, a 39-year-old lawyer from Houston, Texas;

Willard Smith from Bellevue, Wash., a 57-year-old lawyer;

Stephenie LaGrossa, 25, a pharmaceutical sales rep from Philadelphia;

Angie Jakusz, a 24-year-old bartender from New Orleans;

Ian Rosenberger, 23, a dolphin trainer from Key Largo, Fla.;

Kimberly Mullen, 25, is a graduate student and former Miss Ohio USA from Huber Heights, Ohio;

Bobby Jon Drinkard, 27 and a waiter from Troy, Ala.;

Ibrehem Rahman, another 27-year-old waiter from Alabama;

Jennifer Lyon, 32, a nanny from Encino, Calif.

Janu Tornell, 39, a Las Vegas show girl;

Jeff Wilson, 22 and a personal trainer from Ventura, Calif.;

Tom Westman, a 41-year-old New York City firefighter.

"No two fires are the same," Westman says, predicting that his career will give him an edge. "No two circumstances in this game are the same."

Similarly, Smith, one of three lawyers in the cast, thinks his experiences will help. "If you get me in front of a jury, I'll win a million dollars," he says.

Libby, the Texas marketing man, is looking to the ego factor. He says "My family told me right off the bat that if I'm the first one voted off, don't come home."

Several woman will use feminine wiles.

Mullen, the beauy queen, says: "Unless I can get a boy I can fall in love with me and use that to my advantage, then my luck can play a factor because there are some hot boys."

Lyon, the nanny, adds, "Being one of the more attractive people, I think it's going to be a challenge to do just the right amount of flirting and just not doing it and stepping on other people's toes"

Jakusz, the Big Easy bartenter, doesn't have those worries. Showing off her body covered with tatoos, the bespectacled Jakusz says, "I have the freak factor working for me. Like, I'm the only woman who's ever looked like this on Survivor."

Miller, the steelworker, has no doubts. "I'm going to be the first redneck to win $1 million on this show," he declares.

Janu Tornell
« Reply #10 on: January 13, 2005, 08:07:29 AM »

As a child, Janu Tornell never aspired to be a showgirl. Tornell's Cuban-born mother, Maria, was a famous showgirl in Havana, but Tornell did not find her calling until many life experiences later and considers her mother one of her greatest inspirations for overcoming the hardships of life, including a successful battle with cancer. Tornell is equally inspired by her father, Juan, as he always told her that every experience in life gives you endurance.

Born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, Tornell attended Valley High School. She then spent time in Spain before moving to Los Angeles. She attended Los Angeles Valley Community College before moving back to Las Vegas to finish her studies and pursue a career as a showgirl. In 2004, after 20 years, she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She most recently worked as the lead showgirl for a major Las Vegas hotel, performing two shows per night, six days per week. She also models. Tornell was previously employed as a restaurant manager, waitress and administrative assistant. Additionally, she was named 1989 Miss Nevada USA and was first runner-up in Miami's 1990 Miss Nuestra Belleza competition.

In her spare time, Tornell enjoys traveling, scuba diving, swimming, body surfing, reading, rock climbing and watching foreign films. She describes herself as honest, fun, outgoing and strong-minded. She is fluent in Spanish, Italian, French and English. Her hero is Audrey Hepburn for her talent, goodwill, beauty and her ability to be most beautiful to the least fortunate.

Tornell is an active member of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and the Screen Actors Guild.

Jolanda "Jo" Jones
« Reply #13 on: January 13, 2005, 08:12:00 AM »


Jolanda "Jo" Jones attended Alief Elsik High School in Houston, Texas, where she graduated magna cum laude and was an All-American in both track and field and basketball. She is the only person to win the Texas State 5A Team Championship as an individual. After high school, Jones went on to graduate magna cum laude with a degree in political science from the University of Houston. She served on numerous university and community boards and organizations and was a member of the student government. Jones was nominated by the university for a Rhodes scholarship and received the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. In 1995, Jones earned her Juris Doctorate from the University of Houston Law Center. She is currently self-employed as a lawyer/consultant/community activist.

Jones was the 1989 US Track and Field Heptathlon Champion and earned an unprecedented three NCAA heptathlon championships. She was the runner-up for SWC Female Athlete of the Decade for the 80s, two-time Academic All-American while at the University of Houston and a 1989 NCAA Top Six Award winner.

An abusive relationship forced Jones to retire from track and field for seven years. Despite the odds, she resumed training while working part-time as a corporate lawyer. Within three months, she had qualified for the 1996 US Olympic Trials. Unfortunately, her 19 year-old brother was murdered two weeks before she was to compete. His death and her meager five months of training proved too much to overcome (although she did win the high jump portion of the heptathlon and was in sixth place after three events). After competing in three events, she became severely dehydrated and was forced to withdraw.

Such accomplishments have earned Jones a spot in the Cougar Hall of Fame at the University of Houston Athletic/Alumni Center. She was inducted into the GTE (Verizon) Academic All-America Hall of Fame in 1999. She was inducted into the Texas Black Hall of Fame in 2003.

Jones largely credits her success to her tumultuous childhood. When she was 13 months old, her father committed suicide while she was in the room. Her mother had four more children, and Jones became their primary caretaker while their mother worked. There were times when the family went without water, electricity or heat. When Jones was a teenager, their rented house burned down due to the use of candles in place of electricity. Two of her uncles committed suicide, her aunt was murdered and various members of her family are in prison and on welfare. Jones credits her criticizing mother and supportive grandmother for teaching her to be the best and stand up for the poor and disenfranchised.

Jones' niece died of SIDS in 2000. Consequently, she sits on the board of the 501c(3) named after her niece, the U'jana Conley Foundation for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. She also sits on the board of the Land Assemblage Redevelopment Authority for the City of Houston.

Jones currently resides in Houston, with her son, Jiovanni (13). Her birth date is November 6, 1965.

It really looks like the yougner crowd could easily ban together but obviously we don't really know what "conditions" that they are under this time around and a big thing in SURVIVOR is that you don't know what is gonna happen next.  I still like Gregg and maybe Stepanie, Kim, and Bobby.  For some reason I just keep thinking that Gregg will do really well I dunno.  As for my favortie people so far Bobby and Ian they both have great taste in music DMB and Widespread.   Both also have some pretty rockin' hair especially Ian. 

I just noticed that Gregg list Phish as one of his favortie bands as well, If these three guys get together and start talking jam bands they will have an instant bond.  This could backfire for Ian cuase a lot of people hate Dave Matthews for some reason.   

Anyone else notice how many list SURVIVOR as a favorite TV show????

 Survivor: Palau
 
CHANGE OF GAME: Coming off of one of the lamest Survivor seasons ever, CBS has some big twists in store for the upcoming 10th edition. Debuting Feb. 17, Survivor: Palau will feature 20 contestants, three of whom will be booted at the end of the first episode. "They're given very little instruction about what to do, and some of them are genuinely lost," exec producer Mark Burnett tells Variety. "Two people don't make it to the first challenge. That's how tough it is. It's very emotional." The cast includes a 23-year-old dolphin trainer from Florida, a 55-year-old English teacher and a 39-year-old Vegas showgirl — whose name, regrettably, is not Cristal Connors

Yep, a lot of good looking, young people this season. MB must have picked a younger crowd, because he thought they would adjust better to having nothing.

WOW, 2 don't even make it to the first challenge? OMG! What do they get to camp and quit?

We have to wait until the 17th!  |:(
