Re: Survivor: Micronesia
I'm surprised that they asked Tom to come back, since they didn't ask any of the other winners. I initially thought they must have made a decision not to have any past winners, although asking Tom seems to contradict that.
I'm disappointed there's no Ian - I would have thought he was a clear person to bring back - especially since they did ask Tom. Hopefully they did approach him and he said No.
I am really surprised Jonny Fairplay is on the show. I never saw Pearl Islands (my first season was All-Stars), but have heard so much about him, and particularly Probst's famed hatred of Fairplay (doesn't he refuse to even be in the same room with him?), that I am seriously shocked to see him returning. I would love to have been in the meeting when they told Probst about that piece of casting.
I am overjoyed by two pieces of casting - Yau-Man and Jonathan. Jonathan would probably be my favourite Survivor player of the seasons I have seen, so I'm really hoping for him to do well. The thing I really liked about Jonathan is that he is really intelligent, and plays the game well. And he didn't seem to take game decisions personally, which is really rare for Survivor contestants.
Amanda is wearing another absurdly tiny bikini, so I guess we can guarantee lots more blurring.
Cirie - am I right in remembering her as initially being afraid of leaves, but she really grew over the show? I think I liked her. I can't remember much detail, but I do seem to remember she played the game really well.
Overall, it's a good cast, disappointment about Ian's absence aside. There was no-one included that made me think "Who?"
