Survivor Guatemala Form Guide

Here are some snap judgements about people I've never met, based on some dodgy stereotypes about their jobs, ages, and favourite things.

To see the faces, and read the full bio, visit: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor11/. You'll need to scroll down to read all the favourites, and click on the Bio link to see the results of their own navel gazing.

Remember, they provided the info; I’m just interpreting it.

Amy, 39 - Police Sargeant
Cops often don't do well, but she's the first ever female cop. Should have the maturity to keep on-side with both the men and women. Definite jury potential, and my early pick as the winner.

Blake, 24 - Real Estate Broker/Model
Our only slash model this year. Favourite smell is gasoline (?!?). Will go early for not understanding the politics of the game and being too nice to people.

Brandon, 22 – Farmer/Rancher
What precisely is the difference between a rancher and a farmer? Token redneck whose horizons will be forcibly – and amusingly - widened by the experience.

Brian, 22 - Ivy League Student
Favourite colour is "deep teal" and co-wrote his school play, so is possibly this year’s token homosexual. Studied psychology, but no evidence that he's ever put it to use in real life.

Brianna, 21 – Retail Sales/ Make-up Artist
The Survivor most likely to do a bikini photo shoot for a lads magazine like FHM, but only after getting voted off early for her appalling work ethic around camp and annoying mannerisms.

Brooke, 26 - Law Student
On paper looks smart and fit, so a definite contender. Should do well on the challenges and has top three potential unless the others feel threatened by her once the individual challenges start.

Cindy, 31 – Zookeeper
Has an identical twin sister named Mindy (!!). May turn out to be the camp loudmouth who gets voted out around the mid-point of the game so the others can get some peace and quiet.

Danni, 30 - Sports Radio Talk Show Host
The girls will feel threatened, and the boys will be aroused but terrified. An early exit despite her impressive physical strength in the challenges for being just too much for anyone.

Gary, 46 - Ex-NFL Quarterback/Real Estate Developer
Will annoy everyone by rabbiting on about his glory days in the NFL and be voted off early. This is a preview of what Gregg from Palau will be like 20 years from now.

Jamie, 24 - Water Ski Instructor
Has an identical twin brother named Ramie (!!). That hair cut is already pretty bad, and will only get worse after a few weeks in the jungle. Survivor most likely to be asked by his tribe to bathe.

Jim, 63 - Retired Fire Captain
A fireman won the last series, but good for a top-three long shot if he’s kept his fitness up and doesn’t hold the team back. Favourite colour is Marine Corp Green, so could be a bit too gung-ho for some.

Judd, 34 - Hotel Doorman
Has an identical twin brother named - wait for it - Timmy. Depending how long he's been a door bitch he could be a very sharp judge of character, and will probably give some good interviews.

Lydia, 42 – Fishmonger

Puerto Rico is officially a US territory, and hardly an ethic minority, but she's the closest we've got to a token foreigner this season. Likely to struggle in the early challenges and be seen as a liability. First to get voted out of her tribe.

Margaret, 43 - Family Nurse Practitioner
Will be kept to the end for her work ethic. Might make the final three, but won’t be taken to the final two if she gets there. Of course, that's exactly what I said about Palau's Wanda and I was very wrong then.

Morgan, 21 - Magician’s Assistant/Waitress
The dark horse who plays the dumb blonde but is actually controlling things behind the scenes. Will go far, and probably make the final five assuming she doesn't cause her team to lose challenges.

Rafe, 22 - Ivy League Student
Mormon Mommy's boy. Lived in Sydney for a while and barracks for the Swans, so he's a Yank who's actually heard of the rest of the world. Should therefore do well on the Guatemala Quiz challenge.


My friend Nicole pointed out that it's weird having three Survivors with identical twins. Could the producers be planning some sort of Big Brother switcheroo scam? You read it here first...
