Survivor 20 cast officially revealed. no spoilers please

[lazarus]

Just saw it on the CBS website. Here they are:

Amanda
Candice
Cirie
Coach
Colby
Courtney
Danielle
James
Jerri
JT
Parvati
Randy
Rob M
Rupert
Russell
Sandra
Stephenie
Sugar
Tom
Tyson

It's fairly obvious who's on which tribe. And it's fairly obvious that someone we're not expecting, like Sugar or Candice, will win.

Why in the world are they giving Amanda yet another chance to cry about how hard it is to play the freaking game? And where's Bob?

I predict the players we're all interested in will be voted out early, too. Just like All Stars. Oh, well, I'm going to try to enjoy this.

1. I hope Amanda does not cry again

While I like the girl, she really fails to get how bad she looks when she plays that card. I suspect the tough players, like Parvati and Coach, will try to oust the other tough players first, like Boston Rob and Russell (if they even know about Russell, when was this filmed? Did anyone get to see Russell on the last season before going to film this. If not, he has a HUGE Advantage he can play.)

I love Colby and hope he stays around. As long as its not Stephanie. I love looking at her (she is beautiful) but she annoys me too much. It will be great to see Rupert again. Please dont have Sugar win. That would be so wrong. Who is Courtney? I love that Tyson is back.

2. Courtney

is the skinny lady from China.

My sister and I were going over this list, and can't really separate the ladies. The men fall fairly easily into hero/villain roles, but a few of the ladies don't.

8. The filming schedule is key for Russell...

I'm thinking they don't know about him at this point.... Russell will be able to spin a good one...........I'm rooting for Russell.

9. in the pre-season interviews

on EW, Russell laughingly said he's actually going to try flying under the radar.

3. Okay, got the tribal breakdown

I don't understand some of these:

Amanda - Hero
Candice - Hero (according to Jeff, because of the mutiny. Right. She thought she would be a villain.)
Cirie - Hero
Coach - Villain
Colby - Hero
Courtney - Villain (because only Probst can snark, apparently.)
Danielle - Villain (I barely remember her, so whatever.)
James - Hero
Jerri - Villain
JT - Hero (Says he's the player he most respects. Oy.)
Parvati - Villain (Even though every player but two on FvF loved her and she told very few lies.)
Randy - Villain
Rob M - Villain (How dare he play the game!)
Rupert - Hero
Russell - Villain
Sandra - Villain (I guess because of her brilliant "anybody but me" strategy.)
Stephenie - Hero (Let's just ignore Guatemala.)
Sugar - Hero
Tom - Hero
Tyson - Villain (They couldn't get someone better?)

I'm missing some much better villains and heroes. Fairplay. Yul. Earl. Shane. Shii Ann. Michelle (from Fiji). Sundra (the most beautiful contestant ever).

5. I forgot one

Jonathon Penner. He was medevaced on his second season, so if anyone deserves a third try, it's him.

Speaking of medevacs, Mike Skupin really should have gotten another chance.

6. I really thought Mike was going to be on

I was sure I had read it somewhere. Oh well.

7. I can't stand Rupert

Maybe he will get voted off the island early.

4. No Johnny Fairplay? How can you have a villains team without him?
