Heroes:

RUPERT BONEHAM
Age: 45
Hometown: Indianapolis, Ind.
Current Residence: Indianapolis, Ind.
Previous Finishes: Pearl Islands, 8th Out, All-Stars, 15th Out, 6th Jury Member

Rupert is not only one of the warmest, friendliest former Survivors I’ve met so far, but he also has a heart of gold. He heads a non-profit organization that helps at-risk young people. His organization also helps young people coming out of incarceration to get acclimated and ready to live a positive life on the outside. He’s the winner of $1 million as the fan favorite.

JAMES CLEMENT
Age: 32
Hometown: Lafayette, La.
Current Residence: Malibu, Calif./Lafayette, La.
Previous Finishes: China, 10th Out, Micronesia, Injured, Jury Member

I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting James so far, but My friend Betsy has. She tells me that he is very modest and friendly. He got his incredible physique by working as a grave digger, and he is certainly not hard to watch on the show! ;-)

COLBY DONALDSON
Age: 35
Hometown: Christoval, Texas
Current Residence: Los Angeles, Calif.
Previous Finishes: Australia, Runner-Up, All-Stars, 5th Out

Colby hasn’t been at any of the Survivor charity events I’ve attended, but he’s always been one of the former Survivors that I have wanted to meet. He came very close to winning the Australia season and it will be fun to see how well he does this season.

CIRIE FIELDS
Age: 39
Hometown: Jersey City, N.J.
Current Residence: Norwalk, Conn.
Previous Finishes: Panama, 12th Out, Micronesia, 15th Out

Cirie is a former Survivor that many of us can identifiy with. She is a fan, a wife and mother and plays the game with heart. I’ll be hoping she does well this season!

AMANDA KIMMEL
Age: 24
Hometown: Kalispell, Mont.
Current Residence: Los Angeles, Calif
Previous Finishes: China, 2nd Runner Up, Micronesia, Runner Up

Amanda made it to runner-up statis in two seasons. I wonder if she’ll be able to do it again.

JESSICA “Sugar” KIPER
Age: 29
Hometown: Baton Rouge, La.
Current Residence: Los Angeles, Calif.
Previous Finishes: Gabon, 2nd Runner-Up

Sugar is one of the few cast members this season who have only been a part of one season of Survivor so far. But she was certainly a memorable castaway during her season. She kept getting sent to the “Sugar Shack” where she found the Immunity Idol early, then spent her time relaxing and eating fruit. I wonder if she’ll be so lucky this season.

STEPHENIE LAGROSSA
Age: 29
Hometown: Braircliff, Glenolden, Pa.
Current Residence: Philadelphia, Pa.
Previous Finishes: Palau, 10th Out, Guatemala: Runner-Up

Stephenie is another of my all-time favorite Survivors. I was really looking forward to talking to her at the last Survivor charity event I attended, but she had to cancel her attendance at the last minute. She proved herself to be tough as nails during her first season of the show and finished as a runner up the second time out. She could be a real contender this season.

JAMES “JT” THOMAS JR.
Age: 25
Hometown: Samson, Ala.
Current Residence: Mobile, Ala.
Previous Finishes: Tocantins, Winner

JT is another of the one-season Survivor veterans. He broke a tooth in a challenge and proved to be not only a very nice person, but a great player. Since he’s one of the former winners, he could have a target on his back this season.

TOM WESTMAN
Age: 45
Hometown: New York, N.Y.
Current Residence: New York, N.Y.
Previous Finishes: Palau, Winner

I have met Tom at a Survivor charity event and he brought his kids with him to the event. He’s a very warm, friendly, approachable person and I liked him a lot. He was an almost perfect player during his season, catching a shark bare-handed! He too may have a target on his back since he’s a former winner.

CANDICE WOODCOCK
Age: 27
Hometown: Fayetteville, N.C.
Current Residence: Washington, D.C.
Previous Finishes: Cook Islands, 13th Out

The first thing I think about when Candice is mentioned is that my friend Billy Garcia thought she had professed her love to him during the Cook Islands season. She hadn’t, but if she had known him better, she might have. He’s a great guy. It will be fun to see her in action again this season.

Villains:

This season, the Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains logo has three new words that describe the game. Instead of the usual Outwit, Outlast, Outplay the logo has these words for us: Return, Revenge, Redemption. And here are the Villains that will make these words come to life.

TYSON APOSTOL
Age: 30
Hometown: Lindon, Utah
Current Residence: Heber City, Utah
Previous Finishes: Tocantins, 8th Out

I’ve talked to Tyson about his time on Survivor and he was just as arrogant and self-important as he seemed on the show. If it’s an act, he’s very good at it.

RUSSELL HANTZ
Age: 37
Hometown: Dayton, Texas
Current Residence: Dayton, Texas
Previous Finishes: Samoa, Runner-Up

OK, you know him and you either love him or you hate him. I’m among the people who don’t like Russell at all. My friend Betsy thinks he’s great. That’s how people are about him. When Betsy talked to him at the Survivor: Samoa after party, she told him that to her, he’s the “Sole Survivor.” He thanked her, but laughed and told her that he wouldn’t be giving her the $100,000. At least he has a sense of humor.

RANDY BAILEY
Age: 50
Hometown: Austin, Texas
Current Residence: Austin, Texas
Previous Finishes: Gabon, 11th Out

I didn’t like him on the Gabon season and I doubt that I’ll like Randy on this season. He’s just not a likable guy. But he definitely fits the category of Villain.

DANIELLE DILORENZO
Age: 26
Hometown: Boston, Mass.
Current Residence: Los Angeles, Calif.
Previous Finishes: Panama, Runner-Up

To tell you the truth, after so many seasons, Danielle just isn’t one of the most memorable Survivors. I don’t remember much about her at all, let alone that she was a Villain. I guess we’ll have to wait to see how she does this season.

JERRI MANTHEY
Age: 38
Hometown: Los Angeles, Calif.
Current Residence: Los Angeles, Calif
Previous Finishes: Australia, 8th Out, All-Stars, 7th Out

If I had to choose someone on the Villains team that I liked and enjoyed watching, it would have to be Jerri. I hope she and Colby decide to settle some old grudges. It could be fun to watch.


[Photo: Monty Brinton/CBS ©2010 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.]
ROBERT “Boston Rob” MARIANO
Age: 33
Hometown: Boston, Mass.
Current Residence: Pensacola, Fla.
Previous Finishes: Marquesas, 7th Out, All-Stars: Runner-Up

Rob is one of the most seen Survivor veteran ever, aside from his wife Amber. The pair went on the Amazing Race together, got married on TV and went to Las Vegas so that Rob could try to become a professional poker player. He too is someone that will be fun to watch on the show. He never disappoints.

PARVATI SHALLOW
Age: 27
Hometown: Atlanta, Ga.
Current Residence: Los Angeles, Calif.
Previous Finishes: Cook Islands, 15th Out, Micronesia: Winner

Parvati is truly a devious player and one of the people she completely duped was James Clement. He’s back on the Heroes team and she’s back on the Villains. It should be interesting to see how they interact this time, should they get the chance.


[Photo: Monty Brinton/CBS ©2010 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.]
SANDRA DIAZ-TWINE
Age: 34
Hometown: Stamford, Conn.
Current Residence: Fayetteville, N.C.
Previous Finishes: Pearl Islands, Winner

I liked Sandra during her season and look forward to the new things she has in store for us. And it strikes me that some of her game play during Pearl Islands was a bit like Russell’s in Samoa. I wonder if they will align or be against each other…


[Photo: Monty Brinton/CBS ©2010 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.]
BENJAMIN “Coach” WADE
Age: 38
Hometown: Susanville, Calif.
Current Residence: Susanville, Calif.
Previous Finishes: Tocantins, 11th Out

When I think of Coach, I think of the time he said he had been kidnapped in South America by cannibals or pygmies or something…the story seems to mutate. He was totally over the top with his “dragon slayer” talk and really got to be annoying. I wonder if he’s decided to change his ways for this season.

COURTNEY YATES
Age: 28
Hometown: Boston, Mass.
Current Residence: New York, N.Y
Previous Finishes: China, Runner-Up

When I’ve seen Courtney at various Survivor events, she’s been nearly inseparable from Todd & Frosti from the China season. The three of them together are really funny and fun-loving. It’s a very different thing to see her in person and to watch her connive on Survivor. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us.

The Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains season will premiere on CBS on February 11.

Filming location: Upolu, Samoa
Winner: TBD
Original run: February 11, 2010 –
Filming dates: August 9, 2009 – September 16, 2009
