JESSICA ''SUGAR'' KIPER AGE: 29 OCCUPATION: Pin-up/actress (Gilmore Girls) HOMETOWN: Brooklyn, NY SUGAR SAYS: ''I want to make everyone fall in love with me. And I want to be friends with everybody. That's all I got:
my personality. I'm not strong.'' JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''She makes every decision from
her heart and not her head. She's very emotional, somewhat naïve, and I think when
you first look at her, the question is going to be, 'Can she hack it out here?
Does she have what it takes?' It doesn't take much for Sugar to break into tears.'

ACE GORDON
AGE: 27
OCCUPATION: Fashion photographer/Cartier salesman
HOMETOWN: Naples, FL (raised in London)
ACE SAYS: ''I watch the game, I know how to play the game,
I've done sales my whole life, I'm good with people,
and I'm physically adept. And I'm a manipulative *******.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''You would expect him to be like
a villain in a Bond movie who dies a horrible death at the end.
It's almost like a blind arrogance, and he's really fun to watch.
And I think his accent could work for him or against him,
but there is something about the accent that makes
everything he says seem smarter.''
CORINNE KAPLAN
AGE: 29
OCCUPATION: Pharmaceutical sales rep
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles, CA
CORINNE SAYS: ''Honestly, like, I'm a girl. We've all starved
ourselves here and there. I can starve for a little while.
I think there are no losers in Survivor: We all come home
skinny, detoxed, and tan. We're all winners.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Corinne is a self-proclaimed über-*****,
and she owns it. I think the meanest thing you could say to
Corinne would be to say, 'You're very pleasant.' She would
take that as an insult of the highest order.''
KEN HOANG
KEN HOANG
AGE: 22
OCCUPATION: Pro video gamer
HOMETOWN: Westminster, CA
KEN SAYS: ''Gaming will help me because I do well
under pressure. I always come through. I rarely choke.
I'm the underdog, I think all the fans will root for me to win.
I would root for myself if I was watching TV.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Ken the gamer is one of my
favorite people who has been on the show in a long time.
He is convinced his gaming expertise is absolutely in
line with what it takes to win, that he knows this game
backward and forward simply because he's a gamer.
But Ken is a true nerd. I think when the show began
he weighed less than [China's] Courtney did.''
KELLY CZARNECKI
AGE: 22
OCCUPATION: Retail sales
HOMETOWN: Buffalo Grove, IL
KELLY SAYS: ''I'm funny, and I'm fun, and I'm energetic,
and I bring a positive vibe to the group — like a burst of sunshine.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''The way I would describe Kelly
is that she is part of the Text Message Generation.
And she speaks that way, she'll say 'OMG!' for 'Oh my God!'
That's Kelly. And just as a grown man looking at her
I could say, 'That's charming, she's young and has her whole
life ahead of her.' But as a tribemate I'd probably say,
'If she says OMG, I'll probably say GTFOH.'''
RANRANDY BAILEYDY BAILEY
AGE: 49 OCCUPATION: Videographer HOMETOWN: Eagle Rock, MN RANDY SAYS: ''I'll step on toes if I have to. These people
were not friends of mine last week and time will tell
if they'll be friends of mine two months from now.
But a million dollars is more important than their friendship.
Except maybe with that one blonde with the big t---. That might be worth a few hundred grand.'' JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Randy is crotchety and clever.
He's the guy who will come to Tribal Council and try to
challenge me, which is a huge mistake, because I'm
not playing for a million dollars. But I don't think he's
as evil as he wants you to think he is.''
CRYSTAL COX
AGE: 29
OCCUPATION: Athlete (2004 Olympic gold medalist
in the 4x400m track relay)
HOMETOWN: Durham, NC
CRYSTAL SAYS: ''I will win Survivor because I have
the three Bs — brains, beauty, and blazing speed.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''I think Crystal's big dilemma
is going to be, 'What does she say that she does?
Who does she say she is?' Because it's obvious she's an athlete.
Crystal has a mouth on her. She does not edit. That makes
her great at Tribal Council, but a liability in the game.''
CHARLIE HERSCHEL
AGE: 29
OCCUPATION: Lawyer
HOMETOWN: New York, NY
CHARLIE SAYS: ''I haven't really noticed any crazy people,
which kind of makes me nervous that either I'm the crazy
person or there are no crazy people.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Charlie prides himself on being
very bright and educated. And the question I'd say for
Charlie is, 'Can he stand up for himself? Does he really
have a voice?' Or is he just going to look for somebody
to hang on to and see how far they'll pull him along.''
PALOMA SOTO-CASTILLO
AGE: 24
OCCUPATION: Student
HOMETOWN: Downey, CA (born in Chile)
PALOMA SAYS: ''I think I deserve it. I've worked
really hard in my life. I'm very competitive. I'm stubborn.
I'm compassionate, and passionate.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Paloma is sassy, cute.
My question for her is, 'Is her attitude real, or is it a put on?'
And if it is a put-on, how long will she be able to sustain
it when she starts getting hungry? Paloma's going to have
to pick the right alliance. Who you decide to team up with
early on has such an impact on how you do in the game,
because if you pick the wrong people, it can be hard to get out from under that.''
DANNY ''G.C.'' BROWN
AGE: 26
OCCUPATION: Maintenance supervisor
HOMETOWN: Portland, OR
G.C. SAYS: ''I will win Survivor because I need this million
dollars more than anyone out here.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''G.C. is a fish out of water.
Does he have the fortitude to really do this? Because
when I talked to him before the show it seemed like a
lot of nervous energy masquerading as confidence. But it was,
really, I felt, fear, like 'What am I getting into?' And that's
not a good place to be because what you're getting into is
a big ol' headache.''
GILLIAN LARSON
AGE: 61
OCCUPATION: Retired Nurse
HOMETOWN: Temecula, CA (raised in South Africa)
GILLIAN SAYS: ''I love doing all sorts of crazy things. It
doesn't matter what age you are. As long as you can
physically do it, do it! And hopefully they'll look at me
as a mom and you know, who would like to kick their
mother out of the game?''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Charm is her strength
because she's likable in doses, and that's her liability.
Does she know when enough is enough? You
can only hear someone say 'I'm from South Africa'
so many times before you want to say,
'Why don't you go back to South Africa!'''
MATTY WHITMORE
AGE: 29
OCCUPATION: Personal trainer
HOMETOWN: Pacific Palisades, CA
MATTY SAYS: ''I'm a fierce competitor. I don't want to lose.
I was raised in the mountains and also in the city,
so I got the wilderness down and I got the humanity down.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''I think Matty will be one of the favorites
this season, someone people will absolutely love. I find him
to be one of the most endearing guys we've ever had on
the show to the point where it could work against him
because he can't hide anything. If he's confused, he says
'I'm confused.' If he's happy, he's smiling. If he's sad, he's crying.''
JACQUE BERG
AGE: 25
OCCUPATION: Medical device sales rep
HOMETOWN: Santa Barbara, CA
JACQUE SAYS: ''It's kind of one of my natural instincts to flirt.
I don't mean to. That's actually going to be something
I watch, because I don't want a target to be on my back from the other girls.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''I think Jacque will be a bit of a dark
horse. I don't think she'll be a leader. I think she'll use her
looks and her charm to get in with the right guy and hope
that she can ride with that guy as far as she can.
If Jacque gets deep into the show I think she's a legitimate
threat at the challenges. She's pretty fit.''
DAN KAY
AGE: 32
OCCUPATION: Lawyer
HOMETOWN: Walpole, MA
DAN SAYS: ''My Achilles' heel in this game will most likely
be trust. You have to have trust to win this game but you
have to know who is untrustworthy, and that's probably
the most difficult task.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''He's earnest, but he is his own
worst enemy. He means well and does not know when
to shut up. He's like a cocker spaniel, charming and
annoying at the same time.''
SUSIE SMITH
AGE: 47
OCCUPATION: Hairdresser/assistant teacher
HOMETOWN: Charles City, IA
SUSIE SAYS: ''The first player that I see going off thinking
they're gonna track an elephant or a hippo, I'm gonna kick their ***,
because we don't need them coming into our camp.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Susie is a mom, and she likes
to talk. That's definitely her biggest obstacle to overcome,
that she can't shut up. If I went in and played this game
and got teamed up with Susie, I would be wary of her hanging
in there with me, because she seems to go with the wind
and doesn't even seem like she's paying attention at times.''
MARCUS LEHMAN
AGE: 28
OCCUPATION: Doctor
HOMETOWN: Atlanta, GA
MARCUS SAYS: ''In addition to trying to be charismatic
and active in the challenges, I have a little additional problem,
which is that from society's viewpoint I have been very successful already.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Marcus is a physician, as
he likes to remind people. And he is a true leader, an
extremely bright guy. He's a hero. He is a huge threat
to win the game, for sure. He has looks, he's got smarts,
he's probably the fittest guy out there, so he's got
a lot of things going for him.
MICHELLE CHASE
AGE: 24
OCCUPATION: Music production assistant
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles, CA
MICHELLE SAYS: ''I will win Survivor because I'm the
bombshell baller. I'm bodacious, and I outwit, and
outlast, and outplay. And I need a million dollars
really bad.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Michelle is a wild card for me
because I actually thought that Michelle had
a good solid energy coming into the game. But she's very
small and very young. I think her life experience is the
big question mark. What will she do when the going gets tough?''
ROBERT ''BOB'' CROWLEY
AGE: 57
OCCUPATION: Physics teacher
HOMETOWN: South Portland, ME
BOB SAYS: ''I'm a high school teacher. I enjoy younger people.
I'm not part of their group, age wise, but emotionally I'm about 12.''
JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''He's the oldest guy out there. And unfortunately,
that works against people all the time, even though
there's probably nobody better equipped for this game.
He's probably the guy who will be the biggest asset,
if they don't get foolish and vote him out.''
