Meet The Survivors!

Well, it is almost that time. Survivor Vanuatu starts in September. The show wrapped up filming not to long ago and spoilers are leaking out everywhere. I am here to help you out.
I am the spoiler queen. I hate not to know what will happen. I will look all over the place for that one little bit of info. I can't help it, I know I have a problem but what can you do? I wonder if they have support groups for these sorts of things. At least you will benefit from it as I file reports as often as I have information!
After weeks of searching for anything Survivor related I bring you what I have found. Let's start with the obvious. In case you haven't heard, this season there will be 18 contestants instead of the usual 16. Unlike last seasons All-stars, it looks like this group will only be separated into two tribes.
It has been reported that the tribe names will be Tasi and Rua. In the local language, these words mean one and two. It was reported that an earthquake hit the area on July 7th. No word yet on if it effected the contestants. One thing that might affect them is the rumor that one of the reward challenges will have the contestants winning a live pig to eat. Animal rights activists should be up in arms.
In an interview Jeff Probst had this to say about this season's contestants: "A colorful guy who would call himself a redneck, super-cute girls who appear to be fighters, a bunch of cocky guys, and someone "inspirational" who Probst promised will "make you realize you can do anything you put your mind to." Sounds quite interesting. Early on, it was thought that Jeff was medevaced out but now it looks like it might have been a contestant. No word yet on which one.
Speaking of contestants, we have the full list. These men and women are thought to be the 18 contestants but don't hold me to it. Here's the list with any info about the person I could find. I have photos of nine of them; clicking on their names that are underlined will show you a pic. Then use your back button to come back here. More pics will be posted as I track them down. Check often with RTVC's Survivor Vanuatu Page for the latest information.
Eliza Orins
Eliza is 21 years old. She resides in Syracuse, NY but her hometown is Washington, DC. Eliza attends Syracuse University with the hope of going on to Law school. Eliza is a very pretty girl if the pics floating around are correct. She looks a lot like Darrah. Eliza also speaks Chinese and is a reality TV junkie.
Ami Cusack
Ami is a 31 year old former adult entertainer. She posed in Playboy in 1996 with Jennie McCarthy for the Girls of Venus Swimwear edition. Ami resides in Denver Colorado and looks a lot like Amy from last season's "The Apprentice." It is rumored that Ami could be gay which would be a first for Survivor. Others rumors have her as a wannabe socialite. I guess we shall see.
Leann Needles
Leann is a 35 year old singer from Wausau, Wisconsin. She was lead singer for the band "76-Juliet." Leann is married to her husband Richard but they might be in the middle of a divorce. Leann donated a kidney to her father and from the pics I have seen is a very attractive woman.

Nothing is really know about Jenean. Reports say you might possibly be from the Fort Worth, Texas area or Pennsylvania. It is thought that she is 25.

Lisa Keiffer
Lisa is either 42 or 43 and resides in Metaire, LA. She is a Realtor. From what I have read, she is not very friendly and a little bossy. Someone from her tennis club interviewed that she is very confrontational, in your face, and has implants but lies about them. No one is sure if she is married or how many kids she has. She appears to be a very interesting. We might have our first boot?
Scout Cloud Lee
Scout is being touted as the Rupert of this season. Scout is 59 and lives a very hippie lifestyle. She resides in Oklahoma and it has been reported that her father is Seminole. Could we possibly have two Native Americans this season? Scout is a very active woman. She is an author, a motivational speaker, and a singer. Google her name and you can find all sorts of info about her.

David Finta
David is a 33 year old former actor. His biggest part to date was the movie "I Married A Monster" in 1998. Rumors have David owning land in several states including California, Hawaii, South Carolina, and Tennessee so no one is sure where he might live.

James Chad Crittenden
James was the last contestant to be found out. He resides in California. He is formally from Missouri. Rumors have been circulating that he is disabled, possibly an amputee. Hmm another first for Survivor. He may also go by his middle name.
As I said before, these people are the ones circulating all over the Internet. We should know as early as next week if the rumors are correct. If you have any spoilers or info you would like to share, please email me. I will post any creditable evidence. See you guys soon!
