Learn your Identity for Survivor Nicaragua

Lynn and I got together via telephone tonight and did the draw for Survivor names. The list is below. I encourage you to go to the CBS website at www.cbs.com and read the entire biography for your survivor. While you are at it you can also read the other biographies to see who you think will eventually win. As always, you have until after the first show (this Wednesday) to decide who you think will win and get your vote to me. Also don't forget to mail your $10.00 cheque to me.

And now, here is the list. The tribes are split this year between young and old. After each name you will see La Flor or Espada. These are the tribe names with La Flor (from the French for brains of a dandelion) being the young ones and Espada being the old ones (from the Spanish for dances with dinosaurs).


Georgia will be studying human nature with Alina Wilson, a 23 year old student from Downey California (La Flor)

Lorelee will be paired up with Ben "Benry" Henry, a 24 year old Los Angeles club promoter who Dimples describes as a charming snake (La Flor).

Rick will be catching a wave with Brenda Lowe, a 27 year old paddleboard company owner from Miami, Florida (La Flor).

Selina will be racing around with Chase Rice, a 24 pro race car jackman from Fairview, NC. (La Flor).

Pam will be selling swampland along with Dan Lembo, a 63 year old real estate executive from Watermill, NY (Espada).

Roberta will be sharing a lane with Holly Hoffman, a 44 year old swim coach from Eureka, S.D (Espada).

Jack will be at the heel of Jane Bright, a 56 year old dog trainer from Jackson Springs, NC (Espada).

Pat (that'd be me) will be stitching up the wounded with Jill Behm, a 43 year old ER Doctor from Erie, PA (Espada).

Kathy will be calling plays with Jimmy Johnson, a 67 year old former NFL coach from Islamorada, Fla (Espada). Jeff Probst was nearly peeing himself with excitement that Jimmy J. was on the show, but until he comes out of retirement to lead the Saskatchewan Roughriders to a Grey Cup victory, I refuse to be impressed.

Grace is paired up with the other Jimmy, Jimmy Tarantino a 48 year old commercial fisherman from Gloucester, Mass. who won a video contest to be on the show (Espada).

Lynn will be taking notes with Jud Birza, a 21year old student from Venice, Ca (La Flor).

Mitzie will be learning along with Kelly Bruno, a 26 year old med student from Durham, NC (La Flor).

Jan will be doing her rounds with Kelly Shinn, a 20 year old nursing student from Mesa, Ariz (La Flor).

Debbie will be calling the shots with Marty Piombo, a 48 year old technology executive from Mill Valley, Calif (Espada).

Marie will be sharing a locker room with NaOnka Mixon, a 27 year old PE Teacher from Los Angeles, Ca whose parents apparently made her name up. (La Flor).

Cheryl will be looking for a home with Matthew "Sash" Lenahan, a 30 year old Real Estate Broker from New York NY (La Flor).

Barb will undoubtedly be dealing with lots of cockroaches as she is paired with Shannon Elkins, a 30 male pest control company owner from Lafayette LA (La Flor).

Donna will be putting out fires with Tyrone Davis, a 42 year old fire captain from Inglewood, Ca (Espada).

Jeff will be tending the herd with Wendy DeSmidt-Kohlhoff, a 48 year old Goat Rancher from Fromberg, Mont. (editor's note- Jeff Probst describes Wendy as annoying - not good) (Espada).

Lisa will be keeping house with Yve Rojas, a 41 year old homemaker from Kansas City, MO (Espada)

There you have it. I will post this on the blog site in case yo need to refer back to it later. Enjoy the show on Wednesday and I look forward to receiving your votes for the winner of Survivor Nicaragua.
