Anyway, according to a video preview on CBS, Probst claims that this will be a "fun season full of likable people." I'm so sure. Has he already been out in the sun too long? These people seem to be your typical Idol archetypes: the lazy people, the hard worker, the hot blonde, the annoying older person who likes to yell a lot, the clueless young'un with no game play, the rich guy who is trying to keep his money a secret. Nothing that screams "fun" or "likable" to me at the outset. I mean, I'm at the point where I've watched the other eighteen seasons. Yes, 18, so I'm not going to stop now. I know what I'm in for, but I don't really expect anyone or anything to really surprise me. Though occasional moments of utter stupidity do have me shaking my head.

I will, however, be curious to find out if they used a more durable brand of glue to hold their props together to avoid another season of crafty Bob's fake idols. That guy could have his own show, sort of Martha meets Mr. Wizard. Anyway, here's to a new season and 16 new castaways to know and hate.

Survivor airs on CBS at 8 PM. Find out what else is worth watching tonight.
