'Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains': Looking for clues in the trailer
Twitter
Google
CBS won't officially announce the cast for "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains" until Jan. 9, but after looking at the trailer, we have a decent idea of who might be lining up on each side.The network ran a 115-second teaser for the new edition, the show's 20th, during the "Survivor: Samoa" finale on Dec. 20. The first minute or so is a look back at earlier seasons. Around the 1:10 mark, though, things start to get interesting, as host Jeff Probst starts talking about the villains -- chosen for their skills in "deception, manipulation and duplicity," and the heroes, who represent "integrity, courage and honor." Here's the full trailer:
After multiple viewings and frame-by-frame (or, OK, clicking play and pause a whole bunch of times) analysis of the trailer, we saw the following people. Some of them -- especially inaugural winner Richard Hatch, who was in jail during the filming of "Heroes vs. Villains" -- may be red herrings, and others seem like no-brainers. There are also a few supposedly complete cast lists floating around the web, but we're only going by the visual evidence in the trailer. Here's who we saw:
Villains:
Hatch. Almost certainly a red herring, since the show reportedly finished filming in September, when Hatch was still in federal custody for giving unauthorized media interviews.
Jerri Manthey, "Survivor: Australian Outback" and "Survivor: All-Stars." She's one of several people taking a third crack at "Survivor."
Alicia Calaway, "Outback" and "All-Stars." She will always have her finger in your face.
Rob Mariano, "Marquesas" and "All-Stars." He's arguably among the best players who didn't win on "Survivor," but he didn't fare all that well on "Marquesas," not even making the jury.
Jon "Jonny Fairplay" Dalton, "Pearl Islands" and "Fans vs. Favorites." If you're gonna have a group of villains, you've got to have Fairplay.
Randy Bailey, "Gabon." He's one of the few players from recent seasons included in the list.
Heroes:
Rupert Boneham, "Pearl Islands" and "All-Stars." One of the most popular players ever, he's an obvious choice.
James Clement, "China." He was voted out despite having both hidden immunity idols in his possession, which he didn't play because he thought he was safe.
Yul Kwon, "Cook Islands." Yul won his season, which began with the contestants being divided based on race.
Cirie Fields, "Panama" and "Fans vs. Favorites." Despite a noted lack of physical prowess, she made it to the final four in both her seasons.
Yau-Man Chan, "Fiji" and "Fans vs. Favorites." Yau-Man is best known for his deal with "Fiji's" Dreamz to give up a truck he won in a reward challenge in exchange for immunity at the final four. Dreamz later reneged on the deal, but Yau-Man said he bore no grudge.
Lil Morris, "Pearl Islands." This one feels like a red herring -- or at least misplaced. Lil was hardly a hero in her time in the Pearl Islands.
Tom Westman, "Palau." Simply one of the most dominant players in the show's history.
Anyone else that you see in the trailer?

i talked to Jerri Manthey back in july and asked her if she was going to be on it and she acted like she knew nothing about it, which lead me to beleve that she was going to be on it.
I'm pretty sure I saw Sugar in the villains clip as well as Jenna Lewis.
On the heroes side, I think I saw jenna morasco (amazon)and ozzy.
Saw in the trailer: Jenna (the one who won, forgot which season), Ethan, Amy, Ozzie and Rudy.
Don't think Ethan will be on it. I think he is still getting treated for Hodgkin's disease.
I spent over a hour doing the play/pause thing and discovered pictures of at least 28 past Survivors! I froze & copied their pictures!! There's only supposed to be 20...explain???
Hey guys,
believe me this is the true and only cast that we will see. It's on every spoiler site:
Males:
Colby Donaldson
Coach Ben Wade
James Clement
Randy Bailey
JT Thomas
Rob Mariano
Rupert Boneham
Tyson Apostol
Russell Hantz
Tom Westman
Females:
Cirie Fields
Amanda Kimmel
Candice Woodcock
Courtney Yates
Danielle DiLorenzo
Jerri Manthey
Parvati Shallow
Sandra Diaz-Twine
Stephenie LaGrossa
Sugar Smith
sounds pretty amazing doesn't it! I am most excited about Sandra, Courtney, Colby, B Rob, Cirie and Randy!
Least excited about Tyson. And Coach, what a joke!
But all in all, can't wait for that 2 hour season premiere!
Aah, let's see. . . Rob Mariano has no life except for reality TV and moronic TV execs keep bringing him back. Even his own show was a joke. When you start to run out of original ideas, you do "an all-star", "a best of", or "a greatest hits." You mean to tell me CBS couldn't find 16 - 20 interesting people for a fresh Survivor season? With pre-formed opinions on everyone who will be participating, nothing will be a surprise. Yawn, wake me when the new season rolls around in Sept.
Wow, this looks like a great list of people. Hope most are true, though I wouldn't mind replacing Candice and Tyson. I would much rather see Jenna (Amazon) and Johnny Fairplay. Richard would have been great, but he's obviously in jail still. Overall, a great group for Heroes vs Villians.
And since it's Season 20 (10th Anniversary), I think it's fitting for an ultimate All-Stars edition.
Surprised about Tom considering he's turned them down before. But I'd love to see him since he's one of my favorites. Kind of disappointed to see some people who have already appeared multiple times, but I guess it depends on who they can and can't get.
Are you sure about Rudy, Maggie? He'd be close to pushing 80 now.
I think Hatch won't be there, because of his legal problems.
Ethan is fighting cancer, so I doubt he'd be there, too. Same goes for Jenna M, since those two are dating.
