Survivor 21 Castaways have been revealed and today we’re getting our first look at them and what they’re all about. As mentioned previously, it’s Old vs. Young this season in Nicaragua, for the first time ever.

There are a lot of strong personalities mixed with country bumpkins mixed with young professionals and of course some hot, physically fit men & women all competing for $1 million. There are lot of people that aren’t revealing what their true professions and a lot of people that aspire to play their game like Boston Rob or Parvarti. Let’s see how it plays out.

Without further delay, here are the castaways:

ESPADA TRIBE

Jill Behm
Age: 43
Current Residence: Erie, Pa.
Occupation: ER Doctor
Thoughts: Jill’s experience as a doctor she feels will help deal with the various emotions and variables thrown her way. She describes herself as a very conservative right-winged Christian. Hmm, I wonder how that will affect her game. She doesn’t plan on telling people that she is a doctor.

Jane Bright
Age: 56
Current Residence: Jackson Springs, N.C.
Occupation: Dog Trainer
Thoughts: Says she’s gonna be most like Rupert or Tina. I think she’s going to be super likable. Her husband passed away in April which may affect her emotionally. That being said, it may drive her to work even harder at winning this. “I’m not some lazy ass bitch that don’t wanna get their hands dirty,” she says. Love it.

Tyrone Davis
Age: 42
Current Residence: Inglewood, Calif.
Occupation: Fire Captain
Thoughts: He grew up in Compton and has done a lot in his life and overcome a lot of adversity. He is very likable, perhaps one of the more physically able of the older bunch, and my guess is he’ll stay under the radar (aside from his physical abilities).

Wendy DeSmidt-Kohloff
Age: 48
Current Residence: Fromberg, Mont.
Occupation: Goat Rancher
Thoughts: Wendy says she’s not like any other Survivor. She guessed that the twist this season would be old and young, which she is right, and thinks that they’ll bring back Russell and Parvarti. Oooh that would be awesome. She knows the game but she talks a lot… She’s likable, but I hope she doesn’t get kicked off for being herself. She seems so sweet.

Holly Hoffman
Age: 44
Current Residence: Eureka, S.D.
Occupation: Swim Coach
Thoughts: Said she’d mostly be like two time winner Sandra because she is strong and a mother. She feels like she needs to try and lay back a bit because she has the tendency to be the leader. I like this woman and she’s likable but she has to keep it toned down.

Jimmy Johnson
Age: 67
Current Residence: Islamorada, Fla.
Occupation: Sports Broadcaster
Thoughts: As the “celebrity” of the bunch, a former NFL coach and two time Superbowl champion, he may have a target on his back. That being said, he had tried out for Survivor before and wasn’t accepted because of his health. This could obviously be in issue given the extreme conditions of Survivor.

Dan Lembo
Age: 63
Current Residence: Watermill, N.Y.
Occupation: Real Estate Executive
Thoughts: He thinks he’s gonna win because he grew up on the streets of Brooklyn and knows how to deal with people. He seems pretty mellow which means he won’t rub people the wrong way. Hopefully he’s not as mellow during the challenges or I can see him as a deadweight very soon in.

Marty Piombo
Age: 48
Current Residence: Mill Valley, Calif.
Occupation: Technology Executive
Marty says he’ll be like Boston Rob in terms of his determination in the game. He seems really smart & level-headed – he knows how to play the game. I see him coming up with some great strategies and strong alliances, but he may rub people the wrong way along the way.

Yve Rojas
Age: 41
Current Residence: Kansas City, Mo.
Occupation: Homemaker
Thoughts: She thinks she may be like Parvarti and hopes that there will be an exile island this year. She seems to speak her mind and she seems like the type that will get a target on her back because of it.

James “Jimmy T” Tarantino
Age: 48
Current Residence: Gloucester, Mass.
Occupation: Fisherman
Thoughts: Apparently a huge personality, I see him as the Rupert slash Dragon Slayer of the bunch. It will get him far in the game, but not as far as he’d like. I’m pretty sure he’ll make the jury at least. He was the winner of the Survivor CBS contest to be one of the castaways.

LA FLOR TRIBE

Jud Birza
Age: 21
Current Residence: Venice, Calif.
Occupation: Student
Thoughts: I think this guy will go far. He’s good looking and knows how to talk to people. Level headed but you can tell that the wheels are turning and I’m sure he’ll know who to align himself with. He has his eye on one of the women in his tribe so we’ll see if there is a showmance that will unfold.

Kelly Bruno
Age: 26
Current Residence: Durham, N.C.
Occupation: Medical Student
Thoughts: She has an artificial leg which means a lot of things. It means she may draw sympathy from her tribemates. It means she may not be as strong in physical challenges. Most importantly, it means she is likely one very strong woman who doesn’t let anything hold her back.

Shannon Elkins
Age: 30
Current Residence: Lafayette, La.
Occupation: Pest Control Co. Owner
Thoughts: He was married at 19 and has been married for 11 years. He’s hot but Probst thinks that he has a bit of an ego and won’t get as far as he thinks. He thinks he’s most like James, but with a better social game.

Ben “Benry” Henry
Age: 24
Current Residence: Los Angeles, Calif.
Occupation: Club Promoter
Thoughts: Says he’ll be like Boston Rob or JT: Quick with it, witty, do whatever it takes. He’s cute – again seems like the type that will form a strong bond with some other guys and form a strong alliance. He feels that he lets his emotions get the best of him so that could be his downfall.

Matthew “Sash” Lenahan
Age: 30
Current Residence: New York, N.Y.
Occupation: Real Estate Broker
Thoughts: He thinks his wit and strategy will make him win the game. He’s super likable and super successful. He doesn’t plan on telling people how big of a player he is in the real estate market in Manhattan. He says he pretty much controls it. Hmm, we’ll see if he controls this game.

Brenda Lowe
Age: 27
Current Residence: Miami, Fla.
Occupation: Paddleboard Co. Owner
Thoughts: Jeff Probst describes her as one to watch out for. She is fit, hot, gets along with people, but she’s sort of a black widow. Ooh, I love black widows! Can’t wait to see what sort of web she spins in this season!

NaOnka Mixon
Age: 27
Current Residence: Los Angeles, Calif.
Occupation: Physical Education Teacher
Thoughts: She says that she is the bomb. She’s an athlete but she wants to downplay her physical abilities. She says she has a bright personality and she is all sorts of fabulous.

Chase Rice
Age: 24
Current Residence: Fairview, N.C.
Occupation: Pro Race Car Jackman
Thoughts: Says he’ll be most like JT because he’s from the South. He’s hot and soft spoken. I don’t see him as stirring anything up which is good for him and I see him as strong in the challenges. He does seem a lot like JT, so hopefully he won’t make an idiotic move and make a deal with the devil like JT did last season.

Kelly Shinn
Age: 20
Current Residence: Mesa, Ariz.
Occupation: Nursing Student
Thoughts: She was the captain of her highschool cheerleading squad, which means she is physically fit, but perhaps annoying. Or, perhaps she’ll be that spirit of encouragement when the team is down.

Alina Wilson
Age: 23
Current Residence: Downey, Calif.
Occupation: Art Student
Thoughts: She says she’s gonna be a mixture of Pavarti, Amanda and Stephanie in comparison to former Survivors. I like the Survivors that she wants to be like, but whether she can pull of a game like theirs is another story.
