Survivor: Philippines - Lisa Whelchel

OK. If you're going to have Blair from Facts Of Life and Jeff Kent on the same season, you should just bite the bullet and do Celebrity Survivor. With Probst wearing a Trump hairpiece. The whole season.

Not the case for most "wealthy" people, but it is for her.

That would not have worked if she was regular person that was never famous... I'm not complaining, I honestly don't have much of a problem with recruits on these shows, lots of good players have been recruits anyways...

Even if there wasn't Twitter and she just sent in her tape, CBS would love to have a "name" on the show. The thing that bothers me about recruits is that they don't seem to be fans of the game. They all think they're the greatest player ever because they were recruited to play. Some of them have been great players, but I preferred the older seasons before recruiting started. After all, there's a reason why Fiji was so damn terrible.

At least she's a fan of the show! That's pretty cool. I kind of like when minor celebs appear - its fun to see if people will recognize them or not. No one knew about Taj, right?
