New 'Survivor: Panama - Exile Island' Cast Announced

The CBS website has the new cast for 'Survivor: Panama - Exile Island' up for our perusal. The show's premiere is set for Thursday, February 2 (Groundhog Day!) at 8 PM ET/PT in most areas. They will begin as four tribes -- older men, older women, younger men, younger women. At least one Survivor each week will be banished to a separate island miles away from camp.

Hmmm... let's take a looksee at these folks:

Nice looking cast, and some older people too. Did you read on the CBS website it said there will be 4 teams, older men, older women, younger men, younger women. Interesting to say the least.
Thanks for posting Jackie, I am anxious for Feb. 2nd.
