According to host Jeff Probst, there's a pretty strong good vs. evil theme this season. Also, the show will be shot in HD for the first time, meaning that even if the contestants are obnoxious, the backdrop will look beautiful (at least for those with HD screens). </p> <p>Every year, I'm a little surprised when <b>Survivor</b> returns, and yet it keeps holding its own in the ratings. Check out the video introducing the contestants, and then let me know: Will you be watching this voyage to "Earth's last eden"?</p> <p><center></center></p> <p>Photo and video courtesy of <a href="http://www.cbs.com" target="_blank">CBS</a></p> <!-- no strip poll --><form action="/1897268" method="post" id="epoll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>Are You Excited for the Next Survivor?</label> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-0-1897268" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-0-1897268" name="edit[choice]" value="0-1897268" class="form-radio" /> Yes!
