Survivor: Gabon, the 17th edition of the stalwart Survivor series, premieres Sept. 25, and today CBS revealed the 18 castaways who will — in the network's words — "embark on an amazing African adventure, battling extreme conditions and interacting with wildlife such as elephants and gorillas while attempting to forge alliances with strangers from diverse backgrounds."
It's actually a pretty interesting group: An actress who was briefly on Gilmore Girls is in there, as is an Olympic gold medalist and a professional gamer.

CBS has announced the 20 contestants for Survivor: Micronesia, the whopping 16th edition of the show. This time, the network is throwing in a pretty ridiculous twist: The 20 contestants are divided into tribes of 10 former castaways and 10 superfans. The tribes will be dropped on the Rock Islands of Micronesia, where I suppose we'll see if experience with Survivor's challenges outlasts crazy fandom.

Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I have been hearing a lot about this disease. Of course my favorite thing to hear are the stories from survivors — we all need to hear that whisper of hope in our ears, since so many women are touched by breast cancer.
