LeAnne Taylor - Survivor Week One

Week 1, Survivor Gabon          

I can't believe summer's over and a new season of Survivor has begun! Eighteen new contestants all trying to outwit, outplay and outlast the rest. What a diverse group there is this season. The oldest Survivor contestant is a 61-year-old woman... not nearly as old as Jerry from Big Brother... but we'll have to see how long she will last. There are two contestants who are 22. Ken is a professional gamer... video gamer. And Kelly is the other "youngster" but she claims she's a natural leader.

Here's a look at my picks and why.

GC- He's a former homeless guy who knows how to survive. He loves the outdoors, and it sounds like he can swim and fish... two very good qualities when on Survivor! He's got some muscle but seems to have a good personality.

Dan- On paper, this guy sounds really nice. Hard-working, All-American guy. We'll see how he does with interpersonal skills.

Crystal- 2004 Gold Olympic Gold medalist in track... enough said!

Be sure to tune in Friday mornings at 7:40 a.m. on Six in the Morning as Pastor Tim Gray and I recap all the action each week. And feel free to email us your comments and we might just read a few on air!

By the way,  I still think Pastor Tim would be a great contestant for the show. Mark Burnett should just ask me!
