 GILLIAN LARSON AGE: 61 OCCUPATION: Retired Nurse HOMETOWN: Temecula, CA (raised in South Africa) GILLIAN SAYS: ''I love doing all sorts of crazy things. It doesn't matter what age you are. As long as you can physically do it, do it! And hopefully they'll look at me as a mom and you know, who would like to kick their mother out of the game?'' JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Charm is her strength because she's likable in doses, and that's her liability. Does she know when enough is enough? You can only hear someone say 'I'm from South Africa' so many times before you want to say, 'Why don't you go back to South Africa!''' Video Entertainment Weekly

| MATTY WHITMORE AGE: 29 OCCUPATION: Personal trainer HOMETOWN: Pacific Palisades, CA MATTY SAYS: ''I'm a fierce competitor. I don't want to lose. I was raised in the mountains and also in the city, so I got the wilderness down and I got the humanity down.'' JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''I think Matty will be one of the favorites this season, someone people will absolutely love. I find him to be one of the most endearing guys we've ever had on the show to the point where it could work against him because he can't hide anything. If he's confused, he says 'I'm confused.' If he's happy, he's smiling. If he's sad, he's crying.'' Video Entertainment Weekly

| JACQUE BERG AGE: 25 OCCUPATION: Medical device sales rep HOMETOWN: Santa Barbara, CA JACQUE SAYS: ''It's kind of one of my natural instincts to flirt. I don't mean to. That's actually going to be something I watch, because I don't want a target to be on my back from the other girls.'' JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''I think Jacque will be a bit of a dark horse. I don't think she'll be a leader. I think she'll use her looks and her charm to get in with the right guy and hope that she can ride with that guy as far as she can. If Jacque gets deep into the show I think she's a legitimate threat at the challenges. She's pretty fit.'' Video Entertainment Weekly

| DAN KAY AGE: 32 OCCUPATION: Lawyer HOMETOWN: Walpole, MA DAN SAYS: ''My Achilles' heel in this game will most likely be trust. You have to have trust to win this game but you have to know who is untrustworthy, and that's probably the most difficult task.'' JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''He's earnest, but he is his own worst enemy. He means well and does not know when to shut up. He's like a cocker spaniel, charming and annoying at the same time.'' Video Entertainment Weekly

| SUSIE SMITH AGE: 47 OCCUPATION: Hairdresser/assistant teacher HOMETOWN: Charles City, IA SUSIE SAYS: ''The first player that I see going off thinking they're gonna track an elephant or a hippo, I'm gonna kick their ass, because we don't need them coming into our camp.'' JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Susie is a mom, and she likes to talk. That's definitely her biggest obstacle to overcome, that she can't shut up. If I went in and played this game and got teamed up with Susie, I would be wary of her hanging in there with me, because she seems to go with the wind and doesn't even seem like she's paying attention at times.''

| MARCUS LEHMAN AGE: 28 OCCUPATION: Doctor HOMETOWN: Atlanta, GA MARCUS SAYS: ''In addition to trying to be charismatic and active in the challenges, I have a little additional problem, which is that from society's viewpoint I have been very successful already.'' JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Marcus is a physician, as he likes to remind people. And he is a true leader, an extremely bright guy. He's a hero. He is a huge threat to win the game, for sure. He has looks, he's got smarts, he's probably the fittest guy out there, so he's got a lot of things going for him.'' Video Entertainment Weekly

| MICHELLE CHASE AGE: 24 OCCUPATION: Music production assistant HOMETOWN: Los Angeles, CA MICHELLE SAYS: ''I will win Survivor because I'm the bombshell baller. I'm bodacious, and I outwit, and outlast, and outplay. And I need a million dollars really bad.'' JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Michelle is a wild card for me because I actually thought that Michelle had a good solid energy coming into the game. But she's very small and very young. I think her life experience is the big question mark. What will she do when the going gets tough?'' Video Entertainment Weekly

| ROBERT ''BOB'' CROWLEY AGE: 57 OCCUPATION: Physics teacher HOMETOWN: South Portland, ME BOB SAYS: ''I'm a high school teacher. I enjoy younger people. I'm not part of their group, age wise, but emotionally I'm about 12.'' JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''He's the oldest guy out there. And unfortunately, that works against people all the time, even though there's probably nobody better equipped for this game. He's probably the guy who will be the biggest asset, if they don't get foolish and vote him out.'' Video Entertainment Weekly

| Exclusive: The cast of 'Survivor' Gabon EW.com Article has small spoiler before you read on The 18 contestants competing this fall on Survivor: Gabon—Earth’s Last Eden for the series' 17th cycle include an Olympic gold medalist, a Gilmore Girls actress, and a professional video game champion, EW.com has learned exclusively. Crystal Cox, who won gold at the Athens Games in 2004 as part of the 4x400m track relay team, is the biggest name on the roster this season, which premieres with a two-hour episode on Sept. 25. Also among the fresh faces is Jessica “Sugar” Kiper (Gilmore Girls fans may remember her as the pin-up model who made out with Milo Ventimiglia during her four-episode arc as Shane) and Ken Hoang, the current international champion of Nintendo’s Super Smash Brothers Melee video game. There will also be a prominent international presence, with contestants who have lived in South Africa (Gillian Larson), London (Ace Gordon), and Chile (Paloma Soto-Castillo). As for the format, the biggest twist of Survivor: Gabon involves Exile (formerly Exile Island). “When you go to Exile this time you can either get a clue that will help you find the hidden immunity idol, or you can get ‘instant comfort’ — a nice thing to sleep on, some food, some fruit,” explains host Jeff Probst. “Depending upon the time, we’ll make the temptation bigger and bigger. The idea was to see if anybody would be dumb enough to choose comfort over the only thing that guarantees you to stick in the game, which is immunity.” Okay, did it work? “By the time this season is over, you can make the case that maybe this is the dumbest team when it comes to idol play.” Also for the first time ever, Survivor: Gabon will be shot entirely in HD. “If you’re a Survivor fan and you have HD, it will be a completely different show,” Probst promises. “When you incorporate the wildlife, it’s kind of like being in a Spielberg movie. I mean, it’s so real-looking that it’s exciting and scary.” And that wildlife Probst speaks of will come into play when elephants visit a tribe camp. “A truly real, raw moment of a wild animal that’s not in a park or some protected area,” Probst says. The contestants of Survivor: Gabon will be divided up into two tribes at the very outset by a good old fashioned schoolyard pick ’em, which will immediately lead to the contestants’ first challenge. And while there are no hardcore “showmances” this time around, Probst does tease that one player proves particularly popular: “Marcus, the doctor from Georgia — one of the most arrogant guys that we’ve had on the show — he at one point had three people after him. And not only women.”
