CBS has finally announced the cast for Survivor’s second All-Star season: Heroes Vs Villains! Some are three-peats (Stephenie LaGrossa, Boston Rob Mariano, Amanda Kimmell), some are previous winners (Parvati Shallow, Sandra Diaz-Twine, Tom Westman), and others are just hungry for a victory and the million dollar check.

The following is the tribe layout complete with full names and former seasons:

Heroes tribe:
Colby Donaldson (Australian Outback)
Rupert Boneham (Pearl Islands, All Stars)
Stephenie LaGrossa (Palau, Guatemala)
Tom Westman (Palau)
Cirie Fields (Panama, Micronesia)
Candice Woodcock (Cook Islands)
James Clement (China, Micronesia)
Amanda Kimmel (China, Micronesia)
Sugar Kiper (Gabon)
JT Thomas (Tocantins)

Villains Tribe:
Jerri Manthey (Australian Outback, All Stars)
Rob Mariano (Marquesas, All Stars)
Sandra Diaz-Twine (Pearl Islands)
Danielle DiLorenzo (Panama)
Parvati Shallow (Cook Islands, Micronesia)
Courtney Yates (China)
Randy Bailey (Gabon)
Coach Wade (Tocantins)
Tyson Apostol (Tocantins)
Russell Hantz (Samoa)

I’m excited and extremely peeved by some of the choices on here. It’s great to see oldies like Jerri and Colby, though I wish there was some sort of representation from Season 1. (Richard Hatch’s request to leave the country was legally denied.) It’ll be interesting to see if Jerri and Colby can mend their differences.

Other pros: STEPHENIE LAGROSSA. Yes, she gets all caps. I loved watching her outlast her entire tribe on Palau, and loved watching her change of strategic direction in Guatemala as well. She’s one to keep your eye on, and is always entertaining and likable for viewers.

On the other hand, there are definitely some we could’ve done without! Sandra and Cirie? Snooze. Tom, though a standup guy, was one of the more boring winners to watch. Randy from Gabon? Hope he gets a swift kick off the island.

And don’t even get me started on Evil Russell.

With all that said – this season is sure to turn into a raging bloodbath of lies and betrayal with some of Survivor’s greatest players ever.

Let the games begin.
