Survivor backstage!

Ever wonder what preparation goes on behind the cameras for a reality show?

Survivor's Jeff Probst shows you in a series of behind the scenes videos. Check them out at the CBS website.

As for the current season - after just one episode, I've already picked out who I'm rooting for to win and the ones I hope don't last long.

So far, I'm rooting for James (the gravedigger guy) and Amanda (the hiking guide). Amanda wasn't shown much yet, but some early comments by her already prove that she totally understands the game.

The most annoying to me was definitely the NYC waitress (just an unpleasant person), the whiny woman wrestler, the full-of-himself poker player, and Sherea (who seemed to be stunned that Survivor was taking place outdoors).

A lot of them weren't shown much, so I'm sure the list will change next week. Plus, most of their names don't sink in until a few episodes in.

It does look like a fun season though. See it online or Thursday nights on CBS.
