Survivor: Gabon - Season 17

We've seen this season's cast of Dancing With The Stars and Amazing Race. Now it's time to meet the Survivor players for the upcoming season...

Amongst the 18 contestants there's an actress who made a few appearances on Gilmore Girls, a 2004 Olympic gold medalist, two lawyers, a hairdresser, and the current international champion of Nintendo's Super Smash Brothers Melee video game.

If that doesn't make you want to watch this season, maybe this will - Jeff Probst told the Associated Press recently that this season has a wild animal problem that the producers had to figure out how to deal with. That should make it interesting.

Survivor: Gabon premieres Thursday, September 25th on CBS.
